That's 1 bad ass car ! hurts olds cutlass even by today standards that car has it's own personality !
Happy to read you enjoy this car :-) Hope you see many more cars on this UA-cam Channel you enjoy.
I work at Oldsmobile back in that time. I had ordered one of those Hurst Olds cars. As was the policy back then you could watch your car being built so I followed my car down the line as it was being assembled. I kept the car or three years but always had transmission problems with it. they were notorious for having problems with this transmission. So after the fifth time it was repaired I sold it. Mine had glass-paneled sunroof. The T-tops look nicer but always had leak problems.
Hi Richard Welch, Thank you for viewing, sharing your 1st hand knowledge, and commenting. Hope you see many more cars on this UA-cam Channel you'll enjoy, Lou
It seems like I always have a related car story to your videos. When I was in college, my girlfriend worked at a tanning salon and the owner had a Hurst Olds just like this. He let me take it to the grocery store for a beer run and I really enjoyed driving it. Cool car!
Hi tscooter22, Thank you for sharing and adding to the story, Lou
When these came out I was in High School and man I LUSTED after them. A local GM dealership had them in the showroom and I got my oldest brother to take me there and look at them. I just stood there in awe. The black like this one is what I preferred over the silver. Warren Jontson campaigned these in drag racing too and I had a poster of his car hanging up in my room.
I ended up working at the same dealership after I graduated in the body shop. We had some neat cars come and go when I worked there but they never were as cool to me as the Hurst Olds of that year.
Hi troynov1965, Happy to read "When these came out I was in High School and man I LUSTED after them" :-) My pleasure sharing this one with you, Lou
Love the eighties performance cars Lou! What a beautiful car!
The 1980's cars are getting more popular and people from that generation are wanting to drive them again.
I always wanted one of these I had a 1983 cutlass supreme I had fixed up pretty good I love the Hurst olds.
Hope you're behind the wheel of one like this soon.
"Lightning rod shifters" guaranteed to confuse even the most experienced parking valet. Mass of pipework and tubes under the hood seem to strangle the V8 in more ways than one, but who cares with an exhaust note like that ? Great video presenting a rare model and enthusiastic owner. Cars don't come more '80s than this !
Hi Andrew Graham, " "Lighting rod shifters" guaranteed to confuse even the most experienced parking valet." WONDERFUL ! :-) Glad you enjoyed the sounds and '80'sness of this car, Lou
Back in the day these were badass and I plan on adding one to my collection
Hope you're behind the wheel of one like this soon.
Hope you have the 30-40k to spend on it lol...
Hope u get it bro
Got to love those split tail tail lights ❤
Thanks for sharing what you notice and enjoy.
Blissful Blonde and blissful wheels. Magnificent.
Win / Win :-)
Just another one that I lusted over but never had the money to afford one. Great job to both of you sharing classic USA vintage cars. Todays do not have the same character.
Thank you for viewing and sharing. Hope you see many more cars on this UA-cam Channel you'll enjoy :-) Lou
Awesome video. Great car those G bodies are classics!
HI Donnis Bagby, Glad you enjoyed this one :-) Thank you for the wonderful comment. Hope you see many more cars on the Channel you'll enjoy, Lou
Those lightning rod shifters are very cool, unique to my eye!! I like the look of the Hurst Olds & colors... the silver looks really good against the black!! Good story! Thank U!
Hi WickedFireFly13, Agreed, the shifters are so cool :-) Glad you like this one. Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
wickedfirefly13 Same here! I wish more cars out there were rolling w/Lightning Rods.
Man this car looks so good !!!
NICE :-)
Could be sweet with a built 350 or 400 small block and the right exhaust
That's a FUN idea :-)
Old comment, but that would be crazy to ruin a Hurst/Olds in that manner. They’re too rare now-a-days
I get it, I love it to lady! And her old car an 86 442. Some good taste!
Hi Justin, Happy to read you "love it" too :-) Lou
80S FUN!
You're right :-)
Lou Costabile do a video on the Buick GNX
If I see one and the Care Taker, you will too. Good choice Tommy Sands, Lou
I love the car. This is a great car. inside and out. just a " survivor " car. Thanks LOU for sharing this great video. Appreciate your efforts showing all varieties of nice cars. THANKS LOU and please have a great day.
Hi Hisham Elfiki, "I love the car". Enough said :-) Hope you have a great day too, Lou

Hi martin swift, Glad to read your story, and thank you for sharing you love this car :-) Lou

