1984 Oldsmobile Hurst/Olds — Well-Maintained Collector G-Body

When the muscle car era gave way to the fuel-conscious 1980s, Oldsmobile and Hurst Performance reunited to build one of the decade’s most recognizable performance cars — the 1984 Hurst/Olds. With only 3,500 examples produced for the model year, this is a genuinely rare G-body, significantly scarcer than many of its contemporaries and among the final collaborations between two legendary names.

The example offered here is a very well-preserved survivor showing 119,000 miles. Always garage-kept and consistently maintained, it remains in very good overall condition and stands ready for its next enthusiast owner. If you have been searching for an authentic, largely original Hurst/Olds — one that combines rarity, unmistakable styling, and one of the coolest factory shifters ever engineered — this car deserves your serious consideration. Slide behind the wheel, grip those Lightning Rod levers, and enjoy a slice of 1980s performance history.
