I am good with garage space. I have a 26 wide 28 deep and the bay where I want it to go was made to fit a lift so its about 13' high. I know my cars (66-7) are about 19' long bumper to bumper, but also I will be using the unibody attachments, but is that still too long?

Well, sounds like Whirly Jig it is.. I just purchased the Standard Plus with Hydraulics. I priced out some others and although the others ranged from $200-400 less delivered, I think in the long run this one makes sense. Comes with the two outer base bars, fully painted, unibody attachments and assembled. With shipping $1845. Also, today is the last day for prices, they are going up tomorrow.. Thanks all.

The Autotwirl I got from Eastwood (unpainted) was $1628 including the shipping. It is the plus model w/ 8" offraod wheels and 3 sets of mounting brackets. I'll spend the $20 for paint & paint it myself.

I have a question regarding rotisseries. If you put the 8" or so wheels on or what ever size to move it around easily, can it be pulled onto a flat-bed tow truck. I want one as well. I would like to do most of the work i can and what I can. I'm wondering if you put the car on ANY rotiss., can you have the car and rotis. pulled up on a flat bed to go to a body shop? 
You can put it in/on a trailer or truck, but I'd recomend extra support during transportation to prevent the body flexing like a leaf spring bouncing down the road.

Also, does anyone know the minimal area required to have one useful?
I'd say the width of the car + room to walk around it
The width of the car high + about 6 inches (I wouldn't try anything less than about 7 1/2 feet)
The length of the car + 2 1/2 feet on each end, + room to walk around it

I have a Whirley Jig with a 70 Cuda on it right now. I just sent it out on Friday to have the Cuda media blasted. The length from the jig's front to rear tires is about 21 feet. The connecting pipes are longer to allow the use on bigger cars, such as B bodies, etc, bringing the total length to about 22 feet. Most car trailers are no longer than 16 feet (of car space), and most flatbeds are 19 feet long. I have always had to find a tow company that has a heavy duty flatbed, such as one that is used to transport buses, in order to have my set-up fit. Hope this helps.
