1979 Oldsmobile Cutlass Hurst/Olds
For consignment, a pro touring version of the Hurst edition of the 1979 Olds Cutlass Calais. It is one of 2,499 units produced with the W30 Option. It is presented in gold and black and is a full hardtop version. The car was purchased from Texas where the body and frame was fully restored. Our consignor brought an engine to the table and the rest is history sitting in our Hallowed Halls.
Due to varying emissions control devices being removed, please check with your state, county, local or provincial motor vehicle department to verify the ability to legally register this vehicle in your area***
Exterior
Bathed in two tone gold and black this car takes a good paint job to another level. It uses the gold for the grille and hood top as well as the roofline to the B pillar. Here black takes over and also for the front bumper and car's lowers and trunk. A slight pinstripe makes an appearance in gold on the rear quarter panel and trunk lid wrapping around to the rear bumper in black. Square and rectangle steel with well minded gaps is the norm for this wonderfully restored example. Gold centered 5 spoke Forgeline CF3C wheels 19x9 in front and 19x12 on back have gloss black edging and are wrapped in Michelin Sport radial tires. Notable and iconic Hurst badging is on this vehicle.
Interior
A swing of the doors and we see beautifully restored door panels which use black molded vinyl and a carbon fiber central accent poised for the hurst badging, Seen are power window and lock toggles and a mirror joystick all in chrome. The seats are wrapped in black leather, and are made by Recaro and present as the Expert M series version. These are in very nice condition with perfectly aged leather. In the center is a snappy console with some gold cup holders, a glovebox and the Winters gated shifter topped with a Hurst pistol grip handle. Upfront, the dash is standard simple clean design with sweep black faced instrumentation with white lettering. It has been upgraded to a digital LED readout flat dash behind glass. More carbon fiber panels have been added as well as an Alpine digital screen display killer stereo. A nice leather back bench is seen and all new black carpeting and headliner are now installed for that showroom look, albeit customized with the carbon fiber panels.
Drivetrain
Under that gold painted hood I expected to see Linda Vaughan, but instead it gets even better, and bigger! OH Yeah! a 532ci V8 based on a Dart Big M Sportsman block, Mahle pistons, Eagle H-beam rods, a Callies Compstar crank, a Comp Cams hydraulic roller cam (.617i/.615e lift, 236i/244e duration, 112 lobe separation), and Morel lifters. It taps out with a whopping 673hp thanks to Air Flow Research (AFR) #3670 300cc aluminum oval port heads, and it is fed by Fast EFI with a port matched Edelbrock Victor intake manifold. A 4-speed 4L80E automatic transmission featuring a TCI EZ-TCU controller is bolted on the back. For the rear axle, it's a Moser 9 inch with a Moser housing, a full floater Currie 3rd member with 3.70 gears, has a Tru-Trac differential and Moser 31 spline axles. Headers and a glasspack style muffler dual exhaust system are looking pristine. Plenty of other features and adding too numerous to mention are available for your perusal if interested, just ask!
Undercarriage
Underneath this machine is supported by a powder coated Schwartz Performance G-Machine chassis. It has Schwartz's Performance front suspension components in the independent coilover arrangement with tubular control arms and rack and pinion steering. On the back is a 4 link with coilover setup with Schwartz sway bars and Road Tech coil overs. Wilwood power disc brakes are in front which are a 13" with 6 pistons and on back are Wilwood 12" discs with 4 pistons. All power for these brakes so you can slow those horses.
Drive-Ability
I felt like I was in a futuristic rebuild of the Hurst era that goes like the wind. It has massive acceleration, plenty of ongoing seemingly limitless power, and great handling. The panic stop was a real key and it passed with flying colors. All functions were working perfectly and the LED dash was just a smash! Have a seat Linda, (Love Love).
With a huge binder of all aspects of this beautiful build and restoration we have a real winner of a promo car in our midst. It's near perfection and has the performance to kick someone else's ass into oblivion, all in mild mannered tasteful gold and black Hurst edition style. Go for it.
