Would you buy this vehicle?

This letter comes with the Car:



A high idle speed is required to insure adequate lubrication, minimize roughness, and to keep the

engine from stalling.



The modified intake manifold causes a rich surging condition, misfiring and unstable engine

operation in cold weather, which makes ordinary street driving extremely difficult and it is not

recommended for this use.



Higher than normal oil consumption will be encountered because of increased lubrication to the

valve train and cylinder walls.



The carburetors are calibrated for maximum power and a high numerical axle ration is used for

acceleration. As a result, the gas mileage is considerably less than for a conventional car.



Engine noise would be objectionable due to increased piston clearance and mechanical valve

tappet clearance.



The ignition system is designed for optimum engine output and must be kept in top condition. This

makes it necessary to inspect, adjust and replace the spark plugs and ignition points more

frequently than would be necessary on a standard engine.



On car equipped with automatic transmission, band adjustment must be made frequently.



Due to performance characteristics, maintenance and operating expense will be high since premium

fuel is required and frequent oil changes are a MUST.



Does not conform to Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.







Warranty and Policy Coverage







Any customer purchasing this model vehicle should be advised that due to the expected use, the vehicle is sold

"as is" and the 24 month or 24,000 mile vehicle warranty coverage, the 5 year or 50,000 mile Power Train Warranty

coverage, or any other warranty coverage (including, but not limited to the implied warranties of fitness for

purpose intended or merchantability) will not apply to the vehicle. The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for

the manner in which such vehicles operate.

Hammer,

I wish I had your friends. 2 Hurst Cars? I would be get weak in the knees just walking up to them. Probably faint. :D



Here is the rear view of the black 'Cuda. It must be an auto car? It looks like an 8 3/4 rear.

Do you know this guy in the wheelchair? (see link below) I think I have seen him before. Check out his webpage. He just bought a '68 Hurst Cuda. He is building a '70 Pro Street Super Bee. Note the aluminum head, Blown & Injected HEMI motor for it. Guy must be rich. :D He has a '97 Dodge w/ CTD as a trailor hauler.

It could be an 8 3/4, but I don't think any of the '68 cars came that way. Most likely, it's a 9" Ford. All the 68s I saw at the recent Mission Shootout (rainout) had 9-inchers. Lighter, ya know.



Good thread, HemiDart. I am wiping drool off my chin as I type! :D
