The love of the Post Coupe cars has always been present. They are the ultimate sleeper muscle car. On the outside they are a basic car, however, the inside is a little bit different. Many muscle car owners ate dust from Post Coupes on the street. This 1968 Hurst/Olds is a good example of that. This Olds is 1 of 56 made Post Coupes and it was found in a garage in Oklahoma.
This 1968 Hurst/Olds is a real Post Coupe car with a very interesting story. According to Oldsmobile, the Post Coupe was the lightest and the fastest car from the Oldsmobile lineup. This particular was bought in 1968 by the original owner. He raced the car for 2 years and then he sold it to the second owner. The second owner bought the car in 1970. He bought the car when he was in high school and he drove it for 6 years. In 1976 he put the car in storage and never moved it again until now. The exterior isn’t perfect but it is very original and solid. This Hurst/Olds has a 455 V8 engine under the hood. In 1968, this engine was rated at around 390 horsepower, only one engine was more powerful and that was Mopar’s 426 Hemi engine. However, the 426 Hemi had less torque than the 455. This particular engine is not original to the car. This engine is a dealer replacement because the original engine blew up back in the ’70s. However, most of the engine parts are still original. Back in the ’70s, the original interior was replaced for a diamond cut interior that it’s still in this car to this day. Although it isn’t original, the interior is period correct and looks kind of nice. The interior is not in a very bad condition, however, somewhere along. the restoration I am sure that someone will bring it back to its original shape.
This is really a very solid car. It is very rare, very fast and it doesn’t have any rust. Although it has a lot of non-original parts, it still is a very good car. I am sure that with some work, this will become the muscle car that it was in 1968.
So, do you like this amazing and rare Hurst/Olds?
