Hult Chev was not a well-known dealer but was part of the Yenko network. My research shows they sold 6 Yenko Camaros. I was chasing a JL-8 car some years ago; also came from Hult. By then the former owner was working at another dealership so I visited with him. No paperwork from the old store so I passed on the JL-8 car. He told me 3 of the 6 Yenko Camaros were totaled within a few years.

I have a friend that worked at Hult Chevrolet back then. He said he remembers 3 white 1969 Yenko Camaro's with black stripes right next to each other.

I thought i read and was told that Hult Chevrolet was known for selling it's share of performance cars back in the day.My survivor L34 Nova supposably was purchased there by the original owner also.

According to the original owner of my camaro, my car was sitting with 3 yenko camaros in the Hult dealership on the showroom floor (from june to october). That dealership supplied a lot of cool stuff back in the day (he received the first over the counter L88 (in wisconsin) for putting in his race car there). I talked with one of their old part counter guys there and he said most of their customers wanted the 427 engine (a pure copo w/o yenko affiliation)and could care less about a car being a yenko. Yenko had the dealership constrained (according to him) that they could not sell a 427 around the yenko dealer license. The dealership told the owner of my car to bore out the L78 block and you have a something close to 427 copo but it looked better (it had everything else on it, they ordered it that way, the zl-2 hood, M21, 4:10, HD cooling).

I think Hult (thorstat) was a pretty significant musclecar dealership in wisconsin in my opinion, versus being little known. I need to check the yenko chevelle list, I think more than a few of those were sold there if you check it, could be wrong.
