Subject: <VV> Towing a LM stich shift

Hey All,
   I purchased a 1966 Corsa that has not been on the road in 23 years. I need to 
move this car soon, before the onset of winter. Can this car be towed 
easily/safely with a tow bar? I have a new set of tires to install on this car 
first.  Or do I need a trailor? The car is 350 miles away from me and there is 1 fairly serious 
mountain pass I would need to come down. Any thoughts other than "safety first"?
Thanks again,
Timothy Shortle in Durango Colorado

here in Massachusetts the gendarmes take action if there is no license plate on the towed car.
The other 49 may well feel differently about it

Senator Ted Kennedy defines trailer thusly - 
Trailer - any vehicle or object on wheels and having no motive power of its own, but which is drawn by, or used in combination with, a motor vehicle. It shall not include a pole dolly or pole dickey, so called, nor a pair of wheels commonly used as an implement for other purposes than transportation, nor a portable, collapsible or separate two wheel tow dolly limited only to the purpose of transporting or towing a registered vehicle.
