Re: December feature car ...... COPO PETE's Nova
The original owner was a stickler for keeping records. The car originally came with a muncie shifter. Car was purshased Oct. 2 1970, and on Oct 13 1970, I have the bill from a speed shop where he purshased a Hurst shifter and installed it. That's interesting that this car came with the Muncie shifter and the Yenko's got the Hurst. I was thinking this had to do somthing with the order form and was also why the Yenko's came with M21 and the Canadian COPO's got the M20.
Marlin is correct, Central did originally order 10 of these cars but for some reason, Chev would only ship two. Original salesman confirms this, but does not know why!
