Vehicle Description
For sale in our Houston showroom is a 1983 Oldsmobile Cutlass
Hurst. In 1983, looks didn't get much better than this! Only 3,001
examples were built (201 sold in Canada), all of them black with a
silver lower body and red dividing stripe. Special badges, door
graphics, a rear spoiler, and styled steel wheels were part of the
striking exterior package. All of the cars came off Olds' assembly
line in Lansing, MI, and then shipped about 45 miles away to
secondary manufacturer Cars and Concepts, which changed each
Cutlass into a Hurst model. Each carried the order code W-40.
T-tops were an $825 option, and a power moon roof was offered, too.
Performance-wise, every Hurst/Olds packed a four-barrel-fed,
307-cube engine with 180 horsepower, a Hydra-Matic 200-4R overdrive
transmission, and a 3.73 rear axle. Along with its 180 horses was a
solid 245 lb-ft of torque. It was a combination good for 16-second
quarter-miles and 0-60 sprints of about nine seconds. Options
include: A/C (converted to 134a), AM/FM radio, cassette, glass
t-tops, power brakes, power steering, power locks, power windows,
tilt wheel, seat belts, cloth interior, radial tires, and
aluminum/alloy rally wheels. This is a collector's item now, and
will continue to be in the future. Oldsmobile no longer exists and
this unique piece of American history will go down on the record
books. Wouldn't it be neat to own something like this?
...Rhetorical of course. The engine and transmission are original
to the car, however, the mileage is undocumented. Judging by the
overall condition, we'd like to think it is original. This Olds has
been cared for for years and is now in need of a new owner to
appreciate it. Drive, store, show, cruise, invest, do whatever
you'd like. The Hurst will no disappoint. To view the car in
