Vehicle Description
Route 61 Classics is proud to offer a true piece of American muscle
car and motorsports history: this authentic 1972 Oldsmobile
Hurst/Olds Pace Car. A genuine W45 example, this car retains its
original, numbers-matching drivetrain and is backed by its original
build sheet and owner's manuals-a rare and significant combination
for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
At its heart is the numbers-matching 455 CI V8 engine, paired to
its original Turbo 400 automatic transmission. Fuel delivery is
handled by the correct 7042251 Rochester Quadrajet carburetor,
completing a factory-accurate powertrain that offers both
performance and provenance.
The car is finished in Cameo White with factory-correct gold
reflective fade-out striping and official Indianapolis 500 decals,
just like the ones used to pace the Indy 500. The fiberglass Ram
Air hood is fully functional, complete with dual air intakes and
hood pins-adding both performance and classic muscle flair.
The black vinyl interior features bucket seats and the iconic His &
Her Hurst dual-gate shifter. Additional features include power
steering, power brakes, and the original 14" Super Stock III wheels
that complete the signature Hurst look.
This 1972 Hurst/Olds is the real deal-an unrepeatable blend of
originality, documentation, and limited-production pedigree. If
you're looking for a collector-grade car that represents the golden
era of muscle cars and factory performance, this is it.
At Route 61 Classics, we value honesty, documentation, and helping
buyers make informed decisions. Our detailed listings and
transparent pricing ensure you know exactly what you're buying
before it reaches your driveway. Reach out today to make this
documented, numbers-matching Hurst/Olds yours.
