trimacar Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 ...or, how not to advertise a car...on local Craigslist, says good daily driver, then what's that thing attached to the front of the car?"Red 67 mustang. Rebuilt inline six motor. New wiring new radiator. Lots of new parts. New interior. Needs minor body work. Road worthy everyday driver. Trade or sell just make an offer. Text price or pics of trade to 540xxxxxxx..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auburnseeker Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 It's about the same as the pictures I have seen on Ebay and elsewhere, where the owner took the picture at a car show with a big antifreeze puddle and trail under the car then states how great it runs and drives. Atleast pull it somewhere else for the photos where there isn't a fresh antifreeze puddle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
28 Chrysler Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 That is a tie down in case the wind picks up, or maybe to keep that horse still for the photo.I have seen photos of before: damage was on the left front, and the after photo was of the right front.

BearsFan315 Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 It does say "Road Worthy Driver" does not say that it currently RUNS or CAN OPERATE on it's own Power... you can get pulled around as you drive around... maybe it is a TRAINER CAR :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trimacar Posted November 6, 2013 Author Share Posted November 6, 2013 Well, no one's come up with the correct answer....I think that's a push strap, to put on a car in front of you that has problems..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plymouthcranbrook Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Silly people, it is a strap so you can use the car on the weekends to pull out tree stumps. That way you can use the car to earn it's purchase price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dauphinee Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Maybe it is one of those hot wheels that you pull the zip cord and it goes like heck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trimacar Posted November 8, 2013 Author Share Posted November 8, 2013 No, a correct push strap will do it's job, as long as there's power to the front vehicle. It's all on your point of view.....I have a friend back down south, he's a Ford fanatic...and one tour, his car died not far from home base, and I took a picture of the Chevy that was pulling it back to the hotel...and we put it in the newsletter...and man, was he PO'd....same gentleman who came to a tour in my hometown, and I loaned him a car, and couldn't resist...a 1958 Chevy...and he got kidded unmercifully on the tour!

Restorer32 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 I have a friend/customer who, let's say, marches to the beat of a different drummer. Several years ago he was alone on one of his farms. The tractor wouldn't start so he decided to tow start it himself. No regular strap or chain being available he chained the tractor to his pickup via a set of tire chains. Try to follow this now. He set the e-brake on the tractor, started the pickup (automatic), took up the slack in the chain and put a brick on the gas pedal. Quick jump on the tractor and release the brake. Tractor starts moving so he pops the clutch on the tractor which starts as planned. Now to brake the tractor to stop the pickup. Unfortunately the tire chain wasn't up to the task and snapped. Picture the pickup picking up speed as it heads across the field toward the hiway. Picture my friend ( well over 60 at the time) chasing the pickup on foot. Luckily he managed to catch the truck and stop it before it hit the road. Some of you would likely know this man, a long time Hershey regular. So I'm thinking the Mustang was fixing to tow another vehicle, thus the strap. Better visibility if you tow backwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
