Hurst Equipped: More Than 50 Years of High Performance (Cartech)
"To illustrate the Hurst's past and present, the authors relied on vintage illustrations and photos, as well as modern photography that takes readers through Hurst-equipped Pontiacs, Hurst/Olds masterpieces, Hurst AMC products and, of course, Hurst Mopar all the way up to the new Challenger and Chrysler 300C.... the hardboundHurst Equippeddoes a great job of recalling the golden eras of Hurst in its 160 pages. And, at $39.95, it's a bargain compared to the outdated original book." -Old Cars Weekly, November 22, 2012 (Old Cars Weekly News & Marketplace2012-11-22)"Fletcher and Truesdell pack a lot of information and history into a fairly brief volume, not an easy trick considering the breadth and depth of George Hurst's influence on the automotive scene. Period photos and advertisements mix with contemporary photos of some of Hurst's key projects-- the Hemi Under Glass Baracuda, SC/Rambler, Hurst/Olds-- in a concise history that runs right up to today's limited-edition muscle cars." -Muscle Car Review, January 2013 (Drew HardinMuscle Car Review2012-12-13)"Sometimes the shadow on the wall is so much biger than the thing creating the shadow, and that certainly sums up Hurst Performance Products. The company took a pretty small range of offerings and created an image that was so much bigger than the parts they sold. In some ways, Hurst was a triumph of marketing an image over actual performance, and through the showmanship of George Hurst, they kept the image alive well past their ability to thrive as an innovator or sales machine. Hurst Equipped does a nice job of telling that story." -Keith Martin's American Car Collector, Jan/Feb 2013 (Wigginton MarkKeith Martin's American Car Collector2012-12-28)ran our news release and cover image of the book in Volume 16, Issue 1, 2012 (Chrysler Power2013-01-02)"Don't pass this book by because it has muscle cars on the cover! Hurst was so much more than performance parts and racecars. This is the first-ever look at the company and its many products and, at least a little bit, the man himself." -speedreaders.info, January 2013 (Sabu Advanispeedreaders.info2013-01-14)"You know what's really sad? That George Hurst will never get to see this book. It's long overdue, and he would have loved it, we guarantee you." -Jim Donnelly, Hemmings Muscle Machines, March 2013 (Jim DonnellyHemmings Muscle Machines2013-01-28)review was written, but nothing really to put on website; page 96 of tkc magazine March/ April 2013 (tkc magazine2013-02-25)July 2013 issue of HPP, page 10; short review and photo of leather-bound version listing CarTech's info as place to get standard hardbound version (High Performance Pontiac2013-04-09)review for examiner.com online (William (Bill) Nakasoneexaminer.com2013-05-28)Watch an the authors of Hurst Equipped chat with Jay Leno about their book: http://www.jaylenosgarage.com/more-video/jays-book-club-hurst-equipped/index.shtml (Jay LenoJay Leno's Garage2012-11-21)"This book is lavishly illustrated with contemporary advertisements and photos old and new and is an excellent read." -Classic American, March 2014 (Classic American2014-02-13)
