Default Re: Hurst Engineered FWD '68 Olds 442 Uncovered

I will not be there, but I sure hope the car does come out of hibernation. As to the comments from some of the other people in this thread---I maintain that many cars were "built" that will NOT contain paperwork because they supposedly weren't available or simply were built as design studies. I know of such a car and people tell me I am full of "you know what" when I mention it because the car has no substantiating documentation--- I try to tell them why it doesn't/won't. The cars that I am referring to may have been "assembled" by (in this case) Oldsmobile but NOT on the assembly LINE, so do they exist? Sure they do! Can they be documented? Probably not, unless someone who was there will sign a sworn affidavit. Remember guys and gals, we are talking 50 years ago, and the car business was TOTALLY different then. Just like the trumped up '64 GTO someone mentioned earlier---if Wangers had not come clean on that car, would everyone know what really happened? Did Pontiac "assemble" that car? YES! Did the assembly LINE assemble it? NO! Big Brother wasn't watching then like he is now.
