1968 barracuda antisway bar
If this a distraction to your thread, we can start a new one. :) I do think you will be happy with the larger than stock front sway bar.
At the end of the video - that is the image that was in the original article on your club's website. The fastback is in the top left corner. Maybe the person who created the article still is in the club?
In the video around 2:14, one of the fastbacks can be seen - it has a 1968 hood. There was another fastback. I forget the details, but one or both recieved a 1969 update. Someone had a nice thread on moparts with lots of photos - also now gone. :(
My recollection is that there were five cars employed by Chrysler France.
1968 Barracuda, 383 cid v-8,
1969 Barracuda, 383 cid v-8,
1970 'Cuda (Hemi-Cuda), 426 cid v-8,
1970 or 71 'Cuda, 440 cid v-8,
1970 'Cuda, 305 cid v-8 - later changed (former Trans-am race car)
Here is a photo of the '69 383 car from wikipedia (fr). Maybe taken before Chrysler France support:
Some more of the missing photos here :)

Maybe you have to translate for us? :) Again, maybe in a new thread - although it is suspension related. :)
This photo was a favorite with both fastbacks on a paved track. Your new sway will reduce the roll more than the originals that were mandated by the rules for the catagory these cars were racing in.
With additional roll resistance in the front, the car is less likely to oversteer (the back sliding out as the lead car is doing). More likely to have the front wheels slide first - we call it understeer and it is generally safer.
