Hey....I think that any of us ol' geezers with a Mid-Year car probably have a little too much money and time in these things, but at least you're honest about your concerns. I've had this car for over 33 years now and pounded on it way back when... just prior to growing-up. I never broke it, though!
Speaking of 4.56s, there's just no way that makes sense on anything other than a race car. I have an old FAA friend that bought a '65 coupe with a 396 brand new. He ordered it with a 4.11. I've ridden in that car more than once and driving it at just 70 or so drives you up a wall. Funny thing is that it was his only car for a while and he agonizes telling the story of driving it back and forth between Houston and Shreveport on weekends for a couple of years with that 4.11. Amazingly, he still owned that thing until four or five years ago. DD
