You C-Bod folks might recall that I posted my Hurst Registry spreadsheet in the “Nerd” and “NOT MINE” threads in the April 2024 timeframe, but decided to remove it, polish it, add to it, and most importantly figure a way to make it a standalone document that can be added to as we find more CM23xx/J99xx Hursts in the years ahead.
I talked with @Joeychgo and @Toolmanmike about a “living document” that other members could access, add to, download, etc. They immediately said “No Way!” because such a thing inserted into a forum is a magnet for bugs, hacks and other terrible diseases. Of course they’re absolutely right. They helpfully gave me some suggestions and this post is the result.
I also spoke with @ayilar about this because he’s concerned with preserving the compiled information well into the future, should this forum cease to exist for whatever reason, or that I cease to exist (for whatever reason!). So here is how this thread will work, but first let me explain what the Registry is about.
I got the idea for doing this when the Nerd/NOT MINE threads were discussing the scrambled time gaps for VINs, VONs, and Door Sticker dates. To see if there was an understandable pattern to these gaps, I developed this Registry so we can see the numbers. I included a column to mention some specifics (Console, Cruise, junker, etc.) so--as a group--we can hopefully track these cars into the future. I did try to find some existing Hurst listing like the 300 Club…nothing. Several of you contributed valuable information to this list, so thank you.
In this Post #1, you’ll see the Registry date of July 4, 2024. When I get new information, either via this thread or by a PM is someone wishes to remain anonymous, I’ll update the spreadsheet and put in a NEW post, leaving all prior spreadsheets unchanged in this thread. That might mean that the next Registry update might be in September and be Post # 34 after we get comments on this post. When I get good solid info from one of you I’ll be happy to update ASAP. Another reason I'm doing it this way (new postings of the document vs editing Post #1), is that over time the Edit function no longer works.
Some of you were concerned I would be the only owner of the spreadsheet. If anyone wants a copy of the original spreadsheet send me a PM with your email and I’ll send it to you. But I won’t be sending updates….you’re on your own in that regard.
So, if you have info to add to this Hurst Registry, let’s see it. Several of you had good insight into the reason for the “gaps” (much of which has already been kicked around in Nerds and NOT MINE) and I invite you to repeat it here for posterity. Comments and suggestions are quite welcome, but I don't intend to expand this file with links to relevant webpages or photos, etc. Generally, it is what it is.....a list based on VINs.
I'm still working to find the best method to convert an Excel file into a clear image file, like the PNG image you see below, and @ayilar is helping me with this. It's legible enough for now and better than a screenshot. Let's give it a try!

about data integrity. That certainly gives the forum some reliable redundancy.
