Tommy,

What's up with that wrecked 69 SS Camaro. Looks like the 3 point bar did its job.

Kevin, it was on another forum a yr or so ago. A truck forum I think. The guy had a ton of photos of his dads old race cars.

I believe they were all the same bar with different feet except for the vette and the VW bugs. They had a shorter version of the bar.

Do you have more pics of this Camaro? That thing is wasted! I think you can see the passenger side quarter panel sticking up in the air behind the car. The passenger side sun visor is almost touching the steering wheel. I sonder what the car looked like before the accident.

It's obvious that our old Camaros are not very strong, especially in the center of the car. I've seen some serious damage done by T-bones. The Camaro just folds in half. Definitely reminds me that I still want a roll bar.

this was supposedly a current picture of the mans barn. the 68 Camaro is in the lower corner. The son said his Dad never got rid of any cars... I believe it... He also must have been a big believer in Lakewood Roll Bars

how many pumpkins do you think he fried with those tires... talk about stress (unless there is a Dana 60 back there.)

Thanks for the help guys!! The complete bar I have is out of a Dodge/Plymouth from what I can gather. It is 100% complete including the mtg hardware for the pads. They had 3/4x4" lugs that they sandwiched the floor in between.

They list as one bar but not sure how it would fit with mtg brackets as without any it is up against the headliner? Also look at the 1st bar pic and then the other red one. The passenger side of the hoop where it turns down to meet the floor is a lot shorter on one than the other. Mine is the longer version. The width appears of if it was being welded on pads.

I will post pics and measurements today of what I have. Honestly it is a super easy bar to replicate. I might just make one and sell this one to a Mopar restorer I think they used them in the Hemi Darts??If it was 2 years ago I would be going to Disney on the sale.

I wonder if the same Lakewood 3 point was used in his 2nd Camaro. From the looks of Instant Bad, the only salvageable parts from that car were probably the drivers rear quarter window and the roll bar...maybe. Cool pics!

Thanks,
