1984 Oldsmobile Cutlass 10080 Miles Silver/Black Coupe 5.0L V8 Lightning 4-Spee

Description

GR Auto Gallery is pleased to offer this 1984 Oldsmobile Cutlass Hurst Edition for your consideration. It is powered by a 5.0L V8 motor which pushed out 190 horsepower through an automatic transmission to the rear wheels. Plenty separated the Hurst edition from the standard Cutlass. One major difference was the use of Hurst Lightning Rod shifters which allowed for a clutchless manual-like driving experience with the use of an automatic transmission. The Lightning Rods allowed for the driver to take control of the timing of upshifts and downshifts.
All Hurst special editions were finished in the desirable Black with Silver skirt separated with red striping. It features a red cloth interior with wood accents and an analog dashboard. Other highlights include Power Steering, Power Brakes, Air Conditioning, Cruise, Tilt, AM/FM Cassette, Power Driver Seat, Power Trunk Release, Clock, Power Antenna, Dual Mirrors with Inside Adjust, Hurst T-Tops, etc.
Today as a result of consistent care, limited use, and proper storage, the car remains in excellent all-around original condition. The cloth interior remains excellent original in all areas, the paint remains excellent, the engine compartment is tidy and detailed. Mechanically the vehicle remains very fit and is a blast to drive. The removal of the T-tops gives a great open-air experience.
This car was purchased new at Matson Oldsmobile-Cadillac in Muskegon, Michigan. The car has remained in the caring hands of its original owner until it was passed down onto his grandson and brought here to be offered to the global market.
The Mid 80's were strange times for performance car enthusiasts. The glory days of the muscle car era were now 15 years in the dust. Car manufactures were promoting miles per gallon instead of horsepower. Front-wheel drive, fuel injection, strut suspensions, and electronic dashboards have now taken over the wonderful simplicity of power with the rear-wheel application. To celebrate a fifteen-year alliance between performance icon Hurst and Oldsmobile, the W40 Hurst Oldsmobile 15th Anniversary edition was created with a back to basics approach: Body on frame construction, control arm front suspension and a powerful V8 driving a live rear axle. All were built in Lansing, MI, and were shipped to secondary manufacturer, Cars and Concepts, for Hurst modifications. The 84 Hurst Olds captured the essence of an era when performance and style was king.
The relationship between Hurst and Oldsmobile is legendary. Oldsmobile is an upscale brand of General Motors, also took its performance very seriously and its performance-based Hurst Cutlasses remain revered in all automotive circles. The 1984 Anniversary editions are already considered a future classic and now is an excellent time to exercise the opportunity on American automotive investment.
