Thanks,

I will take pics of the complete one that I have. It has removable plates but the bar also has slip joint with a through bolt at the end of each hoop. Also the rear bar or strut also has a slip joint with a through bolt. I was told all the bar were made the same and they just modified the attachments?

I will also get some measurements to compare. Yours is shorter from the crossbar to the drivers side mtg plate.

I am starting to think mine is not from a Camaro. One is shorter than the other.
Thanks again.

I think they are all the same except the feet. My bar came out of an old camaro race car that was being put back to stock and I lucked out because mine doesn't have the removable feet and has a factory padding applied. I think my bar was called the "Loop" in the Lakewood catalog from 1971. If you need measurements I can PM you my number and get whatever you need to put this back in a camaro. Mark

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.

Tommy,

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

BTW, I have 3 Lakewood bars. Not sure what mounting feet I have but would be interested in some 68-72 Chevelle A-body feet if anyone has them.

Caleb Arone's DY Bryne Bros COPO has a nice 3 point bar if your looking for pics.

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.

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.
