Newbie in Michigan
"I'd be that guy" *nice to be a new member here ...
I've acquired an 1984 "Hurst Old's" and I'm currently restoring it. I know a good many "G Bodies" were made here in Michigan, but what simply astounds me is that this particular car still seems to be quite abundant HERE.
In my daily go, I have seen (craigslist, in yards etc ...) more then my share of these which again, surprises me too no end.
Anyway I'm almost 100% done, and I am an HOCA Member as well. I LOVE the HOCA Forum ... but man is it quiet there ! Anyway, I'd love to see other 84" Hurst's (or 83's) and thanks for reading.
If your in Mich., perhaps we could meet / talk somehow ...

Welcome to C.O.! Yep if memory serves 1984 was million plus year for Oldsmobile so by shear numbers.......
I had a 1979 Regal sport coupe with the 3.8 liter turbo. Cool car but was the biggest POS I have ever owned.

Agree Pat ... I have several "80" Regals and can remember Turbo Failures at 30 K Miles ! ... *(I have a 1980 Regal) it had no A/C so I decided to "re-do" it ...
I'll get some Hurst Pictures soon ... *in the above "(remarking about so many Cutlass's) I meant the "Hurst" Packages.
*I thought they were a "limited" production.

Damn fine work on the paint and body did I see that Maaco did that work?
Known around here for lipstick and mascara work and terrible workmanship! A local ex-Olds dealer has done all my paint and bodywork over the last 20 years. Quotes have been 20% less than everyone else!
That brings me back! non A/C. I think I can dig up picture of mine, were ever it is. Mine was burgundy with a white landau roof and red bench seat, same wheels as yours.
