Here is one of our prospective tow cars  of course we wont go to far in our 1939 Buick we have the 96 Holden to go long distance. I have to work out how to discreetly mount a tow bar with out spoiling the lines of our classic |

Is it the 8.40, 8.60 or the monster 8.90, whichever it is, it wont feel the weight of any van you care to put behind it.

Hi,
she is the 8/40 248 cubic inch straight eight motor.
coil suspension all round.
I'm going to have a tow bar made that will fit up under the body, bolted to the chassis with a removable tongue, there is plenty of room under her to mount it and it wont be seen
I don't want to tow something to heavy behind her as she is in her late 60's !!
I don't want to go over 1000 kg's tow weight

Rex I agree with Jailbar that is some motor car you have there I had a 38 ford slope back and jailbar is most certaintly right the 39 40 ford had a beautiful grill line as well if you stick around that 1000kilo you will have no probs my 53 chevy has a blue flame six and has tons of torque as your girl would have and does it with ease mine is around 238 cubic inch three on the tree fanstastic to see the group growing in Victoria Will  |

Well we traded our VS Commodore for a VY Commodore (with a tow bar) not because it had a tow bar but it was time to trade up for less Kms  |
