Lustworthy....although I have a question...was the 455 HO ever built as a convertible, or are those clones?

"Back in 1969, Hurst built 3 1969 Olds Cutlass convertibles to showcase their shifters, and they brought the lovely Linda Vaughn along to add to the over-the-top presentation. One burned, one is accounted for, but the 3rd went missing. These Oldsmobiles are far beyond the regular 442, as they featured a 455 cube big block Olds under the hood, backed by a Muncie 4-Speed shifted by - of course - a Hurst shifter. The white and gold paint scheme was wild, but it's impact was not even close to the giant a hurst shifter mounted on the trunk mounted platform modeled by Ms. Golden Shifter Linda Vaughn! Recently, this car was discovered as being one of the 3 authentic cars, and was treated to a spectacular restoration by Level 1 Restorations and unveiled to the public by Linda herself at the 2012 Muscle Car & Corvette Nationals. The iconic Olds is ready once again to wow the crowds at dragstrips with Linda waving to the crowds from the platform and giant Hurst shifter!"

The picture I took only has 1 '69 HO. What I dont find immediately is the pcitures of the H/O style Vista Cruisers that were there.

An old pic of my GP GXP...

A grand Prix like tht with a swap (V8) from a Monte Carlo SS would be a neat car.

Yup, different front bumper and grille, Trans Am-style fender scoops, polished exhausts, special wheels with wider tires on the front, etc. - The Impala SS, Monte Carlo SS, Grand Prix GXP and Buick LaCrosse Super all had the 5.3L V8 driving the front whills. They were the height of W-body performance.
