Vehicle Description
The Mid 80's were strange times for performance car enthusiasts.
The glory days of the muscle car era were now 15 years in the dust.
Car manufactures were promoting miles per gallon instead of
horsepower. Front-wheel drive, fuel injection, strut suspensions,
and electronic dashboards have now taken over the wonderful
simplicity of power with rear wheel application. To celebrate a
fifteen year alliance between performance icon Hurst and
Oldsmobile, the W40 Hurst Oldsmobile 15th Anniversary edition was
created with a back to basics approach: Body on frame construction,
control arm front suspension and a powerful V8 driving a live rear
axle. Production was limited to just 3001 examples, all were built
in Lansing, MI, all were shipped to secondary manufacturer, Cars
and Concepts, for Hurst modifications, all were V8 powered and all
were painted Black with Silver skirt separated with red striping.
The 83 Hurst Olds captured the essence of an era when performance
and style was king.
We are pleased to offer this excellent example (1155 of 3001) of
the 1983 Hurst Oldsmobile 15th Anniversary Edition. This car was
purchased new in Florida. The car is in wonderful shape and factory
options include: 5.0 liter V8, Automatic transmission with the
signature Hurst "Lightning Rod' shifter package with Console, Power
Steering, Power Brakes, Air Conditioning, Cruise, Tilt, AM/FM
Cassette, Power Driver Seat, Power Trunk Release, Clock, Power
Antenna, Dual Mirrors with Inside Adjust, Hurst T-Tops, etc. The
car has always been cared for, never any accidents, and the Black
and Silver paint is in great shape. The interior features the red
cloth that is in excellent shape. Car rides on the factory alloy
wheels.
The relationship between Hurst and Oldsmobile is legendary.
Oldsmobile, being an upscale brand of General Motors, also took its
performance very seriously and its performance based Hurst
Cutlasses remain revered in all automotive circles. The 1983
Anniversary editions are already considered a future classic and
now is an excellent time to exercise the opportunity on an American
automotive investment. This car is a collector item and even comes
with the original bill of sale where it sold for $18,423.
