Anyone know what ever happened to this car? 65 Hurst Hemi Under Glass?

Jay Leno crashed a Hemi Under Glass when he was test driving it a few years ago.

Yeah, I don't think that's really the case tho... You can't put '66 Taillights in a '65 either.

just saying what was in the story.
I would say most anything could be done with time and money.
Wally Booth made a 69 camaro out of his 68 camaro.

The early cars look so right with the HURST wheels on them.

One of my cuda's is rear-engined as well!
it's a Cox Tether-Car Chassis under a 1:18 scale die-cast '69

Here's the other one...
'65 Resin Body on a '69 1:25 Chassis with '71/'72 Demon Wheels and 340

Here is a pic of when we were building the 69 HUG originally before it was rolled. It was a body I bought from a junkyard in Phoenix, AZ that was a 383 4-speed car originally but it was a stripped out shell when I got it...

The last run from Bowling Green, KY, it was just idled down the track as a tribute...

I think it was around 1011 or so, time flies when you are having fun. Looking back at my picture it was 2010 when the Russo-Steele tornado hit and you can see a Hemicuda convertible in the background that was crushed by a tent pole, so it had to be around 2011 for sure...

I am in the process of scratch building a 65 version.
Long time project.

@HemiSSDart, are you adopting by chance?

nope, I can't even take care of myself let alone another...

Some of the story is correct, but some isn't. I had long talks with Bob over the years...

I was emailing Bill Sefton and he says he sold the 66 with the 3 others. Was that a new 66 or the Original?

It was the later built one, the original 66 is long gone...

I think Jay should buy it as is. What a conversation piece.

I saw one at a Car-Show once...
It had a Backwards rear-end and an In-Out box with two driveshafts going to the rear Valance.
Were they all that way?

The "V" drive was produced by I believe Joe Casale, they are/were very common in drag boats.
