The original rear seat assembly weighs 85 pounds so that is one big serious way to reduce weight by eliminating the assembly.

Room wise, it's better then a Porsche back seat back there but not by much. I had someone back there in 1972, but they were pretty stressed out when they came out of there, plus the rear spring engineer in these cars apparently was some sort of slacker. Maybe it was so bad in the back seat they couldn't actually get living humans to test it?

If you glue it down, you loose the access to the secret storage compartment underneath.
.   Well back in the day we used to go cruising with two of my high jump teammates in the back seat,one was 6’3”, the other was 6’5”,so it’s “functional “.Of course “comfortable “is a completely different concept.... 8)

Putting someone in the back seat, depending on who is driving, it could cause irreversible brain damage. Also the rear would be riding on the bump stops.

Earl, the 65 panel didn't automatically come with the shock plug holes drilled. That was for the R models. You could drill them out here and plug them also. Once the rear shocks are set, you don't need to adjust them again.
