Re: 1967-69 Camaro Rear Sway Bars
That may be a factory part...I'm not sure, but it is definitely "way different" than the 70 Nova setup.

Re: 1967-69 Camaro Rear Sway Bars
Visually that doesn't look like a factory sway bar. Notice how it is mounted to the axle tubes. If it were mounted this way it would definitely be crushing the area along where the factory brake lines should be. Looking at the photo it doesn't appear that any brake lines are there. Just my opinion.

Re: 1967-69 Camaro Rear Sway Bars
I agree -- the same bar appears on my 71 Nova ... appears to be after market. TAZ

Re: 1967-69 Camaro Rear Sway Bars
Craig,
Do you know if the sway bar on your 71 Nova is an early ADDCO sway bar? Apparently they were around back in the day. -Dave

Re: 1967-69 Camaro Rear Sway Bars
Dave, instead of having guys posting a bunch of images of their cars, why don't you post pics of yours? If your car ever had a rear sway bar on it, it would have physical evidence remaining and somebody here could tell you what was probably there. If you are simply wanting to add something because you happen to like it, no harm there. Just be upfront about it.

Re: 1967-69 Camaro Rear Sway Bars
Here are pics from my 71' Nova. I am sure the bar is aftermarket --
   the brand I haven't a clue. Most of the parts were in the trunk when I got the Nova. Had to fab some of the pieces to install.

Def aftermarket.

Re: 1967-69 Camaro Rear Sway Bars
That what I thought Marlin -- I'm not ever sure I have it mounted correctly ... took a WAG at it and the pics show the result. If anyone has a better perspective on how to attach ... PLEASE let me know. TAZ
Also, excuse the dirt -- Nova is sitting out under the car port ... no room in the shop.

Re: 1967-69 Camaro Rear Sway Bars
Craig,
Thanks for taking the photos. The mounting location to the frame rail makes sense to me now. The aftermarket sway bars that I have seen all mount in the same frame rail location. Seeing the photos has convinced me that my sway bar was aftermarket. Much appreciated. -Dave
