about the two bolts that hold it on. just dont look strong enough.   maybe 
its me,

Dave,
 
I used to tow an apache camping trailer with my 62 Monza coupe. This was  
back in the 60s
when i had a part time job working for an Apache Dealer in the Chicago  area.
 
I delivered trailers for them with that car.  I did have a tranny  failure in 
it but that was more from the way I drove it than from towing. In  fact I was 
probably easier on it towing than my normal driving style.
 
Towed just fine. The hitch Clark's sells looks much like the one I had back  
then. I wouldn't be too concerned
