Cars And Zebras's video: 1969 Hurst Olds vs 1965 Buick Gran Sport - STOCK DRAG RACE

1969 Hurst Olds 455 vs 1965 Buick GS convertible - Pure Stock Muscle Car Drag Race (factory stock drag race) Our first car is a 1969 Hurst Olds with an Oldsmobile 455! Our second car is a 1965 Buick Gran Sport (GS) convertible with a 401! Both cars have automatic transmissions. The Hurst Olds has the TH400 3-speed with its signature dual gate shifter. The Buick has a Super Turbine 300 2-speed. As you might expect, the Buick is heavy... over 4200 pounds. The Hurst Olds is also fairly heavy, around 3900 pounds. The Hurst Olds is rare with only 906 produced that year (plus another 3 convertibles for promotions)... this isn't a run of the mill Oldsmobile 442 W30. The Buick is also fairly rare, only 1426 total Buick Gran Sport convertibles with automatic transmissions built in 1965. Both very interesting cars!
