I was told this might be a leftover tow hook from drag racing years ago. This is on the one and only 1971 ZR1 convert. Probably fabricated

If you're looking for an FIA type tow eye/loop, I've never seen one specifically made for the C3. Were I on my own computer (don't ask ) I'd have a link to the one I intend on adapting to my shark, but since I can't recall the source from memory maybe one such as Pegasus Racing has might work for you. FWIW, the coolest tow loop I've ever seen is the folding one in/on the rear of P&M's GT1.

Thanks guys for your response, I've been searching the web also and came up empty except for the one's made for the foriegn cars, I don't know how strong they are but might be adaptable. It actually looks easy to fabricate out of some flat steel and bolt to the frame, I'll play with some cardboard and see what I can come up with. Also I'm headed to Etown today to cruise the pits at the Summernationals, there's always some vettes there running in the street classes and I can get some ideas there.....
