Factory Torsion Bar Diameter for '65 Formula S?
Forum member "grimreaper" posted this data on an old thread. I understand the '65 Barracuda Formula S had stiffer torsion bars than the standard Barracuda. I wonder which bars the Formula S was equipped with? My formula S with the 273 Commando has (had) factory A/C if that makes a difference. Thank you.
