Hey guys. I'm headed out on vacation later this week with my vert. The bad thing is there's not enough room in it for me, SWMBO, the 3 boys, and our luggage for a week. So, I'm loading the mustang on a trailer and pulling it down to Tennessee for the week.

This got me thinking how very nice it would be if I could pull a little trailer behind the mustang that would give room for some baggage. I've even convinced myself I could make the whole hitch assembly removable except for a couple of brackets which would have to be welded to the rear frame rails.

Then I got to thinking...I wonder how hard it would be to make a trailer out of the back half of a car? In particular, how hard would it be to make one out of the back half of say...oh I don't know...a '68 Camaro maybe?

Can you imagine the looks you'd get pulling that thing around complete with Ralley wheels and RS/SS badges? Maybe it's just me. I really enjoy irony.

I know that they sell mini two wheel luggage trailers. The a$$ end of a Camaro would be pretty heavy.

You can also stuff luggage into the engine compartment as I have seen done on "Stupid Behavior Caught on Tape".

These pics posted by Reedbr, shows a pony with a matching trailer, it was at Carlisle . It's about 1/2 way down the page. I wanted a trailer for my golf clubs, Exchevman is not going for it.

Wild West Mustang near Seattle has a nice trailer made from the back half of a 67 convertible For Sale . It's red !

Didn't they make a small luggage rack for the top of the trunk? I would hope that they would be detachable, of corse would it be big enough?

My vert came with a trailer hitch. It straddles the fuel tank, bolts up to the floor/fuel tank on the boot side and to the bottom of the bumper. Pretty meaty. I haven't actually held it up to the car but it looks like it would haul a good size trailer. Also, what about a luggage rack for some additional bags?

With just four seats, where would the third boy go?

I've actually considered almost the exact same thing. The hitch idea that is, not the Camaro trailer! :: I figured a pair of square tubes welded to the frame rails that a custom hitch would slide into and remove in minutes would be just the thing, not visible when the hitch is off but easy to use.
