So I guess even with the underhood scoops folks still thought the engine could use more air:
But of course. That's what we did. I swear it loved the added air.
And those rear tires look a bit small for the fender wells:
Crazy how small our tires were back then. It would be like I was driving an altered with those tires. Still Did Oldsmobile proud. Bad *** car
You'd think Clint was talking about the HO instead of Melba Toast:
One of the AllTime greatest movies ever for depicting high school life in the seventies. The casting of the cars was just as deep as the casting for the actors. Love the pissed off Mopar dude. Ben Affleck right? The girls in the four door Ford. Everything.

A little update is that when the final numbers for 2021 are in, that GM will be second to Toyota in the US. Sorry, but that is the scuttlebutt. Poor management, unions, and quality control are all reasons.
For what they did to Oldsmobile I hope GM goes broke.
I will never buy a New GM car or truck unless it's a Oldsmobile! Yes you can put that in Stone.😂 Also I will not buy a electric car from any Ford,GM, or other company as long as I live. Signed dead set on gas.

Awesome comments on an Oldsmobile website. This thread is about how badass a 68 Hurst Olds is/was.
What's at your house? A kia? Seriously. What's your call? What do you drive? What does your family love and drive? Please share.

Absolutely. I recall in 1980 flipping the lid on my 1970 Supreme 350-4bbl one night while cruising and when I punched it from 30 MPH it broke the tires loose on the downshift. Fun times.

Ha ha ha. We are so old to understand that. I loved the deep sound. It would vibrate thru hood so awesome. Definitely no rice burner sound.
Carbs, GTO's, that was my 2nd car, a 1967 GTO that had a 1966 Tri-Power set up. Muncie M-22 I think it was, not sure. NEVER got them to run right, even with the fuel block I installed. It got 5 mpg around town. That was one of those cars where you would go around a turn and watch the gas needle go way down and NEVER come back up to quite where it was.
It had Doug Thorley bullet mufflers on headers and no tail pipes, I used to drown out the trucks in the Lincoln tunnel. Even better was driving down Washington ave in Bergenfield, NJ at 3:00 AM in 1st at about 3500 rpm and watching the store windows vibrate.
The '68 H/O was a fun car to drive. Power on tap if you needed it and civil and dependable enough for a girlfriend to drive. If they hadn't limited the number built, it would have reduced 442 sales a lot. Its one of my Oldsmobile's I wish I had now.
I always thought it was funny they flipped the air cleaner lid... I tried it on back to back passes at the track, the ET was relatively unaffected, but the wideband showed the mixture was way richer than the previous pass (0.4-ish increase) meaning the air charge was less dense.
