Did the same Billy, ‘flat’ towed it,with a tow bar, jacked it up,put horses under the rear axle housing,removed the spare driveshaft yoke,and installed the driveshaft assy., removed the rear (street) tires,and installed the slicks! Nowadays,that would surely wear me out I think!!! 🙄 😆 Pete.

First time”s out it was a tow bar and 55 Olds sedan, then a single axle trailer from the Mafia bothers and a 57 Nomad I found that was owned by the nuns at my school. Willie got a 57 Nomad with a 6 cyl. in it and we sometimes used it. The picture is Paul Sullivan’s 59 Plymouth conv.

Got a guy showing his ’67 cuda straight axle being tow barred to his ’67 GTX at Syracuse ‘Gasoline Alley”. He found the tow bar in a yard sale for $5. Guy didn’t know what was. Went home and made and mounted to tow tabs…just to show the ‘kids’ how it was.Don’t think he’ll flat tow all the way to our Race …but will “drive” the Cuda from Syracuse area.
