The most desirable‍

The story of the legendary Hurst/Olds started in during the 1968 model year when a specially prepared 455-cid Rocket V8 engine-equipped 442 model (built by Hurst Performance) was released to the public. . The ’68 and ’69 models are the most desirable in regard to collectability; however, there’s also interest in the others, especially to hard-core Oldsmobile fanatics.

Doing a random search on eBay

‍A Scottsdale, Arizona, resident is one such Olds fanatic and while he already has a collection of some of the rarest Oldsmobile muscle cars (including a flawless 1969 H/O) but when he was doing a random search on Ebay one day—and saw a 1975 Hurst/Olds on auction—he figured he’d investigate the car and see if it would be worth bidding on.

It turns out the car being offered had a mileage figure on the odometer was extremely low: just 1,770 miles! After researching a little about the rarity of a 1975 Oldsmobile Hurst/Olds, he decided to click “watch this item” and wait the few days until the auction was to take place, and then try and win the bid.
