Thanks for the info. How do I go about identifying the F41 suspension? I plan to put as much as possible back to OEM. Right now that is the air cleaner, the 396 emblems, the radio, the wheels and the hub caps.

Rear sway bar?

We sell the 396 emblem at classic industries P#3867312 25.00 a pc I think you should keep the replacing stuff to a minimum. Present these cars for what they are. I think if you are honest in representing the vehicles you may find that they will move out a bit quicker. Have you managed to off load any yet?

I'd keep the rally's as stated above, maybe replace the 427 emblems with 396 ones, give it a decent cleaning and put her up for sale as-is. Let someone else do the minor parts replacements as a labor of love and move on to the next car. Just my opinion.

TAZ got it. If you look under the rear axle, the F41 would have a sway bar connecting to 2 lower control arms. The front sway bar would also be like 15/16&quot; or 1&quot;. I believe the option also impacted the shocks. I don't remember off the top of my head... not enough hair to hold it in. I'll take a look when I get home.

Gary, I checked on the F41 components and the option does also change shocks and springs. If you have the rear sway bar on the car and want more details, let me know.
