Barrett-Jackson... 1979 Hurst/Olds

[mheath717]

I'm watching a 1979 Hurst/Olds go up for sale on Barrett-Jackson. It is bothering me that they are calling this car a 442, and a 442 Hurst. I really wish I could tell them that there is a difference between a 442 and a Hurst/Olds! Maybe I'm just crazy. IDK. Is it bothering anybody else?? Or is it just me??

Email them. They get corrections all the time on the show.

those guys dont know much about cars. i once saw them call a corvette an A I R coupe, when it was just a vette with air conditioning.

It was black and gold... but it was Linda Vaughn's personal car, and came with her old jacket. It was over 41k when I stopped watching.

Don't let the "442" comment bother you.
Almost 40 years ago someone told me I had a nice Mustang convertible.... NOT!
It was a 1968 GT500 Shelby convertible... The twin to the car that Madonna gave to Shawn Penn!
WTF!!!! (Hmmm, maybe that's why I sold it).
