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. Kurt

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. |