Beautiful car!!!! But you need to put the original rims on it. But still awesome. Congrats
Hi jusrushem69, Glad you enjoyed this one and consider the car beautiful :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing. Hope you see many more cars on the Channel you'll enjoy, Lou
jusrushem69 they are the original rims. I had the same car in early 90's. Same rims! 👍
You are correct. Hurst/Olds wheels had a red stripe running around them, and the inserts weren't that dark. Very close, but incorrect.
Nice Hurst Olds
:-)
I have a 84' HO brochure from Olds dealer. Needs a 425 Rocket
Nice brochure :-)
That’s one awesome car always loved the 83 hurst olds .
Hi George Tiedemann, Glad you enjoy this one and consider the car "awesome" :-) Lou

The 'Lightening Rod' shifters are awesome, but at 3,500 pounds and with only 180 bhp & 245 lbs-ft of torque you would literally have to be hit by a bolt of lightening to beat another car off the line.

I think 84 was the last year for hurst/olds lightning rod transmissions. After 84 hurst was gone and 85-87 they were just called 442 after that. Something like that.87 wasn't the last year for 442s.They kept it as an option for a while after that.I was told that it was an option even in fwd cutlass'.For how long I'm not sure.I would have have taken one of these over all other GMs like Camaros or TAs . Where I grew up the Cutlass Supreme, Montys , Malibu were super popular .The type of cars where you could sneak 3 people in the trunk and go to the drive in.You could also bang in the back seat.

Happy to read you enjoy this color combo, and sounds good too :-)
(I believe they) Only built 3001 ‘83 Hurst Olds, I missed by a year (‘84 Hurst Olds No HP) Really nice car, they did offer the W-30 455 cu in Engine in this particular year, not offered in ‘84 ;(
Hi C5Ron7, Thank you for viewing and sharing your knowledge. Hope you see many more cars on the Channel you'll enjoy, Lou
nice looking car, have not seen one in quite awhile
Hi estpst, Glad you like this one :-) Me neither, however now we can see this one as often as we want :-) Lou
Special car but they should have made this car standard option with a 350 or a 455 olds engine thats just my opinion but overall nice car..

I had a 84 Hurst olds with t tops and lightning rods one of those cars I wish I never sold
Hi Vince Termath, Sounds like a great car :-) Hope you get another one soon, Lou
How much fun was is slamming through the gears?
Wow I'm not an 80's person but damn that's a real amazing car like EVERYTHING ANOUT IT! How many horsepower? Wowe that's rare the gears!!
Hi DAn Al, Glad you like this one :-) That gear shift is so different for sure, Lou
It had 180 hp and 245 ft-lb of torque, with 3.73 gears in the ass end it could do 0-60 in about 8 seconds. Acceptable for performance at the time.
awesome car! fyi, those are the wrong wheels. it should have 15" with grey accents and a red pin strip. The black accent wheels are standard cutlass 14" wheel.
also she forgot the 84 h/o in her framed gallery collage. not criticizing, just passing on details from another H/O owner.
Yup, for all that added glitz of all those dumb signatures, the lack of the original wheels hurts the look quite a bit. That was a rather distinct addition to the car, that you had a wheel with a red stripe running around it.

Hi yardsausage, Glad you enjoy this one :-) Hope you find a car like this for you soon, Lou
nice again.
Glad you enjoyed it :-)
THINK it was single going into 1 cat then split out into dual mufflers.
Thank you for sharing.
Sweet :)
Glad you like this one :-)
:)
"lightning rods" didn't do ANTHING that a regular shifter could do !! ... most people just put it "drive" and did nothing else !! ... the car needed a REAL HURST FOUR SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION mated to a 350 !!
Hi Mark Hellman, If you added the Hurst 4 Speed manual.....it would go like HELL MAN! :-) Lou
Weird! Lou, you featured a 71 Charger R/T in Red like the one I had, and now you featured a car that my Dad had!! His had the T-tops as well and low miles. The trans went bad and he had it rebuilt by a local shop twice and they never got it right! Love this car over the 1984 version that was silver on top and black on the bottom. Nice car. 307 is the cubic inch on these. They moved out well. Sounded great as well. Low restriction mufflers. Keep these coming. I have a 79 Lil Red truck, you should do one of these. 78 or 79.
Hi mrmopar5, Glad I'm two for two, however I almost purchased a "Lil Red Truck" too, the Channel is "My Car Story" not "My Truck Story", however with that said...there are 2 Pickups that have made the Channel. If you type into UA-cam search "My Car Story with Lou Pickup" you can see them. Who knows, some with a Lil Red Express that's all done right might get on if the timing is right, Lou
Lou, if your in Minnesota or Western WI look me up, you can feature my truck! It was used in our wedding and had it since 1994. We did a resto on it using all NOS parts except the wood and bolts. It even is done in enamel paint like the factory did. Do you have an email and I can send you detailed pictures. I am 48 miles north of the Twin Cities.
That car needs to be built to Grand National performance. They are so similar in appearance. I always wanted Pro Street Hurst/Olds. Used to watch Warren Johnson race his Pro Stock Hurst/Olds against Bob Gliddens Thunderbird. The shifters were like the ones on a Lenco trans in the NHRA Pro Stock cars. Launch with the clutch then pull each shifter back one at s time. These cars just didn't have any real power.

