I wish there was more of a back story on this, since it's so ridiculous. The "towing" process did a lot of damage to both the Taurus and the Chevy pickup (look at the Taurus's rear door and the pickup's bed side). How did he get the car on the back like that?

Yeah I know, there is so much more information this picture is begging to have with it. I've tried searching for more info but haven' turned up anything yet.

This circulated around a few years back. If I recall right the guy was scrapping the truck and the car so he was on his way to the junkyard with both.

I don't see a problem with that. Looks like a great car hauler & far less money invested than a trailer or rollback. Makes me want to buy a Chevy truck!

Looks like mobil scales in the second picture. I think he was just getting a ticket for not have a flag on his load :wink:

A while back I hauled a 1965 El Camino body shell half way across the state of California on the back of my 72 F250. It stuck out quite a bit over the back of the truck bed but the CHP didn't give me a second look. Maybe it was because I had magnetic tail lights stuck on the back of it, but it did look weird. I was fine on total weight for the truck and it was well strapped down and rode just fine.

I would also like to hear the backstory on that one. The funniest I have seen is using a john deere lawnmower to tow a ford ranger to the scrapyard
