<VV> Trailering a LM

[Matt Nall]

I need to trail my late-model convertible from the Bay Area to Reno for 
Hot
August Nights to join the other 10,000 or so pre-1975 vehicles on 
parade and
display. I've made arrangements for a U-Haul auto transporter 
which U-Haul
says is not appropriate for Corvairs! My guess is that due 
to the rear weight
bias, there may be insufficient weight on the trailer 
tongue. It seems to me
that with the vast body of experience in VV Land 
there has to be some good
suggestions on the best way to transport my 
car. I'm concerned about putting
it backwards on the trailer as that 
could damage the rear window and top. I've
thought about putting a 
couple of hundred pounds of ballast (sandbags?) in the
trunk. 
Suggestions are appreciated, especially if you have used a U-Haul

transporter for your LM convertible. Many thanks.

If you don't care to drive in the heat by leaving Frisco at  3 am......  use a Dolly....  front wheels up....


I towed mine 1100 miles... at interstate speeds and never even started the engine during stops...which is lately recommended for both types of Trans..
