I havn't seen one quite like that, but did seen one of those with the liquid mercury in it in the trunk of a 67 GTO. It also said roll control, but had a window kinda like a level to see the liquid mercury. I remember thinking what an environmental disaster it would be now if that stuff got loose. You'd never get the EPA clean up bill paid. Be careful. Schonye

There is a real good chance this car came from California as the original ex manifolds were laying in a box and they had AIR in them. The car had air condition so it was not a 425 hp car! I forgot to get the vin or I would know where it was born!

I really don't think that trunk item was part of the GM RPO-BO7 police package.
I just pulled some Ambulance & Police Brochures from 1967-73 & none of them mention it.Just springs & suspension etc.,but no trunk mounted Gyro with mercury.
Here's a link.

Was just guessing after someone mentioned police car

I am just curious as to what a box of Mercury would do to stop your car from flipping over?

I know..me too.
