saw this the other day and was wondering if this sounds like the real deal and is the price realistic
or maybe they are a member here?

This iconic 1972 Hurst SSJ Pontiac Grand Prix is for sale. This is the
car that appeared in all the ads with Linda Vaughn posing through the
sunroof. 1972 was the last Hurst Pontiac produced and only 52 were
built and only one was done in this color scheme.
The vehicle had been in the Hurst Heritage museum and includes "Pontiac Historical Services certification". The original 400 cu. in. engine was replaced with a "worked" tri-power 455, and the original "freshened" 400 will be included with the sale.
Signed by both Linda Vaughn and Doc Watson ( President and creator of the than Hurst Corp., the vehicle is very nice and shows 1252 on the odometer which means it has rolled over, driven mostly in shows and parades. We are looking for realistic
offers at $55,000.00 and over. phone 248-495-0777

Looks like Doc Watson's car which has the gold-painted lower half of the car. The standard SSJs didn't have gold on the bottom. During a call I once had with Doc, he had always wanted the lower body to be gold, but George himself didn't like it. George also wanted the deep-padded vinyl top and Doc always hated that feature on these cars.

I would dispute this being the car you see in the ad featuring Linda standing through the roof. She's standing through the roof of a 71 not a 72 (71's didn't have wind deflector when roof was open, 72's did). That brochure photo shows a non-wind deflector 71. Furthermore, that brochure would have been made for the 71 model year. Highly unlikely that they would have made that ad one year late for the 72's.

Additionally, that brochure photo is showing a bench seat SSJ if I'm seeing it correctly. Doc Watson's car is a bucket seat car in that video.

Yes, I've studied the many nuances of the SSJs in extreme detail, to the point of probably losing too many brain cells.

Nevertheless, the car for sale is stunningly gorgeous and offers Hurst wheels. While they weren't available on normal-channel SSJs, they sure are a very nice feature on this car.

For a Doc Watson SSJ, I'd bet $55k is on target, but it's way out of my league.

$55k for a wrong motor car?

[ssj71]

Keith,

I agree with you on the value not being in line with a non-numbers-matching car, but that car has the flash and the connection to Doc Watson. I think that trumps numbers & codes for a lot of people. It's already broken $35k with 8 days to go, so we'll see...

The add says the original motor is included in the sale. The car is on ebay now.
