1969 Oldsmobile 442 Hurst Olds Numbers Matching Survivor.
Real 1969 H/O - Numbers Matching Survivor!!
This is a true factory built 1969 Hurst Olds! Oldsmobile only built roughly 912 of these incredible cars. Estimates are that only one third to half of the original cars still survive. Other than one repaint, this car is an UNRESTORED SURVIVOR!!!
The car retains its original numbers matching Olds 455 engine block and its original numbers matching OH (Hurst Olds) transmission!! The original OH transmission tag is still there. The rear end is also original, it is coded SH which is correct for 1969 Hurst Olds with AC.
The engine retains almost all of its original parts, including the two components that are considered the Holy Grails of the 1969 Hurst Olds engine: One being the extremely rare 1969 Hurst Olds only J 405233 intake manifold! This is NOT a regular Olds 455 intake modified to make it look close to a real 1969 H/O intake...this is the real thing! As you Olds guys know, legit 1969 H/O intakes are incredibly rare...if this part is missing and youre lucky enough to find one, they are absolutely jaw dropping expensive...8k - 12k dollars!!!
Second are the rare Hurst Olds D heads - casting number 400 370.
If the D heads are missing and you have to go shopping for them, be prepared for sticker shock again. If you can even find a decent pair of legit D heads for rebuild, they would likely set you back another 4k - 5k dollars. In the interior, other than the passenger seat bottom, the all original interior is pretty nice.
The car runs and drives very well. The transmission shifts fine with no unusual noises, however it does leak some when parked. The AC, radio and horn are not working.
Keep in mind, the car is a 72,000 mile survivor type car, therefore expect 72,000 miles worth of wear.
Rare and highly collectible muscle cars like this do not come up for sale very often these days. Especially one as rare, original and complete as this 1969 Hurst Olds.
You have options with this car:
Drive and show and enjoy the car as is. Or drive, show and enjoy it as is for now and possibly do an all out restoration on it later on down the road.
