My "New" Old Ride
<------- It is time to let someone else enjoy my 1981 T/A, so off to auction it goes.
I picked this up on a reccent visit to Texas. It is a 1984 Olds Lightning Shift. 80K origional miles, fresh paint ( decals go back on monday ) and is a LOT of fun in the Southern California Sun!   Last edited by Bidler : 09-11-2007 at 10:27 AM. |

Re: My "New" Old Ride

Re: My "New" Old Ride
I presume the shifter you were talking about are the "Lightning Rods" in the vehicle. For Olds, they were only offered on the '83 and '84 Hurst/Olds. The '83 was a limited production vehicle (15th Anniversary of the Hurst/Olds) with only 3001 made. I dont know the exact numbers for '84, but I believe the production numbers were very similar.
My gut says that the car is a Hurst, seeing that the 442 wasnt offered as an option package until 1985. You may want to look at www.442.com or www.oldsclub.com and link to the Hurst/Olds club for more information. Brian
