I will start off by saying that I have pined for a 69 hurst olds for many years
When I was a kid I saw a hot rod mag classified add in the back with a 69 hurst olds for sale it had the large h/o sticker on the rear quarter panel i remember thinking what a cool car. A few years latter after I had a 65 gto I was one on side of the road I pulled in talked to the people and got the owners
number the d heads were cracked and he pulled the heads and there it sat . this was in 87 or 88 he never wanted to part with it I called him two times a year and we talked for a while he still has the car he got it running and on the first or second trip out it was t boned I tried to get others but was just not in the cards fast forward to yesterday and I took possession of my very own 1969 hurst olds It is very solid but has been parked since 86 i think he said. The motor needs a complete rebuild from what i can see the body is solid but paint is showing it age has 5 wheels dual gate and steal ram air pan Let the fun begin

 

Hey, that's cool, glad you finally got one.

 

Congrat's on your new ride. There are a number of HO owners on site and they will want to know everything about your 69. Jamsbo will be crowing that no only is there another 69 on the site it's an HO as well. I will hear about it for days. What a neat find, hope you got a good deal.

 

I'll do my best not to be jealous, but I can't guarantee it. It sounds like a dream come true. I would sure like to see it. I'm only 6 miles from Stillwater.

 

mn 71 w-30 I would love to stop by this summer again But i dont think i will have it on the road that fast. I was going to sell betty (my 66 lemans) and get a good start on it with the money but the kids are not down with that so wheel see? you ever get out to withrow (sals bar or the withrow ball rm ) you will have to stop in 651 275 8380 shane

 

Well, congrats on the puchase, good to see it got to you safe and sound. Paint and striping information is readily available when you get to it. Did you get any original paperwork with it, build sheet, broadcast card, etc?

 

Congratulations on your purchase.

 

Looks good from the pictures you are showing. Congratulations!
I wanted one a long time before I got mine. I hope you get it on the road quickly so you can enjoy it.

What's she look like under the hood?

 

Awesome car!!! Congrats.....

NOW GET IT OUT OF THE SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I haven't been to the Withrow bar in years. I had some rough nites in that place.
I'll give you a call for sure. Don't feel bad sending Betty down the road. Stop by any time!

 

Welcome new H/Owner.

Does Jamesbo have one of those HO's?

I heard they modified a 1958 Sears and Roebuck "Ben Hogan's Magic Hole Putt-O-Rama" putting practice machine housing to make those hood scoop molds?
Is that true??

That car hauler is wild? I don't know if I would have wanted my car on the rear trailer, or were there another one or two trailers behind that one?
I've seen those road trains in things on TV from down under, move out of the way or a load of sheeps will run you over like a snowplow in Canada.
With my luck the hitch would break, the trailer would roll off into a desert somewhere, and the truck would keep on going.
Next thing I would know the car would be in Tijuana slammed to the ground rolling on 12's with a La Cucaracha horn blaring and dingleballs hanging from the headliner.

Those cars look cool photographed in the snow, pun intended.

 

Vera nice

 

I got the card you send in to hurst and some update info from hurst on tune up and tranny info It is on robs website as car 309 . I got some cool photo's from the car back in the 70's with some chrome slote wheels

 

hey blue vista while it was at the end of the driveway the mail lady came down the road and tryed to put the local press in the right snorkle .

 

They don't call 'em "Mailboxes" fer nutt'in.

 

For sure! Congrats. Always good to see a great car in the hands of a true enthusiast; someones who really wants it. To keep.
Quite frankly, I'm tired of seeing cars bounced around by resellers who are just trying to make money.

 

I second that.

 

Ok, that got an out loud laugh from me.....

 

.....Im lookin for a 66 lemans..!!! Humm...??? Got any pics..?

 

...Has anyone EVER noticed that on the 69 H/O's[ cutlass].. that the BOTTOM LEFT of the GLOVE BOX scrapes the lower part of the dash..?? Mine has the same SCRAPE...and Ive seen many others with it...I was gonna FIX IT but...Its kind of a FACTORY DEFECT so Im gonna leave it alone...!!..lol..

 

Mine has the same scrapes, even after repaints. I've tried adjusting it a number of times a number of different ways and I think it's a bit better, but still happens...

Al

 

Hows about taking the glove box door off and shaving the edge of the door a little so it won't rub?? '68s do that too sometimes

 

toyota wish's their factory defect was so simple

 

If you see a 1969 H/O with a perfect fitting glove box, it's a case for it being a reproduction .. yes, I've seen very few that fit well, sort of like the side view mirrors, they look cool but functionally are not worth a damn, impossible to adjust correctly.

 

way to go my freind .now you tell me, now i want to sell it cant adjust the mirriors how can i look at my self and see how cool i look in it .

 

That's what this guy was do'in. Not a good ID
