Receiver Hitch for 83 300D Anywhere??

Hey folks,


I have been searching and searching, and have not been able to locate a receiver hitch for my 83 300D. This would be used for a bike rack only; no towing of any kind. The trunk racks and the roof racks are unsightly, clumsy, and pricey. The only receiver hitch I could find would fit a 240D, or those with a fixed tongue.

If anyone can point me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it!!

If it fits a W123 240D, it'll fit your car....

Here is a good starting point.

I got a hitch there - not bad at all.

Can't be that difficult to weld a receiver to a tongue if only to support a rack.
