Default Towing question

My 66, 289 3-speed hardtop has been sitting nose inwards in my garage for about 20 years. I need to get it out, backwards up a steep driveway. What are the best attachment points for a come-along? Any other suggestions would be welcome.
Reluctant seller, making room for a 1960 Triumph.

you can also use the tie downs on the frame next to the gas tank.

The differential would be the best point.

Also, I would use a big rock or something to "chuck" the tire every so many feet so it doesnt roll back in full speed if something bad should happen.
