Motion Corvette Traction bar.

[Serbigblock]

Does anyone have pictures of the traction bar of Mike Rusden's 1969 Corvette. It was the feature car of August 2003.

I wish my computer never crashed 2 years ago. I had pictures of a complete Motion traction bar assembly for Corvette that I had for sale. I lost a lot of good reference photos when that computer crashed.

From what I remember about it, all that the bar was made up of was two factory lower strut rods that attached with brackets that were welded to the crossmember and connected to the rear spring retaining bracket.

I know of two that were used. One is like you are describing but I am looking for a third one. There are tons of pics of everything else. It seems no one likes taking pics of rearends?

the round bar one was a Traction Master
lakewood and NMW also made them by welded flat stock

That green 482 MP Corvette was not a 1969 build
I think it was built in 1973

search "corvette traction bar" on ebay
there are 3 different ones on there

Are these the "flat bar stock" bars that you're talking about? I took them off of my RS COPO Camaro. They were installed in 1969.

Better restore them and put them back Bergy!

Thanks Dan for helping to post the picture. I saw the same bar design in two of the Motion parts ads. I do not know who manufactured the bar but I was hoping someone on the site has some pictures of this bar on a documented Motion vette.

Is this what you're after?

I saw some pics of a car somewhere online recently that had Traction-Action bars , looked like the one Bergy posted and were yellow w/ the T/A decals.
Don't recall the color but think it was a '70 Z28 and a Nickey car maybe?

Pete- What car is that from. Never saw a Motion car with air bags? However, Thank you for your post but I am looking for rearend traction bars on documented Motion cars.Thanks John

[PeteLeathersac]

John, don't miss the link in the 2'nd paragraph I noted above.
Again I think the pic is from this same car, a documented Motion Phase-3 'Vette.

looks like an ET traction bar

I have a set of them for 67-69 Camaro and has the same main bar design - 2 parallel bars but joined in the center

Motion also sold ET bars as seen in their catolog

can you tell what color is the original paint on that bar?

[Serbigblock]

Original color is white on the bar. ET really, thanks of the info.

[JoeC]

my ET bars are also white with a red and black Eastern Tool decal

This is a picture of the car that I found in Bay Shore LI. Wish the owner had paperwork with the picture. However I can not wait to fix a couple of things and then run it through the gears.

That car looks So Tuff. Did the owner say Joel did the work or did he buy it that way. Any story ?

[Serbigblock]

The last owner purchased the car over 25 years ago like it is. In the picture you cannot see the GT gas cap on the car. Unfortunately he does not have paperwork with the car. The car was in storage for sometime and with a charger it started right up. Plus it sounds better then it looks.

Here's my NOS Lakewood traction bar for Corvette.
