There were some automatic Yenko Camaros, was there not? If so, were they column shifted or did they have floor console shifters?

Started life as auto on column, then got Hurst his/hers units.

Rob, were the columns changed out when the switch was made? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif[/img]

Nope. Knocked out the pin, and yanked out the lever.

Thanks for the info. One more question. OK, Two!
After I did a search, I found more info. There was supposedly two shifters installed. The Hurst his & hers (dual gate) and the Power stick. What was the Power stick ? I can't find any info on it. Were both shifters using the mini console like this.

2nd question. How many of the 200 69 Yenko Camaros were autos?

kato,
I'm not a Yenko book of info--but I'm looking thru Leffingwell's book-American Muscle--in the back under 1969 Camaro Yenko/SC 427---Production 201---30 with automatics.----------JoeG

I believe at least one yenko automatic was produced with a console and floor shifter. It was at the last reunion.

I believe Some of the Yenko Deuce's used a Hurst "auto stick" shifter which looked like a 4sp shifter and used a big rubber boot. Some used the Hurst duel gate like the 69 Camaro and Chevelle. The Hurst duel gate plastic console you show a link to is a repro that is pretty close to the original but not exactly the same. It is also made of material about 2x the thickness of original.
