Corvair nerd here. For '64 Chevy added an anti-roll/sway bar up front and a transverse leaf spring to the swing-axle at the rear which in combination made the handling waaay closer to neutral. Full IRS (non swing-axle) was standard from '65 on.

If she wants to set up a payment system I might not be averse...
