Working with Hurst on the Pontiac project is Jack "Doc" Watson, the longtime Hurst executive and performance guru, known to muscle-car cognoscenti as The Shifty Doctor.
HPV said it plans to "hand-build" 52 copies of the Hurst/Pontiac G8 H.O., which will get a supercharged engine, suspension modifications, a Hurst shifter, Hurst forged alloy wheels, special interior trim and a choice of white/gold or black/gold exterior paint.
In addition, the company will build 10 Hurst/Pontiac G6 Convertibles, which it said can be used as parade and special-event cars.
GM is discontinuing the Pontiac brand as part of its broader bankruptcy filing and reorganization, and both the G6 and G8 are being taken out of production.
Hurst said customers can check out specs and pricing, starting August 1, at its Web site.
