72 Hurst getting close to the finish line

It's almost embarrssing how long it's taken but I am finally retired and able to work on this 1972 Hurst/Olds every day. I bought this car in Latham, New York 17 years ago. Today it's basically a rebodied car. The only original body parts are the hood, doors, and cowel. l wanted to build a muscle car not a concourse trailer queen car. I am looking for a few parts that are not made though. More on that later.

Getting there circa 2017

After 17 years of tear down and rebuild I was finally able to start this Hurst and back it out of the garage. This car was at best a parts donor car when I bought it up in Latham New York. But it was a somewhat unique numbers matching car. No frills. No AC, no electrical windows or seats. GM 12 bolt posi. I have the factory build sheet for it, an old IBM punch card. The seller stated it was one of 6 Hursts made in 72 for dealers to showcase at drag strips. Never will be a concourse car
