Re: Update.. 'Russ Dunmire' 68 Hurst Olds Drag Ca
Seems like I read there was at least one 4-speed built for one of the higher-ups sons. That has been years ago that I read that.
[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] It will be well worth the effort. Anyone know of any other Olds race cars from 68-72 that are out there? You just dont see many vintage Olds drag cars... [/ QUOTE ] I believe there may be one of these early cars recently discovered in my area. A friend cleaned out an elderly ladies garage and got a ton of Olds parts but missed out on all the cars that she had recently scrapped. I had heard that the one car was a 68 Hurst/Olds, that turned out to be a prototype car with a 455 Olds motor. Luckily the scrap guy sold the car to another local Olds fan (initially for parts)and the car was saved before the wrecker. This car is a stick car. I'm curious, were any of these first seven cars 4-speeds?...and what would be the value of a car like this??? Thanksss [/ QUOTE ]

Re: Update.. 'Russ Dunmire' 68 Hurst Olds Drag Ca
The RealOlds Power site may have more detail on these converts. Hurst used the converts for promotional purposes,it is not known if they had a 455 in them like the hardtops did. It may have been a paint scheme thing as opposed to a full conversion,although I do see the W30 scoops under the bumper.
Rumors of 3 or 5 converts. Paul

Re: Update.. 'Russ Dunmire' 68 Hurst Olds Drag Ca
Thank you for keeping this chapter of Olds performance open!!!! A car that I really have a soft spot for!!!! I think that it needs to slide out to Chicago for the Supercar reunion or for MCACN next fall!!!!
