Default Re: 1968 hurst old drag car found (quick silver)

Wow. I've heard of this car, but don't know a lot about it. Casey may as he has a lot of old memorabilia stuff from back then as his Uncle Jack was active with a lot of these gyus.

There's a lot of old race cars tucked away all over this area that surface every now and then. One of my old bosses at Ford Engineering, Don McElroy, still has two of his in a pole barn in Fenton. Been there for 25 years. Friend of Bob Karkashian and Mike Dellahanty and drove NHRA Stock Eliminator cars for Jac McCormack for years.Both are Mopars, I think. One for sure. His 318 Duster (M Stock?) ran in the 10's.

I think the car is definitely worth more as a race car, but I would contact the Hurst Olds Club of America (Rusty Small can help here) as they have a Hurst Registry and I think know the VINS of every real one. If it is in fact a real one (and I'll bet it is), it's worth a fortune anyway you cut. There are a few other 68 Hurst Race cars going back together right now. The Chesrown Olds (Ron Garey) car is in Southern Ohio, and the Rem Ram Olds is somewhere in Western Michigan also.
