I had a '71 Olds 98 2dr with a 455 and T400. I was using a 4' tow bar and towing hubs then. Very comfortable, great gas mileage and would tow that 3150 lb '56 Chevy as fast as you wanted to go. Could hardly tell it was back there. Just set the Cruise Control and let her go.

Had a '64 Grand Prix with the single 4bl 421" before that. Muncie 4 spd. Plenty of power, comfortable,but it needed premium fuel and didn't get the milage the Olds did.

Went from the Olds & tow bar to a ramp truck. There went the gas mileage.
