Before we painted our 1965 Mustang’s engine compartment, we figured that now was the best time to mount a tow hook.
Most racing organizations require cars to sport safe, secure tow hooks as they’ll become mighty handy should a race car become disabled out on track. While we could have designed our own, Cobra Automotive offers cleverly designed front and …
Thanks for sharing.
Does that rear hook work if the rear bumper is installed?
It looks as if it bolts in place of the rear bumper?
I do not have a classic mustang or ford so please forgive my ignorance here, but I am always looking for Brand F,C,M or P parts that can easily adapted to my old MoPars.

Yeah, we DPCD (Dodge Plymouth Chrysler Desoto) guys are like that, aren't we?

'specially if you are working on that land speed desoto. :-)
$100 for a front tow hook and $150 for a rear? Cool, I'll use them on my GRM $20,000 Challenge car.
Think I made the front and rear tow hooks for the MGB from about a buck and a half of steel and a couple hours time
The quickest, easiest way is to get someone else to do it for you..........
My discreete solution for my 71 Mustang involved building my own brackets bolted to existing holes in the front bumper bracket and rear rails. I then have threaded hooks that I can screw into the brackets for track days and then remove to drive around town.

I assume you have to weld something up on the frame and extend it several inches forward?

I had a similar thought when I read the piece. I think I threw out a couple of Miata front hooks last week that could easily be welded to any car. Instead , i got 6 cents a pound.
