Yep until he hits the gas then its a very fast Lincoln. Mine is all stock hemi suspension bias ply ties at 30 psi and rides like a lincoln also
 
like a lincoln huh?that could be smooth yes but on the highway like an barg floating all ove the place.i had a 74 new yorker with a 440 in it and man was that a boat.lol.
 
Like a modern performance car. Up front poly graphite bushings,1.030" torsion bars, firm feel stage two steering box. Out back, super stock springs, adjustable shocks.Spring leafs are clamped. Frame connectors as well. Car has a stiff ride but is tight to the road. Handles great.
 
i thaught my .990 t bars were big.i just have the rubber in the controle arms and ss 3800# in back with rubber bushings also,rancho 9000 shocks in back and ce 3 way front.
 
Suspension is 100% stock & 90% original.... drives staight & smooth. Love it.

I don't remember the spring rate .I bought the bars from PST.
 
mlne depends on the road. good road rides better naturally. most of the time it rides stiff since we added some missing leaves. didn't want to use air shocks for the big tires so we used an extra full leave on each side.pretty much like a 40+ year old musclecar...but hasn't kept me from driving it.
 
P235 70 R 15 and P225 70 R 15 tires, gas shocks and all new hemi/RT suspension out back = very smooth and comfortable ride. Steers very well too. :thumbsup: :banana:
 
yeah it only had 4 leaves iiRC on each side. a buddy had done the same thing to his '70 Coronet and I really liked the stance. A little stiff. but it's OK for who it's for...
 
A little rough over bumps with 90/10 shocks up front. But the bench seat springs help adsorb it. No sway bars front or rear don't Go around corners fast especially with 15lbs of air in the rear tires.
