Car Dolly + RX-7
Looking to transport an RX-7 halfway across my state. Will a Car Dolly be acceptable for my purposes, or do I need to get a full on trailer due to damage to drivetrain/etc. that can pop up?

exactly what i did, for about 350 kms. put the back wheels on the dolly, tired the steering wheel up and went on my way. you can leave the car in gear and put the e-brake on for extra security to, something you cannot do if you are towing with the front wheels off the ground.

Backing the car on is much easier on a lowered car as well. The approach angle on my Vert makes it impossible to drive onto a trailer or a dolly but it will back on with no problem.
Tie that car down to the dolly really well, check it after 1 mile, check it after 5 miles, then check it every 100 miles after that. Frequently the car will need to be re-tensioned after 1 mile, but not after the next check. If the 5 mile check requires a re-tension, then check it again after another 5 miles.
Be careful and good luck.
