In 1970, Chrysler introduced the Dodge Challenger and Plymouth Barracuda models with a must have option, The Hurst Pistol Grip Shifter. A collaboration between Chrysler and Hurst engineers, this "Pistol Grip" was something of a revelation in the automotive industry. It became one of the iconic features of both Hurst and the Dodge Challenger/Plymouth Barracuda, from the past all the way through today's new Challengers. In fact, Chrysler and Hurst engineers are still collaborating today ??? but this time on the newest Challengers. Much of the same design and tooling that was used on the 1970 Challenger T/A and Plymouth Cuda AAR is used today to manufacture these reproduction Hurst Pistol Grip Handles and Sticks with the same materials and construction methods but with one main difference: these reproduction handles incorporate Hurst's standard 2-bolt connection. These handles will fit on ANY Hurst aftermarket shifter that has a Hurst standard 2-bolt connection lower stick. From an original 19770 Dodge Challenger or Plymouth Barracuda equipped with an aftermarket Hurst Competition Plus Shifter to a modern brand-new Dodge Challenger equipped with an aftermarket Hurst Billet Plus Shifter; these handles just bolt-on!

Hurst Performance is an aftermarket company that was established back in 1958 as an auto repair shop. It was initially named as Hurst-Campbell after its founders George Hurst and Bill Campbell.
They manufactured aftermarket bumpers for VW buses which were popular at the time. Later on, they shifted to manufacturing piston-driven gearshifts, and the rest is history. Today, they have become the leading brand when it comes to transmission shifters and is recognized all over the globe.
It was in the 1960s when Hurst became popular in the racing world. They have become the brand of choice of various drag racers and custom car builders. Their shifter was the best replacement for those flimsy factory shifters that allow the user better control, which is needed especially when it comes to competitive driving.
Hurst shifters were so good that various US automakers such as General Motors used their shifters as Original Equipment for their vehicle line up. By adding the Hurst brand on their vehicle, it helped the company increase its vehicle sale.
Hurst has been an icon in the automotive industry. And in 2008, Hurst Performance vehicles created modern renditions such as the Hurst Viper, Hurst Challenger, and Hurst Camaro.
