1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass

This 1972 Oldsmobile Hurst/Olds is one of approximately 130 convertible examples produced for the model year and was acquired by the seller in 2012. Powered by a 455ci V8 linked to a three-speed automatic transmission, the car is finished in white with Hurst Gold stripes over black vinyl upholstery. Equipment includes a white soft top, a ram-air hood, Indianapolis 500 pace car decals, power-assisted front disc brakes, Hotchkis suspension components, 14″ Super Stock III wheels, air conditioning, a Hurst dual-gate shifter, and a push-button radio. This Hurst/Olds convertible is now offered with a reproduction window sticker, a Protect-O-Plate, a warranty card, a build sheet, an owner’s manual, a magazine, and a Washington State title in the seller’s name. The car is finished in white with Hurst Gold stripes and was reportedly repainted under prior ownership. Exterior details include a white convertible soft top, a ram-air hood, Indianapolis 500 pace car decals, Hurst/Olds badging, styled mirrors, and dual exhaust outlets with trumpet-style finishers. The grille trim is warped. Gold-finished 14″ Super Stock III wheels wear polished trim rings and are mounted with 215/70 Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 white-letter tires. A matching spare with an older Firestone Wide Oval tire is stored in the trunk. The car is equipped with power steering, and Hotchkis sway bars and rear lower control arms were installed under prior ownership. The removed factory sway bar is included in the sale. Braking is handled by power-assisted front discs and rear drums. The front bucket seats and rear bench are trimmed in black vinyl upholstery and accompanied by faux-woodgrain trim that accents the dashboard, center console, and door panels. A Hurst-Olds Indy 500 pace car badge is affixed to the dashboard, and appointments include air conditioning, a Hurst dual-gate shifter, retractible front lap belts, and a push-button AM radio. The passenger seat vinyl piping is worn, and the seller notes the rearview mirror and vanity mirrors are speckled. The four-spoke steering wheel frames a 120-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and a combination gauge for fuel level, coolant temperature, and oil pressure. The five-digit odometer shows 53k miles, approximately 5k of which were added under current ownership. The 455ci V8 was factory-rated at 270 horsepower and features a Rochester Quadrajet four-barrel carburetor, a ram-air induction system, and a blue-finished intake manifold and valve covers. An oil change was reportedly last performed in 2022. Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a TH400 three-speed automatic transmission and a rear axle with 3.23:1 gearing. The laminated reproduction window sticker shows initial delivery to Ferman Oldsmobile in Tampa, Florida, as well as factory colors, equipment, and a total amount of $4,983. A Protect-O-Plate, key blanks, a warranty card, a build sheet, an owner’s manual, and a magazine featuring the car are included in the sale. The current Washington State title lists an Antique brand.
