Sweet Rivers 18-footer. It's their lower deck race/show car hauler. It has a 4" lower deck which makes it great for loading the Vette. For the Panoz I still need 8 foot boards, but that thing's front air dam is 1" off the ground. Here's their website: http://sweetriversfarms.com/
Their website sucks, but they were great to work with and know thier stuff. My trailer has a few options and came out to just under $2700. It has 3500lb axles with 4 wheel brakes, a setback jack so I can put down my tailgage still, and a spare tire mount with fullsize spare. I didn't get the nicer polished wheels becuase it's a car trailer and my **** self would have wanted to polish them before every use

vettesplus, I guess I need to clarify. I'm towing it behind a 40ft motorhome so that i can drive/camp/cook/sleep and sightsee. Its our dinghy. If I drove the Vette, I'd have to check into a hotel, eat at restaurants and we've decided to enjoy our motorhome AND our Vette. Others may like driving the Vette and doing the hotel thing. To each his/her own.
