Heck of a difference compared with the other A bodies I had. One thing I find amazing is its composure over speed bumps, better than some of my modern cars even. The 2nd gen F bodies were fun to drive, no question but they had the sway bars & discs stock along with the taller spindles. Only time I had any rattles or squeaks due to the hinge in the middle was in real cold weather. I want another someday. The 1st gen F body was a vert, that was a good handling car but did not have the benefit of the later refinements of the 2nd gen, I want another 1st gen too...hmm sensing a theme here.
I've decide I want another set of B bodies too. Owned 62, 69 & 79 Bonnevilles. On the other hand, I want to stay married. Rats..
