The 68 Hurst Olds (HO), and special is an under statement, is silver with black accents the later years went to white with fire frost gold accents. The all came with the 455 before such monsters could be delivered in a mid sized … by GM decree it was not to happen. ALL HOs were manufactured in Lansing then delivered to Hurst where the magic was supposedly added, we do know that's where the paint and cam shaft changes occurred. These 455 had some special items, one was the heads, the "D" heads were only available on the 69 and a few later years of HOs, non of the other production cars saw them. The cold air intake scoop air cleaner … actually had some FOMOCO parts, leading some to believe they were made for Hurst by Ford … Who knows ...
