    The Hurst Registry

    You C-Bod folks might recall that I posted my Hurst Registry spreadsheet in the “Nerd” and “NOT MINE” threads in the April 2024 timeframe, but decided to remove it, polish it, add to it, and most importantly figure a way to make it a standalone document that can be added to as we find more...

    Is this the same gal, some 45+ years later? I'll find out!

    I was going through Welder guy's wonderful Classic Pics thread and came across these promo photos. @Welder guy In 2008 I briefly dated this (very successful) woman who I'll name "A", and we're still friends and see each other often, getting together for dinner with my girlfriend and her...

    I think we have a winner!

    You might recall that last January I posted that I'd send this emblem free to whoever identifies what it goes on and could prove that they actually needed it. That clause was so I wouldn't end up seeing it for sale on eBay (or here!). Yesterday I got a PM from new member @Senix 61, who...

    For Sale Plymouth emblem. Free.

    I don't know what car or what year it goes to, but if you need a decent emblem that looks like this, it's yours. Here's the catch: Post a pic of either the three holes where it goes on YOUR car, or the emblem it's replacing. I really don't want to see it here in a few months For Sale. Shame...

    Let's discuss the "Price Class" in our VINs.

    Our cars have a Price Class of Low, Medium, High, Premium, Police, Taxi, and it's the second letter of VIN. The B and E Bods their Classes, too. I was talking to @david hill the other day, and he was surprised to learn that my Hurst [CM23U0C226726] is considered a "Medium" price class...

    Pics of "Booster Steve" rebuilt 69-70 8.5 inch dual-diaphragm unit.

    After borrowing a used (and rare!) 69/70 8 1/2 inch dual diaphragm from a member here (so that I could continue to move my car around for two months), I sent my unit to Booster Dewey/Steve in Portland as many of you here have already done or are planning to. Instead of a six-seven week...

    Ammeter replacement story in Hemmings.

    David Hill and I stopped bidding at $4.5 million....

    ....on this amazing Cuda at Mecum Indy on Friday. The bidding soon got to $4.9M but didn't meet the reserve. Oh....sorry. I missed a decimal point or two. David and I stopped bidding at $4500.00. But we sure had a great day looking at cars in Indy. :thumbsup:

    300 Hurst Diecast--For your viewing pleasure.

    A few weeks ago, this diecast model appeared on eBay, and I thought "I HAVE to have that!". So I put enough of a killer bid on it so that unless Leno wanted it, I would be sure to win. And I did. It arrived today. But get this: The seller is in Poland (with great eBay ratings), the model...

    Wet? Dry? Freon sightglass? Huh?

    I spotted this very strange tag on the receiver/dryer of an early-60s Imp or Letter car while at Kissimmee earlier this year (I forget any specifics about the car). I have NEVER seen this on any other Mopar or other manufacturer, for that matter. What does it mean? What sort of moisture is it...

    Schrader valve won't come out.

    Anyone ever have a Schrader that won't come out the port? I haven't, until now. The Schrader somehow failed when I was adding a little "freeze" and I lost my charge a few weeks ago. Damn. Should have left it alone, as I was getting 44* air. Oh well. So I go to replace it today and it...

    "Dashing" through Mecum Kissimmee

    I took these pics of the dashboards of the five Forward Look Collection cars, just so I could post them here for you to enjoy. Beautiful sculpture! BTW, the Lot did NOT sell at a bid of $585K.

    SOLD 300 Medallion--Free

    I picked up this medallion at Carlisle for a few bucks last summer, just because I wanted it for no particular reason. I have no idea of the year or anything else. It's just something shiny that caught my eye....kinda like what a crow or magpie does! :realcrazy: So, if someone NEEDS it for...

    Judges Choice Award!

    Today I participated in the Ponte Vedra Beach Chamber car show. It's a fairly big deal on a regional level, about 200 quality cars, preregistration required, yada. Lots of Ferraris and Lambos and Porches and other high-end stuff including some muscle and lots of weird, rare cars. Lo and...

    Be careful when you lower your steering column...

    ...because when you do, you can (unintentionally and unknowable-y) shift the car out of Park. When the column is lowered, this can also move the torque shaft, and now the car can roll away! I noticed this when I recently dropped the column to pull the IP. No disaster in this case due to my...
