Towing a 450 with 4Wheels Down

I understand the 451 can be towed with four wheels down behind an RV. Does anyone know if a 450 model can be towed four wheels down?

Thanks,
seamo

Yes with no problems. With the engine running put the shifter in neutral and turn engine off and remove the key. The car is in neutral and rolls freely. You need to fabricate your own tow bar and mount and you are good to go.

Cheers, Dan
