Best Tow Car

ALMACK · 07-28-2010, 07:20 PM

In 1988, I towed a 1986 Grand National to Bowling Green to the GS Nationals from Southern California with my Buick GS 350.... 4,450 miles roundtrip.
We stopped 15 times for gas on the way to BG.....LOL

The only problem I had was a bad Stinger ignition box. Luckily I was carrying a spare, and we were back on the road in 15 minutes.

In the late 70's, flat towed my 68 Mustang with tow hubs (remember those?) behind a 67 Country Squire 9 pass wagon, woodgrain and of course a roof rack. Raced both cars every weekend at Englishtown and the Patch (Island Dragway). Looped the whole thing on the 80 halfway to Island from North Jersey when I lost a rear tire on the wagon, about
s h i t my pants!! State Trooper ran a traffic block for me while I got it all turned around and off at the next exit..............................Those were the days!!!
