I think the owner would cry if his car went anywhere near the sea water. I bet it sounds awesome though.

Yep, build quality of Yank motors must be terrible. That's why only half of Cuba still relies on 50's Chevys, Buicks and the like for their daily transport rather than all of them

Expensive! I hope he has checked it out properly. My understanding is that all tow bars now have to be tested and plated with a manufacturers plate, E mark, rating and test number displayed on a badge. If it doesn't have that, his insurance company can walk away from any claim involving towing and he can be prosecuted for towing with illegal equipment.

I've got a 360hp Saab 4wd estate in the showroom if someone wants an amazing tow vehicle!
It's one of These but it's been chipped a bit!

In the magazine they put a tow bar on an Aston Martin Virage (now DB9) a couple of years ago to pull a Cygnet down to the south of France.l Kind of like yacht and tender!

Blown 426 Hemi at a guess, though I suspect it will have had all the numbers done on it to hit that output. Has he quarter-mile'd it?
