Welcome

Speaking of Hurst cars - there is a 1969 Daytona Yellow Yenko Camaro listed on the inventory sheets sold to Hurst by Spencer with the word "Demo" and it appears to have been picked up at the Yenko Dealership. Anyone have more info on this car?

I believe that the Hurst Yenko Camaro had the automatic shifter installed by Hurst for some unknown reason. I was told that it may have been used as a photo shoot for shifter installation for Car Craft mag. I have never seen this story though. I also believe that this is the car that Doug spoke about that is still in the hands of its original owner in Erie Pa. The car has been a drag car its entire life. Doug has 69/70 era photos of this car that have just been found.

JoeC,
Sorry I didn't respond to your post on 9/8. I didn't see it. I talked to Brian and now remember you from the supercar reunion.

Beautiful shots of the Nova's. I think that the Deuce shot has the Central badging on the left side of the trunk lid. Any ideas on that badge? That might be an Orange or Red car.

Thanks for the great pics Doug. The Hurst Nova paint scheme looks like the other Hurst cars from 68/69/70. The Deuce Nova color looks like Daytona Yellow or Hugger Orange but it is difficult to tell. Maybe you can compare the contrast to that big Chevrolet decal on the car that normally was a dark blue.
Marlin - What month was the first Yenko Deuce Nova built? Was it before the 1970 Camaro Z/28 or the 1970 LT1 Corvette? If it was that would make it the first use of the LT1 engine in a production car. Just a trivia question.

Doug,

Great photos - thanks for taking the time to post them to the board! Can't wait to see the rest of them!

Joe,

We'll have to wait for Marlin's reply on the LT-1 Nova production dates, but I can tell you that LT-1 Corvettes were being built right from the start of 1970 Corvette production (which began January 5, 1970). I believe Camaro/Firbird production began in late January/early February 1970 and I would imagine that LT-1 powered Z-28s were available right from the start too.

Regards,

Stan
