BOPcollector Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Possibly the only one with this color combination ?? Revere Silver with black 2 tone and white vinyl stripes and a black half roof. Interesting interior that seems to have been put together by Hurst...Pewter bench interior but has black carpet, black bucket seats ,black seat belts and a black headliner and side panels . Maybe a PHS report will reveal . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alsancle Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 How many of the Hurst cars did they build that year? I think they all had the sun roof? Shifter is neat, I can't recall one like that - is it a dual gate auto? There is a 69 SJ 428/4 speed car on eBay right now. Since most were automatics they guy wants an absolute fortune for a rough car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOPcollector Posted June 20, 2016 Author Share Posted June 20, 2016 One source claims 52 were built. Another source cites 60 total built for '72. Most were white/gold or black/gold. a couple of green/gold ones were built. A blue one was found and that was documented to have a full vinyl top with the sunroof and no contrasting color. A silver one was documented with no contrasting color and a black landau top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsancle Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 This is a decent write up on the Hurst Pontiac: http://www.hemmings.com/magazine/mus/2014/02/1971--72-Hurst-SSJ-Grand-Prix/3735031.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOPcollector Posted June 21, 2016 Author Share Posted June 21, 2016 Nice. This part is interesting..... "Though Hurst stated that the available colors for '71-'72 were Starlight Black or Cameo White, George Hurst's personal SSJ was a silver '72, and we have seen a green '72 SSJ; the author has also photographed a Bluestone Gray ('71- color) '72 SSJ, and there have been rumors of other colors, such as maroon, over the years." Wouldn't it be something if this SSJ was Mr. Hurst's personal ride in '72. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsancle Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 I want to know what the deal is with the shifter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOPcollector Posted June 21, 2016 Author Share Posted June 21, 2016 It is the Hurst Auto Stick installed at Hurst during the conversion on this car. It operates similar to the Jaguar "J" gate shifter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOPcollector Posted June 29, 2016 Author Share Posted June 29, 2016 This is another '72 SSJ I found in a Gettysburg,Pa junkyard a couple of years ago. Black and gold loaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsancle Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Seems like quite a few are not restored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOPcollector Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 Yes. Someone should buy one of mine and restore it. Then I could restore the other one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOPcollector Posted July 4, 2016 Author Share Posted July 4, 2016 (edited) Aren't they all !? It isn't that bad and most of the paint is virgin. There are a few places it has been previously repainted mostly the pass. side and the driver front fender . There is a little rust through but it is not all rotted out. Most of the accessories are working and the engine is spinning over good and trying to fire off. This kind of car you can't really gripe about the restoration process it will require .

BOPcollector Posted July 4, 2016 Author Share Posted July 4, 2016 (edited) This is the PHS report I got last week and this morning the owner of PHS called me to discuss this car so there really is something to it.

BOPcollector Posted September 11, 2016 Author Share Posted September 11, 2016 It starts, runs, drives and stops. Runs pretty good. Quiet exhaust . Auto Stick works good. A guy in Arizona is buying it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
