I was at a car show last Sun. and saw a 63 chassis without the body on it . I noticed there were ground straps from the mufflers to their hangers . Was this just a 63 thing or did they have them on all C2's?

Don't know about too many of the other years, but they are on my 64.

There were a number of different ground straps used on all 63-67's. The location and number of them varied by year, and whether the car had under car or side exhaust.

On 63's, ground straps were used on the accelerator lever, antenna base, at the #1 body mount, on both muffler hangers, both exhaust clamps at the cross member and both motor mounts. 64-67's were the same, except they eliminated the 2 on the mufflers, and only grounded one motor mount. Cars with side exhaust only used four, one each on the accelerator, antenna, body mount and motor mount.

Of course, these were only found on cars that had a factory installed radio.

C1s also have ground straps on the exhaust system.
Might just be on radio equipped cars.
