Those Olds blocks are underrated and underappreciated. I think some of the reason why comes down to sentiment (marketing). These '68-72 Cutlasses have the most awesome sounding engines out of the factory. Even If you only think you like the car, when you start it in your garage, you will fall in love.
Joe I love the choice of an offset classic like this compared to much bigger names. Can't go wrong with an Olds, my dad was an Olds man growin' up here in the middle of Ohio.
That Hurst Olds along with the Cutlass 442 were much loved as a teenager growing up in Boston in the 70s. The Cragar Mags are a total total flashback. Awesome review. 👊🏻
A 51 years old car that run perfectly? That’s fantastic! Today, it’s crazy that an only 3 years old vehicle model is now considered "outdated" just because it doesn’t have the latest tech! In the 70s: no Apple Car Play, no Android Auto, no touchscreens, no digital buttons, no Bluetooth, no rear view camera, no keyless entry, no automatics leds lamps, no technologies of this type! That’s crazy!
The lack of all that fancy new "tech" is exactly WHY that car runs perfect. Occams razor: The simplest solution is usually best. The less complicated a machine is, the less there is to malfunction, and the less there is to maintain. The GM vehicles of that era are very basic, and those vehicles with the 327ci, 350ci, 396ci, 402ci, 454ci, and 455ci V8 engines are KNOWN for their longevity. The only time those cars don't start is if the person starting the car floods it, or if the carburator is out of adjustment, that's it pretty much it ( back in the day all you needed to do was keep a screwdriver in your glove box for readjusting the carburetor, and be familiar with how to make small tuning adjustments, and you could always get them running again). Although that may prevent them from starting, they aren't broken. The platforms GM used these powertrains in are bulletproof, and with proper fluid and filter upkeep, regularly outlive their owners, and can be kept running indefinitely...
That's how it all started. I remember seeing a couple of the Hurst Oldsmobile's on the road when they were new. None of the old Muscle Cars handle worth a darn but I would still take one over what's being offered in 2020. Thanks for the memories Joe.
This is my absolute dream car, thanks for the review!! When I was a kid I took a tour of the Oldsmobile plant in Lansing, Michigan with my family while we were on vacation.. We watched them build a car from start to finish and the next day my dad went to the local dealership and bought a Cutlass Supreme 2 door in gold. Couldn't talk my dad into the Hurst!
Your review does tremendous justice to this important piece of muscle car history (from my own era when these and other muscle cars regularly roamed the streets and strip). It's great that so many are keeping these gems alive and in pristine condition.
Boy this brings back memories. When you revved the engine you could see some torque roll in the body. That engine was a torque monster. You reminded me re; price. In 1968 I paid $3250 for my brand new Mustang GT 390 4 speed. Highland Green of course. Thanks
Well let's just get the shit straight 69 was not the first year of the Hurst Olds and I don't know why everybody thinks 69 was 68 was the first year of the Hurst olds and it was the first year of the big block 455 in a Hurst Olds I don't know why they always say 69 with the first they're so wrong 68 holes in it right.
Awesome. That’s a muscle car. !! Unfortunately they don’t make them like this anymore. All steel and no plastic crap. Better style than most of what’s out today. When olds actually made cool cars. Great video
Back in the mid-'80s a friend of mine who owned a bookstore, his 70 year-old mom owned a Hurst Olds 442. Hers was black, and I believe it was a build from the '70s, but I can't be sure of the exact year. And yes, she knew what she had! Babied that car too from what I could tell.
@@brianbuchert6382 I had one of these. The low end torque was immense (in the W30 455). Had to have ladder bars because tires back then struggled for grip.
I was 12 years old in '69, greatest time to be a kid into cars. Lotta tire shredders around then. Many guys coming back from Nam bought muscle cars to blow off steam, my cousin bought a '68 Super Bee, my first ride over 120 mph... been hooked ever since.
I had a 69 442 red with black roof back in the 70s and 80s, the 400 was replaced with a high compression 455, 400 turbo 3:31 12 bolt Chev possi. Fantastic all round car.
It’s seriously my dream car because of my dad. A friend owns it now, and was willing to sell it to me a few years back, who knows now. Supposably has a 454 in it. I’d LOVE to have my dad drive it once again.
Joe your knowledge new or old classic like this sweet ride is way above board. Keeps me tuned in all the time. Totally appreciate you throwing in this awesome classic which is you're right just getting back to the basics...no blue tooth or traction control just pure awesome. Time ran out so I wish you punched it 1 more time. Until the next ride.
