1968 hurst old drag car found (quick silver)

VERY cool Frank !! Here's a shot of the car when I had at the SCR in '04. It is about 60-70% or so original paint. The sides were lightly "dusted" to get rid of the shadowing of the lettering, etc. in the early 80's.

Rich,

I've got my next crew in the "remember this ?" category commissioned. I sent the pic of "Quick Silver" to them this morning.

Ask and yee shall receive .... (at least some info).

This car used to be raced by Mike Sullivan out of Muskegon, Michigan. He was directly supported with parts from Oldsmobile's big race "gun", by the name of Dale Smith. Dale was essentially "the man" when it came to supporting Olds racing thru Engineering, etc.

As the story goes ..... Mike got into some bad relationships on the East side of Michigan and wound up getting killed. This was around '72-'73. Everything was hush-hush, and the Hurst just kinda disappeared.

Can you fill in any blanks from there Rich ??

YES - I did get the VIN. Still working on that one ......

Hard to make out in the pics but isn't Hemibee's '68 Quicksilver a Hardtop and the one in today's pic a Post car w/ black painted post and door edge? .

Both very cool cars though!!!

HemiBee,
I'm sorry for dragging up such an old post, but have you made progress on the 1968 Hurst/Olds - <span style="font-weight: bold">QUICKSILVER</span>? I have the <span style="font-weight: bold">Rem</span> <span style="font-weight: bold">Ram</span> 1968 Hurst/Olds that was sponsored by Row Motors and Rem Die Casting in Grand Rapids, MI. I think we live near each other. If you still have QUICKSILVER, I would love to see it.

Best wishes,
MickeyD
