Yes, but be prepared for a rough ride. You will also have to rig up legal lighting. Check your state laws and local ordinances as you may be required to have mud flaps or fenders over the wheels. Even if they're not required, it's still a good idea for the protection of your rear window and more importantly, the motorist behind you. Also keep in mind that your rear end will slide out from underneath you a whole lot easier without the weight of the bed. So you will need to go slower and take it easier in many driving situations. Rear wheel lockup during braking will also be a concern, so start slowing down sooner. Removing the bed and simply leaving it as a bare chassis will change a lot of handling and driving characteristics.

What car that can be flat towed?

To the best of my knowledge most 2 wheel rear drive cars and trucks can be towed without damaging the transmission (if by your question you mean "flat towed" as meaning towed behind a tow truck on it's rear wheels). Most, if not all, 4 wheel drive cars need to be towed ( carried up on) a flat bed truck. Having a flat bed truck carry a 4 wheel drive car will prevent damage to the transmission.
