Lets talk dream tow vehicles 12 years 11 months ago #30286

I can just see myself pulling into any car show, or boat show, in a fine, early 60's mopar wagon. Over the top styling, and legendary mopar power.
But then I saw this today, and can just imagine those long road trips in luxury, fast short trips thru the quarter mile, modern safety, and still legendary mopar power. Check this link: blogs.cars.com/kickingtires/2011/04/2012-jeep-grand-cherokee-srt8-at-the-new-york-auto-show.html

We have 2 potential tow vehicles. The 1st is our 1955 Chevy Nomad powered by a '69 427 w/M22 4spd that was a daily driver but we have been collecting many parts for upgrades and a 1949 Ford F4 1ton flatbed w /'67 327, turbo 350. The ford has had all the major work work completed needs wiring and body work. Love the yellow Ford.
Melanie But if you want to see something completely outside the box......... www.blastolene.com/Work_in_Progress/deco.htm It does have a hitch. |

Well with my 1970 disco era boat being yellow with faux wood trim I was really thinking something along these lines would work pretty well. What do you think?

Jack, I think you found the perfect tow vehicle there, esthetically at least! Looks like they were made to be together. LOL

Mark Thanks, that was what I was thinking. The car I found on Ebay and really wanted it bad. It would have been to cool a MERC on both ends ! But the timing just wasnt right and I had to pass on it. I will find another at some point.. Jack |
