Sad a very limited production but desirable muscle car fell into the hands of owners whose neglect & indifference let it decline to a poor condition. I agree with others that a potential buyer would be foolish to overpay and then go further down that rabbit hole with a very costly proper restoration. Maybe just bring it back to a "20 footer" driver and with luck the present engine is servicable.

Fantastic meme!!! Just dragged a 71 Chevelle SS out of the trees!!

My first car was a 72 Olds CS , it’s still in my garage..!!

How much did the new owner pay for this olds

These things were very quick. The 360 was often overlooked because of the AMC 401. That motor would run easily with any motor in its class. Long live AMC muscle! 💪🏽

I’ve probably been in at least 1000 barns. I found a few old dried out tires. That’s about it.

Very nice find! Can't say if this H/O 455 of the 70 Torino SCJ drag racer tops it, but you're on to something, keep it rolling. For what it's worth, what's the mileage on this Olds? Thanks! P.S. Drag racing track record, superb fuel economy, and petty insurance for it must have convinced the owner to trade it in for a Gremlin. Change my mind 😁😁😁.

Thank you so much for posting this, Keith was a great man and I enjoyed talking with him on a variety, of topics, including drag racing. He had quite a life story to tell. When Dr. Garner passed, at his funeral in Mesa AZ, they had some of his Wally trophies out to look at, including the US Nationals.

That motor missing just dropped it 50% or more. Too bad he didn’t keep the numbers matching motor. You can’t really call it a restore without the numbers matching engine.

Little old Iowa? That is so so cute

Bagley's garage Lansing Michigan if they still exist may be able to help you find parts also downtown Lansing Michigan Re olds museum would be a great starting point best of luck with your restoration

I thought all 442's had red inner wheel wells in front - ??

I believe the ignition should be on the dash....not on the column

Interior smells as bad as it looks . Then clean it out.

In the late 70's I had a 68 H/O. Bought it for 500 bucks with a blown engine. One the many cars I wish I could have kept. Trunk release is vac operated, oddly enough the power door locks were also vac operated if so optioned.

Very rare!! Like those Grand Prix’s too, hell I drive one; one of the last year models though. Still scoots pretty good

One of my dream cars! 1969’s were some of the best looking Cutlasses!!

What a Awesome find! Have seen 1 of them on the road since the 90's!😊

Nice video. Great car. Not a Cutlass though. Actual 442. Also, I am almost certain this one is a W-45 (non-air). W-45 got more aggressive engine parts and had 10 more hp.

See if that car will run

One of the best cars ever! Next to the Chevy SS 454 And the Buick GS 455 And the Pontiac GTO!😊

That car is screaming RESTORE ME!!!!

I would not worry about the original engine or heads. The Vaunted Oldsmobile D and F heads did not flow any better than the E heads you have or C heads or any of the early big valve olds heads, they are cool as they are what came with the car but there is no performance difference. The original block is nothing different than what you have there except for the casting numbers, again no performance gain. Being that it no longer has the original engine in it, I would just build a nice street engine with a nice modern cam, either ported steel or aluminum heads, a set of good headers, and probably a repo W-30 intake so that I could adapt a repo 70-72 OAI cold air setup (I would definitely need to have that). Restore the car and enjoy it. To make this car correct is way too expensive and you will probably never get your money out of it. Restore it, make it nice and if later on you find all the correct pieces you can put it back to the way it was. Haggerty list a #1 Hurst Olds at 75K and a #2 61K getting all the original parts would probably cost over $30K, heads, block, intake, carb, distributor, OAI box etc... not worth it IMHO.

Nice northern calif 🇺🇲

The 455 Buick Gran Sport would smoke it.

Nice 🇺🇲

Clean it and leave it alone,it’s only original once.

Thanks for the video. Amazing they're still out there, especially a '69 H/O. Back in the day we called that a Mail Box Hood. If I remember correctly, the original TH400 would have had a special Hurst ID tag on the side. Quite a big dollar project for a H/O lacking the original "Money" block. Peace.

