Lustworthy....although I have a question...was the 455 HO ever built as a convertible, or are those clones?

"Back in 1969, Hurst built 3 1969 Olds Cutlass convertibles to showcase their shifters, and they brought the lovely Linda Vaughn along to add to the over-the-top presentation. One burned, one is accounted for, but the 3rd went missing. These Oldsmobiles are far beyond the regular 442, as they featured a 455 cube big block Olds under the hood, backed by a Muncie 4-Speed shifted by - of course - a Hurst shifter. The white and gold paint scheme was wild, but it's impact was not even close to the giant a hurst shifter mounted on the trunk mounted platform modeled by Ms. Golden Shifter Linda Vaughn! Recently, this car was discovered as being one of the 3 authentic cars, and was treated to a spectacular restoration by Level 1 Restorations and unveiled to the public by Linda herself at the 2012 Muscle Car & Corvette Nationals. The iconic Olds is ready once again to wow the crowds at dragstrips with Linda waving to the crowds from the platform and giant Hurst shifter!"

The picture I took only has 1 '69 HO. What I dont find immediately is the pcitures of the H/O style Vista Cruisers that were there.

An old pic of my GP GXP...

A grand Prix like tht with a swap (V8) from a Monte Carlo SS would be a neat car.

Red for OCNblu....

I might still be a little in love with Mustangs....

One of the few Toyotas worth owning....

One for Camino, sometiems the simple cars like this are the best....

Thanks for the bus photo, Horse! You know that Grand Prix is a GXP V8, right?

[A Horse With No Name]

I did not know they made a GXP V8 Grand Prix, so thank you!

[ocnblu]

Yup, different front bumper and grille, Trans Am-style fender scoops, polished exhausts, special wheels with wider tires on the front, etc. - The Impala SS, Monte Carlo SS, Grand Prix GXP and Buick LaCrosse Super all had the 5.3L V8 driving the front whills. They were the height of W-body performance.

I did not know they built a V8 FWD Buick either....Thanks!
