Will a Bug tow another Bug Long Distance?

Sure will. You do need a suitable tow hitch mounted to the towing car. These attach either to the frame horns or the rear tranny frame.
And lights, of course, and safety chains.
And realize that the car's brakes will barely stop
2 cars.Overheating the engine is a real concern, so plan to keep the speed down. Engine temp goes up very fast as speed increases.
And read the 2 towing stories on my web site .

Be sure to have the second Bug in neutral while towing or it will burn up the transaxle. You ought to be using the highest octane gas available because of the extra load on the engine.
Great and informative website!
