Haha nice. Believe it or not I saw a guy on Craigslist 2 weeks ago selling some kind of original tow hitch brackets for 67-68 Camaro's that were made by a company in NJ back in that era. Was gonna send you the link Jeff but I totally forgot until now.

Probably NMW. That stuff is worth some coin these days.

The scary part of that setup is the way it bolts to the bumper and to the bottom of the rear tailpanel. It doesn't bolt to the frame at all! :shock: The best picture is still the one of the Yellow 69 Yenko Camaro towing a U-haul across the country. :lol:

I forget the guy's name, but one of the car mag editors or writers (John P Huffman maybe) drove from NJ to CA in an L72 car with 4.11 gears, towing a trailer... ouch...

too true.

i've told this story probably a hundred times, but... my next door neighbor owned a parade car, down to the convertible top. well, he was having troubles getting it started in the morning. most mornings after some words i can't repeat here, he would get it started. one day it left him stranded in front of his house. i have never forgotten that day, or the condition of the car after he got done beating it with the jack. not the jack handle, but the whole bumper jack. he even went through the convertible top more than once and several scars in the body from the hook on the jack. from that day forward i vowed that i would own one and treat it a lot nicer than he did. the end result was the car was towed away to the junkyard. probably for nothing more than either a starter, battery or alternator. what a crying shame that was. but, the thing is, that's the way those cars (well, some of them) were treated back then. not like they would be worth tens of thousands of dollars someday. if he only knew then what he knows now. heh. :mrgreen:

that's also why i will never sell my car. they can pry it from my cold, dead fingers. and i will even leave provisions for it in my will. someone will inherit a gold mine when i die.
