How many 1984 Oldsmobile Cutlasses do you see running around? About as many as a new Camaro COPO. But there were pushing 250,000 (yes, it's true) 1984 Olds Cutlasses out the door in 1984. SO...even as a grocery getter, even with nearly a quarter million units built in 1 year, they die off. So there's a good possibility of the 5th gen being a rare sight in 20 years.
And out of that nearly quarter million Cutlasses in 84, Hurst converted 3,500 of those Calais models to Hurst/Oldses for 1984, with Hurst being one of the first Teir 1 conversion companies to "upfit" cars from the factory. Mainly a graphic package (mid-80s standard fare it seems), but did have some special pieces parts like gearing, different engine, and VIN change. I've got #19 of 3500.
