Vehicle Description
1984 Oldsmobile Cutlass Hurst/Olds After the Cutlass line was split between the front wheel drive A-body Cutlass Ciera and the rear wheel drive G-body Cutlass Supreme in 1982, GM again offered a limited edition Hurst/Olds - it was the 15th anniversary of the first Hurst/Olds introduced in 1968.  The Hurst Lightning Rod floor shifter was introduced in the '83 H/O. For the 15th Anniversary Edition, the '83 H/O came only in black with silver rocker panels.  In 1984 the colors were reversed, and silver dominated the upper 2/3 of the car and black was on the rockers.  Red interiors and the essential lightning rod shifter configuration were on the 3001 units produced that year. For consignment, a 1984 Oldsmobile Hurst/Olds that's created some distance from original configuration, and that distance was probably gained ¼ mile at a time. Because they are special G-bodies, the Hurst Oldsmobiles were inevitably compared to Buick Grand Nationals, but could never keep up. That shouldn't be a problem with this modded Cutlass. Note:  Due to modifications of the emissions control devices installed by the manufacturer, please check your local, state, and federal laws to determine if this vehicle is applicable for use on public highways in your area  Exterior The car retains its unique Hurst Olds livery with Silver Metallic paint over a black base separated by a wide red stripe that follows the curve of the wheel openings and continues on the bumpers to completely circumnavigate that car. A double accent stripe on the shoulder is black and red and a fixed wing is mounted on the rear decklid. A large cowl induction hood scoop has been added and opens with the curvature of the windshield.  Removable T-tops allow for some open air cruising but are probably best left in place for the track where the 15-inch Weld Drag Lite wheels will perform their job on staggered size tires.  Reverse lights are embedded in a clear lens bar and reflector that stretches from vertical brake light to vertical brake light, a great design in the back where we also find a shutoff switch. Imperfections include peeling clear, various scrapes, and bubbling along the lower, black painted section including the front bumper, and a nasty little ding and scratch on the hood. Interior Standard GM G-body door panels here with door pulls, plastic armrests, and various controls. The armrests here are misshaped as a result of butting up against the roll cage. That's right, an 8-point roll cage wears 5-point racing harnesses and has been painted maroon to match the interior Dark Maple Red motif which continues on the standard velour front bucket seats, showing a bit of age but fully intact. The rear bench is still in place with the same stitched patterns of the velour we find in the front. The well patinated steering wheel is the stock version but shares the GM column with a big tachometer and shift light which mostly obscures the factor gauge cluster although the small gauges and idiot light display can be seen on the right. Burlwood applique adorns the dash including the center square which houses heater controls and an aftermarket AM/FM/Cassette radio. Below that, some auxiliary gauges in a twin pod leading to the center console where a Hurst Quarter Stick shifter resides. No gear indicator needed here, if we're moving forward, we're in the right gear! Low pile dark red carpet covers the floor showing some definite usage while the headliner behind the T's is uncovered. A fuel cell, battery box, and roll cage mounts are the only occupants of the trunk. Drivetrain With the wheel wells removed, the engine has plenty of room in the bay and no impediment to front suspension pieces. What's in place is a 415ci Dart small block Chevrolet V8 with a hydraulic roller cam, Air Flow Research heads, a Quickfuel 4-barrel carburetor and headers. The transmission is a TH400 3-speed automatic with a reverse manual valve body that s |
