Seriously, Ray... That's a really good idea.

I decided the same thing and bought a never-started CMC kit to build up a second Speedster, one for New England and another for South Carolina, with the idea that I could give up the towing back and forth. Got it about 1/3 built and then got hit with some massive family issues which made staying in South Carolina impractical. The second car got sold to the elves at Merklin's House of Magic and is now somewhere else (finished), while we no longer have the SC place.

By the time you buy a suitable trailer and tow vehicle, you will have sunk a lot more than buying a used Ghia to putt around with. The savings would buy a LOT of Fish Tacos at Capt. Jack's Seafood Shack.
