For Sale Two 300 Hursts,...console/column shift

[Fury Pursuit]

The Hurst cars are one of my favorite C bodies,....here are two,... not at an unreasonable number,...AND he has room to move on the asking price. Worth a look for someone.

I have no realation to seller,...just passing it along.

(2) 1970 Chrysler 300 Hurst

I wonder if those are part of the "chicken coupe" hoard of cars that were for sale a from that part of the country a few years ago? The listing says they don't run, but I wonder if the engines even spin?

If I interpreted correctly... no titles... enjoy.

Good catch!

They aren't rare

I'm with Dave. Low production when new but a high survival rate. As far as C bodys go, there are a lot more "rare" and nicer cars out there. And for a lot less money.

They aren't rare

Rare a somewhat subjective term. It's generally aknowledged that ANY car that was built in 1,000 units or less and survives 25 years is infact, rare, regardless of what it is.

It's apparent you guys (not just Dave) are just tired of looking at them.......maybe the crowd here would feel better if Hurst/Chrysler never made the car, and or you could buy one at Wal-Mart prices.

I used to love the cars and always wanted one. Then I realized they are everywhere, that was 15 years ago. I believe I've seen every bit of 200 of them .
I suppose you are correct in your number assessment but I guess the fact that they are all basically the same car makes them more hum drum than most Cs. They've lost their pizazz to me and I think that's why.

A 50% survival rate is amazing for a 45 year old car.

I was at the "Mopars in the Park" show in Sacramento when the national gathering of 300s was also there. This was over 15 years ago as I still had my '62 New Yorker. There was a very nice 300-Hurst in the show, and another one, in need of a good amount of work, for sale in the "car corral." The owner was standing by it and trying to justify his (by the standards of the time) outrageous asking price of 15 grand. When I said to him I thought his price was rather high he said, "Really? Well, where are you going to find another one? There's not another one of these cars for a thousand miles from here!" I said, "You mean, like that one?" while pointing to the one in the show. He flipped me off; the rest of us walked away laughing.

Now, I do believe they are "rare." But I think they are rare for the same reason most original hemi cars are rare - they didn't sell well. It's not like Chrysler said, "We're only making 502 of these."

 

[polara71]

I understand the rare thing . Being the Polara guy that I am I get it. But.... 500 made and I see ten a year, not so rare.

Maybe Chrysler did say let's only make so many, who knows.

True the term is very subjective.

For me there is:
RARE = Wow!
Rare = Ok
rare = yawn

Being the owner of one I have to say that I have yet to see a nice one for sale. They are all in need of total restos. They are rare, I just think people are bailing out on the basket cases because of the cost. My brother in law bought a rotisserie done hurst 300 from a guy in Ohio. The car is concourse restored. The guy restored it himself inside and out. He said and I quote " I won't do one of these again"

 

[polara71]

Weve seen a few roll through here for sale that were nice. Most of the ones for sale are indeed, rough
