Is The 1969 HURST OLDS The MOST UNIQUE MUSCLE CAR Ever Built?

[@BigDaddysGarage]

A true work of art!!!

[@GarageGear]

It really was they didn’t have all the fancy machinery like we do now either. Still can’t believe one guy pin striped all those cars. INSANE!

[@johnfloyd838]

I have owned at least 25 cuttlass's when I was younger and I loved all of them they were very powerful machines and had a awesome looking body 😎👍❤

[@GarageGear]

Powerful machines indeed! 👍

[@tylerelliott6685]

my step dad has a 69 hurst olds that he hasn't moved since 1991 we finally started doing some work on it this year and i can't wait to get it running and looking nice again

[@GarageGear]

Awesome tyler! Thanks for sharing bud!

[@WhitieInVermont]

Beautiful vehicle JB. Outstanding!

[@GarageGear]

Definitely a Beautiful vehicle! I was blown away sitting in it! Crazy to think it’s 52 years old! Funny thing was it only took me about an hour or so to film. Normally it’s about 2-3 hours per car. This review flew by as fast as this car goes lol! Any plans for the weekend?

[@WhitieInVermont]

@@GarageGear going to be doing some gardening stuff. Supposed to be getting a bunch of rain.

[@GarageGear]

@@WhitieInVermont there ya go! I’m jealous we need rain! We’re almost to a drought stage I think lol! Hasn’t rained here in two weeks! Temps have been up too. I don’t think I’ve had my lawn struggle this early in the season before. How’s your lawn looking?

[@WhitieInVermont]

@@GarageGear looking good actually. I've used some lawn starter fertilizer and grubx this year. I wanted to make sure that I have the roots covered this year to make sure that the problem isn't under the soil. It's the only thing I could think of that I haven't tried. I'll put some more grubx out again in a few months. I'm also doing some container gardening this year. Potatoes, carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers and corn. Fingers crossed that everything does well.

[@GarageGear]

@@WhitieInVermont that’s awesome Whitie! Your meals are going to be all set for the next couple of seasons in terms of meals! As long as we keep getting some decent rain you’ll be good! 👍👍 my wife planted two apple trees last year so I hope we get some later this fall!

Olds rules 😊

[@GarageGear]

Sure do! 👍👍

[@williamduckworth305]

When i was a kid the hurst olds was pretty much what a blackwing is today...

[@GarageGear]

Thanks for sharing!

[@Jim-jl6ff]

That’s one BAD ASS 69!

[@GarageGear]

Sure is! 👍thanks for watching

[@SpaceCadet4Jesus]

5:02 You could fit a few bodies in that trunk. Its been done before. Usually when getting all your friends into the drive-ins for free.

[@GarageGear]

Haha what’s your record for most bodies in the trunk to go to the movies lol?

[@jsrroadrash3663]

What a beautiful car I remember one that sat in a driveway in the mid 70s didn't seem like it ever moved.

[@GarageGear]

It’s an amazing car!

[@dougtinsley1320]

Could have bought a beautiful example of a 1969 off of a local car lot in 1975 for $3350. Didn't have the $3350.....

[@GarageGear]

Thanks for sharing doug

[@jdamedeo]

My favorite muscle car of all time!

[@GarageGear]

It’s one of a kind! 👍

[@scvic2006]

This car is my white elephant. I''ve had a love of the 69 H/O since late 80s and have yet to see one with my own eyes let alone touch one.

[@GarageGear]

Hey sc! They are one of a kind! Thanks for watching! 👍

[@roccobattaglia6321]

Freaking awesome!

[@GarageGear]

Definitely an awesome car! One of my favorite classic cars for sure!

The actual list is 76 Hurst..Yenko level upgrades..or better. It's a bad badboy..even though it was a basket case. Holds the eluding record....shhhhhh! 2.15 miles in 58 seconds and I stopped twice. It will fly apart.. 6800 rpms=190 mph. Oh ****!

[@JamesSchonegge]

OMG!... In a 35.

[@JamesSchonegge]

No accidents. So the judge was easy on me.

[@JamesSchonegge]

My Dad made the little Blue Lemans...spring of '64 ..with a SD421. Its in my blood..Thanks to Pete Clamo.. for all his help!

[@JamesSchonegge]

Still the meanest GTO of them all..before you could get one. It had a hot 326..sag..top loader stock. Pure adrenochrome

[@silverstar4289]

Interesting that AC and fresh air package could work together. Most of the time, the configuration of Ram air, it what have you would make it impossible for AC unit

[@GarageGear]

This was a rare one! Interesting how they were developed! Thanks for watching

[@richardherron7670]

The video was excellent presentation by the young man very well spoken especially on an iconic legend automobile such as the 1969 Hurst Olds I had a 69 442 I loved it I'm getting me another one when I retire I went to school with a friend at the time who had a 1972 Hurst Olds it was a great car but it seems to be the 1969 we're the iconic years for all muscle cars especially for the Hurst Olds in which will always remain an iconic magnificent legend

[@GarageGear]

Hey Richard, thank you for the kind words! I had to do hours of research before filming this car but the more I did the more fascinated I was with this car. I really enjoyed learning about its history! It’s truly a legend! Thanks for sharing! 👍

[@richardherron7670]

@@GarageGear you are more than welcome your research was done very well and your presentation very professional and to do it on such an iconic automobile what's even better forgive me for sounding bias but I've always loved the 442 Hurst Olds I was raised up on Oldsmobiles truly iconic automobiles they were very luxurious they handled extremely well and they were incredibly powerful forgive me for sounding bias but the 442 and the Hurst Olds stood Head and shoulders above the Chevelle and the Skylark although these two cars are very nice that Oldsmobile rocket Burns deep in my heart keep up the good work have a great labor day weekend

[@GarageGear]

@@richardherron7670 everyone has their favorites or a place for each classic car in their hearts. I know a handful of classic car guys and if I got one thing wrong in this video I would have been held over some flames for an extra long time lol! There were so many iconic cars from around that time period. Again, thanks for watching Richard! I enjoyed hearing your side of the classic car world!

[@richardherron7670]

@@GarageGear thank you you guys do an excellent job when I hear others try to do what y'all doing all I hear are crickets and heavy breathing. Garage Gear you guys rock!! Looking forward to the next segment

[@GarageGear]

@@richardherron7670 appreciate it! I try to get right to the point with the videos and cut out the annoying stuff!I’ll keep you posted Richard!

[@SpaceCadet4Jesus]

For most unique, I'd consider the 1963 Corvette (Corvette line) as the most unique. BUT.....what a beauty the Olds was and is ! A true muscle car legend.

[@GarageGear]

Cool car as well! I love the history behind this car! They’re pretty rare! This one was loud as hell too! 👍

[@davidbell9130]

probably almost none exist now

[@GarageGear]

Nice but made by Demmer tool and die. I worked in the olds engine plant in 70

@@GarageGear cant drive it often with gas prices 😅

@@A-Vo5 same with my father in law right now. He’s got a 69 Indy pace car Camaro! Costs too much to drive right now. I guess you can see how many coats of wax you can put on it in the mean time lol 🤷‍♂️ Great Car!

[@413x398]

I'm not understanding why A/C could not be had with a conservative 3.23 rear gear.

[@GarageGear]

Hey 413, not exactly sure why it was that way. Those were your options back in the day. Couldn’t really find any more info beyond that. Thanks for checking out my channel! 👍
