A hitch on a Corvette [without anything attached] looks just plain wierd...

In 1980 a hitch was a factory option. I ordered a hitch from the U-haul site. Class 1 receiver hitch #76357@ rdc524 (2000#Capacity) $75.00 You can also contact them for more info.

If you have any welding shops or boat supply shops in your area give them a call. You might be surprised at what they may have hanging on the wall back in the corner!
Got a 5x10 Alum Triton, Keep the load lite why not! Hmm?

My '75 convertible had one. It was purchased by the PO at, and installed by U-Haul. It was a 1" square receiver and was used to haul a golf cart trailer.
I think the price was somewhere around $200. I sold it a few months ago.

I had a hitch on a 69 (believe it was made by Valley) --- bolted to each side under leaf spring and had a drop down bar (for access to spar) --that attached to center frame behind license plate... --- Good luck --- J.T

I used to pull a trailer to the race track. It was fun pulling in with an old beatup vette and a wooden hardware store trailer!

Not mine, mine is the truck with the 57 bird on it and the red/white ski boat with the numbers behind it. But this shows a Vette can take it pulling a 19 foot Hydroflite.

Good job Kid Vette, I knew I had sold a few "very few" of those Corvette hitches as a GM Partsmanager, I just could not find a picture, A GM accessory in the 70s and early 80s. the hitch you have the picture of has a quick release pin for access to the spare tire, bolts on to the differential spring support and rear frame crossover. never a factory installed option, but was a dealer installed or over the counter GM accessory.

I am also interested in this too since i drive my vette to the car shows and i am running out of room for tents, gear and stuff that i pack inside the car. i would love to make an awsome trailer to tow behind to hold my goodies.
