"THE
HAIRIEST OLDSMOBILE" Mr. Hurst and Dr. Oldsmobile build
the mind shatter...Article, June 1969 Motor Trend Magazine.
The Hurst/Olds is intended to be a kind of an American Grand
Touring machine, and succeeds admirably! It accelerates
like a rocket sled, 380hp @5000 RPM with 500lbs of torque @ 3200
RPM, 10.0:1 compression make this monster of a beast! Just
out of the paint shop, this 69 Hurst olds HO 455 car is a true
#'s matching car. Stripped down to the bare metal, a
ground up restoration, with all it's original sheet metal.
Solid orig. floor pans, with an excellent frame.
Refinished in PPG2 stage base coat clear coat system.
Correct formula for the gold accent, hand painted 1/8 black pin
striping. Our research indicates the stripe was painted
form the factory. Countless hours to the body panels for
straightness. New Bullet mirrors, complete new tail light
bezels, lenses, side marker lights, complete weather strip kit.
Hurst emblems and decals, not yet shown. No expense spared
in this extremely rare, low production, most sought after Olds.
1 of 906. Options are: factory air, tinted glass, PW,
tilt, deluxe steering wheel and AM radio. There is still
lots to do on this rare Olds 442. Numbers match 455/380hp
Rocket engine, rebuilt .060 over, standard rod, standard main
bearing, new Eagle rods. The heads were ported, polished,
Eaton racing hydraulic lifters, comp cam magnum roller tip
rockers, new set of 5/16" guide plates and Poly lock locking
nuts. Smith Bros. oil restrictive pushrods. $2189.00
spent on the head work alone. ARP head bolts. We
have a set of new Hooker performance headers, but in search of
the orig. factory exhaust manifolds. Rebuilt #'s matching
TH400 trans, new TCI performance 2400 stall converter.
Next, we will tackle the underside and engine bay.
Detailing factory undercoating should be a real task to remove,
but the floors and frame are fantastic! We are gong all
out on this extremely rare, early production car. 57,043
actual miles. Demmers Report indicates this is #19 car in
the registry. Copies of Demmers delivery receipts, also,
Hurst performance research corp. dated 4/7/69. We are
excited to have such a rare example, and with any luck to have
it completed sometime this summer. Restoring a car of this
caliber takes lots of time, research and patience, not to
mention the cost! This is not just any car, it's a true
piece of Olds Muscle Car History...well worth it. |
