Verification Please

Just got the 83 Olds Hurst in this morning. The data plate and vin look legit but it does not have the anniversary dash badge above the clock. Is this correct or did they all have the dash badge. I have posted the pics and any advice or comments would be appreciated. Just wanting to make sure this is the real deal. Thanks, Chris in Missouri.

well I dont know If they didint come with the badge but,your car does have all of the other sighns that it is real,9vin, w40, lighting rods.+ if some one was going to put all that in a cutlass to make it look like a hurst/olds I don't think they would for get the badges.

It should have the badge for an 83 but maybe dash was replaced or the badge got lost or stolen....it was noly a stick on.... I was told if there is a 9 in the vin its legit.

I thought '84 was the Anniversary Limited Edition H/O...but what do I know? I can only wish I had one.

I see you wasted no time getting it in the garage! Is window tinting for your H/O in the near future? It looks like you are missing the radio also?

http://www.v8cars.hu/oldsvin/decode.php go here to verify your vin. 1983 was the 15th anniversary edition.
