Never could quite understand why they would make the 3.23 open rear the "standard" axle. I know it was a way to aqueeze some more money out of the buyer, but many actually wound up being delivered in this fashion. Having driven my share of so eqiuipped cars, its a laughable slip fest-even on bone stockers. All I can think of is how the hell did people drive these cars in snow, or even rain, for that matter back in the old days?.

Long about 10-15 years ago i looked at a '69 HEMI RR, it was and automatic with 8 3/4 rear. It was also a 323 open rear!!!! Can you imagine a HEMI with open rear??? I called the guy all the next day to buy it, never got a hold of him when cell phones didn't work so well in buildings. So i go over with cash in hand and someone i know just bought it 5 minutes before i got there!!! That was my LAST chance to own a real HEMI car at a great price(no motor or trans). I'll always kick myself in the rear til the end of my time for that move!!!
