73 P1800es flat towing 1800 1973

I would like to know if I can flat tow ( on all 4 wheels) my P1800es behind my tour bus. I have a Jeep for that, and would love to sell it and only keep my P1800ES.

It’s all stock, including the 4speed + electric overdrive.

I've flat towed my 1969 144S with an M41 transmission many hundreds of miles-many times-with no ill effects. - Dave

Automatic transmission is what you don't tow.

You can flat tow an automatic - just need to disconnect/secure the driveshaft from the rearend.

I used to dolly-tow my SCCA race car (to about 3 races) -- and out of an abundance of caution, even though it was a manual transmission, I would disconnect the driveshaft from the rear end.
