Default C4 Corvette Trailer

I have a 1985 Corvette that I turned into a trailer. We all know these cars need luggage space. It has a tube chassis with C4 control arms. Interior is marine grade plywood with indoor/outdoor carpet. Uses a early C4 front and late C4 rear. Originally I was going to use to haul a beer keg and tap out thru rear license plate and call it a "thirst aid" trailer. Pics explain it all I hope.

Price, $3000.(actually have over $5k in it.)

Quickest way to contact me is malcolmmar@msn.com thanks.

You have quite an imagintaion sir. Most people just use the back half. It's obvious a lot of time and work went into this. I hope you can get what you are looking for on it.

Thanks for the good wishes. Also both bumper covers are fiberglass. The rear was cut in half and widened 3 to 4 inches to match the hood width.

Pretty slick do all the lights work? What type of harness does it use pin wise? Is it titled so it can be licensed as a trailer?

Lights are wired up to hitch area without a plug on it yet. As far a title? Hmmm don't know what to say. I believe I still have the 85 title which is just the hood and front suspension now. Everything else is new parts. I guess I would have to do a bill of sale and give all the documents I have from wrecking yard.

I think if you got it titled you would sell a lot easier. Great job I would love to own it, but the paperwork is a little stumbling block.

I built a trailer several years ago out of an old camper. In order to get it titled here in Michigan I went to the Sec of State office and got a form from them for a "home built trailer". All that was required was to get it weighed. I took it to a nearby grain elevator and they issued me an official weight slip. Took that back to the Sec of State and they gave me a registration and plate. Easy peasy.

Just found out yesterday that Kentucky is going to issue me a VIN and a title for this. Hopefully will have in a week or so!

This is fantastic. Very nice work. Once you get a title I'm sure you'll have a much easier time selling it.
