I was reading an old Super Stock & Drag Illustrated magazine today, and I ran across something interesting. It was the August '69 issue, where the Yenko Chevelle was tested. In the article, it states that the car they tested was not the car they originally planned to test. They said the car they were supposed to get had an L-72 with AIR CONDITIONING! Here is what the article says:
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>"Originally, we had planned to bring out a Chevelle equipped with air conditioning and the Turbohydramatic box. Our premise, and Yenko's, was to show that comfort and speed can go hand in hand. That particular unit we had in mind was inadvertently sold, however, so we opted for the straight L-72 with 2.20 first gear four-speed and standard 4.10 rear."<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
I am assuming the a/c car was a demonstrator car that had a/c dealer installed, but...? Did they normally sell there demonstrator cars?