That Hurst/Old is a close to my heart because I had two Oldsmobile. 1977 Cutlass supreme and the other one a 1980 Cutlass Calais T-Top with the W-30 high performance package. Color black& gold paint and the Olds wheel were paint gold, the interior luxury like you would’t believed . Joe Google this 1980 cutlass check the interior big console bucket seat gold . I miss her big time only 689 made with those options and color.
Hey, Raiti, thanks for this. In the 80s, I learned to drive in the old man's '66 Buick Riviera with a 425 Wildcat V8 (The OG's will know what that is). It was luxurious and powerful. Drum (power) brakes that were actually not bad. Back when I was in high school in the 80's, I would have 4 or 5 of my friends in the car with me, and I'd still SMOKE IROK Camaros!
Another fun fact. The 455 was illegal to install in 1969. (GM A Body) Wasn’t approved until 1970. Oldsmobile snuck it in on the Hurst Olds only. Even the 442 never had the 455 until 1970.
Love your video man, I’m a muscle car fanatic and you’re second to none with your reviews. I watch all your videos and wish you nothing but success Sir. Much love from Philadelphia 🌃.
The GM executive who pulled the plug on Oldsmobile said he regrets doing so. GM paid out millions of dollars to close and pay off Oldsmobile dealerships. This caused a backlash from Oldsmobile fans and some people never went back to GM dealerships again.
On 12:30 that line of what you said reminded me from the 1993 classic film A Bronx Tale when sonny told cee if the girl doesn't reach the door lock you dump her fast
Slow ? It’s not slow his numbers were different than what I have 0-60 5.4 sec 1/4 13.4 103 mph check out the hemi cars of that year it’s only a cpl hundred seconds faster than this car the 68 hurst olds had more hp 390 that stuck right with the hemis
Positraction..."anyone who's been stuck in the mud in Alabama knows, you step on the gas, one tire spins, the other does nothing." -- My Cousin Vinny 😂
This what I don't understand it had flat run tires and still had a spare tire in the boot. So where do I stack my bags? Aha, the spare wheel can be placed under the bonnet 😉
I can appreciate it for what it was and it is a gorgeous car. I love that white with gold paint job. That really needs to come back is some way shape ot form. But I have a feeling modern cars are much more easier to live with. Maybe not as this does have AC.
They say $4,300 in 1969 dollars is about $30,000 in 2020 dollars. Can you imagine having something like that available at your local dealership today for 30K today? This is a beautiful, stylish, cruiser with gobs of low end torque with that big block, a nice floaty ride. Beautiful chrome trim and minimal plastics. It's quite a treat to be able to drive it and it is in amazing condition for being 51 and its #1 too boot, wow! The dual hood scope might be the biggest I've seen.
There are a lot of Muscle Cars across the board,but in my opinion none of the others had the quality of performance,luxury,and style rolled up in one package,the best pick bar none,good luck on the contest everybody,I'm definately putting my bid in,..
Very Nice historic piece that appears to be very well kept. The thing about this car is the Paint scheme, Hood scoop and big engine. It didn't perform very well due to the weight of the car, brakes and suspension. But it did look good standing still.
Another great review! Go for another 455 SD Pontiac review - doesn't matter what car it's in - I prefer a '70 Judge which was a car I was restoring back in the day, plus I know you love the loud pedal!!
The Olds gets my vote over a mustang or camero, and that’s not limited to the Hurst Olds or 1969, quite frankly I prefer others yrs of the olds over the 2 mentioned.
Excellent review brother. Iuv your reviews, they are the best new and old vehicles alike. My favorite new channel. 😎👍 First mod- Wider BF Goodrich radial T/A's
GM full size luxury and mid sized cars were known to hold their ride very well with age. Mopar A and B body cars (Dusters/ Roadrunner) size would lose their ride with age though the larger C body cars (Fury and larger)held up better.
Definitely, an Icon, that died when GM pulled the plug, on Oldsmobile! I remember nearly getting one of these in '79, in Black, w/ the gold trim, W30 trim, to update from my '76 Camaro LT, and had a Hurst manufactured, hatch roof ( original stryle wide panel t-tops) installed. The late 70 Cutlass's, I recall, had a triple style, manumatic gated shifter(lightning shifter was the tag name), like you'd find in a pro stock racer, and gold factory custom wheels, similar to the Trans Am, era. Oh Yeah, then you add, the history of Linda Vaughn! 😳 But that's a whole different story for another day! 😁 🏁🏁
I used to know a guy about 25 years ago who owned one of those, with the same color scheme. His license plate frame? "This IS your father's Oldsmobile"
I prefer this high-end, luxury muscle Olds over a budget pony car. This car was marketed to a more sophisticated musclecar buyer. Pontiac GTO Judge and Buick GS Stage 1 the others.
I felt that Oldsmobile should have remained a brand. GM was investing in Oldsmobile again with the Aurora. Which GM spent money to revive Oldsmobile. It was a success. They had some exciting concepts that on of them looked like a Tesla. Check out the O4 concept.

