Interesting how the certificate says "1983 Hurst Olds 15th anniversary LICENSE PLATE". :unsure:

IF they are indeed genuine Hurst/Olds parts, they're worth way more than $400. That Horsepower Hall of Fame stuff was when Doc Watson was selling Hurst stuff from nearly 20 years ago. He was always trying to market stuff.

The fact that it's not even authenticating anything other than a license plate kind of tells me this is sort of a sham. My gut feeling is these are reproduction emblems. Convenient that the emblems are sorta fuzzy in the picture and couldn't be expanded for a better view.

Of course, I do have a set of genuine 83 H/O emblems like this. I got them because I thought maybe, one day, I might pick up an 83 H/O. There is a difference between the repros and genuine articles.

Didn't know it was a legit scam, but still worthless/pointless. Although, I'm pretty sure it would count as a "spirit item" in OCA judging. :rofl:
Yeah, like if you put an 83 H/O plate on the front of your wagon, and when you obviously get dinked for that, you can whip out your "authenticity" letter and complain to try and get your points back!
