I towed the latest red one (1966 1600) from San Diego to the San Bernardino mountains last summer behind a Jeep with a U-Haul car trailer. It was cheap and worked fine, I was able to take the car on

I towed my 1600 with a tow bar and my 72 scout. Unfortunately I didn't have a drop hitch. I got cut off by a typical Cal driver on his cell phone and slammed on my brakes. The tow bar came off the ba

One of the good things about the list is that there are so many people with experience that can add to the total amount of knowledge. We did the trailer versus dolly versus flat towing before, and I

Hey Terry - don't forget to mention that you don't have to license a dolly in Texas as long as the vehicle towed is licensed and a dolly allows a smaller truck - like mine to tow a roadster and still
