Few cars represent the golden age of muscle better than a 1969 Hurst/Olds. By teaming with Hurst to build a special edition, limited production car, Olds was able to circumvent GM’s rule prohibiting engines larger than 400 cubic inches in intermediate cars. The Hurst/Olds comes armed with the W-46 455, a 380 horsepower Rocket with W-30 heads, cam, and distributor. The best part about this motor is the brutal 500 lb/ft of torque. This beautiful example proudly features its original, numbers matching engine. When coupled with the performance tuned Turbo Hydra-matic 400, this Olds leaves with the best of ‘em. Of course, a highlight of the package is the trick Hurst Dual-Gate shifter. It allows fully automatic operation, or you can use it as a manual ratchet shifter. The color scheme for ‘69 is Cameo White with Hurst Firefrost Gold accent stripes and black pinstriping. The effect is stunning, and it makes a ‘69 Hurst/Olds instantly recognizable. If the paint isn’t enough, the car has a unique hood scoop (with bold H/O 455 callouts) that works with the air cleaner to provide a functional forced air system, a massive rear wing, Olds SSII wheels and special British-sourced mirrors. The interior is pure Oldsmobile, with an ornate pattern on the doors, tilt steering column, bucket seats, and walnut-pattern woodgrain on the dash and center console. One more thing. This car is hallowed ground. The First Lady of Motorsports, Miss Hurst Golden Shifter, the Lovely Linda Vaughn personally signed the inside of the decklid.
