    Monte Carlo Bar

    Sorry if this has been asked and answered before, but I couldn't find it via the Search function.

    Will the MONTE CARLO BAR CURVED BLACK 1965-1966 from CJ Pony Parts $22 - http://www.cjponyparts.com/monte-carlo-bar-curved-black-1965-1966/p/MCB2/ work on my 64 Sprint or is there a specific Falcon one (FalconParts.com http://www.falconparts.com/ford-falc...-8-18p1084.htm) that costs $38 more that I have to use?

    Thanks.

    Those are both the same, but the price. I have a straight one and it fits and works fine...jh

    Are we sure the Mustang part and the Falcon part are the same? I think the Mustang width - apron to apron - is a little wider. Not 100% sure, but I know the drag-link is wider on a Mustang compared to Falcon. I'll have to call my friend Bill, with the 65 Mustang, and have take a measurement.

    That sure didn't seem very definative to me. Maybe I missed something or didn't understand? I read that thread as conflicting info depending on who was answering. Is the conclusion: You pays yer money and takes yer chances?

    There was a guy, about 3 from the bottom, who owns both a Falcon and a Mustang. I assumed because (I was told) the width of the frame rails is wider on a Mustang that it was also wider up-top. But this guy confirmed (because he had both) just the opposite - that the Falcon was wider. Then the last guy in the last post indicated this was because the Falcon aprons were taller. I think that's true because I used a 64-66 Mustang apron patch for the battery tray to mount the battery width-wise in the Flarechero.

    Where everything is at between the shock towers, or where the belly bar would mount, nobody knew for sure. Nor do I.
