Fouronado

 

 

 

Fouronado?

It's a 442 built by Hurst for Hurst that utilized a front wheel drive and transmission from a Toronado. It was at the last MCACN in Chicago. There is a writeup on it in the last 2 months of Hemmings Muslecars.

 

 

I've seen the Fournado before. Always wondered why they didn't chop out the trans/drive tunnel and make it a flat floor like the Toro. Still an uber cool car and engineering nightmare according the the writeups I've seen on how it was built.

 

 

 

Hey Jim, that last one looks familiar! Was that W-31 the one Stefano had for sale? Probably should've bought that one. It was a "tweener"; too nice to restore, too scaley not to restore. Kinda in between.

 

I was all set to go for the that same car Dave when it sold. It is a lot like my Rallye TO nice to mess with but not as nice as I would like it .

 

I believe it was.

 

Firefrost-tell us/me more about your Rallye. I'm still "trolling" for one; the right one for me, not just any one. And, that last pic looks like Ed Pienta's car.

 

 

Anyone remember the story behind this pic? Something about all but one T/A Convert that was built being in this pic or something.

 

Weren't there only 7 built? Perhaps they were unable to get the seventh one to the show? The one on the left is different as it has a white interior and dash.

 

8 made & 7 in attendance if I recall correctly.

 

I believe that was an uncompleted car.

 

The floor of the "Fouranado" is flat, check Hemmings Muscle #130 June '14. Pretty slick! thanks for these awesome pictures!!

 

I've always loved the louvered hood on the 70's cars. When were they available? '73-'75?

 

Ran into this at Route 66 Raceway last summer. 59 I think.

 

nice picture bubba

 

 

Love this car.

 

Yup a beautiful example of an 1959 88 Scenicoupe

 

6 of the 8 built were in attendance - one NO longer exists and a 4-spd car (w/white interior) didn't participate. 4 are in "the brothers' COLLECTION".

 

I know it's not Olds, but it sure is a good pic.

 

A LeMans Blue L88, sweet.

 

I think it's a convert with a lift off hardtop.

 

This one's mine.

 

Well, the fender vents and tailpipes say '70-72, and by the hood, either a 454, or an LT1. I'm jealous. Looks nice.

 

Yep. LT1, 1971.

 

Wow, that's sharp!! Is that a green interior?

 

Yes.

 

I don't agree with this but it's worth watching.

I think the Hurst Hairy Olds was built for a good time and to be a crowd pleaser. Nothing else. This guy has his head up his keister.

 

70 W-30 Convertible 4 speed.

I agree, it was built as a brute force power exhibition machine,...mission accomplished.....even when quiet and stationary. Dangerous and completely impractical? Yup! Isn't that the point??

 

Roger that!

 

A neat car in my area. Buick Invicta 1960 I think.
