Vehicle Description
This is a rare and distinctive collectable from an era where we got
very few. Oldsmobile brought us back into the muscle cars days with
a taste of the performance we all love. The 1983 Oldsmobile
Hurst/Olds name was resurrected in time for the partnership's 15th
anniversary and celebrated with this low production run of V8
coupes.
The Hurst/Olds was never about being subtle, and this '83 continues
the grand tradition with an awesome black-over-silver paint job,
blacked-out trim, and red stripes. Plus, the aggressive spoilers
and hood scoop let you know this meant business. The transformed
Cutlass looks fantastic in its war paint, and this one has held up
well over the last 35+ years. It helps that this example has travel
a mere 35,949 since it was new and the condition of the paint is
showing exceptionally well. The decals remain firmly affixed to the
sheetmetal, and all the parts unique to the Hurst cars are intact.
These details really tell you this is a cherished coupe, and we
certainly understand why. Production was limited to 3001 examples,
so collectors snatched them up and protected them from the rigors
of daily use.

Inside, the Hurst/Olds has bucket seats and a proper center
console, something few other Oldsmobiles of the era can claim. The
gray cloth goes well with the exterior color, especially when it
has been this well preserved. But the real exciting thing everyone
will be looking at is the special three-lever Hurst Lightning
shifter setup that gives full manual control of the automatic
transmission underneath. This a true premium coupe, loaded with
power windows, power locks, cruise control, and tilt wheel. All of
it looks original and complete right down to the factory
AM/FM/cassette stereo.
Oldsmobile utilized their rugged and torquey 307 cubic inch V8 for
Hurst duty. Fortified with a four-barrel carburetor and rumbling
dual exhaust, it provides the kind of old-school muscle that few
others offered in the '80s. Just like the rest of the car's
originality, this is the numbers-matching motor, and it even comes
with a hit of flash on the factory chrome air cleaner. You saw the
triple-stalk Hurst shifter in the interior, and on the road, it
allows you to get the most out of the motor. Plus, on days when you
want to take it easy, just simply let the four-speed automatic
w/overdrive shift itself. In fact, this one has other great
features for both cruising and performance driving such as power
steering, power brakes w/discs up front, sway bars front & rear,
and BF Goodrich Eagle GT tires on special redline Super Stock ll
wheels.
The sale comes with paperwork that you want on a well-preserved
