Vehicle Description
Great Lakes Classic Cars proudly introduces and offers this amazing
'Hurst Olds' You Won't Find a Newer, Cleaner, or Nicer Hurst / Olds
Anywhere... Excellent Investment Opportunity! Rare 1 of Only 130
produced and this is a nut and bolt restored in 2010 and awarded
Highest Honors as an accomplished 998 Point out of 1000 Winner! The
History is Great and the Proof is in the pudding or better stated
'In the Cutlass itself' The Amazing quality of this restoration is
second to none and that's not our opinion, that is the opinion of
the revered judges of two National Concours Events held in Illinois
and the other in Massachussets. The first after completion had the
Olds top out at just over 960 points taking top honors for the
event... When you are a brand enthusiast and true collector with
broad experience and knowledge in the make and models you tend to
be a bit compulsive; So the Olds went back to the restorer to fine
tune the screw tips on the Convertible Top that were not as was
when born in 1972. The minute detail was rectified and
re-introduced in front of the experts where it now received an
amazing 998 points and too won top honors. Just to be clear 1000
points belong to new 1972 vehicles literally in or close to 1972
and last I checked my time machine is not working as the chip
shortage has affected us all, even us time travelers... LOL! This
is a Real Deal Oldsmobile with original, matching, and OEM
componentry throughout. Matching Numbers Hurst Olds that has all of
the Pedigree and Documents to go with it. The Pavement Pounding
455ci Beast is Matching as born with including its carburetor,
intake, exhaust manifolds, distributor, and all of its entirety.
The Bellhousing is Correct but has been replaced during
restoration. Rear End is also Original and Born With Matching. Once
assembled this Olds has only had 20 miles put on it and that is
over the past 12 years; The convertible top as all other options
work flawlessly but because of its show and concours potention, not
to mention very particular owner the top has never been down so to
avoid wrinkles. Like I previously mentioned,, 'Compulsive' but in a
very very good way. Facts! Oldsmobile had paced the Indy 500 just
two years earlier with the 4-4-2, but in 1972 teamed up with Hurst
Performance Products to build a modified Cutlass convertible that
is most often referred to simply as the "'72 Hurst/Olds". It was
the first time in Speedway history that an automotive parts
manufacturer's name was included in the pace car title. The car's
455 cubic inch V-8 produced 300hp. The Hurst/Olds was driven by Jim
Rathmann, his second time behind the wheel of the pace car. BTW,,,
We have the detailed build / restoration album that goes with the
car. Only 629 Hurst/Olds Cutlasses were manufactured in 1972 - 130
convertibles and 499 hardtops. We sell and ship worldwide as well
