It has a 454 Chevy engine and I assume a TH400 trans which should be fine. He said the battery(s) is/are new.BOBS66440 wrote:
to tow my small (2000lbs loaded) race car trailer and stay in the paddock during the race weekend.
You REALLY NEED to find out what the tow rating is on that model. The engine/transmission combination might not be good enough to tow that big a load. Then you also need to know the tongue weight so you don't exceed the load capacity of the rear tires.
I have a "small" trailer; it is 6X8 and holds one motorcycle. ;)
P.S. no matter how good a shape it's in things will go wrong. How about the 12 V batteries; how old are they ?
