Tow Dolly, moving a Sky/Solstice...
« on: March 19, 2016, 03:00:55 PM »
Has anybody used a tow dolly to move their Sky/Solstice? If you put them on backwards, then you wouldn't have to remove the drive shaft. I've done this with Fiero's in the past (the steering wheel locks in and I used the the seatbelt around it for added security) and had good luck. I was just wondering if there is something with the Kappa platform that would prevent me from doing this?

Similar to this....

The front end being as low as what it is and the way it often drags going in some driveways would it drag on the ground when being pulled in that matter on a dolly? I don't see why it would be an issue otherwise.

Welcome to the forum, did you buy one and looking to get it home?

Your tow vehicle seems to be fully capable of towing a Kappa on a car trailer. Personally, I dislike using a dolly for several reasons. I have not towed a Kappa on a dolly.
