hurst dual gate

[Schonyenko2]

Not sure this applies, but Hurst auto sticks like were used in the Yenko deuces were sometimes referred to as dual gate shifters, as you could either put it in the drive position and it would shift automatic, or follow the shift pattern on the ball and shift it manually. Don called them dual gates in his deuce ads and the above explaination is what Marlin and I decided on as no actual dual gates like found in Camaros, or Chevelles have been found in a deuce. That application would be more logical, and appropriate I would think for a bench seat nova.
The actual Hurst give away car in the ad for auto stick shifters was a Nova.
