R&R Trailers? Montrose Trailers? I think they'll both do custom sizing.

Are you planning on storing the car ON the trailer in your garage? Are you sure your ceiling/garage door motor will clear?

Rance built in IN makes a 14' aluminum solid floor welded trailer which has an overall length of 18'. I'm think of ordering one this week. Should work. Keep in mind that the d-rings will be right at the corners of the car.

Yes the garage is high enough. The idea is to keep the car on the trailer on the side of the garage. It's a generous 2 car garage width wide so there should plenty of space left with it in. Length/depth is a bit of an issue.

Thanks for the lead. What's the concerns with the d rings location on this particular trailer. Sorry never trailered before so this is all new to me.

Another thing to consider is that while the car may fit on a short trailer, there could be some overhang. For example, I have a 7541 trailer and my cayman hangs off the back probably several inches (never measured it). If you haven't done so already, you might want to measure from the leading edge of your front tires to the back bumper. That will give you an idea of how much deck + overhang you will end up with. You can also look at how high off the ground the rear bumper will be when on the trailer - it may be high enough to clear the bench surfaces.
