1972 HURST/OLDS CONVERTIBLE. CAR #11 OF 54 INDY 500 FESTIVAL PACE CARS USED ON TRACK

MCACN CONCOURS GOLD WINNER! W-45 CODE! ONE OF THE BEST IN EXISTENCE!

This 1972 Hurst / Olds Indy 500 Festival Pace Car Convertible is without a doubt one the best ones in existence. It has been pampered and owned by one of the largest Oldsmobile Private Collectors.

Just two years after pacing the Indy 500 with the 442 Oldsmobile partnered with Hurst Performance Products to produce the 1972 Hurst/Olds Official Indy 500 Pace Car.

This was the first time in the history of the race that an aftermarket performance manufacturer had been part of the Pace Car action.
Driven by Indy veteran Jim Rathmann, the official car`s 455 V-8 produced 300 horsepower, while production version, comprising of 130 Convertibles and 499 hardtops was rated at 270 bhp.

Equipped with the Turbo-Hydramatic 400 transmission and 3.23:1 gears, all cars were painted Cameo White and given Black interiors with Strato Bucket Seats, Console and Hurst Dual Gate Shifter. In addition, they were fitted with unique fiberglass Ram Air hood with hold-downs and reflective Gold Pace Car graphics.

Today, fewer than 50 of the convertible pace cars are known to exist. The W45 code on its Cowl Tag and Build Date indicates that this car was one of the 54 Festival Parade Cars. Used for parade and display purposes before the race, this vehicle was driven by Committee Director Robert Kiley Jr. for track duties.

Here at Chicago Motor Cars, we make every effort to ensure that our vehicle will exceed the expectation of the most demanding buyers. Each vehicle is hand-selected by our expert purchasing staff, then handed over to our reconditioning team to bring the car as close to new as is humanly possible. Our goal is to offer the most exceptional pre-owned vehicles in the marketplace at unbeatable prices!

Please remember, every one of our cars has been enjoyed by their original owners, and these are not factory-new cars.

Cars leave the factory with unattached accessories (i.e. floor mats, extra keys, owners manuals, headsets, remotes, etc), and while it would be ideal to have all original accessories included with every car, this is not always the case.
