Is there a finder's fee in my future? >>>>LOL

I won't bid against you Chevelle fans if you don't run me up on that Hurst Olds.

I had to look that one up.

With the 455, that's a special car......looks great too.

Gosh, Tom - - looks like they're all No Reserve.....

Thanks so much for the link.

I'm not buying anything, but I might have to see if I can find it live on TV.

The market on some of the early vehicles has changed over recent years.

Not a lot of guys around want to tangle with a Pre-WWII car anymore......but great early cars still demand a great price. Certainly, looks like some of those in the lineup fit the bill.

Seems the "Muscle Car" era cars have been strong. That's my "Baby Boomer" era.

I had a 68 442 W-30 with the 400 CI engine. GM limited the mid size cars to 400 CI so the Hurst Company bought the cars incomplete and added the 455. I did some reading and found that the Hurst Olds didn't use the wilder cam on cars with an air conditioner, so the one at the sale has a bit less horsepower and less exhaust rumble.

Oh, that's cool. Wondered how it got a Hurst badge.....

I had some pictures from years ago at the museum (Post #9 of this thread).

Both a GTO and a Buick GSX(?) had 455's (I think they both did?). The Buick was a very limited production #'s as I recall. Was probably close to 10 years ago now.

My own fault I didn't get a picture ......one of my colleagues was driving his 1963 Buick LeSabre for this morning's meeting.

2-door hardtop. Kind of a "champagne" color. Very nice original daily driver car he doesn't use much.

Just getting it out to stretch it's legs last few days.

Nice thing to see at 0745.....

Was walking by this the other day and just thought it looked cool. Been there quite a while, just caught my eye that day.

1931Cadillac. It’s a V-16. Don’t see those everyday.

In our Made in New York Exhibit we have an Emblem motorcycle. It’s a 4-seater and a family went nearly cross-country with it if I remember correctly.

OMG, can't imagine steering that MC sitting off center.
Very cool though.

Looks like someone put a couch on the motorcycle.
