I hauled one of my Mustangs out to Shelby on one of the open U-hauls in late November to get a supercharger on it before the auction in January. I blue taped the entire front of the car. Then it snowed and they spread that awful gravel all over everything. The front of the car where the tape was was OK, but I didn't go high enough and behind it it got sandblasted. Fortunately my friend Bud (who is no longer there) and one of his magicians knew how to use a buffer/polisher and restored it to all its grand glory so when it got to Phoenix it was pristine.

I'm not too worried about hauling the Cobra on an open trailer this time of year. There is practically no chance of any snow going over the divide, but in mid October it can and does happen. Last year I drove back in an ice storm from Vail to Denver.

Besides, if a friend comes along to help drive the truck, on at least 1/2 of the trip I will drive it across Utah from where I71-I15 meet to Green River, UT or maybe to Fruita, CO. There's a few stretches where you can wind it up.

I was going to buy a trailer but now that I'm thinking of a FGT I'd have to be sure it would be wide enough. FGTs have big butts.

Thanks!
