Vintage hurst test 1968

Nice to see the engineers testing a prototype. Ram air isn't doing much good with the air cleaner lid upside down, just sayin.

The Doctor...KOOL...take an inch out of the ride height add poly sway bar bushings up front and polys in the rear control arms modern wider 60 series radials, it really wakes up in the corners, flat. Nice exhaust note too. Hard to replicate in modern junk.

There are several videos from this show on you tube. Another Olds they test is a 71 W-30 conv 4 speed. Cool videos from back when the cars were new.
