Hi Guys,

I just finished a 2 year restoration on a '71 with a 2 liter implant and everything came out well. The car now has less than 160 miles so I want to show it off at the Ohio Islands Put-In Bay road rally. This event is open to vintage sports cars only and NO big blocks are permitted (not that there's anything wrong with them, just to be politically correct). I'd like to trailer the car from my home near Cleveland to the Island ferry about 50 miles away. Those 2 wheel dolly trailers are available nearby, cheap and easy. Is it safe and harmless to trailer my car in neutral with only the rear wheels on the ground? Would it still roll over the odometer?

Thanks for any input.

Car looks great. Congrats! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
If you flat tow, I would find a front bra to protect the paint.
If you are really concerned about adding milage, you can unscrew the speedometer cable where it enters the trans. Zip tie it out of the way.
I've never flat towed or towed on a dolly, only an open or closed trailer.
Driving the car may be an option (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Heck moving east, how do I get your trailer up to No. Cal so I can bring it back to you in Temecula when I visit family and friends down there! LOL
