Suitable Day 2 Tow Car ? ! ?
 

I picked this up last evening with thoughts of using it as my Day 2 tow vehicle .
A '74 Malibu Classic with 33,200 actual true miles.She's a 3 owner car, Garaged, mostly original paint ,extremely clean interior, trunk, under carriage. (A big trunk for a tool box,jack, spares and maybe a small set of slicks)
350 4 barrel Q jet ,Mallory electronic ignition, chrome dress up kit. Stock manifolds with a mild deep tone SS Dual exhaust.
Trans cooler, Turbo 350 with a shift improver kit. Drives nice, straight and solid. Has new radials.

To tow a 3500# car I'm needing to add a class III or class IV ball hitch to the frame of course.
What's the best way to set up the rear of car ?
Moog Cargo coils, Air bags (inner spring) or modern Gabriel Air Shocks OR something else ?https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...ml_600x450.jpg

VERY nice!!!! All it needs is swivel buckets!

Damn , you're reading my mind on those swivel buckets &amp; &amp; &amp; Console floor shift &amp; &amp; &amp; tilt wheel !.
Before I even called the guy I was scanning for swivels &amp; related hardware . Lol... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img]

The swivels they designed for this era Chevelle were just cool as was the console. It would not be a hard swap to make and would make a huge difference in appearance. Still a great looking car.

My '75 &amp; '77 Monte Carlos had them. !

The '70 SS 454 was a bench seat.
The '78 TA 400 4 speed WS 6 Golden Anniversary .T Top A/C Car had. 2 tone Leather Conventional Buckets. .
This era buckets are comfortable but not as Comfortable as those SWIVELS ...

The white vinyl roof is original and X- Tra Nice

Drives Nice, Smooth and effortless ....68 mile trip home in an on and off again torrential downpour..... with original Power Beam head lights. Lol.
Crystal clear windshield, new blades and rain X or Polish on All the Glass made it better ..
