Default Re: The Heartland Nova Reunion...Show pics!

Well, the connection is more with Hurst vs. AMC. Yenko had several Hurst items on the Deuces, obviously the shifter - which is significant because Novas were never available from GM with Hurst shifters, only the 124 4speed COPO Novas (122 deuces and 2 canadians) received a Hurst shifter. It is believed that Yenko had Hurst create the combination of the '69 Z28 shifter and GTO bench seat arm. Yenko used Hurst Olds 442 / Hurst Rambler SC mirrors on the Deuces, and the Hurst designed Rebel Machine scoop. Yenko obviously used the Hurst AutoStick shifters on the a/t deuces. Not to mention, Hurst likely performed the deuce conversions on the second batch of 50 deuces....

I understand Nikki used my deuce as her personal driver...
