No, I didn't have the R&P at the time. It was only the biggest bumps
that caused a jar that I felt in the floor, but there were lots of them 
in Biloxi! Worst roads I'd ever had to drive on continuously. We got
rid of our 93 Cherokee because of those roads -- ride was just to rough 
for the wife, and I preffered the Rambler over the Chero! I think she
did too, another reason she wanted a better riding car -- mine was the
best!

70 Hornet shipping weight (2 door sedan, six) is 2677, 63 Classic 550
wagon is 2893. Assuming the shipping weights are somewhat similar
there's a tad over 200 # difference, so you should be about right.
