Frankly, the only oscillating Vair I've ever ben involved with towing was a
'65
Greenbrier.  Everything else, including a Forest Green '69 Monza flat towed
nicely all the way across the state back to the driveway outside.   


Vairs are not stupid cars.   Those lates have been hearing what you've been
saying...    


Now:    By any chance did this car not have an engine in it?   I've seen some
people have problems with flat towing lates with no engines, rear end
sitting a
bit high, throwing the front end caster off a tad.
