A perfect recipe... Oldsmobile iconic styling, power of a 455 engine, and Hurst performance!
Going into the 1970s, U.S. automakers were faced with a dilemma: how to keep muscle car demand up in the wake of skyrocketing insurance premiums. One way was to develop small-displacement cars like the Duster 340 and the Heavy Chevy. The other was to offer bigger engines in a mid-size body style whose VIN didn’t give anything away to your insurance agent.
This legend was born when George Hurst fell in love with the all-new Cutlass Supreme body style for 1970. He tasked John Beltz and Jim Wangers to build him an Olds super car in black and gold. It was equipped with the 455 power plant and Hurst's signature dual-gate shifter. Sadly, Oldsmobile declined the opportunity to work with Hurst to produce this car, so the black and gold 1970 Hurst/Olds remains a unique one of one.
While the life size counterpart of this rarity was only one of one, ACME made it possible for collectors to add it to their 1:18 scale garage with this stunning diecast!
