Need to borrow a tow dolly!

« on: November 17, 2011, 04:21:12 PM »
Does any one have a tow dolly I can borrow to run to kennesaw Ga and back?
Please :-[
I had been planning to flat tow a 66 beetle back with my tow bar BUT it has a narrowed beam and the tow bar I have for it will not work....
Just trying to save a few $'s (read - I'm broke this week.)
I have a sweet deal worked out for a trade with the Cabriolet, but I have to get the bettle home. 
Any help is appreciated.  The dolly will be covered under my insurance and classic car insurance policies - just so you know.
Thanks,
Kc

I thought of that, but I cannot seem to get the current owner to give me the correct measurments to modify and I really do not have time.
I am just going to bite the bullet and get it towed. 
I am stoked! I am keeping the new battery I just put in, and the cool alloys. 
I also just got the center caps in for them.  Did some measuring and found an OEM VW cap that would fit.
Thanks for the moral support.

If I wasn't so tight I'd just buy one myself.
I wonder if the club should buy one for us all to use...
Hummm.
I have a bus tow bar and a beetle tow bar as well, but no dolly.
