school me in H/O info..help ID this interior

This may sound like a rookie question, I thought I understood this option well, but am a little confused. Was there or was there not a 70 H/O? Was it just the pace cars? As always I'm looking at stuff I cant afford, but found this 70 S body that someone is claiming to be a Hurst car. I also thought all cars tagged in 70 with Hurst were Supremes or Convertibles.
I assume the door panels on this car are slightly custom, but wanted to see if anyone has seen anything like it. The steering wheel seems a bit unique, at least from all the 70 a body's I've seen for a while. Anything on the cowl or VIN to indicate anything different than a 442? (I doubt it's 442, since all the badging has been removed, but it still was repainted with stripes and a wing.) I think this person (dealer) aquired this car not knowing anything about Oldsmobiles and is just hoping he has something special. Anyway, just curious!!
Thanks!

H/Os were only built in the following years: 1968, 69, 72, 73, 74, 75, 79, 83, and 84. The car in question has a bottom-of-the-line interior. The VIN will tell you if it's a 442, Cutlass, or F-85.

Thanks guys, I got a couple more pics tonight, looks like it coul be a real nice car, but they don't know anything. The guy said it was a hurst with a 429!!!! (looks like a 350)
Now that I see the pics of the exterior, I remember this car listed on C/L at a ho dunk used car lot in tacoma. They wanted 20K! Not sure what happened but now it's for sale at Seattle Public Auctions. They usually try to sell stuff like this before they actually auction it off. If any body in the area is interested you should take a look. Who knows what it might go for.
Thanks again
