My 67 with 14" libres and super comp front springs could not make it onto the uhaul car hauler.

Re: Towing a roadster - My lesson today with uhaul
In all honesty, it was a little sketchy getting it on. I had to to e in the rams and the further you went up the ramps the tires hung over the ramps a bit. You have to be pretty careful.
The other thing I learned is that UHaul has 3 different size car carriers and if you’re not paying attention you can get the wrong one. Based on my own experience at my local store, they certainly don’t pay much attention.
That said, the smallest carrier they have is still a little wider than the Datsun track… you just have to be careful getting it up and making sure it’s straight. I was literally able to straighten the rear end out by lifting it and “scootching” it to the side a bit to make sure it was straight on the carrier.
