Yesterday I was surfing around on nbc.com and came across Jay Leno’s Garage. As you may know, Jay Leno has stepped out of the late night spotlight. However Jay, is following his passion for cars through this new show. Jay is a car nut and private collector of many different rare and custom rides. Sounds a lot like me (the car nut part, without the collection). Anyways, what caught my eye was a video on the 2009 Hurst Challenger.

Hurst is a company known for it’s shifters. In my opinion, they make some of the greatest shifters on the planet. After driving my brother’s Hurst equipped 67′ Chevelle, I can say that with experience. He has the V-Matic 2 model, for automatic, with normal and ratcheting modes. Hurst has also been known for building special edition cars. Their first custom production car was the 442 Hurst Olds back in 1968. This would be the first of many special edition cars. Jay Leno shows us this new rare 2009 Hurst Challenger. Check out the video below of this sweet ride.
