If you are talking about the rear sway bar it helps handling. If it is completely removed the car is still driveable, it just won't handle as well.

The previous thread is correct.

Even if someone removed it you can still drive the car safely. It was optional depending on the suspension package your car came with. My 77 does not have it but my 80 does. No big deal. Drive it and enjoy!

Factory rear sway bars were optional and usually included with big block cars or small blocks with FE7 or the gymkhana package.
