Thanks for posting those! Hopefully more and more people that have or know of these cars will post!

The red Satellite in the press release photo is the pic that I mentioned in the earlier post! I would love to know if it is still around, and how it was optioned! I would guess it is a 318 car since it did not have the CID callouts above the side marker. But could you get a sway bar package on a 318 car?

N97 was typically coded on delivered to California cars. I do not recall ever seeing a 383 car with N97 and N42 tips...so I'm fairly certain it dictated turn down exhaust. On 440+6 (and 440 4bbl I think) it added resonators when you had the N42 option.

Yes. From what I understand, N97 was turn down exhaust with no tips. Therefore the car would be a little more quiet without the tips pointing straight out the back.
