1975 HURST/OLDS W-30, #'s matching 455 - CALIFORNIA BLUE PLATE CAR, RECENTLY MOVED TO THE EAST COAST - RUST FREE BARN FIND - SOLID CAR - RUNS AND DRIVES GREAT!!! ONE WOMAN OWNER, STORED FOR 15 years on her California Almond farm!!!#'S MATCHING 455 BIG BLOCK V8, TH400, FACTORY WHITE W/BLACK LANDAU TOP, THE RAREST COMBO, 1 OF 2,535, T-TOPS!This 1975 Oldsmobile Cutlass Hurst/Olds W-30 is the big 455 V8 machine with a cool color combo, exclusive T-tops, and ton of vintage style. So it's the car you never saw coming, but after you dig into the details, you'll realize it's very worthy of putting some money into as it's a solid investment.The Hurst/Olds has been the awesome muscle car treat that ranked even above the 442 for many years, and the 1975 car was one of the most unique ever. It was a single-year design that traded in the Colonnade profile for a more formal roofline with a half vinyl top. But the real story was the T-tops that were exclusive to this gen's year only. The recipe proved popular for its time. They sold 2,535 examples, and that was quite a bit for these expensive coupes back in 1975... but over 45 years later, you know it's exceptionally rare to find one today. Especially this one with the 455 motor and the history that this car has. The paint is mostly original and the car exhibits battle scars BUT NO RUST as is SO common with these cars. The faded Hurst gold pinstripe kit shows off the straightness of the sheetmetal and the special louver trim hood. Even the Super Sport III wheels were specially painted which makes for quite a sharp-looking classic Olds.When you have the roof open along with the doors, it makes for a terrific way to showcase those cool swiveling front bucket seats. The white upholstery even has the correct reversible inserts in the front buckets. It's a largely stock and original style. There are a few well-placed upgrades to keep this a better cruiser, including an AM/FM radio and provisions for R134a air conditioning (updated and blows ICE COLD). You also have great factory features like power windows and a center console. As a true Hurst/Olds you have a driver-oriented machine. That's why there's the special Oldsmobile sports steering wheel on the tilt column, and the dash wraps around you. Plus, you have the hallmark Hurst dual gate shifter prominently in the center of the car. This particular car also is eqipped with the VERY RARE H/O Digital Tachometer ahead of the shifter - try finding on of those!The W30 designation has always been important to Oldsmobile, and this is no different. It means this one came optioned with the big 455 cubic-inch V8, and it's great to have that numbers matching mighty displacement still under the hood today! Horsepower ratings were down in this era, but with this much size, you have a torque monster that has plenty of low-end muscle. It inhales deeply with a four-barrel carburetor, and it exhales with a proper V8 tune from the now CAT LESS dual exhaust, she has a nice rumble - make sure to see the YouTuve video! The TH400 three-speed transmission is ideal for smooth shifting when you want easy driving and stout construction when you want to enjoy the dual-gate shifter. Add in power steering, power brakes, front discs, and a rear sway bar, and this rare Olds is also a terrific all-around driver. The rear gears are the standard 2:56's.The car could use some TLC if you'd like to take it to the next level, but that won't stop you from enjoying it today. Remember ORIGINAL MEANS 46 YEARS OLD, and while al the mechanical aspects of the car are up to date and safe, the paint does have some flaws and visible checking, and there are dents and scuffs here and there. The selling point of this car is the fact that it's a RUST FREE California born and raised 455 Hurst Olds. 116K ORIGINAL MILESSome of the recent investments to this car:REBUILT T400 (#'s matching W/ NEW TORQUE CONVERTER AND SHIFT KIT) REBUILT BY DYNAMIC TRANSMISION.NEW 2.5" DUAL EXHAUST WITH STAINLESS MUFFFLERS.NEW TIRES.ALL NEW BRAKES.NEW GM SHOCKS.A/C CHARGED.CARB TUNED.
