So much overhang, it follows the curvature of the Earth

Nahhh, that is nothing, you should try the 72-77 ish size cars, they really did. The '77 onwards caprice was no longer considered a 'full size' platform

Having said that, I've still bought tickets in the draw for this

More importantly , does it do wheelspins? 

Maybe on gravel.

I mocked this picture up a few months ago just for the raised eyebrows! No towbar fitted, can't imagine it being a particularly fun experience although the nose weight may help with grip?!

To be fair years ago, Capris years ago were just regarded as cars used for car things. I think my Brothers 280 had a towbar when he bought it, was quickly removed though

My dad, to our 1600 L Mk2 which would have been just a year or so old at the time of this photo:

I remember seeing an "Autotrader bargain" FB RX7 which a tow bar and a 2.0 Pinto fitted.

some people used to fit them to save on dinking the bumper in minor parking altercations so could well be that
