There is a mileage discrepancy of about 6000 miles and not sure why, it happened before I purchased the car. ![]() The muffler and catalytic converter would be something else I would look into as I don't know how old they are Im assuming original converter.The rest of the pipes are fine. ![]() I bought this car about 5 years ago because it was such a solid car.The only problem it had was the paint as most silver GM cars had in those years.There was a little rust at the bottom of the doors but that was fixed right and the car repainted with a beautiful base coat clear coat factory color.Under the hood it is all original motor and trans and all it needed was cleaned up.The tranny shifts firm and engine runs strong.The car is a high option Hurst other then the T-Tops which actually makes it more rare as they did not make as many hardtops.The under side shows no sign of rust problems and is solid.The car sits a lot in my garage and I have noticed 1 or 2 drops of oil over a couple month period,looks like oil pan gasket has a slight leak.If I was to keep it I would put new tires on it as there getting age. Please call with any questions Jay 5 I reserve the right to close this out early. The radio and clock are inop ,other than that everything works. This a 1 repaint original car with original glass and panels, as well as interior. New tires were installed in December because of the expired date codes on the old tires. The heads have been rebuilt and harden seats installed to accommodate unleaded fuel, the a/c has been converted to 134a as well. As with all my cars, they are driven and made to be reliable. This car has lived it's life in Texas and has been stored in climate controlled space since 2008 that I know of. The decals are still available aftermarket. The pace car decals were in the trunk and it was up to the dealer to install them. The Hurst Olds was the Indy Pace Car in 1972 and several other cars were distributed among their deal network as promotional models. This is one of 499 2dr ht Hurst olds produced in 1972. These cars are old ,even if every component is new ,they can break, that is also part of the hobby. I really enjoy the hobby and enjoy visiting with other hobbyist so I ask if you have interest in purchasing a car advertised here, pickup the phone ,ask questions ,be informed and take advantage of buying a car from someone willing to tell you about it, instead of just buying a car at auction that you know nothing about. I have a small very well equipped shop that is climate controlled, but I am limited both by space and money, so they must be sold to move on to others I have already purchased. That being said, I have a group of friends that enjoy working on these old cars and they are all very skilled, most have well over 30 years building their own cars and restoring their own cars, we have a great time and turn out some great rides. To this date I do not know what happened to the actual car, I spoke to a lot of people with no positive info.My hobby is buying very rare classic cars and vehicles of special interest, I go through them and get them ready to enjoy, I date code tires for safety repair any mechanical failures and drive and enjoy until more come along. IT was trailered off to Olds, and very well received. We all worked long hours to finish the car, Project # 672, "Personalized Olds". I created the engineering emblems, they were not finished being cast in time, so they were sent later. Gold paint was applied to deck lid, wing, on hood areas, lwr side panels. ![]() Five Hurst wheels were installed, the car was sent to local body shop, George's friend. The micro switches were used to limit the travel of the wing, up or down. The alum wing was designed by us, and fabricated at a airport in NJ. we used light fixture diffuser eggĬrate, to match grill, sprayed flat balck. Relocated the frt turn signals, to inside frt bumper. We installed a "Dual Gate" shifter, w/ small console that we would sell. Olds motor was shipped in from Lansing, Mich. Had a certain responsibility of action to do. 1967, the car arrived at 50 west street road, Hurst Hqtrs.
