Mine was an 83 tan with a brown interior. 231/turbo 350. My second car was an 87 Supreme Brougham 350/turbo400. Biggest mistake of my life was getting rid of those cars.
First car was an 82 Cutlass with a 1/2 vinyl top and rally package. Went in to buy a Camaro, and came out with a Cutlass. all my friends would borrow it when they took their girls out though.
@@bepbep7418 Very nice . Mine had the anemic V6 but I was a penniless 17 year old kid so I was just happy when it didn't flood on a cold start and got me to where I needed to go. Luckily, life has treated me failry well and I've had my share of cars with nut but the nostalgia of your first car will always remain strong.
It's nice to see a Hurst/Olds 15 Anniversery Edition restomodded. You guys gave it the preformance it always deserved. Out went the H.O. 307 cafe motor in went the 455!
I was legit impressed with the opening monologue. That museum is awesome! That guy (the owner) must be single. A wife would never let you buy that many cars.
Man, am I glad that ol' Mr. Boshers here is still at it. I've been watching PowerNation since I was just a boy, back when PowerNation was called PowerBlock. This build is easily my favorite build that PowerNation has ever done. I adore G bodies, I always have. Particularly the Hurst/Olds and the turbo Regals. This Olds is spot on. I wouldn't change a thing.
@@Carl_Jr Thanks. But that makes it 15.44, about 2 1/2 seconds slower than expected with that drivetrain and horsepower on slicks. Something ain't happy.
I did the pest control in that building when it was still the Bunny Bread factory. My favorite thing about the building was a couple of rooms in the basement had floors made out of 4x4 posts that were cut into about 6" lengths and stood on end to make the floor.
Once again this is the sexiest car you have restomodded I love it so much. I just can't believe you chose the engine I wanted in the only non Ford cars I ever loved. Thank you for indulging me
This is my favorite build you guys have done. I used to have a white 85 cutlass that I swapped a rebuilt 455 and th400 trans into when I was a young man and got into all sorts of trouble with her.
G body's are some of the last full frame Performance car's which I love!! I had Grand Nationals, and Monte Carlo SS's in my collection. Great Build Tommy and as always your dry humor is the best. What size and offset Welds did you guys come up with? Thanks for all the shows guys.
One of these days, you guys at Power Nation need to build an Open Road Rally Racing car. Nevada, Texas, Nebraska. Flat out on a public highway, Legally!
Can't remember if you guys put any frame stiffeners on this but I wouldn't be surprised to see those t-tops shatter lol. I had an 80 olds cutlass running 415hp and about 400ft lbs torque and it would shatter the rear window when I took off. Had to let the window sit loose with out trim so it would survive. Squeaked alot lol
You must not have any knowledge or spent even a day at the track, G body is a legend in the hot rod world. Help yourself to a parts mag. As far as this dudes story , I call bs, I’ve seen cars with far more power 9,80s never happened , ever .
I know with everything invested into this car including the price of the car exceeds 32,000 and 7.80s in the eighth is pretty good for a naturally aspirated street car my 2011 Camaro SS with a new GM performance LS3 495 horsepower crate engine with CNC ported and milled LS3 heads a built 6L80e transmission with a Circle D 4200rpm lock up stall converter with other mods with stock 3.27 gears has gone 7.22 at 96mph running on E85 l have 31-32 thousand invested into it including the price of the car used car weights 3920 with me in it full interior and AC all motor naturally aspirated this time was achieved with just 6 passes
Yes. Idk why it happens, but it's not uncommon. Happened to me before. Stock buick 455 with 2.29 rear end and road tires went 9.1 at 78 mph, but with 3.50 gear and slicks, went 8.6 and slowed down a mph to 77. Guess it could be friction with the track or something.
Completely killed that launch. Driver must of jad a bad case of itchy cooch and funky vaginitas which was affecting the response and vision. That aroma must of been floating up ruining the vision and reaction time. Looked like a stock AOD launching w/ 150 k miles.
wow, went through all that trouble getting a mondello 455 engine and beefing drivetrain Only to put slicks on it and get stock 90s camaro numbers. kinda pathetic.
@@johnnyboyssite Thank you for getting back to me. 13.8 kind of slow especially with slicks on it. But Dr olds got lot of power out of it. I definitely take. Thanks again
@@markchapman2585 that 8.9 1/8th on street tires was probably a 2.5 - 3 sec 60ft . He stuck slicks on it and probably got it down to a 1.7 sec. with some more tuning, adjustments and practice, that Olds is a low 11 sec 1/4
Need to turn down all of the "CONSTANT" background music. so we can hear the sounds of the engines in the cars, after all isn't that what this channel is all about???????
Do us a solid please: it's a "strip", not a track. You took the Olds to drag a strip, not a track. It's a run, not a "lap". A lap or track have one line that is both the start and the finish line. Please stop discussing drag-racing with words, descriptions and phrases that are incorrect and meant for road-course racing. It's moronic, and completely misleading.
Why so dang SLOW? That's just terrible, my 5.0 LX with heads and cam 20 years ago ran that ET and MPH. Car guys want results, it gets so old seeing 99% of car shows spend allllll this money to go that slow.

