My father was a car dealer for over 40yrs, when I was a kid in the mid-80's he brought home this exact spec'd car one day. The shifters had me mesmerized to say the least. I'll never forget it.
My mom had one just like this when I was a kid but hers had the T-tops an the interior was that burgundy color every Saturday we would go up 2 my granny’s house an we would stop to get the car washed an I remember my mom would hold her wide open after leaving the car wash lol her excuse was she had to get the water off the car haha good times we had in that car!!!! Ur very lucky to have that car take care of her thanks for sharing take care!!!!
Who ever gave you a thumbs down was probably neutered at birth I'm a oldsmobile man my self peace and much respect to you Jason I'm the proud owner of a 1986 oldsmobile cutlass supreme brougham and in my home town am known as " THE CUTLASS KING " my first car hot rodding I'm my life and in my death oldsmobile power and powered to the end 😎
Why do these old cars seem to have so much soul compared to the new ones? I'd say it's because more human hands put them together versus more robotics.
Great car! My first car was the a 1974 olds cutlass Hurst with a rocket 350 and swivel bucket seats. Metallic brown with 60 series tires on the front and 50 series tires on the rear. On chrome slots. I currently have a 1972 oldsmobile cutlass 442 u code numbers matching car. Love my oldsmobiles!
Very good review for our G Body vehicles. My mom bought one brand new the 1984 off showroom floor. The engine sounds healthy if the 200r4 transmission is all original with the original torque convertor based off the video have the quadra-jet rebuilt or get a new comparable Holley. Because from zero ours wood light the tires up and scratch 2nd and 3rd gears without using the lightning rods. Beautiful car when you rebuild the carburetor it's night and day.
Thanks for the kind words! 39k original miles! Carb has been rebuilt twice. Original quadrajet. Trans was just rebuilt and built up with shift improvement. Factory converter. Mine has always been a soft shifting car long as I can remember. I do have 235 tires on mine. Maybe extra grip keeping it from a spin! Does seem as through my limited slip is worn though.
@@yodacode43 make sure you have the G80 code on the sticker on the bottom of the trunk lid. It represents posi traction. You should but it's not uncommon for cars come without the code or peg leg as we call them lol. Also make sure your Throttle position cable is not out of adjustment so that you get firm shifts at WOT. Makes a big difference that goes not only for the Oldsmobile GBody but all of them. Keep her beautiful
Your Uncle had great taste for cars! My first New car was an '84 Hurst/Olds. and I loved it. They also came with factory rear air shocks, when you pull down the rear license plate to access the fuel cap, there is a valve stem to adjust the height of the car. Looks like you have taken really good care of this car. Your Uncle would be proud!
Can’t believe I didn’t even think to mention the air shocks! Definitely knew about them! And thank you, I pride myself on this car more so than all the others!
@@yodacode43 About a month after I bought my '84 Hurst, I received in the mail, from Oldsmobile, a really nice booklet/pamphlet that gave the history of all the Hurst/Olds along with information on the new' 84 Hurst. It was in reading this book I learned of the air shocks. Anyway, one of my co workers helped themselves to this book. If your uncle kept that, it would add value to an already rare car.
Your a lucky man...83 Hurst is a gorgeous car...and its a family heirloom..never sell it...clay bar and polish paint..seal it with F11...I had an 86 442 with same color interior black with silver and gold..miss thst car..never sell my friend youll regret it
This and the Monte SS helped usher the automotive landscape out of the Malaise era. 180 horses doesn't sound like much today but these had the most power of all the mid size sporty cars of the early 80's.
You're right. Today you can get 600 + but does it do much for you? You can only go 25 MPH around town. My brother bought a brand new Monte SS in 1986 and it was a great car.
Wow outstanding video and time capsule Hurst/Olds. Better yet you got all the facts right. I is funny how many owners of these cars today don't know the back story and you nailed it.
I love your hurst olds those cars were the top of the muscle car line up this car was based off of the cutlass calis and the cutlass 442 was off the cutlass Supreme your car is a classic master piece
Beautiful car and thank you for the time posting. Those automatic shifters were way ahead of there time. I think they called them a shift kit. I had a friend who had a brand new 1976 Volare Road Runner with a shift kit and it would go into gear quickly. IMO much quicker than a clutch deal.
If it ever comes up for sale , please keep me in mind .... traded mine in 92 for a 1 ton GMC and I've been kicking my tail for doing it ever since !! Thank you !!😎
Yes! I'm glad I have the gray! The red is too intense for me. I also learned that you could technically get the vinyl version of either color as well. Though I've NEVER seen one!
My uncle was in Rochester. He got the plate from a local who had it on his 1969 car in 1984, then he passed in 1994, and my family held onto it until 2016 when I brought the car to Michigan. It’s purely a display plate on the front, but it is the actual plate my uncle ran on the car.
the "lightning rods" are ridiculously expensive to fix when it breaks ... and parts are SUPER rare now that Oldsmobile doesn't exist anymore, so 99.99% just use "automatic" like a regular shifter (yawn)

If I should get one of these I would keep it 100 % stock original.

