1972 Hurst/Olds Hard Top - Original W-45 Car.

VIN# 3J57UM196999
Car recently had a Restoration....in 2009/2010
New Paint and Correct Reflective Gold Striping...along with all other correct decals.
NON-Sunroof Car
Numbers Matching 455 Motor with only 5,000 miles since restoration.
Original Exhaust Manifods removed...and headers are currently installed on the car.
8 Track radio does not work.
Car runs and drives great....and currently is showing 520 miles....but is 100,520 total miles.
Does NOT have the vinyl top installed. Have been trying to find someone who can re-produce the original top material.
Rear window trim not installed...was waiting for vinyl top to be installed...but trim comes with the car.

ADDED 10-13-13

The A/C in the car is currently not connected. The Compressor is there and connected. The previous owner didn't re-connect the A/C and I never had a need for it so I didn't connect it either. In order to get it working, the belt would need to be installed, the line from the Thermal Expansion Valve to the Condenser would need to be installed, and the system would need to be charged. Also.....the Heater Core is not connected. The previous owner during restoration just installed a piece of hose from the input to the output. I never had a need for A/C or Heat.....so I never connected them. The blower fan does work.

Lastly - there is a paint chip on the front passenger side fender on top by where the hood and fender meet. When the car was painted, they installed the hood which already had the stainless hood trim piece installed. They shut the hood after they installed it on the hinges...and before actually making any adjustments, they opened the hood and the stainless trim piece rubbed on the fender....causing a small paint chip. I have attached a picture.

I will have this chip fixed at my cost....and have the rear window trim installed at my cost before the car leaves to the new owner. Its apparent that the original top material doesn't exist as I have been looking for a few years now, so I will have the trim installed and the H/O badges will also be installed on the sail panels.

ADDED 10-20-13

I had the paint shop mix up a bottle of touch up paint using the original paint for the car, I have some left that will go with the car, and touched up the minor chip so that is now fixed. Since I found some top material, I am going to leave the rear window trim off - the new owner of the car can either have the vinyl top installed and then install the window trim along with the H/O badges for the sail panels.

Numerous people keep asking about the condition of the car. The car is a SOLID #3.....its not the 1,000 point trailer queen.....and its not a restoration project. Its a solid car that runs and drives, looks good, and is in great shape with a fresh engine that also is very strong. If you are looking for the show car that will never leave your garage, this is not the car for you. If you are looking for a nice car to drive and enjoy and take to your local car shows......then for the money that this car is listed at....you won't find a better option...especially for a limited build car such as this.

I can assist with the shipping of the car....meaning I have some connections to some independent vehicle shippers that have nice, enclosed trailers....for a reasonable price. I can set everything up to where all you have to do is provide payment to the shipper directly....and the car will be at your door in a short period of time.

If anyone wants a reference to speak to about the condition of the cars, or myself as an owner/seller/collector.....I can give you the name of some references if you want a second, third party, opinion.

This Or That: 1980 Oldsmobile 442 vs. 1989 BMW 635CSi [w/poll]

Thu, 09 Oct 2014

The last time I roped a coworker into an automotive debate, I lost. Resoundingly, I might add. Still, 2,385 voters chose to cast their lots for the Fiat 500 Abarth, as opposed to 5,273 choosing the Ford Fiesta ST, and so I can rest easy in the knowledge that at least 30 percent of you, dear readers, see things my way. I still like to think we have more fun, too.
My loss in the first round of our This or That series, in which two Autoblog editors pick sides on any given topic and then attempt to explain why the other is completely wrong, didn't stop me from picking another good-natured fight, this time with Senior Editor Seyth Miersma. Last time, our chosen sides were eerily similar in design, albeit quite different in actual execution. This time, our vehicular peculiarities couldn't seemingly fall any further from one another: A 1980 Oldsmobile 442 wouldn't seem to match up in comparison to a 1989 BMW 635CSi.
How did we come up with such disparate contenders? Simple, really. Seyth and I mutually agreed to choose a car that's currently for sale online. It had to be built and sold in the 1980s, and it had to be a coupe. The price cap was set at $10,000. The fruits of our searching labors will henceforth be disputed, with Seyth on the side of the Germans, and myself arguing in favor of the Rocket Olds. Am I setting myself up for another lopsided loss?

Ferrari FF pitted against Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser in crazy Generation Gap comparison

Thu, 13 Nov 2014

The folks behind Generation Gap have lost their minds with this latest video. The goal here is to determine the ultimate family cruiser, but the choices are what you would least expect, with a heavily modded 1970 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser going up against a 2012 Ferrari FF.
You might anticipate an over-40-year-old Oldsmobile to pale in comparison to any modern Ferrari, but this wagon has a ton of secrets under its skin thanks to Lingenfelter. First, it packs a supercharged LS3 V8 with a claimed 650 horsepower and a six-speed manual gearbox. That big upgrade in power is further helped with air suspension and massive Wilwood disc brakes. The result is nothing short of deafening, with blaring yelps whenever the driver even nudges the accelerator.
The alternative sounds just as good, albeit in very different way. The Ferrari's 6.3-liter V12 pumps out 651 hp and 504 pound-feet with a part-time all-wheel drive system. While the FF lacks a lot of the hauling ability of the Olds, it makes up for the deficit in handling, luxury, and in many eyes, simply by having the famous prancing horse on the grille.

GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
