HO equipped?

This one I saw today had Hurst Equipped on the trunk. I thought it was Hurst/Olds, but my son just corrected me.
What year did Hurst begin?...just read up 1958

I thought you were asking about the 383/4spd combo. I don't know if Hurst teamed up with Mopar. The placard you saw could be gotten at any speed shop back then for people who put one of their shifters in a car.

Somebody probably just put a Hurst shifter in it and added the "Hurst-equipped" emblem on their own. AFAIK, Hurst had no relationship with Dodge in 1965 (although they apparently have one now -- Google Hurst Dodge and you come up with several entries for a Hurst Challenger). At any rate, even if such a relationship had existed, the resulting vehicle would not have used "HO" emblems as that would have designated a Hurst OLDS.
As any Pontiac aficionado will tell you HO means "High Output". I don't believe it means anything to Mopar guys.

It sounds like the question has been answered for the 1965. But in 1970 Hurst did team up with Chrysler for a limited production car. Do a google search for "Hurst 300" and you'll find a white and gold air craft carrier sized car based on their full sized model of that year.
Many years ago before I got bit by the Oldsmobile bug there was one of these in a used car lot that I drooled over for a while. Back when gas was cheap....

I remember. Spinnaker White and Firefrost Gold (same as '69 H/O, I think) with Mopar Rallye wheels, a "TNT" 440 under a big hood bulge and a giant deli-slicer spoiler out back.
I don't know if it was big enough to be an aircraft carrier, but you could probably land a helicopter on the hood!
