Check the SPD, paint codes, and interior codes; they are all the same including the first two digits of the VON. All 300/H did not have the A12 package code on the tag.

1/25 scheduled production date SPD

Check the cars body numbers against the fender tag. They need to match.

they all match vin and everything , the drivers door has a date of 3/20 i think but thats common all hurst were given a 1/25 build date and they were built throughout the year

That's the Joe Stentella FBI auction car, isn't it? Did your friend buy it or is it still for sale with the other two projects?

 

[morepar]

I believe it is! but didnt that car have a bent decklid?

That's definatly the same tag in the other two threads about the trio of Hursts being sold.
Hey John, what's the back story on the Joe Stentella FBI auction? Was this a criminal case of some sort?

 

[morepar]

Yeah! would love to hear it!!

Didn't they all have a bent decklid to some degree - the constant spring force against the fully fiberglass structure didn't resist twisting well?

I don't know the details of the auction. Someone else might be able to fill in those blanks. Stentella got busted running for a big dollar online gambling ring. They confiscated a bunch of his cars and auctioned them off. Multi-million dollar gambling ring busted

I think the only ones that aren't twisted are ones that were fixed. Are those all fiberglass? I thought they had the steel inner frame like the hood.

Why is the fender tag black?

As for the A12, I know this is a subject of debate, but according to Govier it is supposed to be there. My Buddy's 300-H had it.
