I usually just use a tow dolly. I've towed a Squareback from Seattle, WA to Boise, ID; a Squareback from Powell, WY to Boise, ID; and a Notchback from Rock Springs, WY to Boise, ID. The shortest trip was about 500 miles. Later today I leave for St. Louis, MO for a new-to-me Squareback and will tow it back home on the same tow dolly, with the same Ford Aerostar van, a trip of about 1700 miles. It will take a few days, but I'm looking forward to it. I'll post an update when I get home next week.

I'm back since I am planning to purchase a '69 Square about 4 hours from my home, 240 miles or so. I may have to decide to use an auto transporter or a tow dolly from the orange moving folks. (I don't if a friend's trailer will be available.) The dolly is less expensive than the transporter, but I haven't towed an ACVW for more than 15 miles front wheels down, and that was in-town, 45 mph. I am thinking it would be safer to spend the extra $$ and get the transporter unless anyone here can recommend the dolly and any tips you used to tow successfully. Thanks.
