1983 Hurst/Olds Cutlass

Wallpaper Description:

When the last Oldsmobile rolled off the assembly line on April 29, 2004, Michael Elmendorf got a knot in his stomach. Ever since he has a small child, he’d been attracted to Oldsmobiles, especially anything with the Hurst/Olds label. With Olds deep-sixed, Michael feared that the value of his idols would rocket skyward to where he would never be able to afford one. Thus began his Internet search for just the right car. In May of 2010, Michael unearthed this gem: an ’83 Hurst/Olds Cutlass. At just $8,850 (and just one of 3,001 produced), the mint G-body was a bargain, and the value could only go up from there.

Currently, Michael’s Hurst/Olds is completely stock, its 180hp 307ci Olds V-8 motor pushing the black beauty to a leisurely 10.77-second e.t. in the eighth-mile. A big fan of the Pro Touring movement, Michael has serious plans to up the performance in the handling, horsepower, and braking departments. At the front of his to-do list is swapping in a 6.0L LQ4 LS motor modded to the tune of 600 hp. Also on the list are ZO6 brakes, a Moser 9-inch rear, AFX spindles, SPC control arms, and 18-inch Forgelines.
