Before you can transport it you first have to get it in.
"Say Vern, I can't move the jack no more, can you start backin' the trailer up. I got everything else under control !"

If it does not fit in the transporter I will just drive it home !

"Vern" did not want to spend too much on his trailer and he made every inch count !

Some FORD transporters during the fifties, sixties and seventies.

These are two of my favorite race cars being transported.
McLaren M20 at Mosport in 1972.
1970 Boss 302 Trans Am Mustang. (After restoration )

July 5th weekend. 1970. French F1 Grand Prix at Clermont Ferrand..
The McLaren Team transporter and crew as they prepare for the race after tragically losing Bruce a month earlier.
Dan Gurney, who kindly filled in while Denny was recovering from burnt hands at Indianapolis is at the rear with McLaren M14A # 17.
Denny Hulme had returned to drive the McLaren M 14D-Cosworth # 19.
Tyler Alexander is in the doorway.
The other car on the transporter is a McLaren M7D # 16 with a Alfa Romeo T33. 3.0 V-8 engine driven by Andrea De Adamich.
These were very hard times for the team but they bravely battled on and never gave up.

I used to dread getting on the school bus at Kiwitahi but I think I was safer then than climbing on board some of these arrangements except the Porsche-Audi transporter !

Awesome pics Ken,
Thank you.
The number 88 on the silver car is on the same angle as the ramp.
Neat Topolino, and when you see a real road going on they look so tiny.
They are the car version of the Shetland Pony and Shetland Dog

John,
Do you want me to try to contact the # 88 artist to come out and apply his skills to your Monaro ?
You could just park it on an incline in the driveway and he will take it from there !
It seems VW Kombis were a popular mode of transporter back in the sixties. Perhaps someone can explain why. It would not be for the handling or for speed !.
Just in case you needed a support vehicle.
Ken- In the Hippy era, the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers turned a Kombi into an Armadillo- I loaned Spagetti the details-looked impressive scuttling along the freeway . We dont need to mention what they were transporting in SoCal
I think some of these VW transporters were carrying loads a little bit more valuable than the Kombi !
(Imagine finding this unattended in the parking lot ! A Williams FW 07 and a Lotus 49 well protected from the rain !)
(Note how popular VWs are in this photo. )

Roger,
Perhaps you could purchase and slightly modify this "Good ol' boy's" All Terrain Vehicle.

Roger,
Then you could have something like this set up in your driveway one day !
