Check these out. Vintage Chevelle lower traction bars. They are NOS. Anyone seen anything like these ever? I haven't!

Those blue A-body traction bars are something I can remember seeing in the Eighties at a local speed shop. I'm pretty certain that they were manufactured by a company named MAS.

The guy I got these from couldn't remember the brand name but said he purchased them in the mid 70's and never used them. He ended up using a ladder bar setup instead.

You're right on that account. I have a number of old Racing Unlimited (long defunct, and they sold &quot;MAS Roadster&quot; axles and such) catalogs and I just looked at one. There's a picture of those listed as &quot;4010 Chevelle, Tempest, Olds, etc&quot; and described as &quot; The ultimate for coil/spring control. Features soild bushed control arms that replace the stock arm. Easy to install. Effective preload towers---So much adjustment you can raise the car 6&quot; just by tightening the U bolts. Can be run with or without U bolts intact. Fits all Buick special, Chevelle, GTO, Tempest, Olds 442, and F85&quot;

68.00$

Very cool. Would like to see underside and a picture of an advertisement for them if anyone has one. What are your plans for them?

You get 1 guess for what Matt does with the old speed equipment he posts up here.

Here are two more sets. I believe the yellow set is Lakewoods and they are NOS.

The orange set look like they could be NMW by the color or they could be very early Mr. Gaskets since they were painted orange as well.

The yellow bars are for 70-81 Camaro.

I believe the orange ones are Lakewoods. Someone could have blasted them and painted them orange. Never seen NMW's in that style..also the spring perch pads are identical to Lakewoods.
