This picture was taken in 1970

Look in background, notice what appears to be a A-12 Super Bee , hooked to a trailer , with tow mirrors on it

Cool!! They were just cars back then, good gear & suspension means it's a tow vehicle...You should put A12 in the thread title....

My buddies 70 six pack Super Bee"s original owner bought the car to tow a boat. It would be a sight to see the plum crazy car pulling the boat at 90 mph.

I see you went back and edited your post...cute.

Did you add the fender flares and T-tops to the Bee yet?

Big Willie used a Daytona to pull his other Daytona, and there is a vintage pic on the net of a 70 Hemi Challenger convertible pulling a boat out of a lake.

When I bought my A12 in February off the original owner, it had a hitch attached to the rear bumper. He pulled his boat to and from the lake from new to 1976 when he took it off the road.

I still have the hitch.

story on my 68 hemi gtx was that the original owner went into the dealer and said he was going to be towing a trailer, and wanted the biggest engine they had...

Yup, it was definitely done; my '68 Hemi 4speed RR's original owner was in the USAF and towed a trailer with the car when he'd be reassigned; he had the car in New Mexico, Florida, and the SF Bay Area. Sometimes it had a 3.54 gear, and sometimes 4.10s. Judging by the logbook he kept on the car, he worked on it constantly, and raced it everywhere he went.

My bee was ordered to tow a trailer. The original owner had the hitch on it and used it to drag around dirt bikes I was told. Was ordered with the A 35 trailer tow package. That gave you the 054 radiator so my car is at least one part A 12

In the mid-80's at the Nats in Columbus I remember seeing a Blue Superbird towing another Blue Superbird on a trailer.
