<VV> Hurst Linkage

[Marc Marcoulides]

At least he didn't go into Ralphie, the guy is probably BS but if Hurst did make something for the Corvair, how could they improve on shifting? This might be fun to talk about.

So, I'm driving the rampside and stop at White Hen for coffee.  A guy there
stops me and starts telling me about his '66 coupe that was one of 400 with
a Hurst linkage.  I smiled politely (thinking NFW).  Anyway, he persisted,
so I asked if it was a Corsa.  He says no, but does not volunteer just what
model it was.  Then ... he goes on that this "special" car got crushed while
he was in the service.  His "buddy" who he was storing it with let it go for
use in test crash service.  This makes even less sense to me because this
supposedly happened in '72.

Finally as we part he admonishes me to take care of the Rampside.  I'm
thinking - better than you did the coupe.  But, again I bit my tongue.

So, 400 '66s with Hurst Linkage?  What, urban legend - or some kind of basis
in fact?  Anyone know what he might have been talking about?
