Hurst Grand Prize 1970 Nova
 

saw this Hurst Grand Prize 1970 Nova on the Peterson Photo site

might be the winners of the Hurst Nova for the Hurst name the shifter contest
Looks like "name the shifter contest" is on the quarter panel

They call it a 3 speed stick automatic

It became known as the Hurst Auto Stick and was made as a bench seat floor conversion shifter using a rod not a cable.

Also used by Yenko in the Deuce auto trans cars
some were even installed by Hurst

Always wondered where that car wound up.

Cool shot Joe also similar to another we've seen w/ the kid on the roof.
I'm always keeping eyes peeled for this car and saved a few pics of it over the years, here's a couple below but there's more in past threads here including some w/ the Hurst Girls and a different lucky young lad?:hmmm:
:beers:

I entered that contest with Hurst Automatic Stick Shifter.

Im guessing, 396-375 horsepower powerplant in this Nova?

Hurst Nova...
 

Does anyone know the vin number for this car ?

in that drag racing photo , looks to have a 1970's New York orange color plate on it

Wes Eisenschenk, who wrote the Lost Musclecars book, has been searching for it and the trail went cold in Ohio I believe.
