In 1967 George Hurst and Doc Watson were asked to prepare Pontiac cars for the 67 Mobil economy run. It was reported by Mobil officials that there were hidden fuel bladders in the windshield post on two Bonnevilles that were chosen for the event. The cars achieved a unprecedented 25mpg average, Mobile officials investigated and quickly disqualified the whole Pontiac team ( bad news for Pontiac as they were looking forward to the new OHC six to set records.) John DeLorean was embarrassed over the fiasco, but never admitted to having any knowledge of the cheating.
