Anyone see one of these before? Saw on FB, but I've never seen one before this one.

they made those Hurst embs in the 60s too....they where originally for Hurst wheel equipped cars....hard to tell if they are new repops or originals..

its looks like a Jedi mind meld mix of Yenko and Dana vectors acting in a confusing direction :)

But I think the High Performance Center folded much earlier, like in 1968.

Correct, but the dealership had two locations that bounced around for a few years after. The 70 SS396 El Camino i almost bought was a true Dana Chevy delivered vehicle as it had pretty strong docs to back it up. Wasn't a motor transplant just valve covers carb and some other bolt on upgrades.
