Re: [Amc-list] 24 Hours of LeMons!

Surely Joe Fulton can find you one!!!
A nice somewhat rusty 4dr American, hornet or Concord should do well.
I'd guess a 72 up Hornet would do best with the torqueflight being the main reason as you can sneal a BIG honkin trans cooler in there!
  An old A/C condensor may be just the ticket for an endurance car?
