Yenko Cars with Hurst Dual Gates?
1 Attachment(s)
Though I'm still learning in a big way-out the Chevy side of GM, I can't recall seeing many supercars restored with a Hurst Dual Gate shifter. Most all the autos I've seen restored were horseshoe shifter or column shift - I was surprised when I came across this ad.

If you've ever seen a restored automatic Yenko Camaro, odds are good it had a dual gate. Never saw one with the column shifter retained.

Yenko automatic N616074 was built with a factory console & shifter.

…. My Hugger Orange Yenko Camaro came with the Hurst Dual-Gate shifter … https://www.yenko.net/features/2002/July2002.htm |
Very Cool:cool2:, thanks for posting that.

The Yellow, 4-speed, bench seat Chevelle on that list is pretty interesting.
|
My Hugger Orange Yenko still retains it's dual gate shifter mounted in the original plastic box and I hang a air freshener off the removed column shifter nub.

There is a gold AT Yenko Chevelle that was said to come with a console and horseshoe shifter and a few AT Yenko Chevelles said to be sold with the column shifter.
I believe all the others had the aftermarket Hurst Duel Gate floor shifter conversion. There are a few different versions of the Hurst Duel Gate shifter. Some had a curved chrome shifter stick and some have the straight stick. I believe Yenko used the curved stick shifter although I have seen some restored with a straight stick Hurst Duel Gate shifter. |
The A/T Yenko Deuces were also converted from column shift to floor shift dual gate units from Hurst, but because of the bench seat Yenko installed the Hurst Auto Stick version which doesn't have the plastic box... While its certainly possible, I'm not aware of any A/T Deuces that were not converted - however, there are reports of the reverse lights not being wired up on some cars converted by Hurst in Mich.
