Thanks for your help....I am starting from the ground up (literally) with new tires this spring. Though a source of debate on this list , I am about ninety percent sure I want the replacement tires to be bias-belted. Then I will then replace the front shocks ,then the rear shocks and springs. Hopefully that will get me a ride and handling that I am a bit more familiar with.

If the '60 is acting like it should, the car should track well, and take corners every bit as well as the '67. The '67 is a much different car. It should feel a bit tighter, and more silent. The cars did evolve in a positive way over the years, but they all were good. > > Paul > >
