Greetings all!




My name is Michael Elmendorf. Last name is difficult for about 99% of the world population, so I am known as DORF for short. I have been lurking around this site for some time (as a guest) and finally decided it was time to take the intro plunge. Moving on, I would like to say I love this site! You guys are a wealth of information for a troller such as myself. It is good to find a place where the G-body gets the love and respect it so rightfully deserves.

My unicorn is a 1983 15th Anniversary Hurst/Olds - aka BOLT. I have wanted this car ever since I first laid eyes on one. And thanks to my Beautiful Bride (Vicki) and Craigslist, in May of 2010 a 26 year fantasy became a reality. I am one that never likes to see myself coming or going and owning this car pretty much assures that never happens here in Arkansas. Bolt is probably the most misunderstood car I have ever owned. I cannot tell you how many times I have been told "Hey that is a sweet SS you've got there" or "Is this a Grand National?". It simply boggles my mind! It is an Oldsmobile people, do you not see the OLDS in HURST/OLDS!? And forget trying to explain to someone what you have without them seeing it - they think you have a car you carry dead people in (HEARSE) - really pisses me off :lol:

I am glad to be a part of this forum and look forward to getting to know you guys 🙂


Here are a few pics of BOLT, Enjoy . . . .

Super clean SS you got there! HeHeHe. No, but seriously...........that's a gorgeous HURST. Welcome Aboard!
 
Welcome to the site 😀 Beautiful Hurst/Olds, an '83 has always been my dream g body. I have to agree with you on people not knowing what these cars are, I can't tell you how many times I've been complimented on my "Grand National" :roll:
 
Looks great
 
Thanks for the warm welcome guys. It is great to be part of a group such as this, and celebrate the G-Body.

I will be posting a build thread shortly with my plans for my H/O. I may offend a few of the Oldsmobile "faithful" with the powertrain I have chosen for Bolt, but I am keeping it in the GM family 😉

Thanks again for your kind words - I love this car 🙂
 
NIce!! love the Hurst/Olds package!!... What are your plans for it seeing as your warning the purist's?.. :mrgreen:
