This 1974 Oldsmobile Hurst/Olds is one of a reported 380 examples produced for the model year. It is equipped with a 455ci V8 engine paired with a three-speed Turbo Hydra-Matic automatic transmission.
The car was originally finished in Ebony Black when it left the factory and was refinished around 2010, according to the seller. Under prior ownership, it was repainted black. The roof features black vinyl with a white simulated targa bar, complemented by gold graphics and W-30 stripes on each side. Additional Hurst/Olds decals will also accompany the car.
Powering this Hurst/Olds is a replacement 455ci V8 engine installed before the current ownership. This engine is equipped with an Edelbrock intake manifold, a Holley four-barrel carburetor, and an Edelbrock chrome air cleaner. Service performed in March 2025 reportedly included an ignition tune-up, cleaning of the fuel system, replacement of fuel lines and sending unit, coolant servicing, and an engine oil change.
The car features gold-finished 15″ Super Stock III wheels mounted with 235/70 Hoosier Radial GT tires. Braking is handled by power-assisted front disc brakes and rear drums, with the front brake rotors and pads replaced in March 2025.
Inside the cabin, the front bucket seats swivel and, along with the rear bench, have been reupholstered in black vinyl. The air conditioning system has been removed. Appointments include power steering, a center console, a dual-gate shifter, and an AM/FM radio equipped with an eight-track cassette player. The Sport steering wheel sits in front of a 120-mph speedometer, accompanied by a combination gauge displaying fuel level, oil pressure, and temperature. Below the dash, an aftermarket fuel-efficiency gauge is also installed.
The mechanical five-digit odometer shows approximately 15,000 miles, with around 150 miles added under the current ownership; the seller notes that the odometer has rolled over.
This Hurst/Olds W-30 was purchased by the seller in 2015 and is now offered for sale in California. Documentation includes a dealer invoice, a warranty booklet, manufacturer’s literature, and a clean Montana title registered to the seller’s LLC.
Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a TH400 three-speed automatic transmission. Decoding the data plate reveals further production information, underscoring the car’s authenticity and heritage.
This well-maintained and documented 1974 Oldsmobile Hurst/Olds represents a rare opportunity to own a classic muscle car with desirable performance upgrades and tasteful cosmetic enhancements.
