The Montclair's vital statistics were still moving in the handwritten draft — weight *3,700* → print "3,900 pounds, give or take"…

This is a revision: the same material was reworked in substance between draft and print.

In the handwritten draft. The handwritten draft pages (the opening leaf, culturemap capture): This [struck token] weighs 3,700 pounds, give or take (image-derived, high confidence — digits beat cursive at this resolution; the hundreds digit is a clean flat-topped 7, a 9's closed bowl excluded); and has a maximum flat-out speed of [struck figure, unreadable — no candidate picked] ^85 miles an hour (the interline "85" clear); "1956 Mercury Montclair" braced in beside You've looked at it before. Now… now see it; the bit-lip-red sentence present as an interline insertion (I described the [struck] shade to the dealer as bit-lip red).

In the published book. Scene 49 (pp. 157–158)

Evidence. A single source reports this. Documented by "maximum flat-out road-speed of 95 m.p.h. per" = 1 (scene-49 raw).

Further notes. The speed figure moved at least twice ([struck] → 85 on the leaf → "95" in print) and the weight climbed 200 pounds — the monologue's obsessive specificity was tuned numerically across states. Print's fuller phrasings ("of the paint job of this Montclair… when I first saw it"; "road-speed… per"; "a canted windshield and aerodynamic fins" where the leaf has a margin insertion ending windshield and fins) all read as post-draft expansion, but word-grain claims beyond the two figures are NOT asserted. The struck token before "weighs" (and the struck token after "This is where we keep") are unreadable — candidates including an earlier car identification are held, prime hi-res targets.
