Wonder how many 83/84 Hurst/olds are really left????

[84hurst]

Chriscutlass I had taken some pic of the stickers but they came out like crap. I started to write all the info on paper and there are some but not all I can barely make out. Just need some time. When done I will pm you.

Hey i belive your talkin to me :lol: i ran across another guy that sent me to a site so between that and what i could see of mine i have the info. The process was pretty cool as far as how i got the info onto the blank stickers, it took some trial and error but i got everything where it needed to be on microsoft word then printed out a test copy, once that was good i lightly taped the decal to the printer paper and ran it though, then presto the info was printed on the stickers!

Add mine to the list of survivors, 1G3AK4798DM406505, 20,200 miles. Purchased from original owner. Had to give $4000. A bit rough, but very restorable, Texas car.

i wonder this all the tiem about the hursts and the 442s, i have a 442 so i am always watching for them, i find them being parted out ALL the time! i bought mine as a rolling shell, i have almost everything to make it 100% original again minus the motor. i would be terribly surprised if there were even half of the hurst olds and 442s left.... as most of the people on this site seem to look at them, "its just a 442", no one seems to realize how rare and badass they are.

Agreed.

Most people who post in forums like these take for granite something like an H/O or 442, but the reality of it is you just don't actually SEE these cars out there anymore. Heck, in my neck of the woods, you couldn't blink without seeing another G-body Cutlass on the road in the 80's/early 90's, but I NEVER once saw an H/O or 442 driving around even back then. In fact, in 91 when I was working at a dealership, a guy came in with an 84 H/O. I never even knew they existed up till that point!

So yeah, these things are getting rarer by the minute considering how little were made and how many of them have been parted over the years. As long as we don't ruin our H/O's and 442's by putting in SBC's, we can keep the spirit of Olds alive!

I've seen one that I can remember, not including brians 79 h/o. I saw it sitting at a light while I was pumping gas. Looked real clean, but definitely did not sound stock.

I actually saved on Hurst Olds piece by piece...
This guy was slowly parting one locally and I wound up buying the front clip, rear, some other patts and the body with title over a few years time...
I found the correct trans, wire harness, computer, carb and all the other Hurst goodies over the years as well so now I have an 83 Hurst Olds but its all in pieces 😀
