Towing

The hitch on my 67 Barracuda just bolts to the spare tire well up front, and to the rear valance. (I've replace the bumper since this pic was taken.)

The hitch my 65 Barracuda used to have bolted to the spare tire well up front, and to the bumper in the rear. Here it is in 1970.

Both hitches are obviously light duty hitches. The hitch on my 65 is long gone because my Dad hauled trailer loads of sand with it, which was enough weight to bend the crap out of the bumper and the rear legs of the hitch, and also left a 4-6 inch long rip in my spare tire well. He did the same thing to what is now my 67 Charger, bent the you-know-what out of the rear bumper and ripped the spare tire well.

I'm more careful with the hitch on my 67, which I found on a junkyard 68 Barracuda back when you could still find A body Barracudas in the junkyard. It is stout enough to allow me to haul a couple of motorcycles back in the day when I didn't have a truck. (I confess I'm a lot older and heavier now than I was when this picture was taken in the early nineties.)

I still have the 67, its hitch and the trailer my brother-in-law built, but the motorcycles are long gone. Here's what the 750 Honda looked like when I finished with it. The meth-head I sold it to ruined it.

that’s one good looking motorcycle.

I’m not planning on hauling anything big, but having a hitch would be helpful if I need to. Might be driving cross country this summer and would be nice to take a bike with me
