If I can remember correctly it was also shown and judged at MCACN. Very correct restoration by Mike.

Indeed, Mike Slaughter owned and restored this car. He showed it with us at MCACN and it is a truly outstanding restoration of a very real car with known history. Mike sold it to the museum severarl years back.

It was shown at MCACN in 2010, I think?

I don't understand why they did the 427 conversion and left the Muncie shifter in it?

The 1967 Yenko 427 Super Camaro was marketed as an AHRA legal Super Stock drag car and many were built with headers, traction bars, SW gauges, Hi Temp ign. wires, scatter shield, and hood pins.

Hurst shifters were expensive and not required to race but were a much needed modification that many owners did.
