Exterior appearance is bold and masculine, while not detracting one whit
from the tasteful Olds styling. In other words of one onlooker, it looks real
"gutsy".
Front appearance is dominated by the massive twin inlet air scoop and a flat
black painted grille; in the rear a functional air spoiler in stanchion-mounted
on the deck lid. The spoiler decreases drag and improves stability and handling
at higher speeds.
The Cameo White exterior is accented by three wide "Fire Frost" Gold
stripes. The widest of these is applied down the center of the rear deck and
roof, extending in narrower form through the twin hood scoops to the front bumper
and follows the fender line along the belt, terminating in a graceful upward
curve around the quarter window. The other extends along the entire lower edge
of the body.
All three stripes are given an extra custom appearance by being outlined
with a black, hand-applied pin stripe.
Positive identification for the Hurst/Olds is provided by three H/O emblems,
one each on the front fenders and a third on the rear deck.
Power is delivered through a performance modified Turbo Hydra-Matic and
Antispin rear axle.
Rear axle ratios are 3.42:1 for non-air conditioned cars and 3.23:1 for
air-conditined cars. An optional 3.91:1 ratio is available only for non-air
conditioned cars.
To permit automatic operation of the transmission-or punching up through
the gears-a versitile Hurst Dual/Gate shifter is installed in the console.
