Vehicle Description
1972 Hurst Olds Pace Car
Why This Car Is Special
In 1972, Hurst Performance was called upon to provide the official
pace car for the Indy 500, and as a result, joined forces with
Oldsmobile to create a limited-run version, the Oldsmobile
Hurst/Olds Pace Car Edition.
These special vehicles marked the first time an automotive
supplier's name was included in a Pace Car's official title, and
the only time an Indy Pace Car was sponsored by anything other than
a mainstream automaker.
This particular example of a 1972 Hurst Olds Pace Car we have here
at Skyway Classics sits in utterly awesome condition with all the
trimmings still attached, correct #11 white paint, very nice
interior, modified 455 engine and drivetrain.
It is powered by a new, modified Mondello Performance engine bored
out to 462 cubic inch mated to a TH400 automatic transmission with
just 750 miles since its installation.
