1979 Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais Hurst/Olds W-30 For Sale
This 1979 Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais Hurst/Olds W-30 is a rare and highly documented example of one of Oldsmobile's most distinctive performance collaborations. One of only 2,499 units produced, 1979 marked the final year of the original Hurst/Olds partnership - and the only year the cars were built entirely by Oldsmobile rather than being shipped to Hurst for final assembly.
This example comes with an extensive documentation binder, including:
Copies of internal Hurst communications outlining the production agreement with General Motors
Correspondence between the owner and the Hurst/Olds Club of America clarifying key details unique to the 1979 model
An original 1979 GM dealer marketing bulletin for the Hurst/Olds W-30 package
The original factory build sheet and a copy of the original window sticker
Hundreds of receipts showing decades of careful maintenance and restoration history
The car underwent a comprehensive restoration in 2003, and it continues to present in excellent condition inside and out. Finished in the unmistakable black and gold H/O W-30 paint scheme, it represents one of the most iconic color combinations of the late muscle era.
Power comes from Oldsmobile's 5.7L (350ci) V8 with a 4-barrel carburetor paired to a TH350 3-speed automatic transmission. The car retains its correct 2.73 rear gearing, front disc brakes, and rear drums, while a modern AM/FM radio preserves the vintage dash look with added functionality.
Recent maintenance includes a new fuel pump and battery installed this year. With its originality, presentation, and complete documentation, this Hurst/Olds W-30 stands out as one of the best-preserved and most well-documented survivors of its kind.
