doesnt look like it'll hold much.

[Charger-Bodie]

its deffinatly not built the way an owners manual for a charger shows

[PocketThunder]

what are you gonna tow with it?

[jgbailey57]

It looks just like the one on my 69 R/T.  I'm not saying it's original or anything, but it's on there and it's gonna stay.  I plan to tow a pop-up camper with mine.

ok folks how about some pics of trailer hitches?.. 

[Rocky]

Here is mine

[Brock Samson]

wanna sell it?.. seriously. 

[1970 Charger 500]

what are you gonna tow with it?

I have a period correct 10' fiberglass boat and a 1970 trailer!
I thought it would be fun to pull my boat to a show or 2.
I have old tackle and fishing poles and other outdoor stuff my grandfather had.
It would only be cool if the hitch was correct!
It shows 1970 1968-69 Charger right on it!!!!!!

The owner before me used it to haul his jet-ski to the lake.    

Could you imagine backing a Charger down a boat ramp and into the water?

On second thought, I'd probably do it if I had a jet-ski.

Charger + trailer hitch = sick-n-wrong.

[Silver R/T]

    i always thought  that was a factory installed  tow hitch , as if i saw a charger with a tow hitch it was  always this type but ... i think it was Chris (6T9) who said that no tow hitches were factory installed , even with the trailer tow package

[1970 Charger 500]

I am not looking to tow anything seriously or use it at all really.
I am just looking for options to add to my car to make it stand out a little more.
I have a '70 Charger 500 383!!! Not much flash or very many rare original options.
I believe that the 500's are not NEARLY as coveted as the R/T's so I don't get as many looks.
The one way I can get more looks is to add more unusual options such as a correct trailer hitch or
a luggage rack even...another thought of mine that people keep talking me out of.
I am pretty competitive and park next to 70charginglizard at most shows,
you know how cool Kelly's car is!!

[Brock Samson]

It's also a great deterent to folks nudgin your car... 
so rocky im thinkin your's isn't the "Correct" type...
i'm also considering chroming a Jenny Lee push bar for the front...
(maybe ringing the car with rebar, I'm not yet sure if i'm gonna chrome that or not...    )

[Rocky]

No mine is definitely not correct, but it does look a helluva lot stronger than anything else I've seen.  It tucks nicely under the valance too.

[Brock Samson]

it' does look pretty stout, i'm likin the bracing.

I had one on my '69 similar to the one you show. Only difference is the mounting plate went between the gas tank and the bumper support.I got it at u-haul in 1980 and it was probably on his shelf for years. It was definatly the last one in the area. I used it to haul a 16' fiberglass boat. I had a lot of fun pulling the boat up the ramp with 4 speed and sure-grip

Do both, the hitch with a trailer and the luggage rack.  Put a suitcase with your cleaning supplies or your favorite beverages in it on the rack when you come pulling in, I think that would look neat. 
That's how we used to drive them, they were the basic means of transportation.

Do you run the stock or modified class?  You can always conveniently disable Kelly's car. 

[1970 Charger 500]

I have thought of all that exactly!!
I thought a '70's suitcase would be fun. Someone on ebay sells repro luggage racks
I would have to have two deck lids, I really do not want to drill holes in the original
I enter in the stock class
I am having fun with my 500!

Hey Hey Hey....Enough of that kind of talk! 

[Silver R/T]

I just had to post this 

I always tear up a bit when I see this picture.......   

[no318]

I have one off of my 68 that I would gladly sell for the $50 bid on that one.  I don't want to use it, but apparantly some people do have a need for them.
