If they don't already know, I need to find a way to break this news to my dad and brother. I hate it, but they will go into mourning.

Hurst shifters, but does anyone else remember the Ansen shifter? Bought a 57 Chevy hardtop that already had one in it.

Crane, Edelbrock, Hurst, Hooker, all those brand names bring back memories. Used to circle these things in the Honest Charley catalog as I built the killer 327 Chevy engine of my dreams. Never got the 327 -- they were too expensive even when hot -- but I did install a Hurst 3-speed shifter in my 56 Chevy two-door post six banger.

Wow. Sorry to hear such an icon in the performance world has left us. Especially sorry for the employees and their families.
