Barracuda, but then you have a couple guys trying to wrestle a race hemi into the interior of it. Was this the first wheelstander??

I'm pretty sure it was this car, the '65 Hurst Hemi Under Glass...notice the different front grills though.

Worked for a dealer that drove one of these new. He would NEVER let anyone else drive it. That was one fine automobile!

I won the Nascar Winternationals in Daytona ( De land ) Fl. in 1968. I recieved a really nice letter and an unexpected generous contengency check from Hurst after I got home. It was signed by someone named George Parrot, does anyone know who he was or his capacity in the Hurst Corp ? ------- Thanks, Danny

I didn't know the original intent for this car was for it to be competitive. Thanx for that info Bowtiefroggie

First time I've seen a crossram on a wheelstander. Prolly didn't run well with carbs at a 45* angle alot of the time. Thus the Hillbornes

Are those grills 66?

Yep,, That is the '66 grille shown. I remember the October '65 Car Craft magazine cover had a multi shot sequence of the '65 car in action.

They made the Grand Prixs in 70 and 71. The 4 headlight cars are 70s like the bottom photo and the 2 headlight cars are 71s. Im not sure of the production. My guess is about 500 per year. Pontiac guys can weigh in.

VC, I don't know why I was thinking Buick when looking at some of the photos you posted back on page one, it obviously was an '74 Hurst Olds W30, maybe the similar body styles that year threw me off, not to mention all the others that they built over the years such as Pontiac Chrysler Dodge Plymouth AMC/Jeep models back then or perhaps a few others that I don't recall at the moment...I am curious though how many '71 SSJ Grand Prix's did they make, because I didn't see to many of those around.
