Some one dreaming.

Someone put a lot of work into that car, and killed a 79 H/O in the process...

 

Or the containment vessel of the 79 H/O was fubar and the Buick transplant was means to recycle a power train. Its definitely different... just think of the what the car show talking heads conversations would be.

 

Anybody with a clue will realize that there are parts in that car that were built long after the 1972 model year, so obviously it's not a factory-built car.

 

Lol, I assure you there will be a conversation at a car show of how someones friend of a friends relative bought a car just like it, only different, new.

 

I'm not disagreeing. I've heard too many of those conversations myself...

 

Not just any Hurst/Buick, but the coveted Hurst/Harley Davidson Edition. That being said, we've seen much worse attempts at custom work.

 

Or Hurst/GM. Iroc wheels? H/O emblems on the door panels with the Buick tri shield emblem in the middle of the O? Wow.

 

I think it is UGLY.

The paint scheme just doesnt translate to an A-body. if they wanted to hurst tribute they should have picked the 68.

 

I find it strange that one guys changling into what he thought as a custom is deemed to be unacceptable and ugly! Guys it is a custom and they do anything and everything to make one guys vision that he defines. I don't think he is saying it was a factory version in anyway!Wow why all the negativity.I like the color.

 

the colors are fine, the idea is fine but the design doesnt fit the lines of the car. the design was for a square car. its not negativity its just opinion. i'm tired of this notion you can't be critical anymore. its a lot of whats wrong with this country on so many fronts.

 

Agree on the design issue. The sail panel treatment is awful.

 

I am trying to get some of the posters to understand a custom anything goes. I would venture to say some have not built a custom car/truck. The taste is up to the creator. Critical opinions based on what?There are far worse customs design modified car/trucks than this. No need to get all bent out of shape! I have a 38 dodge street rod that is a custom. Truck is located in my album.Just saying!

 

I like it paint scheme and all, not a factory deal but someones pride and joy

 

almost X2 throw on some of those gold hurst dazzler rims and it would be nicer IMO the IROC rims well eh um meh !

 

why do you have to get them to understand anything? they have their own thoughts and opinions. from an asthetic standpoint it doesnt flow well. i'm both a buick guy and an olds guy, i have an 83 hurst olds and 70 GS stage 1, the whole thing is off to me. Motor swaps are just motor swaps but on the other hand, if wanting to tribute a olds, pick 1 of the 3 that shared that basic body style, the 68, 69 or 72. the 79 just doesnt work. i thought it was a 73 charger or road runner at first glance.

 

I have to agree. This is no different than the aftermarket W-25 hoods used on the 73-77 cars where the scoops don't even come close to lining up with the grilles, for example.

 

Ah poor attempt at humor.No way to think this is at first glance charger or a roadrunner! I see where this point of view is headed total flush! Out of here no wish to debate merit or non merit of this custom car with you. I was saying it is a custom car not a tribute no matter what adds or opinions are it is what it is.

 

Lines can make or break a car. the grill openings on the 86 grand prix 2+2 totally kill the front end. the top of the grill openings should have lined up with the top of the head light openings but instead are an inch lower and it makes it look very odd. where as on the monte SS nose it lines up symetrically across the front of the nose.

 

Shoot I'd drive the **** out of it... Driven around in a lot worse than that :P

 

It's about half way to a reasonable price. For 7k, I'd buy it and crash the HOCA nationals with it.

 

For me. I wouldn't have put the New Hurst logo on it. Move the lower Gold line by the back side windows toward the back more and then follow back glass forward and over the top. Then take the wheel out of the truck and paint the Black to Gold to make it "look of the period". Take off those BIG *** emblems off the door panels.


My two cents.
