1968 HURST HEMI Factory lightweight S/S DART

Sorry, if by posting this "ad", I got you feeling bad in any way. Originally, it was on CL close to Boston (me). I was thinking that if it was legit, that someone on this board would want to know about such a rare car.

As it turns out, you seem to have an intimate knowledge of it's history, so in a round about way, maybe the post saved a fellow "A Body" board member a lot of time and potentially a lot of money.

I recently sold a '65 Buick convertible to a guy from Minnesota (much to my better judgement). It was a long distance transaction, he never came to see the car, made several payments, stopped taking calls, supposed car carrier driver was going to give me final payment after I signed the title over....all the "stuff" scams are made of.

In the end it worked out, but there's so many angles/aspects of collector/muscle cars to get burned (on either side of the transaction), it's no wonder the scammers have a picnic with this "stuff".

The gray area that "tribute" or "clones" have created for scammers sucks. I have a friend who bought a 70 Chevelle SS BB convertible. All "Chevy Historical" data was supposedly in tact. This guy is a die hard Chevy guy and he still got scammed.

I really think it's great to build 'em and drive or race 'em. It's what happens when the "open market" gets their hands on it and sees a way to make a quick buck.
