32,800 miles. Extremely rare. Swivel seats & digital tach
1973 Oldsmobile Other W30 Description
Only 32,800 miles, very rare car only 1,098 built and very few survived. I don't recall ever seeing one on person. I personally drove it and it felt like a new car. I'm very excited about this car.
EXTERIOR: Amazingly clean body. When I say laser straight I mean it. All the panels fit really well, there is no rust whatsoever. It was repainted once over 30 years ago and it still looks like a mirror. There are some flaws if you look for them, standing next to the car it is gorgeous. They were offered only white or black, this one was born white and you would never know it. The Hurst features include gold stripes, louvers on hood, landau top with Hurst logo in quarter windows. It also features SS lll wheels in Hurst gold. They are excellent. The tires are a few decades old at least with excellent tread, this helps verify low miles. Another indicator of low miles is the original windshield in excellent condition. The moldings around the roof are excellent. Front and rear bumpers are original and still look very nice. Door jambs are very nice, weather strips are all soft.
INTERIOR: Very cool features like swivel seats and digital tachometer. The original condition certainly supports the low miles. It shows little to no wear. The sport wheel is always worn smooth in every Olds I get, this one still has texture. The entire dash area and console are excellent. All the knobs, dash pad, instruments and trim is excellent. Has a tilt, factory gauges and 8-track radio with original Oldsmobile 8-track tape. Carpet is excellent, new Hurst mats. Rear seat, package tray is mint. The swivel seats have excellent cushions and are not worn but has age cracks in the lower upholstery. Seatbacks are mint. The digital Hurst tachometer is extremely rare, this one has it but not functional. Of course it features the Hurst dual gate shifter too. Seatbelts are excellent.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Has the VIN number match 455. Used as a show car a long time ago it has a few upgrades. Some parts have been chromed. Has vintage M/T valve covers. Also upgraded with an aluminum intake and big Holley carb. Very clean and tidy overall. It features factory air conditioning, power steering and power brakes.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Inside the trunk compartment is completely clean, solid metal with gray spatter finish. It has a gray felt mat and underneath that is the original Oldsmobile mat. It also includes a space saver spare and a jack. Bottom of the trunk lid is gloss black. The weather strip is soft like new.
UNDERSIDE: Completely solid original metal. I don't see any signs of rust or repairs. Even the drain plugs right behind the rear tires are still completely intact and clean. It has the original turbo 400 transmission, looks fresh like it been rebuilt recently. The Hursts featured 3,000 stall converters. They also featured Rallye suspension. Has disc brakes in front. Cherry bomb mufflers and a rear swaybar.
I am excited about this car. It is a rare muscle car, sharp looking with cool unique features. I bought 24 cars and drove each one as they were unloaded off the trucks. This one drove the best. Tight, smooth, no rattles or wind leaks. I would drive it anywhere!
Dont think too long, there might not be another one.
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my professional impression of the vehicle.
