Long time
Club Member Ron Bodner says, “I found this car by accident, one spring day in 2002
when I was at River City Auto in Winnipeg (Canada). It
had been mostly redone that winter but was unfortunately sold. I sure liked the
style of the vehicle and was missing my 1967 Olds 442 which I had sold the fall
before.” As luck would have
it the deal fell through with the original buyer and Ron ended up becoming the lucky
owner. There was a bit of work to be done
and a few missing factory pieces, but it was a ‘numbers matching car’ which Ron
learned had been stolen and vandalized before River City Auto bought it. Ron notes that “Most importantly the
original trunk lid with factory build sticker came with the car to authenticate it as one
of only 3,500 that were made that final year of production for this model.” Ron has
been able to find most of the missing pieces and thanks to the ‘wizardry’ of
Sheldon Lishinski in Selkirk (Canada), this absolutely stunning Hurst/Olds now runs .. and
looks .. great! Always a perfectionist, Ron
concludes by saying “There are a few things to do yet, but it is a real head turner
which I have shown all last season”. Take a moment and look at Ron's other cars, a stunning 1962 Pontiac Parisienne Convertible
and his newest acquisition, Be sure to send an e-mail to the President or Membership Chair to request information
about upcoming shows/events where the Members can be met and cars seen. BACK |
