After the rise, and subsequent fall of the factory Muscle-Car wars
of the 1960's and into the early '70's, there were very few
offerings from any manufacture for anything remotely resembling
high performance. Pontiac's Trans Am and Chevrolet's Corvette come
to mined off the bat. Fords only pony car that blasted into the
youth scene along with the Beatles just some10 years earlier had
now become nothing more than an economy car with some fairly cool
graphics.
Oldsmobile was one of the last “Gaspers” to offer at least some
degree of performance and diminishing hope to a public that had all
but moved on to the likes of over-sized family sedans, and
the impending push of foreign economy cars.
This car is indeed one of the last, rarely seen examples of the
absolute tail-end of the Factory built post Muscle Car era Muscle
cars. Oldsmobile had a ground-pounding killer in 1969 with their
Cutlass A body linked to Hurst performance. The Hurst Olds' was an
“Over-the-Top” looking, true high performance muscle-car that was a
force to be reckoned with!
To find a decent example of one today is not only difficult, but
bordering on ridiculously expensive when you do find one.
Now, 1975 was not the planets shining moment in terms of the
automotive industry, but through that dimly lit era, there were a
few shiny gems.
The Hurst Old's soldiered on through the dark ages of automotive
history to come out on the other end as a proud, standing-tall
example of perseverance.
Take a look at this one of 1,293 examples of the Cameo white model
(the other only optional color was Ebony black, 1,242 units) that
has not only survived the last 40+ years, but wears it's original
paint, interior, W-30 455 CID engine (W-25 would have been a 350)
and all of the unique options that make the Hurst Old's very
special.
Rally HD suspension, Power front disc brakes, 442 louvered hood,
Sport Mirrors, Swivel Bucket seats, console with Hurst Dual-Gate
shifter, Hurst/Old's Emblems, to name a few.
This Hurst Old's is a fine example of an original, un-restored,
unusual, and as mentioned above, rarely seen piece of the last of
the Muscle-car warriors! Original, comfortable to drive, open-air
option, well appointed...Cool car!
