I'm picking up a '91 740 wagon, as a parts car tomorrow. I have a choice of using a flatbed tow truck, or saving a few bucks and going the standard tow truck route. This is a parts car, and I'm mostly salvaging engine parts, and body panels.

Am I crazy towing with the standard truck?, I've seen previous posts go both ways, but those mostly dealt with working cars concerned with drive train damage.

thanks, Michael


I may have a bunch of 740 parts available, super cheap, if anyone is interested....email Michael@indrestudios.com

you can tow it with a standard tow truck. just have your driver pick the car up from the back. should be fine.

You should have told us how far this tow will go. There are reports on this site of people towing their 740's over 1,000 mi with all 4 wheels on the ground using a towbar. No problems.

I'm only going about 25 miles. By picking up from the rear, should they use dollys on the front wheels? Sounds like I'm going to be just fine with a regular truck, remember this is only a parts car. thanks for the advice. -Michael
