For sale in Minneasota a nice example of a original, numbers matching 69 Hurst Olds 455/450 HP ( 380 HP correction). This car could use re-painting, and a lot of detailing, the body and mechanical is restored, but 20 years on paint job, done by Bill Polk shows.

The Vin is 344879M3711406 making it #418 The mechanical work was done back in 1989, and I have the documentation for all parts used. I stored the original parts to be replaced if someone might want to in the future, like distributor ( I put in MSD, and had the dist. curved ), minus internal engine part, exhaust, suspension parts, rear end, pinion that stuff.

I Have letter from owner, Shop manuals "as built", ECT.

Things I didn't do, new carpet, (the interior is good no rips headliner tight), pin strip outlines, chrome wheels minor pitting by the extra welds done by Hurst for safety. Back then I had them use a new two part primer that would prevent checking of the clear over the fire frost gold and 10 whisper coats of cameo white. Problem is that there is some shrink ( some peeling by door jam and on driver door where a scratch was re-spayed) We used real lead. no "Bondo" the only filler is in the same the area that the factory used it post weld. All the bells and whistles, done to engine and suspension, internally ported, mated, polished, extra oil relief in mains, over sized oil pump, high compression pistons, much taller cam, re-cored Harrison brass Rad with high flow 4 way core or some such nonsense. Didn't clean up any wiring, or stickers. I was interested in a nice looking fast car, not a perfect show car. I took it to one car show once some guy pointed out the valve covers where on the wrong sides. I looked at his and they were leaking. I closed the hood and never looked back. Added all Neoprene bushings, new A arms, new heavier duty springs, all ball joints new, new brakes rotors all that, tighten steering up, had a GM guy weight and go through the OH transmission, All new larger exhaust with flow masters, higher stall torque converter installed, rebuilt same OH transmission, much firmer shocks installed, new gas tank, all new fluid lines, Replaced glass in windshield with proper code from Year One. bottom line, it scares most folks who drive or ride in it. 76K miles, 460 miles on rebuild done by Kenny at Total Engine Service MPLS, He also had a 69 H/O. I Will be posting pictures. Only serious inquiries please.

Broken link.

maybe this will work ?

 

Was the H/O 455 motor factory rated @ 450 HP?
I thought the '70 Chevy LS-6 was the only one.

 

Nope the 69 H/O was rated at 380 h.p.

 

James,

You are correct in pointing out that the original factory motor was rated 380 horse power. I had the original block bored 30 over with numerous performance enhancements resulting in higher compression and more horse power.

http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/hn...331083066.html By the way if some one was looking for a non running 69 h/o I might be willing to sell mine to trade up to a running car . this is a local car that was sold in the area and has been here for its hole life I have not seen it but could take a look at it if needed he started out much higher last year if you check his history.

 

I talked the the owner a couple years back about the Hurst. He's a nice guy.
