Default Re: Yenko Optional Twin Sport Mirrors

You bring up an interesting point Marlin, I can't say I fully understand the Hurst shifter that was included on 4 speed equipped COPO 9010 Novas. Why necessitate the Hurst, obviously it's the superior shifter in terms of performance, but the stock Muncie unit was just fine in the '69 Chevelles & Novas, not to mention earlier Camaros etc. Is there any evidence of correspondence between Don and GM regarding the implementation of the Hurst unit? Wonder who figured out the Z/28 box and the Goat handle would work properly? There's got to be engineering docs somewhere. Kind of odd the Yenko Deuce is the only Chevrolet that wasn't a Camaro to get a factory installed Hurst shifter. Marlin your road race theory makes sense. The competition had Hurst, Don may have simply demanded it as part of the COPO. Wish we knew definitive answers to these questions.
