1972 Hurst Olds Oldsmobile 455 rare survivor needs restoration 442 H/O 1 of 279

1972 Oldsmobile Hurst Olds Description

Please check my other auctions as well. I bought this car back in the 90's from the second owners. It is one of only 279 hardtops made that year. They had the car since 1974. They had quit driving it after a minor accident which bent the front bumper and grills. I had intended to restore the car back then, but never did. It's been stored for years and it does run and drive ( new battery ) . It is the original 455 and auto transmission in it. The original Hurst Olds air cleaner top was stolen off it under previous ownership, I think he said in 74 or 76. The points distributor was replaced with a Mallory Unilite and coil, I do have the original points distributor pictured. I think the original clock was replaced with a Sun Tachometer, nice vintage piece. There is a Pioneer 8 track player, no idea if it works or not. The right hand exhaust manifold sounds like it is leaking, and there is a tear in the headliner. Probably a couple other knick knack items also, but that's typical for a unrestored car of this age.
The carpet at some point got wet and was pulled out. You can see the rust but it's still pretty solid, and you can see the body rust in all the typical GM places of that period. I took a few pics of the worst of it.
All I've done is put a new battery in it from storage, run a hose over the outside and run a rag over the interior. It is a great project, and a rare find in any shape. Delivery depending on where you live, might be possible. Thanks for looking and if you have any questions, please ask.
