"New" 66, Help!

WeyerGTO · 01-31-2008, 11:56 PM

I recently acquired a 66 GTO coupe. I need to transport it from pittsburg to NYC. The largest U-haul trailer i can rent 79.25 inches wide. My questions are what is the width(tire to tire) of a 66. will it fit on a Uhaul trailer or do i have to pay some jerk. More importantly can I transport with a U-haul car trailer or do i have to get a flatbed truck. If anyone can answer these questions it would be greatly appreciated and i will gladly send you pics of this vintage, garage kept beauty i stumbled across. Please its very important! Sincerly WEYER66, email me at lotbot42@yahoo.com or simply post the response here.

Do you have to consider a flatbed towing deal if the 66 has posi-traction, or some form thereof? I know that an all-wheel-drive or four-wheel-drive car cannot be towed without using a flatbed tower. (Maybe the mechanical wizards on this site can confirm or deny.)

I assume he will be using a flatbed car trailer since he didn't say dolly, otherwise a driveshaft removeal would be fine if you were just putting the car on a dolly.
