Towing safely

I need to tow a '91 for about 120 miles. Can this car be safely towed with the rear wheels on the ground and the driveshaft spinning for that distance? Because of suspension mods, getting it onto a full trailer involves much work and dragging chassis.

Well they do have trailers that drop teh bed to the ground to compensate for lowered cars. but if you still plan to flat tow or dolly the car then you WILL have to remove the driveshaft at the diff. Otherwise you take a chance of grenading the tranny.

But seriously try to get that little bugger on a trailer. It's just so much safer for you and the car that way.
