    Tow Vehicles

    Wow, that was SICK Mike! Exactly what year did that happen? Where was BB Sam when this happened? Cindy was driving? If YOU were driving.....no explanation needed!!
    :laugh:
    On the other end of the spectrum, I pulled my GS to MANY events all over the States for years with a 76 Gran Prix and never had a problem. My GS was full weight and the trailer was 1600# plus all the tools and racing gear. Gran Prix's were never meant to be a tow vehicle like this but I wouldn't hesitate to do it again. Over the years I did encounter several blowouts but it never caused any type of a handling problem.

    Gran Prix

    Sorry Nate, its been sold.
    That was undoubtedly the most reliable car I have ever owned. It was a 350-4 barrel car with Turbo 400. I was the second owner, I bought it with 74,000 miles on it from a retired army Colonel. When I sold it, it had 253,000 miles on it, never burned a drop of oil even when pulling the race car across country. Other than changing lifters at around 150,000 miles the motor was virgin.
    Its still running around town,
