This is my 1985 Oldsmobile 442 which sports the Legendary "Darth Vader" FE3X Hurst/Olds ground effects. I'm the original owner of this beautiful oldsmobile which has only 16,000 miles on it. It is the ONLY car known to exsist with the FE3X kit that was sold to the public. I also have an original complete spare kit and the original molds for the airdam,rear valance,flares,and hood scoop.The ONLY other car in exsistance is the FE3X known as Darth Vader and HE resides in the RE Olds Museum in Lansing,MI.,in the care of Oldsmobiles Special Vehicle operations and Oldsmobile Motorsports.It was supposed to be the 1985 Hurst/Olds package for 1985 but was knifed at the last moment.This car is truely amazing, and I was lucky to get a chance to drive it. Its too bad GM and Oldsmobile did not produce this car and make it a production model, because I they would of flown off the showroom floors.Designed by GM and Oldsmobile Engineering, and headed up by Bill Porterfield at the time, The FE3X is the Ultimate G-Body,now all they need is a GNX drivetrain to match their aggressive looks! For more pictures and info on my Vader 442 and the Darth Vader FE3X click on the link below and checkout my favorite links to see pictures of BOTH cars together,my 1983 Hurst/Olds and my 2,1994 one of kind convertibles equipped with Lightning rod shifters and Hurst/Olds and 442 packages.Checkout the links above for more DETAILED pictures, specs, and info.

AS much as I like teh GN/GNX/T-TYpes, yes Olds SHOULD of go teh green light (no pun) fromGM to built this rig- an dI just do not mean ground effects either. I wish this G-body Olds could of have a SUPERCHARGEd 307 with a 5-speed combo (with a Hurst shifter of course)!

5 stars and on my favortive list as well !!!Are you going to the 2010 Olds NAts in Mass?My parent use to own a black 1987 Buick Regal T-Type (sleeper versionof the GN). It DID NOT have teh We4 black-out package, but my Dda added all black bumper and trim , a couple years later. Had the Buick from Frb 1987-May 2007. Car was sold to paythe very high and very unfair property taxes in Maine

Holy Moly. The Fn holy grail of G bod rareness. I didn't know that Olds actually sold one of these publicly! This was the model that was in the running for "Grand National" type production run but was beat out by Buick correct? Are those fender flares the same as the GN ones? Anyone repoping new ones? Take a peek at my 84. Sure, not nearly as rear, but it sure is different.
