1975 Hurst Olds W-30. Barn find! Been sitting for at least 20 years, always indoors. 455 olds upgraded with twin turbos!! One of the few Hurst Olds that was black with black interior!! Has some rust around rear window, typical of 70’s GM cars. Dent in RF fender. Interior was in great shape until the mice got to it, it will need a thorough cleaning! 2 new dash pads included with purchase. Also included is an additional 455 with new parts still in the box. Unknown if running, just want it gone! It was running when parked. (If it doesn’t sell soon, I’ll take the time to be sure that it runs). Currently has a title issue, but I know the history, I'll be going to DMV in January to resolve the issue unless it sells first. Power steering, power brakes, air conditioning, and also unique is power windows and locks!! “Hurst/Hatch” T-tops, 3 hurst mudflaps, louvered hood, hurst Dual Gate shifter, truly an amazing car!!! Asking $10,000 OBO.
You can be upside down in this car pretty quick. I love my 75 Hurst Olds and it handles and rides better than the two 72 Cutlass convertibles I have had. However the market for these cars is not nearly as strong as the 68-72 A bodies. With all the issues, this might be a $5,000 car.
I am not quite up to standards on how a turbo should work but isn't there supposed to be an intercooler for the intake air? And what kind of intake manifold would be used to introduce tha forced air into the engine? How would one control the pressure? Very confusing to me...

I agree with you Dan. It does look a lot like it. I still don't know how they close the hood. I don't think there is enough room under my hood for that.
Also, I am kind of a neat-nik and those rusty old exhaust pipes on the top of the engine would drive me crazy, assuming the rest of the engine compartment was kept clean. On that one, not noticeable.
Looks like it has a draw through set up like the old rayjay kits, I’m diggin it. Probably a custom set up using one of these
If I'm looking at this properly, air passes through the carb/throttle body, out the sides of that plenum thingy, at which time air and fuel run through the turbo? Then back into the front the the plenum thingy and down into any 4150 style intake manifold?
You are correct, this piece allows you to do a draw through setup while keeping a regular 4bbl and keeping it in an easy spot for carb linkage vs something along these lines.
