Details: This is rare and distinctive collectable from an era where we got very few. Oldsmobile brought us back into the muscle cars days with a taste of the performance we all love. The 1983 Hurst/Olds Cutlass moniker was resurrected in time for the partnerships 15th anniversary and celebrated with this low production run of V8 coupes. Amazinglyand#44; this particular example is a 1-owner vehicle its entire life-very rare to find these days!


The Hurst/Olds was never about being subtleand#44; and this 83 continues the grand tradition with an awesome black-over-silver paint joband#44; blacked-out trimand#44; and red stripes. Plusand#44; the aggressive spoilers and hood scoop let you know this meant business. The transformed Cutlass looks fantastic in its war paintand#44; and this one has held up well over the last 30+ years. Averaging less than 2and#44;500 annuallyand#44; the condition of the original paint is showing exceptionally well. The decals remain firmly affixed to the sheetmetaland#44; and all the parts unique to the Hurst cars are intact. These details really tell you this was a cherished coupeand#44; and we certainly understand why. Production was limited to 3001 examplesand#44; so collectors snatched them up and protected them from the rigors of daily use. The formal GM G-body shape works remarkably well with the aggressive Hurst upgrades and removing all the chrome does wonders for the transformation from plush luxury cruiser to street brawler.


Insideand#44; the Hurst/Olds got bucket seats and a proper consoleand#44; something few other Oldsmobiles of the era can claim. The maroon cloth strikes a nice balance between premium and aggressiveand#44; especially when it has been this well preserved. But the real party piece everyone will be looking at is the special three-lever Hurst Lightning shifter setup that gives full manual control of the automatic transmission underneath. Its this special structure that also makes the factory upgrade to a full round gauge pack so helpful. After alland#44; the factory tach will be useful in this Hurst/Olds. As a true premium coupeand#44; it came loaded with power windowsand#44; power locksand#44; cruise controland#44; and tilt wheel. All of it looks original and complete right down to the factory AM/FM stereo. This one comes with the desirable T-topsand#44; and thanks to ice-cold air conditioningand#44; you can take them out any time of the year.


Oldsmobile performance amounted to their rugged and torquey 307 cubic inch V8and#44; which it turns out is virtually indestructible. Fortified with a four-barrel carburetor and rumbling dual exhaustand#44; it provides the kind of old-school muscle that few others offered in the 80s. Just like the rest of the cars originalityand#44; this is the numbers-matching motorand#44; and it even comes with a hit of flash on the factory chrome air cleaner lid. You saw the triple-stalk Hurst shifter in the interiorand#44; and on the road it allows you to get the most out of the motor. Plusand#44; on days when you want to take it easyand#44; just simply let the four-speed overdrive automatic shift itself. In factand#44; this one has other great features for both cruising and performance driving such as power steeringand#44; front disc brakesand#44; and flashy Oldsmobile Rally wheels with Goodyear Eagle tires.


This 80s street beast comes with the maintenance recordsand#44; so you know it has had top-notch care. These cool Hurst/Olds coupes are the kinds of cars that will be tomorrows collectablesand#44; but youll be having too much fun driving it to worry about the next guy. Call today!!!
