Thanks Dave for the links...
. Real interesting and all new to me.
I have heard of the Corvette Boat, but never a Corvette Trailer. I see quite a few of those Tear Drop Trailers (both new and old) at the car shows, but never behind a vette.
Does anybody have any info on installing a hitch on a C3???
Hey Tux, were those 3 travel trailer pics BS of what
, I am still waiting
You probably won't believe me, but way way back, I saw a picture of a corvette that someone had converted to a real small "Motor Home". I think it was a C3, but won't swear.
"Ring a bell" with anybody???? THANKS....

You know I sure wish I could answer yes to saying our C5 pulled our TT but I can't. They do make hitches for vettes to pull trailers with but I don't think a person would be very comfortable sitting that low to the ground trying to keep a trailer this large into view. Not that somebody wouldn't or hasn't done this.
Here is our pulling machine.
I just couldn't resist the temptation as a prankster to post the optical illusion.....

Thanks Tux...probably just a guy/gal parked in the trailer spot.
Have you ever seen any info on installing a hitch on a C3? I mean for a small trailer and not a travel trailer. THANKS steve

Low miles (was only 8,900 when I bought it in March 2006) - Now 54K miles. Original owner bought it as an investment for son's college expenses.

Vette Trailers - I've got a pic somewhere of a trailer built from a C3 being pulled by a C3 from Carlisle in '06. I'm traveling, so it'll have to wait until I get home.
Hitch for a C3 - Steve, if you check your owner's manual, there is a page that starts "if you're thinking of towing with your car..." or something to that effect. It talks about it, but not in detail. I have occasionally seen what is listed as a C3 hitch on e-bay, but not for some time.
Oh, wait! I just took a look, and there's one there! The price is pretty reasonable too! I've thought about them in the past, but since I don't have a trailer, it's just wishful thinking/wasted money.
Steve, I know what you mean about not much room in the 74. When I put the top down in mine, and have my custom stereo box, I have virtually NO room in mine!
I wanted a Corvette my whole life, but I never dreamed of all the wonderful people I would meet because of it!

Thanks Marshall for info. I just put in a bid for the hitch on ebay. But I don't understand, the minute that I put my bid in I got out bidding. What gives?? How could I be outbidded so fast. Does anybody know what gives??
Anyway thanks....and yes if you can post pic

Here's a thought for a receiver type hitch.
A neighbor of mine is reworking the hitch on his Expedition. He is replacing the regular rear bumper with a custom fit one that will be painted to match the body color. He is putting a hinged license plate bracket on the new bumper and will cut a hole in the bumper behind the plate for the receiver to pass through to the reworked hitch. When not in use the hitch is not visible.
I overheard some C3 folks talking about this at an event I was at. With our cars so low to the ground already it made sense to me. It also removed the clutter of the hitch from sight.

I actually had one of those one wheel trailers.
We bought it right after I got married in 82 and hauled our tent and supplies to go camping with . I think it was made or sold through Sears. It was pulled by a 1978 Dodge Colt. I can still remember drilling the bumper to mount those brackets and my dad shaking his head and laughing.

Proxy bidding, if the bid is at $20.00 and if you bid say $25.00 and the last guy has $26.00 for his maximum bid , you just got outbid by $1.00. you then bid 30.00 for your maximum bid, the bid will probably show as $27.00 and the next guy will have to beat $30.00 to get past you. If he bids $28.00 it will tell him he was just outbid and you will still be the high bidder untill somone bids more than your $30.00 .. Clear as mud? 
Its a little hard to explain but once you grasp the concept , it all comes together.
