I think you have to open 2 gates to get this one through!
Pretty neat car thouigh, and that trunk lid is Fiberglass I believe.

I used to see a bunch (couple dozen?) of these beasts sitting at a body shop or wrecking yard off I-35 around Kansas City, MO.
Don't know if they are still there as I haven't been there in over 10 years. Pretty cool to see so many in one place, considering the low production numbers.

I had a neighbor (an older lady who lived on my paper route, 1974-76)) who had one too! I remember thinking it was too much of a boat to be performance oriented but I liked its look.

Here's sweet Linda and the 3 Hurst...note the Hurst Nova is in the background!.

Although no cool Hurst hoods or wings, personally I always wanted one of the '70 Sports Fury GT's...available w/ the Six Pack!.

there is one on craigslist in the northeast Mass area

i believe was asking 9k for it

They actually are good-looking and sharp cars with a nice, under-stated paint scheme. Does anybody happen to know though, what one of these Behemoths weigh? That rear quarter panel is a serious amount of sheetmetal!
