eBay Hurst/Olds

[olds307 and 403]

You need to see it in person. My brother in law bought one online, it looks like sh*t when it arrived, he filed for a refund and got it. He just picked up a 1997 BMW M5, very nice was mint until the shipping company slightly damaged it. It's always a roll of the dice when buying cars from a distance. The 83's are getting rarer to find in any decent shape, the only negative for them is the 7.5 rear. Get an 84, add even a mild 350 or 403 and your in the 13's no problem.

oh i'm not tryin to buy it, i was just curious as i'm not use to seeing a hardtop H/O, it just looked like a fishy buy for someone. I agree with cars looking better in a picture, the film hides alot of imperfections.

Looks great in the pictures, but as mentioned they can hide a lot (I'd never buy a car sight unseen for this reason). Probably well worth the price though. It looks like that may be a dent/crease in front of the DS wheel opening. Larger pictures would have been nice.

And yes - not all Hurst/Olds were T-top cars, I've seen plenty of hardtops.

Man, never buy a car site unseen. I screwed up and did it and I'm yet to drive the car ANYWHERE. It's not the problems that people mention that get you. It's the problems that they DON'T mention. If you do buy a car online and you're not going to be able to travel and see it first, ASK A LOT OF QUESTIONS. Even simple stuff like.. "Do Keys come with the car?". Any odd thing you can think of. That way, if they lie, you can get your money back.

I'm not too far from LaGrange and can tell you for 6-stacks in this area is not a bad price. Hell, most Chi-town have clunkers and try to get that much, if not more, for regular Cutlasses. Most times you can get more for a Cutlass than a MC SS.

The paint is going to need some work (stated it was a 20-footer and it has some bondo), as well as the interior but considering the lightning rods are there, the wheels are there and correct and it looks decent overall they'll get their 5600 Buy-It-Now.

I have everything to bring that car to showroom condition but he wants wayyy too much for it, and he keeps changing his price every week. It was at over $7k buy it now at one point and down to as low as $5500...
That Hurst is worth $4500 tops and I bet you it looks worse in person than it already does in the pictures.
The interior is sh*t and it's missing the wing tips, the fender is dented and the paint is done.
It's a survivor, that's it.
It has the original exhaust which is good for a restorer but it's probably done for so you know there was little maintenance done to car as a whole.

As for the impact strips, those are not factory or dealer addons but rather ones you can buy in the store... freaking ugly.

Also, the guy is a lying about there being 248 Sand Gray interior models, he's a pure salesman looking to burn someone.
No one knows that exact information and it's speculated that there were around 5-600 of them with the way they are popping up more than the Maple interior ones. Who knows, but it's not that rare to have that interior color IMO.
