My Land Cruiser (and I) pulled a 504 sedan on a U-Haul dolley about 3-4
hours on the sate Thruway. Wasbn't much to rent the dolley for the day
and I 'd never tow a car with rope that distance....

My gosh, 6-7 hours? Without a tow dolly? I would never do that! You
going on the highway too???

Dolly. Dont use your 505 either. Look at local and state regulations
wherever you going to be driving thru. Might be illegal or you might be
off on capacity. Stop often and check everything is still snug. Also,
are you planning on ever using the transmission? Is it auto or 5 speed?
Probably need to unhook the shaft from the differential. It's a lot of
work...
Ideally you have a full size pickup with a heavy duty platform you pull
behind and just put the car on it. Even a Toyota Landcruiser is barely
up to the task to get this+505 on the highway at 50mph. Having said
that, I seem to remember George bringing a 505 V6 to Carlisle (from
North Carolina!) on a tow dolly pulled by his Peugeot 604 diesel (604 is
a better towcar than a 505 tough), but I'll let George elaborate and
validate that. I might be confusing circumstances and stuff...
