towing your F body

I am moving in a few months and would like to use my other car (Ford Crown Vic) to pull my TA, Did anyone ever rig one of these tow bars? I dont want to use the u haul dolly with front wheels up I 'd rather pull the car like you see RVs do.

umm nope i think that rig you posted requires metal bumper, or cars do not have that and that tow bar would trash the car. get a dolly or a trailer. but then you may need a truck to tow it hmmm

If you tow the car with the rear wheels on the ground, be sure to disconnect the driveshaft. Also, a third gen is pretty heavy, be carful you don't burn up the tranny in that ford.
