Vehicle description
In 1979, fuel economy and emissions were king, horsepower was gone. Detroit shifted its focus from high horsepower engines to eye catching graphics and iconic badging from the past. Oldsmobile was no exception! In 1979 Oldsmobile brought back the W30 Hurst/Olds. From its black or white and gold paint, its gold wheels, Hurst dual gate shifter 350 4-bbl, dual exhaust, tachometer, bucket seats console and floor shifter the W30 Hurst Olds turned the conservative Cutlass into a very desirable muscle car and reminded us all of days gone by! Oldsmobile only built 2499 W30 Hurst/Olds in 1979. The W30 Hurst/Olds option added a staggering $2,000 to the sticker price of the Cutlass and was the only model on General Motor’s G-Body platform that was equipped with the L34 – 350 – 4bbl motor. And unlike the iconic W30 Olds of the past, it was the only W30 built entirely in Oldsmobile plants. Of the 2499 W30 Hurst/Olds built in 1979, I think it is safe to say many are no longer on the road and of the ones still on the road many have been modified, raced and abused. What is being offered is an extremely original low mileage, rust free 1979 Hurst/Olds. This is an unmolested 100% original 1979 W30 Hurst/Olds (except for the after-market stereo) that has been well cared for its entire life – a true survivor! The W30 Hurst/Olds has 96,395 original miles, L34-350-4bbl, automatic transmission, AM/FM/CD, AC, tilt, PS and PB. Everything works great with the exception of the voltmeter (works intermittently) and lighter. The A/C is functional but ready for a charge. The W30 has been driven but not abused, was repainted once many years ago and is ready for paint again. The clear coat is coming off in several locations as is the gold upper accent color in several places on the top of both front fenders. The black paint is clouding on the trunk and has it share have scratches and chips. Body is very straight with the only blemish being what appears to be a light rub against something along the driver’s door. Body molding on the passenger’s side is in great shape, the driver’s side is presentable but ready for replacement. – Not a show car but a very nice car to enjoy daily or take to cars and coffee on the weekends. The car is a real attention getter when cruising town and gets plenty of thumbs ups! The interior is extremely clean for being 42 years old. The seats, headliner, visors and carpet are perfect! The plastic on the doors panels shows a bit of wear but the cloth and carpet (on the panels) are perfect. All in all, the door panels are very nice! The dash has approximately 4 cracks or splits with most being up near the windshield (off the defroster vents) and one on the corner of the radio/heater control surround (all shown in photos). Mechanically the car is super solid and nice. The running gear is 100% stock! No major drips, slobbers or leaks, rattles, creaks or clunks. The car drives like a dream, pulls hard, shifts firmly, stops straight, and is quiet and smooth running down the road. Recent work includes new tires, new exhaust (nice sounding rumble and painstakingly built to exact stock configuration), tune-up, fluids, fuel pump, radiator and thermostat. I do not know what else to say about this super rare, super original 1979 W30 Hurst/Olds. If you are looking for one to drive and enjoy or do a full restore please take a look, you will not be disappointed! Feel free to contact Dean at with any questions. Thanks for looking and Good Luck!