What's the Cubic Inch of That Engine 🤔?
Hi Duane, "The car has a 307 CI V8 with four barrel carburetor and the special feature on this car is the transmission with the three sticks “Lightning Rods Shifter” It's in the text description of the video, Lou
I don't think the wheels are original because the original had red inner lines in the chrome wheels to distinguish from the rest of the Oldsmobiles. The wheels on this car are from a later model Olds Cutlass '87 or '88 models.

Is this car for sale
Hi Dwight, I'm not aware of this car being for sale, Lou
I went to a Oldsmobile dealer in 1983 to buy one of these cars, it was really unique looking car. So I drove the car and when I got back to the dealership I told the salesman, Thanks but No thanks.
This car was way underpowered to be a sporty car. Engine was weak as water.
Hi Mark, Thank you for viewing and sharing your experience with this car. Hope you see many more cars on the Channel you'll enjoy, Lou
Mark That's why ALOT of Cutlass', Monte Carlos, Grand Prix, and Regals don't have the stock engine in them anymore.
Richard Skipper now the car rare and he played his seld
They should have put a 350 rocket in these cars instead of the pitiful 307's. These cars are too sharp to not have locking rear differential and a real V8 in them.

6:14 "who did that?"..( put the garbage Wal-Mart battery in this fine car).
:-0
So sad they put so much effort into making it look fast, and then it has a whimper. Sheesh, even my fairly weak 4cyl will outdo it's 0-60. I loved the look of this car at the time, but it was way too expensive for me, and I was probably fooled into thinking it was fast. My later 84 1/2 Mustang GT was a much better deal for performance. I would think the Grand National, which maybe came out around the same time, was a much faster car than this Hurst.
You're right Charles 22, Many cars from the mid 1970's thru mid 1980's we're not fast compared to today's cars.
Yes, the number of cars seemingly all hell bent on getting 1000HP is just ridiculous. It's so useless to have so much HP and all you have is the streets. It would be fine if you lived close to a track and it was a second car. I have to wonder when another HP en masse drop is going to occur, because before they blamed it on lack of fuel economy, and yet not too much has changed since then, yet we now are putting out cars that are more explosive than the old ones. Part of the difference, I guess, is that you're getting similar results from smaller engines, therefore you're not making hot rods any more that get 12 MPG, but maybe 17MPG.
Lou Costabile Let's not kid ourselves. These cars weren't even considered quick when they were new.
Poor camera work
Camara all over the place Love this car. I'm a 455 Buick man
Hi Guy Stevens, Before you share your "Expert" critique on my video, lets hope I don't find the cute dog in your ONLY video which now that I've watched it is up to 3 views because I think I know why he's barking like crazy because with your rudeness I think he's going to bite your a$$ :-) Stay well, Lou P.S. I have many Buicks on this Channel you'll enjoy.
Cool family 👪 car 🚗 all bark no bite but looking really nice 👌 GM should have put a 350 instead some bozo decided to puts a 305 just like Iroc

Not a bad looking car but a disgrace to the Hurst/olds name. Weren't these powered by a 305? Ugh the 80s
My Cutlass had a 307 v8
@@michaellee8442 oh ok. Had a 72 Malibu 307. Had no guts at all but ran ok
Looks = :-) 305 CI = :-(
What was the problem how come we didn't get a better shot at the engine it's not even an Oldsmobile engine please this is what I don't like about these videos when they start hiding things like that and that ain't no great American vehicle either please by the mid 80s things are really on their way out big time
