Need to tow car no front wheels
We just got a 30 day notice to move. I have to move my camaro but have no front wheels. Car is pretty stripped down as I was in process of building. Is there any possibility of using a dolly or trailer without destroying bottom of it.

If nothing else, go to a wrecking yard and pick up a couple of wheels with tires. Something you could get for cheap for roller purposes would be S10 wheels, the bolt pattern is the same.

I have everything. But it's down to bare bones. No breaks. Steering. Only has k member bolted in. A arms have no bushings.

Re: Need to tow car no front wheels
If you can find a sufficiently heavy duty furniture dolly...or two...this maybe?...

...and strap it/them with some heavy straps to your cradle...then MAYBE you could gingerly get this up onto a flat bed or roll back.
It's sketchy, but with the car stripped in front, and the weight down as a result, you might get away with it.

A boat ratchet winch mounted to the railing of any trailer will get it up there with the help of a person or two pushing and steering.
good luck!
Edit: Just remembered, no steering! lol Gonna have to ratchet it up there from behind with a come-along or boat ratchet winch
again, Good luck!

I was assuming no way to mount from wheels. Sorry. Yes, the above from DonW makes the most sense.

Re: Need to tow car no front wheels
id say try to find a wide dolly with large wheels, lift front of car onto it and make sure its on the frame only, use blocks as spacers, and then ratchet strap the frame to the cart nice and tight. this will be good enough to get it onto a flat bed.

Re: Need to tow car no front wheels
It won't be going far. And it's backed into garage so that part easy. I think maybe tow dolly best
