Code 621 was the Ride & Handeling Package. list for under $10.00 so it wasn't much.
I think it was just stiffer shocks & springs.
Marshmallows were code 010 and gave a much softer ride

I have this option on my car & the only thing I know for sure is that the shocks are different. I've also heard (but never measured) that the sway bar is slightly larger.

My 67 GTO has Ride and handling and it also has boxed upper control arms (rear) . I was thinking it was that and shocks?

My '67 also has the boxed upper control arms in the rear. Everyone tells me they are not from the factory that way...hmmm. Is yours stick shift?

Apologies to the original poster if I am hijacking this thread.
