pics of e bodys with hitch please

why do this ..use a Chevy to tow with. Come on give the old girl a brake. STOP THE ABUSE

Here is my challenger with a tow kit after being rear-ended by a kid in his daddy's Buick which caught on fire. Frankly the hitch probably saved my life. Used to tow all the time with it.

...Barry,I hope you got the "after" pics when daddy forked over the loot to fix it..

I bought a hitch years ago for my cuda...must be a class 1 ...2 bolts to the bumper, then 2 bolts go under the license plate area down into the trunk area and that's the way this one mounts....sits pretty high...haven't installed it yet...

It was during the 80's. I paid $1500 for it and it was full of rust. I got the car back from the insurance company +$5000 and felt pretty good about it. The whole back of the car was bent.

There was a pic on the internet taken in early 70's with a 70 Hemi Challenger convertible pulling a boat out of a lake.
I think it was EF8 .

I gotta ask my dad if it was factory, but he bought the car new and just took the hitch off a few years ago - its sitting around his yard somewhere.



I probably have some pix at home with the rear of the car, with the hitch.

Interesting thread. I did some research on the various mopar tow packages available 70-74. I'll see if I can find it.

If I recall, the 1970 tow package did not include the hitch itself, just wiring provisions/variable load flashers, etc. The hitch had to be added aftermarket. Dealerships may have also added these aftermarket hitches, but they were not put on at the factory in 1970. Like I said, I'll see if I can find my info.

With the factory Tow package (A35) you got the following:

Auto trans, 3.23 rear gears, HD brakes, HD stop lamp switch, Variable load turn signal flasher, High capacity cooling fan, maximum Cooling, auxiliary trans oil cooler, HD suspension, and HD or "trailer tow" wheels. NA with 440-6 or hemi engines.

I've often wondered what my B'cuda towed, figured it was either a small boat or a pop-up camper. Someone ordered themselves an unusual car when they ordered this one...FC7, black top and interior, 383 2 bbl console auto. AM-8 track, light package, road wheels. Standard flat hood.

Here we go, Lots of trailer towing info in this thread.
