    300-H HURST nerd stuff...

    Sorry , I know these vids have been posted before. I have a feeling you might find more than 500 "300 Hursts" out there, which questions, how many fiberglass hoods and decks in total did Hurst make?

    Thanks for the in depth info Trace and everyone else too. I'm glad there are people who are experts at this. I'm going to continue to tell everyone that the original interior was probably stolen and replaced with this cloth/leather interior....which I love. This cloth is so soft, feels like...

    Gas, EV, Hydrogen, Diesel comeback....Which way are we going?

    Anyone know? I think gas is still king...for now, but I think its nice to have these options. A) In 2019, Elon said Hydrogen vehicles were "stupid". Now its confirmed, Tesla is making a hydrogen car for sale in 2025. Toyota, BMW, Hyundai already have hydrogen cars for sale. B) Toyota has...

    300-H HURST nerd stuff...

    Good luck reading it. It looked like it was never taken out under the seat (cloth and leather seats). Let me know what you think. What the heck does "Imp Set Up" mean, first in ball point, then in marker? What does "38 Special Order" mean? Should I put original back under the seat? Thanks.

    Kudos to you for putting a list together. Yours of course is much better than mine. The seller wasn't sure if it was a real 300Hurst, so for the first 5yrs I had it, I just thought it was a fake and didn't want to put too much money into it.. Nothing special or unusual except the mystery...

    Bought car on Ebay for $1000 in 2001, put 18K into it so far. So not worth much. Maybe I was being too paranoid. So fine, Number is 194407, VON#J99478. I don't know how you want to classify it. Car was abused then abandoned in junkyard before I got it. I've done many subtle changes...

    Why I drive old cars.

    Today's cars are better in almost every way than the 1960-70's. Safer, faster, easier to drive and better on the environment. (No more breathing horrible smog, exhaust, lead (autism, learning disabilities) like every downtown had in the 1970's). Most 1960/70's muscle cars are overrated today...

    Here's mine. (I read its easier to steal/change ownership of a car by knowing the VIN....so yep, I'm paranoid.) I guess I have the earliest Hurst in this thread? (oh boy, did I win anything?...yay for me) Can anyone tell me why the "9" looks so weird? It's a little darker and not lined up.

    Dang!, and I thought my Hurst was bad when I rescued it from a junkyard.

    Uncle Tony is not happy!

    I'm not a fan of turbos, but the twin turbo 6 seems like a powerful engine. At least Dodge is trying. Depends on how they price it if it will be a success. I think the ICE one is a great. I'd buy one if I had the money. However, I don't think they'll sell many electric ones. The nice...

    Wondering if someone can tell me where these 6 way power seats came from? Stamp states FT6, but build sheet has "Imp Special Int" written on build sheet. Build sheet paper is rotted out where interior code is. I bought my car from a NJ junkyard. The door skins were same valor but was like...

    Vid is 6yrs old but I didn't see it in this thread. As Trace said earlier, the wheels are not Hursts and were added later.

    Restoration parts companies rant! Van's & Mr Moparts

    At least they're around. Restoring cars in the 1990's wasn't much fun. Before internet, before cell phones (yeah, some rich pukes had them, but not many). The few aftermarket companies, Hemmings and local papers had very few items. Junk yards didn't know what old cars they had so you had to...

    Uncle Tony is not happy!

    I like the design, however engineering is just another nail in the death of Mopar. Stellantis is having issues with electric vehicles, so last month, Stellantis, Volkswagen and Renault formed an alliance to hopefully lower the prices. Mopar - A very slow, painful death. 1998 - Merged with...
