I think it would be close.  I have a 6x13 vnose and with my bumpers on I have about 1' of room left.  Hope that helps.

a 6X10 should technically work...BUT, a legend car is probably 10 feet without the bumpers, and 5 feet wide. so assuming you have enough length, how ya gonna get the car in there? Cant drive it because that would leave you 6 inches on either side to open the door to try to squeeeeeeeze out. If you winch it in, the winch will take up 6-8 inches of the length, so now it wont fit length wise. Also, where are you going to carry your extra tires, tools, etc.? When you add the price of a good winch, you can probably buy a 7X14 for the same price, which is the smallest I'd go...coming from a guy using a 1960's vintage open midget trailer!

I use a 6 by 12 Hualmark and it is fine. But with a 6 by 12 you have to check the rear door opening.  Some are less than 60 inches.  Mine is about 64 inches which works good. I Mount my tires on the wall over the car and use a cordless winch to load and unload the car.  With my setup I room in front of the car all the stuff.  I tow with the wife's SUV I can not put anything in the back that could get it dirty.  With a smaller trailer you have to use the "air space" above the car....put 10 pounds in a 5 pound bag...:)
