3 point Lakewood roll bar value?

[whitetop]

A guy is restoring this old 396 Camaro from my hometown and he threw out the old 3 point bar just last year. Car is going back to stock-paint is alreadys tripped off I believe. That is the factory original OEM GM Lemans blue-never repainted. Car was made into a 100% drag car since 1970 and sat in a garage near me since 1980. 20k original miles-never out in winter except maybe first year.. Made me sick is getting restored-I remember the car when i was a young kid in the 70's at shows.

Amazing some people just don't care and some would give their eye teeth for it.

What a shame, that car should have been preserved. Also, imagine seeing a rollbar out on the curb with the trash? I don’t think I could pull over fast enough

I know people who begged for that car and was going to keep it the same and preserve it as a survivor. Someone else came in and got it. I saw it stripped down in the new owners garage and almost became sick to my stomach. Hey, it's his car though.

I walked by this car almost every day walking to school in the mid 70's as the owner kept it in a bay in his gas station or had it outside when he needed a bay

Mine had one of those roll bars in it back when it was built, but it was gone by the time I got it.
