I have a straight Monte Carlo bar on my '66.
I consider it one of the best cheap mods to any classic Mustang.
Definitely worth the money!

Even the curved chrome ones are cheap, usually under 50 bucks. Ive seen some on laurelmountainmustang.com that is a combination of a monte carlo bar and an export brace with stiffner bar, chrome, all as one piece for 100

well worth it, it helps hold the shock towers in the correct position while turning hard

It helps alot. You will notice the car does flex going through curves. It's a very good cheap add-on.

How did you "see" this combo bar? laurelmountainmustang.com doesn't show pics of any parts they sell. Can you post a link?
