Who's done any serious towing with their Camaros over the years? Got any pictures? I crack up when I think about how much I did it with my 84 Z28 and 93 Z28. I drove from Mass to SoCal (Camp Pendleton) and back, Mass to Florida and back a few times.
The funny thing is, I still have that trailer that a girl in welding shop welded up for me 25+ years ago. Made out of a pop up trailer suspension. Made it a tilt and everything.
Somewhere in Texas or New Mexico.

I towed this jetski and my Harley back from Cali.

Dad used to pull trailers etc all the time with the green car.. I still have the hitch..
Don't have any pictures, but my very 1st Camaro was a brand new '76 base car that I purchase in Sep 1975 right after graduating from college for a grand total of $5,000 tax, title, out the door. Nothing special, matter of fact the lowly 305 cid with all of the Rube Goldberg smog/pollution equipment, resulted in only about 140 Hp at the flywheel on a good day. Talk about not being able to get out of its own way! But in any event, it was new, it was a Camaro, and it was all mine.
Two years later I was moving from Houston, TX to Baton Rouge, LA and had all of my worldly possessions in a small U-Haul trailer being towed by my '76. It was probably a ridiculous looking sight, but it worked.

Love it. Thanks guys. I was expecting to get some old and maybe funny pictures on this one...
Dave? were you hoping someone would post a pix of a '69 SS pulling a house trailer?? :) or at least a large travel trailer? :)
Here is a pic I found online..

Maybe. Might get sick seeing a 1st gen towing a house trailer though ;)

:) :) :) Did you ever get yours 'caught' while hauling it?? :)
Not in the act, several times I was "paid a visit" Why I like it out here in the country. Lots of car guys around test-n-tuning.
Couldn't resist the pic, was a little high on lacquer thinner. Into the subframe.

Wow, GM even marketed them for towing. Why buy a truck when you can install a bumper hitch lol
Speaking of hitches, anyone reproducing them for the first gen?? Or are we stuck searching??
