today I was at the rummage yard and found a set of Hurst lightning rods.

alittle nasty looking, but definitely savable, and they work fine.

does anyone have any clue what these are worth?

Might be a little rough looking, but that's still a awesome find!

took them apart, sanded it to metal, painted the base black, reassembled. works like new, looks acceptable.

Do you happen to have any of the cables? Awesome find! Im looking for some for a possible project are you looking to sell them?

Looks to be the 3 speed version? Those are a little more common than the 4 speed version. Still a great find.

How do you tell the difference??

The first lever will have P R N OD D (5 positions) for a 4 speed. P R N D (4 positions) for a 3 speed. The 4 speed shifter was only available in an 83 or 84 Hurst Olds. The 3 speed was available aftermarket for many years. Both are hard to find nowadays but the 4 speed is much harder.

Thanks I didn't know there was a difference in them. Im looking at an 84 HO that's missing the lightening rods. Tough to find part!

pretty sure its for a 200R4, all I have are the rods, no cables, no brackets, no faceplate...etc.

sorry, I didn't know this thread was getting any traffic
