1984 Oldsmobile Cutlass Hurst/Olds review from North America
"One rare Oldsmobile"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing major has gone wrong with the car except the headliner is starting to show its age and is falling off the ceiling.
The under-hood light wire has disconnected a every time you try to re-connect it a fuse will blow. however its not that big of deal.
General comments?
This is the coolest car I've ever owned. its only got 71000 original miles, and looks as if it had just rolled off the line. I got all papers from cars & concepts (the place where the Hurst is put together, and its number 2455 of 3500 and rolled off the line mid February 1984. every thing is original. The tires needed to be replaced, but I put the correct Good Year Eagle Gt's back on them. and a new muffler, but it still sounds original, but with a little more rumble when idling. And of course the popular Lightning Rod shifters. Which can make you shift-on-command when you use them. plus one other cool feature about the H/O is that it came with a factory shift-kit. so far I've only took it to a few shows, but, it still turns heads. The car handles like a dream. its comfortable when driving down the highway, but corners like a trans-am. However the preformance is sluggish. I shouldn't complain, but it's a little slow on take-off. I hope to change that by little ajustments without messing up the originality of it. It truly is a rare jewel.
