I dolly towed it over a short distance. I don't totally trust them though. I would highly recommend the full drive on trailers. U-haul's car hauler trailers are usually pretty nice to tow with, but you need a big truck.

How are you planning to hook up a tow bar, strap or chain? Any part of frame strong enough for it to support a pull is above the front spoiler, and bumper. I've never done it, but I bet it will tear the front up.

I have towed with a dolly C3s and C4s. Stick and auto. The auto has to be short distance and very slow <50 or disconnect the drive shaft. I bought and use an X-uhaul dolly, very HD and my Chev 1500 V6 and Nissan V6 pull them fine. 1 trip over 200 miles with no problems. If you pull an empty tow dolly, lower the air pressure in the dolly tires. Otherwise you will think your being followed by a pogo stick.

A reserved yes. How far and how fast? The only thing to really watch for would be the rear of the car. You don't want to screw up the exhaust. I have towed a 90 and 92 6spd using my uhaul, low and wide, dolly. Your rear gears are still rotating when in neutral and rolling, but no load so its easier on them than driving. Just my opinion and I reserve the right to be wrong.
