I was at Kroger in Plainfield Indiana last night and ran into a 1983 Hurst Olds. Awesome. They said it was over 50 or 150 Hurst Olds at a show August 6-9th at IMS. They're stayin at a hotel that starts with a W by Rockville and 465. banquet tonight at 6 or so at IMS i think.

Rocketraider posted on another forum that several G-body H/Os were stolen from the host hotel parking lot!

I read the same post with some warnings/tips about going to car shows.

It's a cry'in shame.

Ice

I couldn't make it to the show, but we stopped by last night and saw 3 '69 Hurst Olds, Several '72's, a '74, '79, several '84's and some '83's. There was this wagon, was it a '68?

Cameo White

I couldn't make it, unfortunately.
The wagon should be a 72 (medical director or press).
Hopefully I'll make it next year.

is it always at indy? i knew it was some years back but wonder if it is every year.

Cameo White

They move it around. I think this was the 3rd or 4th time at Indy. They like to go there given the association with the 72 pace car. Part of the festivities included the chance to drive a parade lap around the track in your H/O--that would have been very cool!

And once again the 1974 Pace Car program is forgotten, or dissed.

Sorry. Owning a 74 P/C replica with a Festival pedigree, it's a touchy subject.

easytobedead

so there were 4 stolen? }""""

1969Hurst

Not to worry, there were pleanty of 1974's there including my own. Also, one of the actual 1974 pace cars was there as well, see attached.

Perhaps this was the wagon you saw, Ron Memmer made it as a 1967 442 Tribute replica, pretty cool.. has 400 tri-power in it.

Ice

Yeah, it was like that, it was dark so hard to tell exact colors and I'm not big on wagons, but it was interesting. I hope someone gets on here and posts the date sooner next year so I can make the real show and I hope it's in Indy next time too!

Cameo White

Sorry Rocketraider. It was definitely a case of forgotten, not dissed. I want to get a 72 convertible one of these days, so that is where I focus my thoughts.

1969Hurst

Ice, sorry you missed it. The club returns to Indy every 5 years, 2009 and next s/b in 2014. Next years meet (2010) is scheduled for Dalton, GA, home of Linda Vaughn.

Ice

I saw 3 69 hurst's like yours tho it was sweet

Finally, a H/O show close to home

Hey they could get $4500 on the 84 from the government on a trade in.