That’s how a muscle car SHOULD sound. Love it
Chrome trim on classic cars looks better than modern cars of today. Gotta say about that 👌🏻
You are so right about that!
Leather and no cheap plastic
So true. Cars today are a pile of plastic.
Now that is a real car!
Heck yeah!
Those Olds blocks are underrated and underappreciated. I think some of the reason why comes down to sentiment (marketing). These '68-72 Cutlasses have the most awesome sounding engines out of the factory. Even If you only think you like the car, when you start it in your garage, you will fall in love.
I totally agree with you! It was a special time in automotive history.

Thanks for letting me share it all with you! I just love cars so much!
That Hurst Olds along with the Cutlass 442 were much loved as a teenager growing up in Boston in the 70s. The Cragar Mags are a total total flashback. Awesome review. 👊🏻
Very cool man! Thanks for letting me bring it to you!

The late 60's early '70s Olds big blocks were monsters. Had a neighbor with one in the 80's, black strips up and down the road. Cool car, thanks!
My favorite muscle car the olds 442 nothing beats those two mailboxes on the hood and that 455

These cars were built for "The Stoplight Grand Prix" back in the day or the local drag strip.
So very true about that Rudy!
Beautiful! This is my father's dream car he always talked to me about these cars
Very cool man!

I love seeing some old school classics on this channel, I also like the nod to "The Bronx Tale"
I had a smile on my face the whole time - " What a Blast from the Past "
🏁🏁🏁🏆🏁🏁🏁 Thanks Joe 👍
Thanks for letting me share it all with you!
I like when your're having fun "on throttle". Brings back good old memories.
Love these old classics. Keep up the good work Joe.

If it was black it was a 68 hurst olds that was the first year for them and it actually had 10 more hp than the 69 the 68 had 390 hp!
@@brianbuchert6382 I had one of these. The low end torque was immense (in the W30 455). Had to have ladder bars because tires back then struggled for grip.
Mid 80s, black H/O, close enough, that's a 83 Hurst Olds 15th Anniversary Edition with the Lightning Rod shifters (three shifters)
@@kenp108 I really marveled that car, too, with the lightning rods. In 83 that car was my most desired. Superb ride. 🏆🏁
That's a BADASS car. Great video Joe. 👍👍
I am so glad that you like this one!
There is nothing like the old school Joe and even tho the Olds had no Twinkie storage I can tell you still had fun 👍
I was 12 years old in '69, greatest time to be a kid into cars. Lotta tire shredders around then. Many guys coming back from Nam bought muscle cars to blow off steam, my cousin bought a '68 Super Bee, my first ride over 120 mph... been hooked ever since.
I love Oldmobiles almost as much as I love Mopars. Olds, Buick, and Pontiac had muscle and class.
Don't forget Plymouth
Oh man!!! My dad had a 4spd 69 442!! I must buy it back!!!!!!! AWESOME VIDEO

Very Nice historic piece that appears to be very well kept. The thing about this car is the Paint scheme, Hood scoop and big engine. It didn't perform very well due to the weight of the car, brakes and suspension. But it did look good standing still.

The lack of all that fancy new "tech" is exactly WHY that car runs perfect. Occams razor: The simplest solution is usually best. The less complicated a machine is, the less there is to malfunction, and the less there is to maintain. The GM vehicles of that era are very basic, and those vehicles with the 327ci, 350ci, 396ci, 402ci, 454ci, and 455ci V8 engines are KNOWN for their longevity. The only time those cars don't start is if the person starting the car floods it, or if the carburator is out of adjustment, that's it pretty much it ( back in the day all you needed to do was keep a screwdriver in your glove box for readjusting the carburetor, and be familiar with how to make small tuning adjustments, and you could always get them running again). Although that may prevent them from starting, they aren't broken. The platforms GM used these powertrains in are bulletproof, and with proper fluid and filter upkeep, regularly outlive their owners, and can be kept running indefinitely...
Thanks for that great input.
What beautiful looking car 😍😍😍
I am glad that you like this one Karem.
Am/fm radio, power windows and air conditioning, a well optioned beautiful cutty...
Yes sir Mark!
I think every single American car from that era had power windows, AC, automatic gearbox and bunch of horses underneath 😁
@@edwardvalivonis23 not really, muscle cars were rarely seen with options, most had standard steering and standard brakes.
@@markj2838 my main concern is horses under bonnet, the rest is not necessary
@@edwardvalivonis23 yes my favorite thing about muccle cars... big engines lots of hp and torque..
I like these videos a lot Joe, badass looking vehicle!
my brother in law had a 69 442. a/c was useless as the car would over heat. that trumpet exhaust with Thrush after market mufflers sounded bad ass
Nice. My dad's first car was a '69 Olds 442
The fun fact about the door w a date is EXACTLY true. Have done it every date.
Man one of my dream cars! You do n awesome job on your reviews! Thanks for the video
Joe thank you for keeping some of us sane in this time that seems like the entire world is upside down.
