Up for auction is a very rare, complete, all original, numbers matching Hurst Olds W-30. Under 1200 of these cars were made in black and gold, with white interior. This car needs complete restoration. Car runs like a watch, with only 70,368 original miles. It has a 455, turbo 400 trans, 10 bolt posi, original ralley steering wheel, factory Hurst dual gate shifter with console, and swivel bucket seats with reversible cushions. All the badges are still intact, inside and out. Minimal rust with a dent in the drivers side quarter panel, a crack in the drivers side T-Top. If you have any questions, please email me. The Hurst/Olds in 1975 was the first General Motors car to have "Hurst/Hatch" removable T-Top style roof installed. The car is based on the formal-roofed Cutlass Supreme coupe rather than the semi-fastback Cutlass S used in 1973-74. The car was available in either black or white, with either a black or white half vinyl top offset by a wide aluminum band. Either a W-25, equipped with an Oldsmobile 350 engine, or a W-30, equipped with an Oldsmobile 455 engine could be had. Due the environmental regulations at the time, this was the first year that the United States Environmental Protection Agency mandated the addition of catalytic converters mounted in the exhaust system. Due to the added expense, only single exhaust was available. The hood from the 1974 Hurst/Olds, with the center mounted louvers, carried over. Gold stripes adorned the sides of the car, as well as the trunk, hood, and mirrors. The car also carried gold 15"x7" Super Stock III Oldsmobile rims. Interiors were similar to 1974 except for revised door panels and new reversible vinyl/velour seat cushions and backs for the all-vinyl Strato bucket seats. The interior color combination on '75 Hurst/Olds was white seats and door panels, and black carpet, dashboard, steering wheel and console.
