Question Tow hitch for cobra?

Now, I building this car and have the chance to build in a Class I receiver for towing a trailer (for extra tires and tools, would love it to look like the back half of a cobra ) and would love to know if this has ever been done before. Pics of the set up would be nice. Crazy as ever Patrick

Patrick,

I saw some pics of one like you described somewhere, so it has been done.

If I remember where and find them, I'll post them for you.

Cheers!
Dave

If I remember correctly someone at the London Cobra Show last year had one or I've seen a photo of one before (Out of all the things I've lost in my life I miss my mind and my memory the most).
I know there's at least one out there somewhere so if anyone knows where please chime in.

Bill Emerson of Emerson Motorsports made one several years ago. Looked really good.

There is a guy in South Florida that has one on his Cobra that he drives to different track events pulling a trailer. Although I don't remember his trailer being as cool as the one you are intending. As I recall he came off his rear 2 x 4 frame rails and mounted his receiver that resembled something like you would put on a Taurus or Camery.

Good Luck,


Clois

When I was shopping for Cobras, I came accross this one with a trailer. Looks like it was very well done. Seems like the tow bar is easy to install/remove. Wouldn't hurt to call the guy for some info.
