I acquired this 1972 H/O from a gentlemen in Vancouver BC a number of years back.

 

Nice! Welcome the group.

 

Welcome to the site, nice ride.

 

Welcome to the group... Sharp looking Hurst...Any past history given to you by the previous owner???

 

Very nice!!

 

Nice 72 looks like it its mostly complete !

 

Welcome.

 

Great looking, but then again I'm kind of partial to the Hurst cars!!

 

Yes sir! I am the fourth owner of the car. The car was purchased from the original owner in Seattle in 1985. I purchased from the third owner who is located in Vancouver BC in 1997. To the best of my knowledge the car is all original with the exception of the left rear quarter being repainted and restriped. The car is optioned with power windows, power door locks, power trunk, rear and front seat belt shoulder harness, outside thermometer, along with all normal H/O equipment. It also has the W30 aluminum intake which I assume was installed by the second owner.

After having the car about a year or so I had issues with the engine smoking. It was rebuilt by Ronnie B.at Sherve Automotive. I installed 9.5 to 1 forged pistons and a mild cam and left everything else stock. After the rebuild I installed an MSD ignition using another distributor to modify for the electronics; keeping the original intact. The box is mounted in the trunk and all looks original under the hood.

After all was said and done I thought about repainting and doing a mild restoration but decided against it because the car was too nice. Now I am glad I just left it a survivor!
