Very nice! Welcome to the group. Like the stance. Are they traction bars tucked under the rear?

Nice looking car, congrats on the purchase.
Can't remember the last time I saw a set of Kelly Chargers. It'd be a good idea to check the date codes on those puppies.

You have a super fine looking Stang Skit bag.
The traction bars are "Universal" fit Lakewoods. The issue with them is they simply bolt to the leaf spring with only a flimsy front and rear Ubolt, offers very little/no rigidity and strength. If you like the look and benefits of a true traction/slapper bar (which bolts to the axle housing spring perch with a heavy steel plate vs just Ubolted to the leaf spring) PLEASE consider swapping those show bars out for a much safer more effective traction bar.
Here's just one traction option (of several options):
