You say you need to push it about ten feet...but you said you want to tow it. Which way are you trying to go forward or back and can you get all the way around it,tow from front or back? not being a smarta$$ or anything it's just the post is a little confusing.

yeah - sorry, we were pushing it forward, but now we need to move it backwards (i.e. we were pushing on the front end). Because of bad weather we couldn't push in that direction, do you know if there is a rear tow point on a 75 camaro?

you could strap about anything around the axle and pull it, tho of course not far. Make sure whatever you pull it with is low so you don't crush the gas tank and tail pan.

I'm assuming you are going to flat tow it, all four wheels on the ground. I used to drive a tow truck and I'm sure that there are many places strong enough to pull it ten feet. I towed a 69 that when I got it home had ripped one spring mount from the floor and the other rear spring was broken in half already. It really scared me to see how close the wheels were to the ground after I pulled off the tollway. In the rear tthe differential is my first choice but the shackle or the frame might work for ten feet. for that matter the bumper could work if the reinforcement is solid steel.
