This is a relatively low optioned car, with no A/C or power windows, seats, etc.
Having no A/C means it came with the 3.42 rear end gears.
It was built on April 4th, 1974.
Once again Hurst teamed up with oldsmobile in 1974 to produce the
limited production Hurst/Olds, which was the Indianapolis Pace Car that
year as well. 1800 H/O's were produced that year and only 380, designated
the W-30 package, came with the 455 engine, of which one is mine. The 350
engine car was designated the Y-77 package and was the only one available
for sale in California. The 350 version retained the 'Cutlass' script on
the front fenders, where as the 455 version displayed the W-30 decal in
it's place.
The car could be ordered in Cameo White paint or Ebony Black paint with
either a white interior or a black interior. You also could choose a white
vinyl top with contrasting black roll bar vinyl insert or have it the opposite
with a black top and white contrasting. As far as my knowledge, only the 455
W-30 package cars came with the Hurst Dual/Gate shifter.
A number of the cars were on duty at the Indy 500 track, but with the Indy
500 wanting a convertible, a number of white Delta 88 convertibles were striped
and lettered like the pace car and used for track duties. Also, 1 four door Cutlass
was made for Tony Hulman Sr.
