Just another one of those things where people may wonder whether it's correct or not, because it's such a popular add-on.

The sway bar deal; DeLorean didn't like a rear sway bar because he felt it affected ride quality. When he left Pontiac in 1969, Pontiac adopted rear sway bars for their 1970 models. Oldsmobile used a rear sway on all their 442's, and from 1964-1969, they could always out handle a GTO.
I for one would NEVER say mine is nuts and bolts restored...dont even call it restored....its a running resto , done 'my way'...and not even a 400 clone , but a car that "now is a 400 , but was born a 350"....one of MY pet peeves is owners mis representing their cars....
