Re: [AMC-List] Overdrive Options?

["BUS-ENG" <jay@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks, everyone, for the thoughts so
far!

As I did not know that there was an
O/D version of my T-14 ever
available, that may be the approach to 
take with the least drama.

Anyone have a lead on where one could
be found, anywhere in the country.  I 
have cars yet to pick up in NM, CO and
MD, so shipping shouldn't be too bad to 
any of those states, or, of course, to 
Georgia, where I live.

Thanks again,

Jay
