Re: [AMC-list] Buttonwillow Results+CdL on TV

Sounds like a fun project. One of the guys on theamcforum did a
blow-through turbo on his 199 in an American two door sedan (forget
what year - but it was '66-'69 body style). He posted up a youtube
video, and it seemed like a very quick car. I think your 199 and a
turbo in the '61 would be quick!
