tied a chain on front of each 4 by 4 in a V shape, you have a skid!!

This sounds like the cheapest way to go, and sounds like it would work pretty good.

The thing is, the body of the car is remarkable shape. Two of the fenders have small dents on them at the bottom, and the trunk lid has a small rust spot on the right bottom corner. I dont wanna tear this car up trying to move it from where it has been resting for over 30 years.

OK.....I finally got the car moved to my house!!!!!

Here is how I did it. First I cut all the tree's down that were in the way. 3 to be exact. Then I made a skid from 2 8' 4x4's, a few 2x4's, and a sheet of plywood. I put the skid under the rear leaf springs, and put an old boat trailer axle under what was left of the front suspension. Then I used my truck to drag the car to the driveway of the house it was sitting behind. Then called a flat bed tow truck to tow it to my house. Tow truck guy only charged me $30. Best thing about it is we did all this with out tearing up anything!!!!!
