Schony,
Was it that Silverglaze/Red '67 GTO?
Theres no way a 2 ft. long antiroll/stabilizer box with a 5 lb ball rolling slowly from one side to another is going to help a 3700 pound GTO.
Also mounted around the grill area of that GTO,there was something funky, maybe for deer?

Wonder what the caution sticker is behind it ? Strange looking piece of equipment...

My old 69 Impala convert had the same "Caution" sticker on it....before I redid the trunk. Must have come from the factory. It was just a warning to not store anything up on that trunk floor above the rear axle or the top could be damaged when it was lowered. Most likely damage would be breaking the glass rear window

Don't ask me to explain how, but I think the weight on that anti-roll device goes the opposite way that you might think it would go when cornering. i.e., if you're making a hard right, the weight also goes to the right. I would not be at all surprised to discover that these were sold by JC Whitney or Warshawsky's or something similar

Astock, I am only telling you what I saw. I read the ad in the paper for a GTO. Went and looked at it. Was amazed as the guy remembered me from when I was in a band. The goat was gold. Had been hit in the rt rear qtr, had some rust damage, and the motor had issues. He opened the trunk and there was this device. I asked him what it was, and that was the explaination I got. I figured it was something out of JC Whitney.

It's a flux capacitor.

If it can produce 2.21 jiggawatts we can go back in time and thwart Manson's plans.
