The 442 (or 4-4-2) was not Oldsmobile’s only mid-size muscle car. Sporadically from 1968 to 1984, Olds partnered with Hurst Performance to produce a limited-edition car with both Olds and Hurst goodies. Such was the case in 1975 when 2.535 copies were built on the Cutlass Supreme platform. This ’75 edition looks to be in good shape and has been upgraded under the hood – the original W-25 350 cubic inch V8 has been replaced by a W-30 455 (or at least a 455).

In 1975, you could order a Hurst/Olds in one of two colors, white and black. Production numbers were split roughly equally (1,293 in white, 1,242 in black). That could also be said for the W-25 and W-30, with 1.342 having the smaller of the two engines (1,193 had the big-block). There are no records as to how many of each motor came in what body color. The seller’s example sports white paint, but no mention is made as to whether it’s original or has been repainted.

Once inside the Oldsmobile, you’ll be treated to swivel bucket seats and removable T-Tops to enjoy the open air while driving. But when you don’t want them off, the car has cold air conditioning (factory?) to keep you comfortable. At 78,000 miles, we’re told the automobile runs and drives great, though we don’t know the mileage on the 455 (was it new when it was installed or did it come out of another Oldsmobile?). The car has an automatic transmission as that may have been the only choice in 1975.

This Oldsmobile isn’t a show car but should impress your friends and neighbors at Cars & Coffee. This is a rare vehicle that is seldom seen as most were either driven into the ground or rusted away. Located in Washington, North Carolina, this Colonnade-era muscle car is available here on craigslist where the asking price is $21,750.
