- coupe 3,597 gasoline silver manual
In the dark days of the early '80s, it was oldsmobile who carried the torch best with cars like this 1983 oldsmobile cutlass aka the hurst/olds. The hurst/olds was never about being subtle, and this '84 continues the grand tradition with an awesome silver-over-black paint job (the opposite of the 1983 models), blacked-out trim, red stripes, and the usual spoilers and scoops. To be honest, the transformed cutlass looks fantastic in its war paint, and this one has held up well over the last 30 years. I has been recently repainted, so it shows very few signs of being driven and enjoyed, and the silver paint has a great shine, the decals remain are affixed to the sheetmetal, and all the parts unique to the hurst cars are intact. These were limited-edition pieces, so collectors snatched them up and protected them from the rigors of daily use, so it really should be no surprise that this one looks so good after all these years. The formal gm g-body shape works remarkably well with the aggressive hurst upgrades and removing all the chrome does wonders for the transformation from plush luxury cruiser to street brawler. The hurst/olds also got bucket seats and a proper console, something few other oldsmobiles of the era can claim. Gm was into maroon cloth upholstery back then, and it actually works pretty well with the two-tone exterior, adding an appropriately upscale look to the driver's compartment. The instrument panel is a performance-oriented setup, now upgraded with dakota digital instruments that look very cool, and an upgraded am/fm/cd stereo system in the dash, a big step up from the early '80s cassette deck. The trunk is also neatly finished with black carpets and a space-saver spare. Oldsmobile performance amounted to their rugged and torquey 307 cubic inch v8, which it turns out is virtually indestructible. Fortified with an upgraded camshaft, holley 4-barrel carburetor, edelbrock intake manifold, long-tube headers, and a true dual exhaust system, it earns its stripes the hard way and moves the coupe with genuine vigor.
