Swivel Seats and a 455: A 1974 Hurst/Olds W-25 Pace Car Surfaces

Oldsmobile and Hurst Performance collaborated on nine special muscle car editions between 1968 and 1984. For 1974, the Cutlass S was chosen as the base, with 1,800 examples built. Among those, 380 were equipped with the powerful 455 cubic inch V8, making them particularly desirable today.

This example, a Pace Car edition, stands out for its unique features, including the famous swivel seats that rotated outward for easier entry. The car is finished in the classic Firefrost Bronze with white and black accents, and it retains much of its original character.

The listing highlights the car’s originality, from its numbers-matching engine to its documented history. While rust and wear are present, the Hurst/Olds offers a rare opportunity for collectors to own a piece of muscle car history with a distinct personality.
