will be getting pics soon, its a 73 H/O, original engine with 117000 miles, has the alarm from hurst, and the digital tach ( stopped working recently) will look into it in the next few days. paint is faded and there is a small amount of rust under the back window, top will also need to be replaced, interior isnt horrible by any means but will need new seat skins, door panels ,dash and console in pretty good shape, runs excellent. car has a box of all the service records on the car for years, comes with the original hurst license plate and the hurst 8track tape. hoping someone may be able to help out on what its worth because i havent a clue.
pics to follow

Hello!
Cant wait to see what ya got!
Did you just get it or your looking to sell it?(I see now its in car so sale....Sorry)
Not sure which car you have but I have a pretty good collection of pictures an info on the cars that have been sold over the last few years.
PM me or email which ever is easier when you have time.....

savageboy69

Pm sent, I'd like to keep the car but running out of room since we mainly collect first gen camaros, but I gotta admit the olds drives like a dream, I was very impressed

Hurst/Olds 73/74

Is it black or white? Black or white interior? Inquiring minds want to know! Also, where in the country are you? Can't wait to see pics! A '73 H/O is on my short bucket list! The black '75 H/O in my signature was just a temporary fix until I can get my dream of a black '73 H/O!

Hurstolds1973

Its a white A/C car....
Soon as he send me pics Ill post them if he cant.

Hurst/Olds 73/74

*drool*

Hurstolds1973

Not bad... That rust under the top I am very familiar with! What a shame the top is rotted. The rest of the cars metal is in better shape then I would have expected.
AnyHO...
I said, sadly they don't get much money yet. As I said , the cars I restored went for 300 up and I haven't sold one restored for more then 14000. They just haven't come into their own like the 68, 69 and 72's.
I think if you have the ability to restore or replace the roof its a solid candidate for restoration. Its Vista Vent(moonroof) is nice option and so is the Harmon Kardon digital tachometer (Tac II).
I will pm you what I think its worth if your interested.
Sorry I thought you told me it was white.....
Hopefully it doesn't cause a divorce! LOL

Hurstolds1973

Sorry! I thought it was white!
Go get her!

Joe, it's a tachometer not a stereo. Harmon Industries made it. I believe they make railroad switching equipment these days.
Should a 73 H/O with a/c have a dual snorkel air cleaner?

Hurstolds1973

Yuppers your right!
I was actually installing a stereo tonight in one of my HO's. It slipped...
A 73 Ho with A/C should not have a dual snorkel. The A/C cars all had U in the vin number to denote a/c 455. The Dual Snorkels were on the V vin non air cars. It is my understanding that that the V cars with dual snorkel account for less then 10 percent of the 1097 produced in 1973. They also came with a hotter cam, k heads and a 3;23 posi rear standard.
Good stuff!

Hurst/Olds 73/74

OK, useless trivia time! In the Mopar world, "U" engine code in the VIN was a 440 Magnum with a 4 barrel carb, "V" engine code in the VIN stood for 440 Six Pack (Dodge) or 440 6 BBL (Plymouth). "R" was 426 HEMI. Now you can impress your Mopar friends.

Those black '73 H/Os are such nice looking cars inside and out. I'll keep an eye on this thread...

Hurstolds1973 - I enjoyed looking at your restoration albums. Glad to see you saving them.

Love that louvered hood. Cragars look nice on that car. Good luck with sale.

My bro had a '73 Cutlass Supreme with a bastard 403 (don't know where it came from. Bought from orig owner who claimed motor was original to car??). Car drove real smooth...until northeast winters ate it

texxas

Uh Joe, you sound like a pimp there. Wish I could say that. I've got to stick with one of my Olds.

StickW31

Nice hurst olds!!

Hurstolds1973

Well you can call me HO Daddy then! LOL

savageboy69

anyone know how to figure out the alarm code or perhaps reset it? the guy i got it from just bypassed it with a jumper

Hurstolds1973

Alarm code? If its original equipment it controlled by a key on the drivers fender above the Cutlass script. It is simple wiring system triggered by an open circuit at either door swtch or hood and trunk being opened. I do not see the Hurst switch so it has to be an aftermarket alarm?

Hurst/Olds 73/74

My '74 H/O had the factory alarm. The key hole was above the Cutlass script on the driver's side fender.

savageboy69

yea i was just looking through all the papers i have and the reciept is there from like 1985 when they had it installed, this one has a little number pad mounted on the console and i guess you have to enter in the 4 digit code for it to be able to start or something like that

Hurstolds1973

Get any bites on it? I see you have it on EvilBay.....

oldcutlass

There may be a pushbutton switch mounted somewhere to bypass it. You would have to hold the switch and then turn your ignition key on.

savageboy69

ive gotten probably over 20 messages on it, we will see what happens though

savageboy69

decided if it doesnt sell tommorow at the end of the auction, im goin to take it to the body shop and have them do all the body work, fix the issues under the top and repainted, lined up a guy to install a new top, or does a company make a replacement for it? then time for new interior. so if i still own it tommorow im guessing it should be all nice and shiny in a few months. if anyone can direct me to a good place to get the top material and seat skins ect. id appreciate it, thanks guys

Hurstolds1973

I was hoping it would sell and go to a good home and not be tossed around from garage to garage. Saving it from greedy people trying to flip it for a buck. It is a real nice car that deserves to be restored to its former glory as a gentleman's muscle car.

sammy

x2....savageboy,noticed car was off evilbay...did you sell it?

savageboy69

Nope it didn't sell, currently at the body shop now awaiting to be prepped for paint
