<VV> Towing a 4-speed

[Spencer Shepard]

Ken,

I flat towed a '66 CORSA (convertible) from Estes Park Colorado to Green
Haven NY with no Problems. I never started the engine. It was 1971 and I
went as fast as my Greenbrier would go but probably not more than 60 MPH
except down hill. I still have it and the transmission is quiet and works
fine.

I'm thinking about towing my Corsa Cvt 4-speed on a tow dolly behind the RV.

 

This would have the front wheels on the dolly and the rear wheels on the
ground.  Has anybody done this?

 

Is this mechanically safe for the Corvair?  Any chance of damage to the
transmission or differential?  It would be nice for Car Shows.  Most of the
time we would be towing the Minivan which is front-wheel drive.

 

Ken
