Does their list show 226726 (formerly my car) as still belonging to John R. Skaggs, the second owner who passed away in 2020?

226704 May-70 99759 Parts car in PA, stored indoors. Console, Cruise, AM radio. I put it in my our spreadsheet today, along with the car in the field, below. 232867 Sitting in a field in MI since 1992. Has all the fiberglass parts. Console car.

Yeah, I always chuckle about the "special transmission". I think that was marketing smoke because of the connection (so to speak) of Hurst and trannys. Since it didn't have a Hurst shifter, they used a little unproveable smoke flavoring. I've been looking at those Hurst numbers for...

Here's their registry. I find it troubling that it shows one Hurst convertible. We all know that it's the famous "Linda Car", and it is not a Hurst (but it's ultra cool!!) And nowhere do they discuss the 485 vs. 501 production number differential. It's my opinion that the 501 number is pure...

I looked and looked for a Hurst list of some sort, thinking the same thing you guys did. But I've come to realize that the 300 Club is not particularly fond of the Hurst. When I stopped by their gathering at Carlisle over past years, I thought they wanted to spit on me. Only Al Moon was...

Even worse….when I first got my Hurst in 2018 I took lots of pics for restoration references but generally DIDNT record FTags and Door Stickers. I figure about six “got aways” before I realized that the Hursts haven’t been tracked like A-12s or Hemi ABods have been. I just assumed someone had...

I did not. This post was before I started seriously cataloging.

Thank you, Northcoast. You've done quite a job of making that poor Hurst very presentable, and saved from the crusher. Congrats....you're the earliest car we've documented, by one digit. And the VONs align! Spreadsheet is updated with your info. You care to post a pic of the BSheet and/or...

Outstanding! I'll update the Info sheet right away. It's Post 162 on the Nerd thread.

Could you give us your door sticker date, and I'll add you to the Hurst Build Info spreadsheet (unless you don't want me to) in the Nerd thread.

That's perseverance. Good for you....time to get back to that car. The illustrations in paper manual are considerably clearer than the PDF version. That counts when you're trying to figure out that leeeetle spring or detent ball or o-ring seal or bitty gasket.

My original thoughts (with @ayilar) was to share the sheet with anyone on Cbody, and/or have it posted so that it can be accessible to all of "us" members. My preference is that it is hosted/protected publicly so that if someone knowledgeable (like yourself) adds to it, we all can see it in...

Understood. We all use shortcuts amongst our regulars, but I didn’t want this Hurst database to get bad info THIS early in its creation. ‍ I didn’t understand if 479 was the last three of a VIN or a VON, thus the confusion. I will update the 4-15-24 with your 479 info and Edit. To all...

I'm sorry...this piecemeal approach to numbers isn't getting me anywhere, so I'll take a specific guess as to what you're trying to tell me across these posts: "VIN CM23U0C194408 has a VON of J99479. It was For Sale about six years ago." Yes? Do you have anything else on it, such as door...

I don't have a 479 on my list. Please explain. Also, I put any relatable factoid I have about a car in Notes to help keep track. For instance 211518 that has been floating around Florida for years, looking for a buyer. It's old info, but the last info is that it was in Davie.
