Trailering a vette

Will a C4 go onto a Uhaul flatbed trailer without tearing up the front valance? ba

You might have to put a few 2x4's(2 per ramp) about 2 foot long in front of the ramps to lift it up. I do this on my trailor all the time.

Watch the fender height, doors might not clear and you won't be able to get out.

Get a trailer that has a removable fender so you can open the driver's door.

I used a U-haul the first time I needed to move my vette and I removed the front air dam just so I didn't have a problem.
It would have rubbed bad if I didn't remove it.

I have no problem putting my Vette on my open trailer but I do have the removable left fender on the trailer which you will need unless you plan on doing a Dukes of Hazards exit.

I've used both u-Haul & Budget car haulers.

Is you car lowered at all?

If so, you'll tear the exhaust out of it!

I hauled mine with Uhaul trailer in Dec last year. I recommend that you put a 2X6 under the ramps to so nothing scrapes underneath the car. Also make sure you get a trailer that you can lower the left fender.

As much as I dislike "trailer queens", I am having a trailer modified for my 91 Coupe. With the ground effects and side pipe I only have a little more than 3" clearance.

Here's my 87. picked it up in March . Slight rub going up the ramps but can be avoided by laying 2X6 on approach to ramps.
The uhaul fenders do fold down but unfortunately you still cant open the doors so get ready to crawl out the back hatch !