Whoever owns it. It would be cheaper to buy an all restored one before restoring this one back to factory perfect all original condition. Paint this one and get it back to running condition.

Nice find i have a plastic model of one these cars would hang with any big block down the quarter mile

Get a decent wire brush and scrub the differential tube a few inches from the right hand side facing the front of the car close to the brake line holder. There's a code there that will tell you what the application was. The Hurst /Olds had codes specific to it. This car has disc brakes and the W-46 H/O option so the code should read 4400 JL2 WITH W46 C D SH 3.23 42-13 SJ 3.42 41-12 SL 3.91 43-

Excellent project to restore

HI ME AND SON HAVE ONE [ PROJECT ]/WHAT NUMBER DO YOU HAVE OUR REAR END AND TRANS HAS VIN NUMBER MATCHING OH TAG ON TRANS

I'd love to get my hands on this car and restore it to its glory.

Vacuum reserve canister under trunk lid. It's for releasing the trunk when car isn't running = via vacuum. Release button is in the glovebox. The other '69 Hurst Olds convertible just sold for $350K. It was north of the little town of Madrid. Live nearby, had no idea all those years.

Nice car, shame it's missing it's soul. That's what makes all the difference . It still can be enjoyed regardless just going to cost some cash to get the basic mechanicals up to driving condition .

That "can" on the trunk latch is in fact a vacuum controlled remote trunk release. The push button should be mounted in the glove box.

Mr. B. Here ! 🍩☕️👀😎👍 : WOW the dollar amount to bring it back ! Anyway , what ever I would clean 🕸️💩🪣🧽🧼 all save as much as possible ! It original only one time . Best of luck to the new owner 🍩☕️👀😎👍 !

Such a really cool car. It'll be cool to hear some history on the car. I heard about this car setting for years until dumb luck struck. LOL Great video.

What a rare peice of history. Deserves nothing but a top rate restoration.

Great looking project! One of my all time favorite muscle cars!👍

Great video. Thanks for making it.

I remember seeing one in my home town in a yard. This was 78' era. No motor or trans though. Great video! Have a blessed New Year everyone! 🎆🏁

Awesome car !! Fabulous story 😎👍👍

Nice under the hood is the same color as the body

Power steering conversion and carburetor work . Change the mirrors and add the correct challenger emblems

Mopars in the Partk . 2025 will be in Farmington

Gotta be there Friday for move in day

confident that if I say matching numbers on the T/A doesn't mean a whole lot here especially when it's so close, that's a tri pack and that's what matters, it might be worth what $10k more with matching numbers? I mean what's the diff tween $160k and $170k, 10 grand if that? engine born on the same day, maybe what 2 hours away? 4, yea more like 4 they prolly didn't, pump those out quite as quickly as a standard run of the mill, lotta eew'n and aaw'n going on as these rolled out the door, everyone wanted to drive it off the line and park it.. thats an unreal car dood, a survivor like that? like it like em both, what no 340 wedge car? no muncy 12 bolt hemi super bee? slippin dood, really slippin . .lol lot of us owned and drove the wheels off these cars, very few of us hung onto them.. sadly .. now all the collectors have em they're out of range for most... I paid $683.00 for mint 63,000 mile olds 442 W30 in the day, hurst vertical gate, HD clutch ram air, all that, my girl at the time blew the tranny in my 69 SS nova so I pulled the M22 fine spline out of the 442 clutch flywheel the works, slapped it all in the Nova save the gate shift, she didn't like that too hard to pull the rings up with her little hands and she didn't like the olds, left the 442 where it sat, dunno who ended up with it? it sat at the apartments we lived at on 220th for about 6 months, then I saw it at the tow yard right there for a while driving to work, changed job sites and never saw it again.. mid-late 70's these cars, GTX for 500, 440 wedge GTX $500, all of em . . were dime a dozen back then.. whooda thunkit? however had she not been around destroying trannys I'm confident I would still have both cars, woulda drove em out to my parents, stuffed em in the 12 car geerash and left em there for 30 years, then they would have been worth way too much to ignore, buy.. or find .. working I didn't have time for em then..... women

Absolutely stunning
