Dark clouds covering the recently completed Hurst/Olds National Meet last weekend in Indianapolis recently yielded a ray of hope. One of the four Hurst/Olds stolen from a hotel parking lot has been recovered, but stripped of its valuable parts.

The 1979 black and gold Hurst/Olds was recovered with the basic body undamaged along with the engine and transmission still intact. The thieves apparently spray painted the gold exterior paint black to make it less noticeable. The classic car was missing the wheels/tires, black interior and chrome.

The thieves apparently spray painted the gold exterior paint black to make it less noticeable. The classic car was missing the wheels/tires, black interior and chrome.

No suspects have been arrested and the three cars are missing along with the parts stolen from the recovered car. Car hobbyists are asked to be on the lookout for those parts to appear at swap meets, Craigs List, eBay, or other popular used-part venues.

Also still missing are four posters of Linda Vaughn and a 1983 copy of Hot Rod magazine with Warren Johnson on the cover w/autograph. Look for those items to be sold separately.
