1 owner 40 years and he only put 6,500 miles on it! Only 57,526
actual miles since new, this is an unabused survivor. #s matching,
real Hurst Olds. Only 629 made total in 1972.
It is a significant car in muscle car history. This car was
developed by Hurst Performance, not Oldsmobile. Much like a Yenko
or early Shelby's they were new factory built cars then transformed
by a famous performance company. The package offered increased
performance and looks! This was the only time the Indy 500 was not
paced by a car manufacturer. Hurst was the sponsor that placed the
race. Hurst produced cars only 9 times over a 3 decade period, 1972
was the lowest production.
EXTERIOR: The Hurst features a ram air hood, a special paint
scheme, blacked out grills and tail lights, a landau roof and Hurst
emblems. The body is very clean and straight, I did not find any
rust or damage. Everything fits very nicely, the doors click shut.
The Ram Air hood is in excellent shape and fits real nicely. It was
repainted a long time ago and still looks great, it has a smooth
glossy finish. It has the correct fade away reflective stripes. The
stripes are decals and have some imperfections and wrinkles. It has
all original glass. The chrome and trim looks to be be good
original. Rally lll wheels have new BFG tires.
INTERIOR: It has a very nice, all original unabused interior. I'm
looking at a really nice dash area: the knobs, vents, heater
control panel, original AM radio all look great. It has the unique
Hurst emblem. Between the bucket seats is the famous Hurst dual
gate shifter. Original upholstery is very good. The headrests, seat
backs and the seat trim are mint. Original door panels are
excellent. The headliner is mint. Carpet looks great, has correct
floor mats. Original seat belts including the shoulder belts. The
clock works!
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Original VIN number matching 455. All stock:
manifolds, valve covers and complete ram air system. It has factory
air conditioning that works, just serviced it. It looks very
complete and correct: washers are hooked up, correct flaps on the
radiator, " chicken wire" under the hood, GM hose and clamps, under
hood lamp etc. It has power steering and brakes. The master
cylinder and cadmium plated booster look new.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The trunk lid and the jamb are original white
paint and still look real nice. It even has it's original weather
strip from the factory. Inside is dry original metal with gray
spatter paint. It has a correct two piece gray felt mat. The spare
is a matching rally lll wheel on a Goodyear tire. Complete jack
assembly including the lug wrench. It even has it working trunk
light!
UNDERSIDE: under this car is well preserved original maintained as
needed as the rally suspension which includes front and rear sway
bars boxed rear control arms as disc brakes in front drum and back
e-brake is hooked up as a dual exhaust with the trumpet tips going
through the back bumper The oil pan looks clean starter looks brand
new as it's original turbo 400 automatic trans 323 gears and back
all original salad floors braces it's been protected with
rustproofing since no
SERVICE: We inspected the car and service the air conditioning We
replaced the limiter switch POA valve expansion valve and charged
it with R12 Freon
The Hurst name is so prevalent with muscle cars from the beginning
and still to this day. Hurst did not put their name on many cars,
here is a rare and well preserved example. We are talking hundreds
of these were made, not thousands!
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle.
Our salesmen are happy to assist with descriptions and making sure
your questions are answered. One great suggestion is letting us do
a walk around video that explains the car's condition in
detail.
**These cars are displayed in a museum. If interested in a

showroom. If you buy a car, your admission will be refunded and you
