Inside the book
This book tells the story of George Hurst and his massive influence on the high-performance automotive industry. It's a must-read for anyone who wants to understand how Hurst became a cornerstone of the muscle car era.
The narrative covers how Hurst developed a line of shifters that set the industry standard and grew into a catalog of over 100 speed parts. You'll see how his alliance with Anco Industries helped turn the Hurst catalog into a primary source for performance parts during the 1960s and 1970s.
The authors include details on specific collaborations, like the work with Jack “Doc” Watson on Pontiac performance projects. It also covers the creation of the Hurst Olds with Oldsmobile and the SC Rambler built with AMC.
You'll find information on the Chrysler Super Stock cars, the 300H, and the famous Hemi Under Glass drag racing exhibition car. The book covers everything from production cars and race cars to the high-performance parts that still sell today.
Richard Truesdell is a veteran magazine editor who co-authored this book with Mark Fletcher.
