And speaking of warm, it was yesterday in SW Wisconcin so I fired up my 65 crown. She started right up after two months of sitting-but what else would you expect from such a finely crafted vehicle? Does anyone know if my 413 V8 will safely pull a 1970 17' Shasta (meaning-heavy) trailer. The car came with a hitch on her so I assume so but I'd hate to do any damage. Thanks! Don ************** Wow, Don, you must be kidding! We are talking a Mopar 413 here, major horsepower! These old gals make a great tow vehicle, and the 17 foot Shasta is nothing compared to an early-70's all steel four-horse Miley - of course, that one did require air shocks and load-levelling hitch. Go for a tranny cooler while you are at it - the Torqueflite will appreciate it.
