“We are extremely proud to offer another milestone Hurst vehicle,” states Nate Shelton, Chairman of Hurst Performance Vehicles. “The 50 year legacy of Hurst is matched by very few companies; it is truly something to celebrate. We are looking forward to 50 more years of delivering Hurst performance and value to our fans and enthusiasts.”
