Re: Best Tow Car
 

I used a 1976 Buick Estate Wagon to pull my open trailer. 455 with 2.41 rear gear, t400. All my friends I towed with always had to tell me to slow down. It just started to feel right at 70mph.LOL

Forgot about this one.
1969 Pontiac Bonneville Station Wagon
428/390HP H.O.
A mint condition, all black car, w/Ansen Brite Finish Mags
The fastest Tow Car I ever saw.
While towing a GTO race car on the trailer, it passed most of the
Stockers that were driving to the track.
Nobody could keep up with it. Could run 100+ mph all-day long.

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.

Just sold my Bock Dragstar trailer this year, one hell of a trailer.

Jerry Stein towed his '64 Plymouth Max Wedge A/SA to Atlanta one year with a matching '64 plymouth station wagon with a 426 street wedge and open trailer.

Yeah Ed , but the one ton ramp truck was the safest way to tow.

Very little swaying ,decent ride, you only feel each bump twice instead of four times, easier on tolls, (that would be the Will Rogers Tnpk for you) and you could haul *** at 80 mph, all day and night..

Id like to see everyone go back to open trailers and ramp trucks. There would be more room in the pits. Cant turn back the clock though.

In 1986-1990, my 63 Pontiac Parisienne Safari station wagon did the job, pulling my 61 Biscayne on a dolly trailer. Factory 340 HP 409 4 speed. I changed the rear gears to 3.55 for towing the car.
