Oldsmobile brought us back into the muscle cars days with a taste of the performance we all love. The 1983 hurst/olds cutlass moniker was resurrected in time for the partnership's 15th anniversary and celebrated with this low production run of v8 coupes. Amazingly, this particular example is a 1-owner vehicle it's entire life-very rare to find these days! 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. The transformed cutlass looks fantastic in its war paint, and this one has held up well over the last 30+ years. Averaging less than 2,500 annually, the condition of the original paint is showing exceptionally well. The decals remain firmly affixed to the sheetmetal, and all the parts unique to the hurst cars are intact. Production was limited to 3001 examples, so collectors snatched them up and protected them from the rigors of daily use. The formal gm g-body shape works remarkably well with the aggressive hurst upgrades and removing all the chrome does wonders for the transformation from plush luxury cruiser to street brawler. Inside, the hurst/olds got bucket seats and a proper console, something few other oldsmobiles of the era can claim. The maroon cloth strikes a nice balance between premium and aggressive, especially when it has been this well preserved. But the real party piece everyone will be looking at is the special three-lever hurst lightning shifter setup that gives full manual control of the automatic transmission underneath. It's this special structure that also makes the factory upgrade to a full round gauge pack so helpful. After all, the factory tach will be useful in this hurst/olds. As a true premium coupe, it came 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 stereo. Oldsmobile performance amounted to their rugged and torquey 307 cubic inch v8, which it turns out is virtually indestructible. 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 lid.
