70 Hurst SS Nova Giveaway car - Page 5

The 69-70 Super Sport Chevelles had the magnum 500 wheel,(aka SS wheel),automatically included in the Super Sport package,so it won't show up as a seperate RPO code on the window sticker or buildsheet.
Their buildsheets denoted the SS center cap design though,(be it early bolt on or later push on),and raised letter or striped tires used on the wheels too.
Their window stickers & car shippers merely list,"sport wheels" under the Z25 or Z15 equipment.

I see in the assembly manual that It shows N66 as an option on the 396 models. In the box (MOD) second one down all the way to the left it states 11427 "396" ENGINE. I also noted that the center caps went from "bolt" on to "push" on type yet not sure when in the model year this change took effect. The manual says redrawn and redesigned on Sept. 9th 1969. Maybe this was a way for Chevrolet to make the 396 cars a step above the 350s. I do know that the push on ones are alot harder to come by. I do feel that the SS Novas could be ordered with SS wheels in 1970. Do the Yenko Deuces have the push on center caps and did Don place his "Y" over the SS decal? I was always curious about that. I know they are a late year 70 car being built in 1970.

Here are some items I found in my 1970 Nova brochure I lost my ability to resize due to letting my subscription to lapse. So here is the first of 3 pics.

Many of those resource books also state that 311 L89 novas were produced, and we've found maybe one. Not everything on those lists were gospel.I do remember trying to order them, and was told no. I don't remember ever seeing any other novas back in the day that had them either, but we all day 2'd them about as soon as we got them. Somebody needs to dig up a window sticker. I want to believe.

If you look closely at the red 70 Nova SS car in the 1970 Nova dealership pamphlet/brochure, I believe that the red Hurst Jackpot giveaway car is a picture of the same car but they just drew in the white lettered tire and cragar wheel on the left front... I'll bet that is what they did to advertise the car....

The Deuces were built in late May and early June of '70. The Magnum wheels on the Deuces were ordered directly from MotorWheel by Yenko, as well as the centercaps. The centercaps have the Magnum 500 plastic insert with the raised crossed flags, and are bolt on's. The Y decal was placed over this plastic insert, and when closely observed the raised flags can be seen through the thin mylar decal. On some original cars, the chrome has come off of the mylar decal, and you can actually see the plastic insert. Not all deuces received the Y decals, as one car simply had a handful tossed onto the front seat - apparently Yenko was annoyed that the buyer insisted on the wheel change like the brochure stated! So, that opens the door for the possibility that some Deuces sold at Yenko might not have had the Magnum wheels installed!
