At SEMA last year, the legendary shifter company Hurst made huge waves with its Hemi Challenger. We've been following Hurst's progress of the cars ever since, and even got the chance to get behind the wheel of the prototype car for a brief stint. We recently made the trip down to Hurst Performance Vehicles' headquarters in Irvine, CA to see just how stock Challengers are transformed into one of their limited edition muscle cars.
How It's Made: Hurst Hemi Dodge Challenger |

The gold Viper that shows up on the photo header from Barrett Jackson Jan '09 is also a Hurst.

The one I saw was a white vert with gold stripes. I can't believe I didn't take pics. It's a local car I'm told so I'll see it again.
