This one is number 217 on the Hurst/Olds registry. The odometer shows 86326 believe to be actual. Here is a brief history of the 1969 Hurst/Olds: The 1969 H/O was a follow-on to the relatively sedate looking '68. The '69 was painted Cameo White with Firefrost Gold striping wild looking mailbox hood scoops and a rear deck spoiler that nicely rounded out the back. The '69 H/O was a combination of luxury options in addition to a brute force performance package. Commonly known as the 'Rich Man's Hot Rod' the H/O had it all. Distinctive looks and an awesome powerplants that held its own on the street and strip. The list of options on these cars is quite extensive starting with air conditioning and special dual racing mirrors that were imported from England. The transmissions were given special attention with a mild stall converter included. To compliment the 'OH' Turbo 400 was a Hurst Dual/Gate Shifter that had the mild mannered street side and the other side for serious race shifting. The W-46 option included W-30 heads that helped make a stump pulling 500 lbs of torque and the camshaft was just right to keep those front disc brakes with enough vacuum to stop the 3700 lb beast after a run down the 1/4 mile. The hood scoops are a functional ram air system that helps feed fresh cool air into the 455 cubic inch powerplants. The spoiler was designed after a Cessna airplane parked at the Lansing Airport. It actually provides 15 lbs of downforce at 60 mph and 64 lbs at 120 mph. The wheels were SS-IIs with the chrome 'built-in' the wheel (no trim ring) and were H/O only items. The 1969 Hurst/Olds started it's life as an ordinary 442 implanted with a 455 and all the extras were added. What a package Dr. Oldsmobile and Hurst put together!MANUFACTURERS SUGGESTED LIST PRICE FOR HURST/OLDS MOD
