Lovers of Olds performance take notice. Here's the swan song of the Hurst partnership. This 1984 Oldsmobile Cutlass Hurst/Olds with the cool lightning rod shifter, is one of only 3,500 that were built for the final year. So a loaded T-top coupe like this is rarely so affordable. We believe this is the original factory-applied silver and black, which has an exclusive layout just for 1984. The red stripes highlight some nice curves on the otherwise well-creased design. Plus, the hood scoop and deck lid spoiler practically scream "high performance." It's a design that gets to attract as much attention as a Buick Grand National for a fraction of the price. Inside, the Hurst/Olds got bucket seats and a proper console, something few other Oldsmobiles of the era can claim. The burgundy 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 Rod 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 tach will be extra helpful in this Hurst/Olds. As a true premium coupe, it came loaded with a power driver's seat, power windows, power locks, electric rear defrost, cruise control, and tilt wheel. And to make sure you can cruise with the best tunes, the radio has been upgraded to an AM/FM/CD stereo with aux input. This one comes with the desirable T-tops, and thanks to an upgrade to R134a air conditioning, you can take them out and still stay as cool as you look. This Hurst/Olds is correctly powered by a 307 cubic-inch V8. This motor is rugged, torquey, had been properly maintained, which makes it easy to enjoy out on the open road. Fortified with a Quadrajet four-barrel carburetor and rumbling dual exhaust, the V8 provides the kind of old-school muscle that few others offered in the '80s. You saw the triple-stalk Hurst shifter in the interior, and out on the road, it allows you to get the most out of the V8. And on days when you want to take it easy, the four-speed can shift itself for comfortable overdrive cruising. This one has more great features for both cruising and performance driving such as power steering, front disc brakes, and sway bars front & rear. It's all capped off by those flashy Oldsmobile Rallye wheels that have a great red trim ring to match the rest of the car, and they are mounted to proper BF Goodrich T/A tires. Complete with the original bill of sale and owner's manual, this is the final year for the legend. So don't let something this iconic and so complete slip away. Call today!!!
