When I first started racing I used a 1968 Plymouth Fury 4-door 318, auto with 3.23 gears ... never had a problem ..

I prefer 1962 300 H.... It featured a Aluminum 727 TorqueFlite much better than the cast iron older transmission used thru 1961. After that I
used 1968 to 1970 Chrysler Town and Country Wagons with 440 Engines 480 Torque @3200 as I remember.

My coffin nose 1975 Matador S/W.Flat towed my original 1973 gremlin for 6 years.
360/727 with highway gears.Not a rocket but it got me there,mostly to NY National and Westhampton and occasionally Island and the Grove.

GTX John.
Yes the 62' had the Aluminum-case 727 Torque-Flite, but
the 60' 300F had the dual Long-ram intake.
When cruising at 65 mph, it made an unbelievable sono-ramic sound.
No swaying, even around sharp corners.
Car was built like a Sherman-Tank.
Gas milage like one too!! 7 MPG

Vic,
Nice Tow car.
What color was it. Thats the 'Key'
But did it have swivel seats like the 60' Chrysler 300F.

I know somebody is going to post that they had a Cadillac Hearse, or
possibly a Cadillac Limousine (white w/white vinyl top). Could pick those monsters up cheap, and they made a great unbreakable 'Tow Car'.
