Towing your Mopar

I was in the Navy and towed my 69 Barracuda with a tow bar. I made several long distance trips without pulling the drive shaft (four speed car). Well, it caught up with me the last trip. I roasted the output shaft and first gear. I had to cut the output shaft in two to get the 2nd and 3rd gear off. After I rebuilt the tranny (expensive, try finding a good output shaft), it was obvious why you shouldn't tow the car with the drive shaft in place. Not enough lubrication as the output shaft spins with the gears basically remainining stationairy.
The good news is the car tows like a dream with a tow bar. You just have to get the thing rolling before you start turning or else the front tires will turn the opposite direction you are trying to turn.
