If I remember correctly, the owner's manual in my dad's old '69 Rambler said you could flat tow in neutral at speeds below 50 MPH for a maximum of 35 miles. The output shaft of the trans. will be spinning but not lubed because the pump  is not running. 

Normally you would remove the driveshaft for a tow like this, but the torque-tube setup makes it difficult. Could you back the car onto the dolly so the rear wheels are stationary then tie off the steering wheel to keep the front wheels straight?
