Personally, I love 69 H/O's. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif

In an old February 1970 issue of Hot Cars Magazine, they had a list of "The Worst Lemons from Detroit". This magazine was absolutely brutal in their analysis. They never minced words, and they REALLY didn't like wings and stripes. They bashed the laser stripes on the Torino, the rear wing and stickers on the 69 Judge, the 69 Dodge Daytona, you name it, anything with flash or flare was fair game. They even called the 70 442 fat and ugly. Not surprisingly, advertisers began to shun the magazine, and they folded.

This attachment is from their "Lemons" issue. SmallHurst, this is not for the faint of heart. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/shocked.gif

But for me, I think the 69 H/O personified the Musclecar Era, and I love them. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Stealthbird,
What is that white Camaro in the Pic?

Re: Nice '68 Hurst Olds on eBay
 
Unfortunately, it's an original 307 2-barrel car https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif It was converted WAY back in the 1980's, one piece at a time ( before the real SS396 cars became high dollar cars) just to have some fun. It has all the right parts now, looks like a 69 SS396, with a 427 under the hood. The 69 H/O is a 27,000 mile car, and the Carousel Red (Hugger Orange to the Chevy guys) is my Firebird 400.

The Second 69 I bought back in 1979 was identical to that car except for the spoiler. From Reedman, It was a true SS 396 L35 4spd with Factory Air and a Black and White Houndstooth interior. Not sure if the car is still here in NJ but would love to find it again! attached is a pic of it...sorry if it's not to clear, i have to dig up some better ones https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif

Still a great photo. I love original photos like that one. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

There's a white 69 Yenko that attends cruise nights around here. I believe it has the documentation being a Jack Douglas car (I'm sure someone on this site knows the car). We always thought that if my friend had finished his "transformation" back in the 80's, it would look like this white Yenko.

Hey, I found an original photo of what Dave H. was doing in 1968. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

You should say J.Platania to be more discreet. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...elairSucks.gif

Great pic!

That was a very famous engineering test car in 1968. It was jade green with a painted willow green top. It was used to develop the "Supertuning tips" and also is the one on the Motion Markowitz ad.

I actually got a chance to drive it around the block one time and convinced me to change my order from a 68 442 convertible to my Ramrod. Rest is history.

Dave----------------I always had a great respect and fun with the 442, especially the 66 and 67 mainly because a couple of my buddies had them and I would get a chance to run them----Did you hear anything about the Motion/Markowitz Cars back then while you were at Oldsmobile---------
