Wow!  Let us know how it goes if you decide to do it.


I have a trailer hitch on my new '85 and a hippie buddy sold me a '67
Splittie with a tow-bar mounted on the front for $250...The only problem is,
it's got a blown motor and is in Whitefish, MT, and I'm in Denver...

Yes, it sounds insane!  Absolutely!  And all I have is a tow-hook-mounted
tow bar on my '85 Westy!


The tow bar is rated at 1200 lbs.  The split-window bus would be towed on
its own wheels using a tow bar that hooks onto the front beam.  The trip is
about 200 miles of fairly flat road.


Am I crazy for even thinking I can make it?


Chris.
