Oldsmobile Cutlass 307 V8 1984
General description :
VERY CLEAN, RARE LIGHTNING ROD SHIFTER, BELIEVED ORIG 307, A/C, NICE BOD/INT!!
Lovers of Olds performance take notice. Here's the swan song of the Hurst partnership. This 1984 Oldsmobile Cutlass Hurst/Olds with the cool lightning rod shifter, is one of only 3,500 that were built for the final year, and this loaded T-top coupe has been treated with he kind of respect its rarity deserves.
One look at the paint, and you can see this was certainly not a daily driver. We believe this is the original factory-applied silver and black, which has an exclusive layout just for 1984. The red stripes highlight some nice curves on the otherwise well-creased design. Plus, the hood scoop and deck lid spoiler practically scream "high performance." It's a design that gets to attract as much attention as a Buick Grand National for a fraction of the price.
Inside, the Hurst/Olds got bucket seats and a proper console, something few other Oldsmobiles of the era can claim. The burgundy cloth strikes a nice balance between premium and aggressive, especially when it has been this well preserved. But the real party piece everyone will be looking at is the special three-lever Hurst Lightning rod shifter setup that gives full manual control of the automatic transmission underneath. And yes, we noticed the factory tag still on those rods, too! It's this special structure that also makes the factory upgrade to a full round gauge pack so helpful. After all, the factory tach will be extra helpful in this Hurst/Olds. As a true premium coupe, it came loaded with power seats, power windows, power locks, cruise control, and tilt wheel. All of it looks original and complete right down to the factory AM/FM/cassette stereo. This one comes with the desirable T-tops, and thanks to air conditioning, you can take them out any time of the year.
Oldsmobile performance amounted to their rugged and torquey 307 cubic-inch V8, which it turns out, is virtually indestructible. Fortified with a four-barrel carburetor and rumbling dual exhaust, it provides the kind of old-school muscle that few others offered in the '80s. Just like the rest of the car's originality, the presentation is so authentic that we believe this is also the original motor. You saw the triple-stalk Hurst shifter in the interior, and on the road it allows you to get the most out of the V8. Plus, on days when you want to take it easy, just simply let the four-speed overdrive automatic shift itself. This one has more great features for both cruising and performance driving such as power steering and front disc brakes. It's all capped off by those flashy Oldsmobile Rallye wheels that have a great red trim ring to match the rest of the car, and they are mounted to proper Goodyear Eagle GTII tires.
If you miss the Hurst/Olds era like the rest of us, than an affordable final year car is the perfect addition to your collection. It's going to be tough to find one as nice and original as this, so hurry up if you want it to be yours. Call today!!

About Oldsmobile
Ah, Oldsmobile, the very name conjures up images of classic American automobiles and the open road. Let's embark on a leisurely journey through the annals of automotive history with this venerable brand.Our story begins in 1897 when a man named Ransom Eli Olds founded the Olds Motor Vehicle Company. He wasn't the first to build cars, but he was a pioneer in mass production techniques. In 1901, Oldsmobile introduced the "Curved Dash" Olds, widely considered one of the first mass-produced automobiles in the United States. It was simple, reliable, and affordable, making it accessible to the masses.
Fast forward a few decades to the 1930s, and we encounter one of Oldsmobile's most iconic creations, the Oldsmobile Rocket 88. This was a car that not only looked cool with its sleek design but also packed a punch under the hood. The Rocket 88 featured a powerful V8 engine, earning it the nickname "the first muscle car." It was a true American classic, a car that epitomized the spirit of the open road and the freedom of post-war America.
As we approach the 1950s, Oldsmobile continued to innovate. The Oldsmobile Fiesta, introduced in 1953, was notable for being one of the first cars to feature a fully wraparound windshield, a design feature that would become a hallmark of the era. It also showcased the brand's commitment to luxury and style.
But perhaps the zenith of Oldsmobile's excellence came in the 1960s with the Oldsmobile 4-4-2, a car that was both sporty and practical. The 4-4-2 stood for 4-barrel carburetor, 4-speed manual transmission, and dual exhausts. It was a muscle car for those who wanted power without sacrificing comfort. It was the embodiment of the American muscle car era.
Then there was the Oldsmobile Cutlass, a car that became an American institution. It was a family sedan, a sports car, and a luxury car all rolled into one. The Cutlass was reliable, comfortable, and versatile, making it one of the best-selling cars in American automotive history.
Sadly, as the years went by, Oldsmobile faced challenges, and the brand that had once been a symbol of American automotive innovation and excellence ceased production in 2004. It marked the end of an era.
But the legacy of Oldsmobile lives on in the hearts of car enthusiasts, collectors, and anyone who appreciates the classic American automobile. It's a brand that gave us some of the most iconic cars in automotive history, a brand that embodied the American dream of freedom, mobility, and style.
So here's to Oldsmobile, a name that will forever be associated with the golden age of American automobiles and the enduring spirit of adventure on the open road.
