Nice video Tom. Too bad you never met my dad. As you know he had five different 300 H over the years (maybe more that I didn't know about). I really like the price info you have, wow, $ 8K in 1970. Then $ 2,500 used in 1978. My dads best 300 H was bought off the back row of Dougs Lynnwood Dodge used lot in about 1978, and I think my dad paid about a grand for it, as it had a noisy rr axle bearing. I remember following dad home when he bought it, I was 15 years old, no license yet and driving our 1968 Imperial Shriner convertible.
@tallzag Can you please provide us (us meaning the Hurst Registry) the VON for the Hurst that I **think**you store for a friend of yours? The VIN is 199985, the Door Date is April, and the VON will be J995XX. I would be great to have those two Xs! I'm guessing they will be "27".
Ahhhh.....I see the J99927 on the "Leonard Car" BSheet. I'm under the impression that the Fender Tag is not on the car right now. Just wondering if you have it somewhere. I've had both cars in the Registry for some time, just didn't have that Leonard VON. And now I have the console, clock, cruise, and Suregrip info.
Also, the "Steve Car" shows R37, which is AM/FM Stereo 8 Track which is a step up from the R22 AM 8 Track.
You mentioned the unknown number of console cars. The Registry of 87 cars shows that about 15% of the Hursts were C16 console cars. Obviously, that's not enough of a sample size (and we'll never get them all), but because the data is randomly gathered across the entire production run we can ***-u-me that 15% is a safe guesstimate unless @69CoronetRT schools me again on my assumptions.
