Newbie Olds guy from Michigan

HurstLightning84 · November 5th, 2009, 10:32 AM

Hello all! Joined so I could get some mroe good info and pointers on anything Olds!! I currently own a 84 Hurst, which just rolled over 76K before storing it for the crappy Michigan winter. I unfortunatly just got rid of my 76 442 with a mildly built 455.... How I miss her already... But I have plans to build up another colonnade style cutlass as soon as finances free up. Hopefully I can get some good ideas!

What options does you 84 have and are you going to leave it stock or do you have horsepower plans for it

HurstLightning84 · November 6th, 2009, 11:02 AM

The 84 I'm going to leave stock, I just had the motor rebuilt to what it was from the factory, Like i said i plan on buying a 76 or 77 cutlass sometime and make a fun hot rod out of that. As for options it has T-tops, power seats, posi trac, power ant, the nicer radio, pw, pl of course. Someday it will be a show car. Its nice as it sits, but one day it'll get a nice paint job and have the whole undercarage detailed. Heres a few pics, In a couple of them the Pontiacs are my Fathers.

Nice looking Cutlass Ryan, keep it stock. That GP reminds me of one my now brother-in-law owned when he was dating my sister. He drove that thing into the ground, pretty fun car. Glad to have you with us.

wolfman98 · November 6th, 2009, 04:50 PM

Lovin87olds · November 6th, 2009, 05:53 PM

Welcome to the site Ryan,that's a really nice Hurst.I love those.

Jamesbo · November 9th, 2009, 01:25 PM

I'm looking forward to getting my 69 H/O signed by Linda in 2010 H/O day in Dalton, Georgia [Her home town]

What exactly is the procedure? Do you pay her? Do you bring your own maker/paint? What's the best to use?

Any help would greatly be appreciated cause I normally don't do shows.

HurstLightning84 · November 9th, 2009, 08:50 PM

I'm not sure what the procedure is normaly, I just happen to have a conversation with her after a show one year, and I asked her if she could sign it. But I happen to have the pen, I just used a regular Sharpie. During the show she was doing autographs for free. It was a really cool set up! She is an AMAZING person!
