Those are a bit hard to come by, you know.

I can make an intake manifold for it! '

Only auto trans huh? Boy, that's too bad, all mine are manual trans

I suppose you need a closed car [not convertible] too?

There is one in Chickasha, OK. for near $60,000, or a poorly done clone on Los Angeles craigslist for $25,000. I just googled "1969 Hurst Olds" to find those.

Are you looking for a 442 or are you looking for a Hurst Olds? Your post is not entirely clear.

If an HO there is a nice low mi original car in Seattle for sale. On Craigslist. Owner is fishing for big money. There are several in NV that have been on eBay frequently the past few months.

Did you look at the Mecum 2013 Kissimmee results? There were six or seven that sold or didn't meet reserve. They ranged from $29k to $80k. At least three went for less than $40k.

That is a little unclear.
By specifying auto trans it seems that manual trans is ruled out... which is redundant if we are talking '69 _Hurst/Olds_ and not a "442 hurst" which might be a 442 with a Hurst shifter.

Let's use proper terms too, with attention to detail: the white and gold 455 powered Oldsmobiles are "Hurst/Olds" cars- both are proper names and consequently both should be capitalized. The slash has always been part of the correct name of the car, as far as I know. Can be shortened to "H/O" as needed. All of them have automatic transmissions.

Sorry about that convertible photo; that's not a '69 at all, is it?

There were 3 convertible H/Os made though, 1 wrecked by the Ford CEO, one in a museum and the other last i heard was for sale for about 675k.

If the price is right i will let me H/O go but it is not numbers matching but i do have the original protecto plate that came with it. But i love this car and will probably ask too much
