was there ever such a thing?

1979 Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais Hurst/Olds with T-Tops is what add claims.

Ultra cool. Never seen it before - but until I bought my GMC Caballero 6 years ago I never heard of them either so that doesn't say much.
I believe it may exist.

for $4,500 that car is just too good....something doesn't smell right

Like someone spliced the genetic code of 2 different wrecked cars to build one thats good...... :idea:

That looks way to good to be true. Something to good to be true most of the time is...

I am thinking the Hurst Olds may have been based off of the Calais, but not sure. I would also hope that someone wouldn't change the paint job and add some Irocs to a real H/O. Anyways, it is a very nice car though.

If that truly is a H/O, with factory T-tops, then it is one of 3 made, according to my sources.

Where do you get your info?
You might want to switch to a more accurate source. :lol:

They built 2,499 H/O's in 1979.
They were based on the Cutlass Calais and were one of the only G-bodies to feature a 350 (Olds of course) gas motor.
Approximately half were white and gold, the other half were black and gold.

That car was incorrectly painted all black. The bumpers should be chrome, and it's missing numerous decals and its correct 14x6 aluminum wheels.

$4500 is a fair price for a car that has been unfavorably altered...

P.S. And this really goes for everybody...
Don't show pictures of your car doing burnouts or brakestands in your for sale ads... :lol:

3 built with t-tops
Where did you dig up that misinformation?
Google my friend, it took me 30 seconds to get the right numbers:

1165 in Cameo White, 1334 in Ebony Black, and 537 came w/Hurst Hatch T-Tops
White with t-tops is the rarest t-top combo, not to mention one with a factory sunroof which may number in the double digits.

it all depended on how many drugs the guy pushing the buttons on the assembly line had done
