For Sale 1970 300 Hurst Convertible 1 of 1 original $150,000 E-Bay

[BIGBARNEYCARS]

My last information on the Hemi car iz 20 yearz old so I can't really answer your question with current facts. I'm sure it'z out there somewhere but the last I knew waz that the dentist in Oklahoma waz wining very loudly because he got spanked when he tried to sell it and badly misrepresented it. For all I know it's Lawn Art somewhere it Tulsa az we speak? We (the Club) also knew that when Steve sold it to him all Steve's cardz were on the table, nothing expressed or implied. FYI, Steve waz a member of the 300 Club int.inc. at the time he sold that car, Jer

Now that the orig is out and been made public, I wonder how long before the clone will be up for sale? Hmmm, black / gold conv.

Maby it ain't starting that's why the plugs out to see if it's got a spark .

Why else check for spark? Its my only reason to do it. Hence my post.

If this thing sells for 150k, would it create enough of a market to repro the hood and trunk?

Its getting the exposure,

Arch angel black, Hemi, Conv bwahaha!

That car is in Tulsa, last I heard. There have been rumors of that car in Oklahoma for many years. In 1993, I went to Tulsa to look at a '68 Polara 383 4-speed car with air (silver with light blue interior). The owner of that car showed me an old Polaroid of that so-called "clone" - is it a "clone" if it had a dealer-installed Hemi, and that there was never a Hemi-powered 300-H factory-built??? The car was in very nice condition in that picture, and fits the description that others have provided since.

Looks like the manifold heater hose is off too.
I like the shifter, was that on all Hursts?
I'd love to see the clone with the Hemi.

Enough of the Hemi 300 Hurst nonsense.
It doesn't even qualify for an asterisk in the record books.

 

[MrMoparCHP]

I would not call the Hemi car a clone if it is an original 300-Hurst car, it is still a genuine 300-Hurst car.

The fact that a dealer swapped the engine doesn't change anything, I would want documentation of that and restore the car that way! Without the documentation there is no proof that you didn't do it yourself recently.

Heck, even if it was a day two owner mod with documentation I'd restore it that way.

Of the 485+1 produced I think the general consensus in the 300 Club iz that around 15% were console shift carz and the rest were on the column but no recordz were kept to verify or dispute that. I'm not sure on the number of console shift carz remaining today but the total number of Hurst's remaining iz about 25% or approximately 140. Az for the hemi transplant. A dealer installed engine swap iz ah clone plan and simple. On another Hemi note and ah little weird, I've got ah car-bud in Pittsburgh that did ah Hemi top end conversion on the 440 that came in that perticular Hurst. 'Bout 5K to do it and he said it waz ah waste of $ and the improvement didn't even change much from the 440 in stock TNT form. That car waz in the car coral at Carlisle several yearz back and it seams like I heard that it made it to Europe ah few yearz ago, Jer

I remember that car.....sweet car

 

[65Fury440]

So about that shifter? Was it a one off?

I agree with Alan.

I have known of the "Hemi-Hurst 300" for about 30 years. To call it a "clone" is incorrect. It's a 1970 300 convertible with dealer added A12 package hood/decklid and caps. The T-code engine was pulled at a Chreysler/Dodge/Plymouth Dealership and a 70 426 Hemi engine was installed by the dealer and the A12 Hurst hood/decklid/caps were installed and the car painted. All done apparently at the dealership.

The Hurst/Hemi 300 car is not what the automotive world defines as a clone. It wasn't built in Bubbas garage or built by Chip Foose in 1995 from custom or original parts; that's a clone.

It was built using factory parts by an authorized dealership. That what it is. A dealer built/optioned car. Nothing more and nothing less.

I have decent photos of it, but no copies of paperwork yet, which I would really like to see.

It sold at auction in 2001(? cant' remember) for $25K, which I thought was well bought.

I remember seeing it for the first time back in 1987(1988?) in the second issue of "Mopar Muscle" magazine.

It's an early issue. I've got it in my humble archive.

 

[barnfind]

It sounds like a great dealer built one of none car. Love to see pics of it. I can appreciate that both cars exist!

 

[MrMoparCHP]

I do recall it in the Mopar Muscle magazine but don't recall it being a standard 300 and not a 300-Hurst, still it was don by a dealer back in the day "when new".
Still I'd restore it as it left the dealer.

This is no different than the Yenkos, Shelby's etc (although some were Factory collaborations).

So if your grandfather wanted different tires/wheels and trim added to a car when it was purchased new it would be wrong to restore the car with these items?

There are goofs and irregularities from within the production that go against what could have been ordered yet they exist, do we disallow those? (better have before pictures and/or documentation if restoring it that way).
