Here's a pic of the rear, showing the "dual" emblems on the prototype 6 cylinder car... note the background is identical to the pic Tom posted, as the pics were likely taken on the same day.

Here's one of the weird LT-1 emblems i mentioned. Has anyone ever seen these in ANY old speed catalogs, etc? I don't know if Don Yenko had them made, or if he bought them from a catalog. I have never seen any others. (besides the other 3 I have that I can't seem to find now!)

Very neat info Joe. Thanks for sharing that and the pictures. Those LT-1 emblems are something else!

No offense but those LT1 emblems are hideous. I'm glad they never put them on any cars.

Those emblems look cheaply made. Possably fake?

I think that emblem looks Very authentic of the times.They were most likely diecast metal,then plated,and painted with a black background.They were Cheaply made that way originaly,and not overdetailed like someone would,if they remanufactured them today.
They resemble other emblems made back then,like Dealership nametags on trunks,and Interior door emblems,etc.
Very Nice.