Anyone remember Tommy’s “ that thing got a hemi?” days ?
That old dodge commercial at the stop light lol
Wasn’t Tommy…….
Was that tommy? Never thought about it
Nope, it was a comedian Jon Reep.
Great. So we all remember it.
Tommy makes this show. He is lowkey amazing. Humble and capable. Thanks Tommy
Sounded like Lindsey Graham at first...
My first car was an 82 cutless supreme so naturally I thoroughly enjoyed this Hurst Olds video series. Great work guys!

@@mxperry Fond memories I'm sure.
I love that body style of the 442s. I would love to find one in good shape.
Where you located? I know of a very clean one here in CT. All original too, blank canvas.
My all time favorite car is the Hurst olds ( from Warren Johnson days ) if this car is ever sold I'd like to be in the conversation.
IIRC, they were actually 180 HP stock.
My ex's grandmother had an all stock Hurst Olds with lighting rods.

I'm so glad y'all put the granddaddy Granada in there today to.
That Hurst Olds is one of the best builds yet from this crew. I wish I knew more about 1/8 mile times and how good or bad they were.
converting to 1/4 mile it went from a 14.2 to a 12.3
@@andysteele4056 Thanks. Do you have the numbers for what the Granada ran?
@@mattfarahsmillionmilelexus
1/8 mile X 1.56 = ~1/4 mile
@@Carl_Jr Thanks. But that makes it 15.44, about 2 1/2 seconds slower than expected with that drivetrain and horsepower on slicks. Something ain't happy.
I'm almost sure I used to drive by Sir Vival in Bellingham MA in the 1970s. It was parked in front of a shop where Route 126 crossed over Route 140.

My Uncle bought his 83’ new off the showroom floor back then. Prettiest car of 80’s 180 horse v8’s……….
This is a perfect daily driver hot rod.
Really cool that they left it all Oldsmobile hard things do these days.ps
Go olds 🚀🚀
Thanks Tom. Good content.
I will put the Lane Museum on my list of places to visit in 2023.
Love the series I’m building 3 g bodies right now
I’m building a 79 el Camino, 1983 Malibu wagon and a 83 Grand Prix
Fantastic! 🏁
My dream car.
Appreciate the content! Hope yall had a great Gobble up the world day !😏
Oh man when they did the drag strip. I was hoping they were going to do a quarter mile time not an eighth.
the hurst olds. was rated at 180hp. they need to research the cars they work on first
Yep, I have an '84 Hurst waiting for restoration. Mine has the power moon roof- only 700 built that way.
I love Saturdays
Looks great! Just hate those buckets sans headrests 👍
G body's are some of the last full frame Performance car's which I love!! I had Grand Nationals, and Monte Carlo SS's in my collection. Great Build Tommy and as always your dry humor is the best. What size and offset Welds did you guys come up with? Thanks for all the shows guys.
An 8696, hell yeah!
Id play 'Raise a lil'hell' in the soundsystem and cruise down the road
Jeez almost sounded like a goodbye speech from Tommy.
Nice
Good luck 👍
🌠 🔥🔥🔥 Big Motivation
This make's ye 'ol berry's tingle!!!!
Converts to about 12.5 at 107 mph in the 1/4 mile.
Why didn't you guys get Miss Hurst herself, Linda Vaughn?
Nice stance
Thank you for taking them to the track. Very respectable numbers too. Is the Granada getting its own track episode?
Total different attitude
Car survived for 40 years before being molested
'83-84 Hursts we're rated at 180, not 150.
Theirs dyno'd 150 at the tires.
One of these days, you guys at Power Nation need to build an Open Road Rally Racing car. Nevada, Texas, Nebraska. Flat out on a public highway, Legally!
If all 4 of the Powernation shows gave their expertise to the race car you propose it would be very fast and look good.
When you're trying to hear the car rolling by and they won't shut up...
Can't remember if you guys put any frame stiffeners on this but I wouldn't be surprised to see those t-tops shatter lol.