I like that description they did have much more soul back in the day.
That’s because most cars are designed for the wind tunnel, and to meet ever increasing government regulations.

Definitely without words as I would love to find one other than yours. You have a great history and you are blessed.

Wonderful video! The Olds is beautiful! Keep it forever, it’s a treasure in many ways!
Special feel in this Oldsmobile for sure! One transmission weep away from perfection and a year of driving fun.

@@dbx1233 well I’ve got a box of stuff and literature for it downstairs, chances are I’ve got it! He loved all the stuff he could get for it.
Mine was a1984 Monte Carlo SS
Keep these gbodys on the road I'm plan on keeping my olds on the road and nice car 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Awesome car rare sand grey interior.
God this makes me miss my first car - ‘88 Cutlass Supreme Classic the last of the Gbody cutlass.
Very cool car. Michigan represent

The trans shifter is super cool!
That’s definitely it’s coolest feature!
Very awesome video! Thanks for sharing!!
Beautiful car,I had an 84 hurst biggest mistake ever selling that silver surfer
You only mention the T-Tops and Hardtop. I have the factory Moonroof with the sand interior. Which is a very rare combination.
Well, I never knew there was a factory moonrise option on Hurst cars!
Wow outstanding video and time capsule Hurst/Olds. Better yet you got all the facts right. I is funny how many owners of these cars today don't know the back story and you nailed it.
I appreciate it! Passion drives my research!

Glad I could share it!
Loved mine 2nd car I ever owned

His and her shifters
Merica! My 77 Corvette was bought new by my father n I mod it, drive it and enjoy it!
Wow amazing video my dad use to have 96 Chevy impala ss he was gonna give it to me but got in a accident
You're one lucky dude!👋😎👍
Beautiful! 😎👍
Thank you!
what this car needed was a REAL hurst T-handle manual shifter !! .... and a REAL open-air hood scoop !!
Just got an 84, but it needs some work. Looking forward to getting it in good running order.
Nice car "yes indeed "🙏
Beautiful car!!!!
Great video!!!!
I’ll save the original drivetrain obviously, but I was thinking stump puller 455. Gotta keep it in the Olds family!
Awesome!!!!
I love this video. I love the G bodies. Also thanks for the B&B Motorsports comment.
Absolutely happy to support! I’m glad you enjoyed it. I’ve come a long way even since this video and I’m considering doing a re-up on that video too!
What a gem of a car
Danke schoen!
Lucky man. Don't mess with the paint. It's easy to get the swirls out
Beautiful car.
GM engineer 1: how do we make these things faster?
GM engineer 2: add some more shifters!!
These are rare birds actually.. I’d save it..these were state of the art then
I had a 83 Oldsmobile i loved the car took it out and a guy smashed into me and totaled it, now i can't find a nother one. Enjoy it.
Some stiffer springs will fix the valve float
clean
If it ever comes up for sale , please keep me in mind .... traded mine in 92 for a 1 ton GMC and I've been kicking my tail for doing it ever since !! Thank you !!😎
I appreciate the sentiment, but this car is destined for my son!
@@yodacode43 As it should be indeed !! 😎👍
I have one all original even the air in the tires never driven in the rain 10 000 miles MAKE A OFFER
@@thomasehrich7878 where are you located?
@@rudygarcia9790 Metro Detroit
Nice, I have the same exact car minus the power windows, my car number is 262 out of 3001
How did you figure out your number in the run?
Its rare to see this light gray interior these cars usually have the Maplewood red velour
Yes! I'm glad I have the gray! The red is too intense for me. I also learned that you could technically get the vinyl version of either color as well. Though I've NEVER seen one!
I see a NY plate on the car . Was your uncle from LOng Island NY ?
My uncle was in Rochester. He got the plate from a local who had it on his 1969 car in 1984, then he passed in 1994, and my family held onto it until 2016 when I brought the car to Michigan. It’s purely a display plate on the front, but it is the actual plate my uncle ran on the car.
Merrell was here
Do you still have the car
Definitely do! Never giving it up!
@yodacode43 nice. I finally got one. Not as nice as yours but she's mine
the "lightning rods" are ridiculously expensive to fix when it breaks ... and parts are SUPER rare now that Oldsmobile doesn't exist anymore, so 99.99% just use "automatic" like a regular shifter (yawn)
If you ever want to sell it , please please hit me up!
A slow little junkbox compared to the 1968, 1969 and 1972 Hurst Oldses that had 455s.
take those horrible mud flaps off!
My uncle chose to equip them, they’re not coming off!
@@yodacode43 okay keep it ugly as hell, it's your choice.
