Thanks guys for the help

That is likely a '71 Nova, everything is the same except for the hanger bars - they bolt in front of the bar instead of the bottom. I suspect a good welder could reposition them....

Iam going to sell it anyone knows whats it worth. I don't see any out there to compare thanks

Re: 1970 Nova rear sway bar ?
 

If you had the floor weldments it would bring a premium. Most Novas do not have this option and is a desirable add on.

Re: 1970 Nova rear sway bar ?
 

I don't see the '71+ versions sell very often, the '70 version is the hard one to find since it was only in production for about 6 months and the L78 &amp; Yenko guys want them - they typically pull $1,500 - $1,800 for a complete set with the '70 spring plates etc...

Re: 1970 Nova rear sway bar ?
 

I have a bar came off a 72 or 73?Nova SS and its down links are different still. Your down links look like 70-73? Camaro/Firebird links and they now reproduce em, but not for the 70 nova pic above. by my measements it looks like its 9/16&quot; dia bar - wonder if all Nova are same diameter? I know the F-bodys vary from 9/16-7/8&quot; depending on the suspension and year. Brent the repro links are $130 plus the Nova bar is rare anyway I would think 3-400$? depends what someone willing to pay I guess

My Dad's Cousin ordered a new 1970 Fathom Blue Nova SS350 Automatic from Marhefka Chevrolet in Windber, PA when he got back from 'nam. When cheking off boxes on the order form, he ordered the suspension package (F41?) that included the rear bar.

In telling stories about the car, the one item he remembers in detail was the rear sway bar. He said all the dealership techs were checking it out as they had never seen a rear sway bar on Nova.

I never really thought much of it when I heard these stories. I always thought it odd that he remembered this detail, as he really hasn't been a &quot;car guy&quot; for 40 years. I Guess it actually WAS a pretty unusual sight in 1970!
