I raced several 64 Plymouths in the 60s to 70s with Max Wedge
power. I believe the posts were slightly lighter which help
when you could not adjust to class bottoms.

With the cars tied and caged which I recommend I have seen
no difference in stiffness or longevity. The Hardtop does look a little
more Aero.

When the car were not routinely tied and caged.......I did have
flex problems behind Door sill area of Quarters. The sheetmetal
deflected significantly in that area and truck seams seperated.
I could Jack up the car and not be able to get the door open
