This beautiful 1969 Oldsmobile Hurst/Olds comes armed with its original numbers matching W-46 455 and is now available from the MAXmotive Pittsburgh Showroom. The W-46 is a 380 horsepower Rocket V8 with W-30 heads, cam, and distributor. The best part about this motor is the brutal 500 lb/ft of torque. When coupled with the performance tuned Turbo Hydra-matic 400, this Olds leaves with the best of ‘em. This fine example is believed to have been driven only 51841 actual miles. Naturally, another major highlight of the package is the famous Hurst Dual-Gate shifter. It allows fully automatic operation, or you can use it as a manual ratchet shifter. The color scheme for ‘69 is Cameo White with Hurst Firefrost Gold accent stripes and black pinstriping. The effect is stunning, and it makes a ‘69 Hurst/Olds instantly recognizable. The Hurst/Olds has a unique hood scoop (with bold H/O 455 callouts) that works with the air cleaner to provide a functional forced air system, a massive rear wing, Olds SSII wheels and special British-sourced mirrors. The excellent interior is pure Oldsmobile, with an ornate pattern on the doors, tilt steering column, bucket seats, and walnut-pattern woodgrain on the dash and center console. Few cars represent the golden age of muscle better than a 1969 Hurst/Olds. By teaming with Hurst to build a special edition, limited production car, Olds was able to circumvent GM’s rule prohibiting engines larger than 400 cubic inches in intermediate cars. One more thing. This car is hallowed ground. The First Lady of Motorsports, Miss Hurst Golden Shifter, the Lovely Linda Vaughn personally signed the inside of the decklid. See detailed photos at www.maxmotive.com
