<VV> Re: Dollying a Corvair

[Thesuperscribe at cs.com]

Back in '87 my wife and I towed our '64 Monza convertible w/3-speed from 
southern Oregon to southern California on a U-Haul dolly, and had no problems. We 
put the front wheels on the dolly and tied the wheel with a bungee, with the 
bungee's other end slammed into the door. It worked fine, and there was no 
damage to the tranny.
