A guy in my local paper has this ad:

"H-O racing sway bars for GM, mid-size, 64-72, fits Chevy Chevelle, Olds Cutlass, Lemans, Buick Skylark, etc, 1 3/8 diameter, front & rear, cost over $400, never used, $200"

I have a 65 Chevelle, would this be a good deal? I searched for H-O Racing's website but couldn't locate it.

If its the OLD H-O bar with spherical rod ends and adjusable links-its well worth the money. I haven't seen one in a few years.

Hi - Not sure I'd have to call first. What would your opinion be if they weren't that old style? Not a good deal then?

I can't seem to find any info on them at all.

If it has rod ends for end links-that is a great deal. If not, you can pick up a sway bar for 125-150 just about anywhere.

I would say $200 for both would be a good deal. I had these on my '72 before I went with the Global West design.

Here is the website the name is H-O Enterprises (http://www.hoenterprises.com/WSFF/home.asp?vCompID=27383) now.

H-O Racing (Ken Crocie) was the company who came up with tall spindle concept, but he used the stock upper A-arms in his conversion.

If you use that(3/8) rear sway bar you'll need the front one to.

Hope this helps.
