A guy I am working with is getting rid of his rusted out 914. I am thinking about parting it out. I was thinking about flat towing it, but I am concerned about the car breaking in two or something else horrible happening during the 20 mile tow. Nothing like dealing with two separate halves of a car in North Philly. Anyway, anyone got a trailer/towing vehicle and is willing to lend a hand? I'll pay for gas, beer and cheesesteaks. Lemme know.
Thanks, Chris |

Chris,
I no longer have my wifes truck to tow with so I sold my trailer this time last year. I had to borrow a truck, and rent a U-haul trailer to get this last car home. You'll probably need a winch/come-along to get the car up onto the trailer as well. Be safe. Kevin |

I should mention that I'm pretty much just available weekends, but I'm glad to help out. I can get you the Titan specs if you go talking to the UHaul people. They're pretty much inistant you have a half-ton V8 or better - which it is. If we go this route, I'll need to know what size ball to put on the drawbar, and their recommended height above ground - although I think my standard setup should work just fine for 20 miles... |
