we got around with this one year flat towing and 2 years with the trailer shown-had a complete 70 W-30 drivetrain including the olds 12 bolt 3.91 posi. Hauled well, was underbraked for sure, but we drove slow and careful

I flat towed the 69 Vette stocker using a cutom made tow bar welded up (heavy mother) by Dick Estiveze so it would fit under the shark type nose and still be the correct height and length to be level with a hitch on my 66 Pontiac Grand Prix. Gas milage was about 10 MPG.

stage1scott,
The Vista Cruiser was a pretty popular station wagon 'Tow Car'. Possibly the 'Best Looking Station Wagon' Especially the 69' with the dual-action tail-gate. Watch your fingers on closure of the door ![]() pc |

Back in the early 70's when I started to run the 67 Nova(start of my racing career) at Dover Drag Strip in Wingdale, NY I used my 1969 Chevy COPO Chevelle. It had a 427/435 with 4 speed on the floor. It look like an SS but was not. It towed the Nova like it was not there.

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

Paul: I think the 61/62 still had the long ram on Letter Series G/H unless they were stick cars..then they had mid ram (14" runner instead 28".
