- Hi roadster fans, How do roadster fans transport their cars? I'm trying to figure out the best means of getting my car to Solvang. I want to pull it with my RV and I have 3 options, tow dolly,car tra

- You can always tow it backwards. There's less fender extending past the front wheels that the rear. My 70's steering wheel locks when I remove ignition key, so the 69 probably does too. It's probably

- I've towed my car across country 2X this way. One thing is that you don't have to worry about taking out the drive shaft. This is less of an issue with a 2L than 1600. But, after doing this I've been

- Not that I'm recommending this, but perhaps a steering wheel club and some rope or lashing straps could be used to tie the wheel from turning as backup? If you can get the club locked where there is

- Get a trailer and trailer it BUT you need to have trailer brakes as trailer plus car will be heavy. In my opinion, towing is never good for cars.

- Trailer. Thankfully a roadster at 2200# is still pretty light, so a small single axle trailer will work fine. Flat Towing: The early steering box has just a "peg" into the worm gear. When flat towing

- Having been part of the Colorado-Misery towing adventure, I would also suggest good tires on the vehicle being towed. Seems obvious, but that 35+ year-old rubber may not be as good as it looks. We le
