btw, having also just gotten my wagon on the road it is really interesting to feel the difference between the standard suspension on this car and the Y96 suspension that the wagon was ordered with. On the big cars Y96 meant firmer springs and shocks and a 7/8" sway bar in lieu of the standard 3/4" bar. Since both cars are running NOS delco non gas pleasurizers the springs and bar are the difference. Both drive really nice but the Y96 is definitely a more buttoned down feel on corners and at higher speeds.
