[Spits] Dolly or Trailer

[Joe Curry]

Definitely a trailer.  You don't want to do any more damage to the
differential or tranny by running them with the possibility of water in
them.

Hi all,

I'm going about 5 hours from the house to pick up a '71 GT6.  I'm told it
was flooded in this past winters floods.  It has had silt in the interior.
That said, it's still in pretty good shape....bodywise.  The question is, do
I trailer it or dolly it home.  The cheaper route is the dolly.  The trailer
is 20' long & really puts a hurting on your body after a while...tends to
bounce the truck a lot.  I'm leaning toward the dolly.  

What are the thoughts out there?  I'm thinkin' it would be a wise move to
grease the axles in the back.  I'm assuming this car is a rotoflex
suspension.  Are there grease fittings near the brake backing plates like
there are on the solid axle cars?  

I am planning on bringing a set of good rims/tyres to install as well as
grease, tools...etc.

Cheers,
