Re: Can anyone tell me about an 84 Hurst Olds?
 

The 68 442 FWD was strictly an engineering study.

One thing that Hairy managed to teach everyone.... massive amounts of torque/horsepower to a FWD= Torque steer in a violent manner!!!!

It was definitely a Toronado and a newer one at that. As I said there were three of us "car guys" in the car and we all looked at each other like what the???? Back in the early 80's, people were just not building things like this just for kicks and it had all the correct stuff. Unfortunately, none of us had a camera within reach.

I once found a 69 or 70 Thunderbird GT 390 sitting behind a barn complete with Chrome vertical slats. I was told by some VERY prominent members of the Thunderbird club they never built one. About 6 months later (and after the car was gone https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/rolleyes.gif ) a friend of mine faxed me a factory photo of one that he found. As Cumby says, never say never........

You're talkin' a '71 and up Toro?.
There was a '73? Toro on eBay a couple years back the seller was claiming as an original Hurst car but the Olds site boys said BS at the time..
If the below pic works, that's a 67-70 Caddy Eldorado and not a '71 & up Toro isn't it?.

No, it was much newer than that and it was white with gold accents. Pictures are worth a thousand words but that was not to be at that moment. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

G body Hurst Olds are neat cars,usually a real nice one will sell in the 6-8K range.
don't expect thundering performance,they ran low 17's brand new,i believe.

beware of the advertised low milers out there without the original tires.
