        Thanks for the offer Scott. I so know that you would help in a heartbeat

        That would truly be a HUGE score. Even if someone made a 1 of none like that, I still couldn't afford it. This one is just another cutlass ragtop. Think Donna will be pissed when I sell her car to pay for it?

        OK - - Teeter Auto Transport is who I've used to ship iron before Mike - not mine of course, I'm a Po-Boy .................
        Google them - tell Jerry that Phil from Mainfreight sent ya.
        Thanks Phil, for a second I thought both you and Rett were messing with me. I called Teeter today and got the same type response as I did when I called Dee's that Rett had used. I don't know why I expected them to answer the phone when I kept dialing the wrong number. So I will try again with the "correct" number this time

            1969

            1969 Hurst/Olds


            The Hurst/Olds returned for the 1969 model year. The biggest change was the switch from the silver and black paint scheme of '68 to a new Firefrost gold on white paint scheme. This would be the primary paint scheme for many Hurst/Olds models of later years. Instead of the dual ram air scoops under the front bumper that was used in '68 and other ram air '69s, the H/O received a functional "mailbox" fiberglass hood scoop with H/O 455 on each side advertising what lurked under the hood. A spoiler was mounted on the trunk and the car sat on unique 15x7 chrome SSII rims with Goodyear F60x15 Polyglas tires. The exterior was finished off with a pair of English racing mirrors, H/O emblems on the front fenders and deck lid, blacked out 442 grilles, and black hand-applied pinstripes. All of the '68 and '69 H/Os were pinstriped by one guy! Interior modifications included the same dual/gate shifter setup as '68 (with different woodgrain), painted gold stripes on the headrests, and a Hurst/Olds emblem on the glove-box door. The non-drive train modifications were again done at Demmer Engineering. Approximately 913 cars were built including 2 convertibles for Hurst promotional use.
            The 455 cubic-inch Rocket V8 received a slightly milder cam and produced 380 horsepower (280 kW) and 500 flbs of torque. This provided better drivability, particularly for air conditioned cars. The same engine was used for both A/C and non-A/C cars. The engine received a unique intake manifold, chrome steel valve covers, and a special vacuum operated air cleaner lid to allow cold air from the hood scoop into the carburetor. This was backed up by a specially calibrated code OH Turbo 400 transmission and 3.42 gears for non-A/C cars or 3.23 gears for cars with A/C. Optional 3.91 gears were available only for non-A/C cars.
            The Hurst/Olds was temporarily dropped after the 1969 model year because GM dropped the 400 cubic-inch engine limit for the 1970 model year, which permitted the divisions to install larger engines in their intermediate musclecars. For 1970, the regular 442 came standard with a 365-horsepower 455 Rocket V8, or an optional 370 horsepower (280 kW) version of same engine with the W-30 option. For 1970, Olds planned to bring back the Hurst/Olds, but as a lower-priced companion to the 442 with a smaller 350 cubic-inch V8 and special graphics. That planned '70 H/O ended up being introduced as the mid-year Rallye 350, which featured a bright yellow paint scheme for the body along with front and rear bumpers coated with matching yellow urethane. The next Hurst/Olds would be introduced as a 1972 model.


            sorry - after reading the article again it seems the W30 option may have been a 70 model only option.

              Pretty good reading coming from a Ford guy. H/O's are awesome and there are several "W" cars variations with the W30 being the best known. I had forgot about them building the convertibles. I still don't think they made that particular combo, but I do know the people that would know for sure. Maybe I can get some emblems and mailbox scoops and pretend I got one
