The seller of this 1984 Hurst/Olds is quick to point out that it’s not a Cutlass, and technically he’s right, although it shares the Cutlass body and many of the same components.  The last generation of the Hurst/Olds lasted for only two years, 1983 and 1984, with the ’83 cars sporting a black body with silver lower panels, which was reversed for the car’s final year in ’84.  If you’re a fan and have been wanting to see one of these in your driveway, this 1984 Hurst/Olds may be worth a look.  It can be found here on eBay, with bidding up to the $12,000 mark and the reserve already met, so the high bidder has bought the Oldsmobile.  You’ll have to travel to Bryan, Texas if you want to see the car in person first.

Barn Finds reader Larry D. spotted this one and brought it to our attention, and we’d like to say thanks to him for the great tip!  According to the AutoCheck information, this one’s only had two owners, with the car under the current owner’s care since 2004.  It’s been driven sparingly as of late, with many of the specified needs seeming to be cosmetic in nature.  The seller describes the car as all original, and I’m assuming that includes the paint, and as with most silver finishes from this time period, the car has become oxidized.  However, the body looks straight and there are said to have been no accidents, and for a 38-year-old Cutlass- whoops- I mean Hurst/Olds, it looks reasonably good.

The interior is said to be a bit faded, but there are no tears or rips in the seats and for a driver, things inside there actually look pretty good overall.  Like it or not, the Hurst/Olds got you the Lightning Rods shifter package in ’83 and ’84, which was an unusual touch liked by some and scorned by others.  Some headliner work is in order and the floor mats are missing, but the carpeting is said to be in good shape.  The T-Tops have received some attention in an attempt to make them leak-proof, and they are stated to be close to that, which I’m guessing means they still leak a bit.  The A/C is working, so that’s good news.

The 307 is the original engine and has just under 68,000 miles, nice and low for the car’s age.  The carburetor has been adjusted and professionally cleaned plus there’s a replacement gas tank, and the car is said to start right up and drive smoothly.  Mechanically, the vehicle is stated to be in very fine shape with no known issues, and with a nearly 70-year owner, I’m guessing this one has had some decent care over the years.  I always liked the body style of these cars, and while performance may not be quite up to par with the H/O offerings from the early years, for the mid-eighties it was pretty cool.  What are your thoughts on this 1984 Hurst/Olds?
