Hi Gang, anyone recognize these?

They were included in a recent 1967 Camaro parts lot buy and the owner's heirs swear they came off the car when it was wrecked in 1975...

Anyone seen this type before, know the manufacturer or other info?

Or can you confirm these will fit a 67 and or other years / models?

I don't see any markings on them.

Thanks in advance all,
Anthony

Those are definitely not a Camaro or GM factory part. The 67 bar was round and only 1 was installed on the right side of the rear axle in a special bracket. And while they came off the car in 1975, they were typically speed shop day 2 parts. Those are junk.
Summit sells new ones for $53.00.

Hah, thanks! I should've prefaced my questions with the fact that I realized that they were not GM factory pieces and obviously aftermarket. And certainly not the assembly line one sided factory traction bar for '67.

I appreciate you posting, thanks again.

No worries, and I forgot there was a square style as well.

I don't see anything in his description that indicates he believes these are "factory" parts.

He is merely asking if anyone recognizes them from the past. There are many people on this forum building period correct, day 2 cars, that may well see these as a cool addition to their car. The unique shape of the main bar and rectangle snubber are different than other bars of that era and make them much stronger than the "junk", Chinese crap Summit has for $53.
