I used my 1963 Bonneville to pull our 24 foot travel trailer with no problems. Brakes should not be a problem because in most states the trailer is required to have brakes. If your tow car's brakes fail you should be able to stop with the trailer's brakes. Not quickly but you can stop. It happened to me one time going down hill towing with an old truck. Also a big deciding factor when towing is frontal area. A car on an open trailer is easier to pull than a car in an enclosed trailer. I used a weight Distibution hitch with a sway control. My car was stock and in good "driver" condition. The only concern I might have is the condition of your transmission. I would have it checked by someone familiar with that trans and if okay add a big trans cooler. Good luck.
