I have tie down loops welded to my frame rails, front and rear on my car. You can see them here just after the wheel tubs. I prefer to tie the car down like this so the suspension isn't moving, and shocks wearing out.

My Valiant has frame loops like Jeff's Roadrunner on back. Front I just put straps over the strut rods and hook the ratchet straps to them.

I use two 5,000 Lb, rated straps with D rings on each end over the rear end axle tubes held by two 5000 Lb. rated ratchet strap hold downs on the rear end hook to two d rings in the floor and two of the same straps and hold downs looped around the K member in the front hook to the front D rings by the front ratchet tie downs Works good, last a long time. If I'm towing more than 50 miles, I will stop once and retighten the rears They will stretch a little and get a tiny bit loose

I prefer to tie the car down like this so the suspension isn't moving, and shocks wearing out. Like Jeff says, attaching to the frame pulls the car suspension down, so it doesn't bounce around as much (which can wear shocks). When I bought my Daytona, the previous owner had frame loops on the front, but axle loops on the rear. He showed me how he used an extra strap on the parachute frame to pull the suspension down. Saving the shocks.
