I've been hauling my cars around with an enclosed 24' V Nose. Be sure to get one with a dove tail (floor slopes down inside the trailer to the door) for better ground clearance. If you've got the extra cash that driver side escape door is nice... something I'll be looking for on the next trailer I buy. You could probably get by with a 20' but I'm constantly running engines, tires, and misc parts around with me and the extra couple feet are nice to have. I put in some cabinets up front to hold straps, tools, etc..

This one I have is a Cargo Mate. I would not buy another one. It wasn't that much cheaper than a name trailer and I've had to reweld and reinforce nearly half the frame where it supports the box for metal fatigue. I've probably put about 40k miles on it over the last 6 years and its all be on paved roads so no excuse for that.

Mustangs fit easy... the 70 Chevelle I just finished up was snug side to side. I'm glad it was a convertible so I didn't have to open the door to get out.

Good luck!

I bought a trailer with drivers side escape door, wouild not ddo it again. The wheel wells for the trailer hit the drivers door, I can just squeeze out the door when it hits the wheel well. Plus just another opening to let dust in and weatherstripping to go bad.
