So.... where is the hitch?

Looks good, I have one like that on my wagon....

But as they say, Where is the hitch and bracket to chassis??

Like FI said, where's the hitch? That sticker is priceless.

PS you will need to internally reinforce the trunk as it was in the donor.

Hey Jammybugger,
Care to tell us the name of the junk yard that you have been using?

165lbs is nothing for the bumper, thats barely a dolly in trailer weights. The euro hitch bolts directly to the bumper mounts on the frame so reinforcement shouldn't be necessary unless you plan to go heavier, like Randy does with his 300TD.

The hitch is not on the towbar...looks like it was never used.It is drilled to accept it though.Dont even know if I will put it on my 300d sedan...wasn,t thinking of towing anything!It is a cool find though...never seen this before.

All Auto Dismantlers SF....

It just attached to the frame no modifications on the donor car.....

Euro hitch will have 50mm ball which isn't quite the same as 2 inches.
