I'll have to sort through the pictures, but I think we might have a photo. I'll post it if I find it.

That benz looked like it was fixing to body roll into a different zip code.

That is in fact what I came here for, too.

Lots of people try to modify their suspension to reduce body roll.  Those people are dead wrong, because that thing was a total blast to drive.

Rumor has it the oil sloshed into a different dimension and the engine started knocking before drags.

I've only seen more pronounced body roll once in my life- and that was the time I watched someone 10/10 a Citroen 2cv. Slowest, yet most puckering run I've ever witnessed.

That second photo looks like it came out of the back of an early 90s Car Craft or Hot Rod

80s.  By the 90s they were doing mostly/all color photos.

Was a CC subscriber 1983-1992.  Got a subscription when I was five as a Christmas present.  My family aren't car people, they just do that sort of thing.
