<p><b>Hurst Performance, Inc.</b> was an American manufacturer and marketer of automobile performance parts, most notably for <a href="Muscle_car" title="Muscle car">muscle cars</a>.

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2></div>

<p>Hurst Performance was originally named <b>Hurst-Campbell</b>. The company was established in 1958 as an auto repair shop when George Hurst and Bill Campbell were both young men. The original shop was located on Glenside Ave. in <a href="Glenside%2C_Pennsylvania" title="Glenside, Pennsylvania">Glenside, Pennsylvania</a>. They later moved to a large building on the corner of Street Road and Jacksonville Road in Warminster, PA. An older man named Lawrence Greenwald (who is credited, among other things, as one of the inventors of stretch <a href="Nylon" title="Nylon">nylon</a> <a href="Hosiery" title="Hosiery">hosiery</a>), took certain cars from his collection to Hurst's shop for repair. Greenwald saw promise in Hurst and Campbell and decided to finance them in a venture to manufacture large <a href="Aftermarket_(automotive)" class="mw-redirect" title="Aftermarket (automotive)">aftermarket</a> bumpers for <a href="Volkswagen" title="Volkswagen">VW</a> <a href="Volkswagen_Type_2" title="Volkswagen Type 2">buses</a>, which were becoming increasingly popular.

</p><p>When Volkswagen began manufacturing its own large bumpers for the buses, Hurst-Campbell branched out into the piston-driven gearshift business. They also manufactured, at various times, engine mounts, wheels, and shift knobs in addition to its line of gearshifts.

</p><p>The company's research department developed and invented the <a href="Jaws_of_Life" class="mw-redirect" title="Jaws of Life">Jaws of Life</a>. The product was spun off and sold separately when it was owned by <a href="Dick_Chrysler" title="Dick Chrysler">Dick Chrysler</a>.

</p>

<p>By the early 1960s, Hurst transmission shifters and other products had become legendary in <a href="Auto_racing" title="Auto racing">auto racing</a>, particularly in <a href="Drag_racing" title="Drag racing">drag racing</a>, and among <a href="Custom_car" title="Custom car">custom car</a> makers. Many automobile enthusiasts replaced basic factory floor and column-mounted <a href="Gear_stick" title="Gear stick">gear shifts</a> with custom Hurst floor shifters to obtain better control of gear selection, particularly for competitive driving.<sup id="cite_ref-mueller_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-mueller-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> As automotive historian Mike Mueller noted, the aura of a Hurst brand shifter became so great that "If you didn't have a Hurst shifter in your supercar, you were a mild-mannered loser."<sup id="cite_ref-mueller_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-mueller-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> General Motors' official policy up to that time had prohibited the use of the names of outside vendors on GM products. Although various Pontiac models had already been factory equipped with Hurst shifters, Division manager Elliot "Pete" Estes convinced GM that having the Hurst name on its cars' shifters would be an effective sales tool.<sup id="cite_ref-mueller_1-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-mueller-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Beginning in 1965 it did.

</p><p>George Hurst expanded into other specialty performance products during the 1960s by acquiring Schiefer Manufacturing, a manufacturer of <a href="Clutch" title="Clutch">clutches</a><sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and Airheart, which manufactured <a href="Brake" title="Brake">brake</a> systems.<sup id="cite_ref-newhardt_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-newhardt-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>In 1968, Greenwald and Hurst took the <a href="Public_company" title="Public company">company public</a> in an <a href="Initial_public_offering" title="Initial public offering">IPO</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-newhardt_3-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-newhardt-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The company was acquired in 1970 by <a href="Sunbeam_Products" title="Sunbeam Products">Sunbeam Products</a>, a manufacturer of <a href="Small_appliance" title="Small appliance">small appliances</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-newhardt_3-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-newhardt-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Hurst was promised an executive position and seat on the <a href="Board_of_directors" title="Board of directors">board of directors</a> as part of the buyout, but Sunbeam did not follow through.<sup id="cite_ref-newhardt_3-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-newhardt-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> (According to one variation of this account, Sunbeam specifically informed Mr. Greenwald and Mr. Hurst that they would no longer be affiliated with the company.) Greenwald fully retired at age 67.

</p><p>George Hurst died in 1986.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Lawrence Greenwald died of natural causes in 1986.

</p><p>In 1987, the Hurst operations were sold by Sunbeam and became part of the Mr. Gasket Company.

</p><p>In 2007, B&M Racing and Performance Products bought the Hurst brand.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>A subsidiary, called Hurst Performance Vehicles, was established in 2008 to create new renditions of Hurst vehicles that included the Hurst Challenger, Hurst Viper, and the Hurst Camaro.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
