Vehicle Description
This 1975 Oldsmobile Cutlass Hurst/Olds W-30 is the big 455 V8
machine with a cool color combo, exclusive T-tops, and ton of
vintage style. So it's the car you never saw coming, but after you
dig into the details, you'll realize it's the one you've always
wanted.
The Hurst/Olds has been the awesome muscle car treat that ranked
even above the 442 for many years, and the 1975 car was one of the
most unique ever. It was a single-year design that traded in the
Colonnade profile for a more formal roofline with a half vinyl top.
But the real story was the T-tops that were exclusive to this gen's
year only. The recipe proved popular for its time. They sold 2,535
examples, and that was quite a bit for these expensive coupes back
in 1975... but over 45 years later, you know it's exceptionally
rare to find one today. Especially this one with the larger motor
and the desirable black color combo. The paint was updated later in
life where it has a fair gloss but nothing too fancy to make you
afraid to cruise this open-top Olds. Plus, it has the special Hurst
gold pinstripe kit that shows off the straightness of the
sheetmetal and the special louver trim hood. Even the Super Sport
III wheels were specially painted in gold. It makes for quite a
sharp-looking classic.
When you have the roof open and the doors, it makes for a terrific
way to showcase those cool swiveling front bucket seats. The white
upholstery even has the correct reversible inserts in the front
buckets. It's a largely stock and original style. There are a few
well-placed upgrades to keep this a better cruiser, including an
AM/FM digital tuner w/cassette and provisions for R134a air
conditioning (needs servicing to blow cold again.) You also have
great factory features like power windows and a center console. As
a true Hurst/Olds you have a driver-oriented machine. That's why
there's the special Oldsmobile sports steering wheel on the tilt
column, and the dash wraps around you. Plus, you have the hallmark
Hurst dual gate shifter prominently in the center of the car.
The W30 designation has always been important to Oldsmobile, and
this is no different. It means this one came optioned with the big
455 cubic-inch V8, and it's great to have that numbers matching
mighty displacement still under the hood today! Horsepower ratings
were down in this era, but with this much size, you have a torque
monster that has plenty of low-end muscle. It inhales deeply with a
four-barrel carburetor, and it exhales with a proper V8 tune from
the dual exhaust. The TH400 three-speed transmission is ideal for
smooth shifting when you want easy driving and stout construction
when you want to enjoy the dual-gate shifter. Add in power
steering, power brakes, front discs, and a rear sway bar, and this
rare Olds is also a terrific all-around driver.
The sale comes complete with the owner's manual, service manuals,
and maintenance records. Rarity, muscle, and awesome style all come
together for a terrific price. Don't miss this deal. Call
