Depends on how far and how fast. Being a '75, I'm assuming it is an automatic, as most were... I'd disconnect the driveshaft if you use a dolly. You should be able to unbolt only the back end and somehow tie it up and out of the way. Otherwise that'd be fine.

Keep in mind though.. those tires are more than 15 years old, and if the car has been sitting on them, they are likely not round, and basically trash. I wouldn't trust those tires above 40mph or so...maybe less.

Sounds to me like you're gonna be a pushrod RWD'er.. Welcome, friend!
