Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1972 Oldsmobile Hurst/Olds, formerly owned by Hurst executive Frank Airheart, was used during the 1972 Indy 500 festivities. The car has undergone significant refurbishment work in 2021-2022 and is powered by a 455ci Rocket V8 engine.
Condition
7
The car has had touch-up work performed on the paint and shows discoloration and imperfections. However, a lot of refurbishment work has been completed, including rebuilding the suspension, carburetor, and sunroof, as well as re-dying the front seats, and replacing the rear axle, water pump, fuel lines, carpeting, speedometer cable, and tires. This suggests that while it's not perfect, it's in overall solid condition with slight wear visible.
