Rough but interesting.
I especially like the Ford truck behind the car....

Location: Perth Australia | Are you sure this is a clone
Just read this http://hooniverse.com/2013/05/03/hooniverse-obscure-muscle-car-gara...
It says that only 2 convertibles were built (shows one with cragar wheels in the article), but the description looks right for this car (from what I can see) including how the wheels are painted
Could be a rare bird found?
If you were an avid collector of cars, I am sure this would deserve a better look

Location: Florida | I'm only going by the seller's description, but they describe it as originally being painted green. Otherwise, it looks close.
Here's a real one that was on eBay recently: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1970-Chrysler-300-Series-HURST-CONVERTIBLE-...
The clone looks close - The only exception I would guess is missing is the Hurst transmission floor shift lever that is on the genuine car in the above auction . . . assuming that both cars were built the same. |

Location: Florida | I noticed that the engine code "E85" on the fender tag for the currently advertised car is for the 440-4 barrel non-high-performance (350 horsepower).
All Hursts came with the "E86" 440-4 barrel high performance engine with 375 horsepower, also known as the 440-TNT, so far as I know. Surely it was underrated.
I'm not the expert on this subject, just reporting on what I've found out.
