solid bushings all ?? Yes

rear locator bar used ?? fixed or floating ??... Panhard bar ? ... stock... dead on.

why was ballast bolted on rear crossmember frowned upon ??... The weight ended up being below the height of the centre of gravity of the car. Actually unloaded the tires when the rear dropped down.

spare tire & related fixtures used in trunk ??... nothing. but a battery.

rear bumper original ??... completely.

rear seat in place / factory ??... removed for roll bar installation. Steel sheet fit in place, carpeted.

front bench seat / factory ??... bone stock ( needs recovering ! ), positioned one notch up from furthest back.


what class does the wagon fit with the 409 4 speed ??? THAT would be a HOOT !!!!...
well, in 63, the engine I believe is rated at 410 HP ( higher lift cam profile ).
Lightest that car could be, is about 4050 pounds. So I guess E Stock.