That just shows this isn’t the platform to add power too. Imagine someone buying one of these brand NEW🥸

@@jerrygoldstein3028 🤣
There's back seat frames you can buy to stiffen it up.
Most tracks won't let you run full wheel covers because when they come off, they usually end up in the stands! lol
The public exposure TV offers makes many business owners bend their rules.
Guys, what will be happening with the Olds. I love the Build and truly want this car.
That has to be a 1/8th mile track. Never ran on one of those
They are common around KY , Tenn. , WV and Va. cause of the mountains. Only 1/4 mile track around me that somewhat near is Bristol.
Faster than the Grenada
How about you "re-center" that steering wheel. ;)
love the show... but that time slip is terrible for all the money spent... 50k turd lol
Whered that big ass scratch come from on the driver door after you took it off of the trailer lol (the car cover advertisement)

What the car should have been from the start.
Can you imagine if they dropped a 455 from the factory in these g-body cars back then🤑🤑🤑🤑sold out at a alarming rate but couldn't do it ☹☹☹☹
Make a regal and cutlass track episode
Yeah, done watching you guys. Sad, used to really enjoy your content.
Uh ohhh. Found the cry baby 🤣🤣
if u notice they totally skipped the startup of the engine with the Fitech.
i guarantee you they had issues with it.
9:90 from the granada?
You should do a 78 olds 88 Holiday next with a man. Trans.
The neck snapper seats gotta go.
Granada ran a 9.90@70.46 mph H/O Cutlass ran a 7.87@86.96 mph
Are hood bulges a necessary component? I’ve seen nice cars ruined by cartoonish bulges. This one is not too bad, a slight bulge.
So did it have a better time but a slower trap speed with the slicks? The no decimal point numbers are crap.
Yes. Idk why it happens, but it's not uncommon. Happened to me before. Stock buick 455 with 2.29 rear end and road tires went 9.1 at 78 mph, but with 3.50 gear and slicks, went 8.6 and slowed down a mph to 77. Guess it could be friction with the track or something.
I like what they did with this one, for the most part.
No way those new wheels are better than the originals, and the new interior is ugly.
That's a mid 10sec Olds 442 not too shaby!!
7.87 in the ⅛ is about a 12.3 in the ¼.
Wow, it took ~2.6 seconds to cover the final 1/8th? Talk about top end charge! 🤨
Take the T tops off!
What was the best time for each car
Where did you get the aftermarket hood?
Can someone please tell me what these cars ran?
You guys gonna sell it?
Dale Earnhardt color scheme?

Go find a real dragstrip where you can feel the wind in your hair at the big end.

👍👊🇺🇲
After all this money spent. 7.87@87mph in the 8th.This will be 12.4-5 ish in the 1/4. Not impressive.
Ugh 1/8 mile, lame.
It's still a mid 80s olds.. having driven one many years I can say that they are... crap at best.
Too bad we can't hear the motor run over your mouth.
PowerWasteoftime more like it. 30 seconds of actual power display and 21 minutes of wasted time.
Yall.remember when Tommy had long hair 😆
That Museum has to be one of the craziest places I've seen. Definitely worth a look. Yeah, the car came out awesome! What was the diff ratio?
Anyone know what the 1/4 would be with a 8.9 in the 8th mile. Is that around low 12 sec in 1/4.
would be around a 13.8 1/4
a low 12 sec 1/4 would be around a 7.8 sec 1/8 like he ran in this Olds
