Very Clean Survivor w/ 41k Believed Orig Miles! Well Doc'd! 5.0L V8, Auto Trans

Vehicle Description

Just a year before this 1984 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442 Hurst/Olds rolled out, its manufacturer had intended their commemorative edition marking the 15th anniversary of their collaboration with the aftermarket parts specialist to be a "one and done" proposition. They misjudged just how hungry the American car buying public was for a bona fide, rear wheel drive, V8 powered modern muscle car - understandable since Detroit was moving toward more conservative front wheel drive cars at the time. That original offering flew out of the showrooms, so the special edition Olds was brought back by popular demand. This fine 41,872-mile specimen is one of only 3,500 1984 Hurst/Olds cars produced, and of those, only 1,500 were ordered with T-tops. The two-toned, silver and black lower paint job, subtly scooped hood and rear spoiler combine to serve notice that this is no garden variety Cutlass. It's a sharp color scheme and, with its optional T-top roof, a pair of opera windows in back and an array of red decals, this 442 radiates plenty of mid-'80s cool - it's easy to see why these special edition muscle cars flew out of showrooms pretty quickly back in their day. This '84 still acquits itself well - it's got a nice shine, the chrome trim around both the front and rear windshields is clean and the commemorative, special edition decals still really pop. It retains a very well-kept appearance after more than 35 years of service. The Hurst/Olds graphic on the trunk lid is yet another indication that this Olds is special.
Inside, the original Maple Red interior is still in place and in good form. The cloth, high-backed buckets in front and bench seat in back have held their original form well and there's an appreciable amount of legroom for passengers both fore and aft. Slide into the driver's seat and look down towards the center console and you'll see a truly inspired feature: the Hurst/Olds "Lightning Rods" shifter. Configured unlike any other, the Lightning Rods allow the driver to manually operate the automatic transmission - a precursor to paddle shifters that would come along decades later. Up front, the dash is in outright great shape - you'll find clean and easy to read gauges in the instrument cluster and a supple, un-cracked pad running across the top. In back, the spacious trunk area is nice and tidy, lined with clean, well-fitted carpeting, with the spare off to the side in its proper upright position. The factory AM/FM/Cassette stereo provides an era appropriate audio experience. The original window sticker, owner's manual, factory sales literature and service receipts come with the car.
Beneath the hood, a 5.0-liter V8 sits in the well-maintained engine compartment, surrounded by clean components. Equipped with a 4-barrel carb, it starts right up and pulls with enthusiasm as it pairs with a TH200-R4 4-speed overdrive transmission that's so well-regarded, it's often used on highly modified, aftermarket drivetrains. This is also an easy and comfortable car to drive - power brakes at all four corners provide the stopping power you'll need, and the power steering is impressively responsive. This eye-catching, special edition Oldsmobile rides on a set of 15" special edition Hurst Olds wheels wrapped with BF Goodrich T/A radials that still have plenty of tread remaining. Below, the undercarriage is solid and ready for plenty more future miles.
