<VV> flat tow corvair

[henry kaczmarek]

I flat towed a 66 3spd 500 from Buffalo NY to VA Beach behind a U-haul 
truck.  You definitely want to leave the steering wheel untied, the car will 
track behind it.  I had tow lights installed on the engine cmpt lid that 
tied into the truck.  Never knew it was back there, a 625 mile trip.
