Fairly rare car. Early days of turbocharging and some didn't keep their turbos when problems came up. They had an aluminum 215 V-8.

Not sure if there is a website for them or not.

A friend of mine back when I was younger had a 63 Cutlass he was re-doing when I last talked to him when we were 18, back around 89-90
