"Released in 1989, First Issue"
In 1968 Oldsmobile partnered with Hurst Performance Research Corporation to create the unique Hurst/Olds which was a huge step up from just adding Hurst shifters as with earlier models. The limited regular production run of 515 Hurst/Olds (459 Holiday Coupes/56 Sport Coupes) started out as regular 4-4-2's, but were treated to numerous distinct enhancements, both cosmetic and mechanical. All cars were painted Peruvian Silver (a Toronado color) with liberal black striping and white pinstripes, exterior and interior H/O badging (unique to '68), and a real walnut wood dash insert.
In 1969, the Hurst/Olds returned, with a Cameo White and Fire Frost Gold striped paint scheme. This paint scheme was augmented by outrageous functional ram air mailbox hood scoops, a rear pedestal spoiler, 15" SS II chrome plated rims, European racing mirrors, and a 380-horsepower 455 cid V8 that was de-tuned slightly from 1968. 906 production Hurst/Olds Holiday Coupes were built, plus 6 prototypes and 2 convertibles for a total of 914 cars. Generating 380 hp out of the 455 cu. In. V-8, performance for the 1969 Hurst/Olds was 0–60 in 5.9 seconds and she could master the 1/4 mile in 14.03 seconds.
