I don't care if Jesus owned it.

It is now a 500 dollar piece of crap.

Whaaat no dual gate I think Mr Hurst would have a Hurst in anything he owned

Olds64

Wow!

That is pretty steep! I think you could fit a small dog into the trunk through the rust holes in the fenders!

That car has raised a lot of eyebrows over on 73-77olds.com .

I can buy it being a 350 car originally delivered in CA, and D/G were optional in the 1974 350 cars, but I'm having a little trouble with the paperwork and provenance. Seems like if it were the George Hurst, it would have been titled to Hurst Performance and no bank lien.

As they said in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Run away! Run away!

I was under the impression that George owned only one Hurst example and it was the 69.

It was stated as being his favorite year.

joe_padavano

Well, considering that he also owned the original 68 H/O (the only one with a 4spd), I would say that your impression is not correct.

Who says it wasn't owned my some guy named George Hurst but not THE "George Hurst"

Nilsson

I am now under the impression he only owned a 68 and 69. My impression is subject to change as other factuals come forth.

Offhand, I'd say it was THE George Hurst:

Does seem odd that George Hurst would need a bank loan to purchase a Hurst/Olds. Unfortunately for the car's shape, George Hurst provenance isn't going to bring much lustre to it.

If you have a deep Hurst collection wouldn't you have to have this car?

ROFL!

Nothing a little bondo and armor all couldn't fix.

joe_padavano

Keep in mind that by 1974, George had been ousted from Hurst Performance. Sunbeam Corp bought Campbell's share of what originally was Hurst Campbell, and by 74 they had driven George from the company.

I'm thinking a Schnauzer or Corgi would fit.

I looked up fender flapper in Webster's dictionary and saw a picture of that car.

Was the first '68 owner by George Hurst or Doc Watson? I thought the latter, but have only a vague recollection of the story.

I guess I'm behind the times. I just noticed this on ebay today and posted it on another site.
It is soooo sad. If it's a "1 of 1", why let it sit ouside for so long and take parts off of it?

1969w3155

"PROCASTINATE NOW !!!" I'll wait until tomorrow to do that. The car is too far gone as far as I'm concerned.

Bluevista

What a bunch of chickenhearts, I thought you guys were Olds lovers?
The car isn't that bad, the price is the problem.
Maybe I'm too used to rust but that nothing around these parts for any car that old that's been sitting outside, the vinyl top caused the worse damage, otherwise it really doesn't look that rusty. It's a cool and rare car and really deserves to be restored, may need a donor car and a few bucks but anything's possible.
It looks more like the missing parts were stolen going by what's still on the car.
I would of grabbed the power windows and locks, tilt column, shifter, seats, stereo, all kinds of good evilbayable stuff is still there? The steering column has been disconnected from the dash and is just hanging, probably couldn't get it disconnected from the box.

GoodOldsGuyDougie

well after a $25,000+ Restoration Job,, It could be worth as much as $20,000.

Good Luck with that!

Coltonis

My favorite part is if you check out the questions on that auction almost every single one of them are:

"What about that 66 in the background. Is that for sale?"

Come on people FOCUS!
One of kind... err... collector... umm... shell.

Steve Curry

Didn't the Demmer's own the 4 speed car.

Atdog

It;s been re-listed with a lower buy-it-now price....
Still too high in my opinion.....
