Good luck!
I talked to Tin Man (who is now closed as far as I know)
He had 2 but didnt want to sell them.
I ended up buying a new one from That Parts Place
It is a nice piece BUT it does not have the short flat spot under the pumpkin.
I'd say $100 for the one in the Kijiji ad is a good deal. I've bought a few reproduction ones (which seemed fine to me), but I don't recall what I paid for them.

Agree, great price. If I had a way to get it here without cost it would be on my car already!

An original factory rear sway bar is easily worth $150 USD all day long ( and I have paid more ) . Also used on GM B body with the spacer kit . Like Carl mentioned , if it were closer I'd own it already .

Can the front one in the ad also be used on a '64 B body?

No, they discontinued it a few years ago.

To the question will the front bar fit?
I doubt it BUT Not positive
You can buy a new rear bar at The Parts Place
in Chicago area
from what I researched, I was lead to understand that the
rear bar is still made at the same place in Detroit that made them for GM
until they discontinued the part.
Also the early factory rear bars had a short flat spot under the pumpkin.
The later bars did not.
Im not sure why...
The Parts Place even uses the GM part number if my memory serves me correct
Hope this helps

I seen the seller last night at the funeral home for his Grandmother. He said both the front and back bar sold quick
