Default Some neat photos I found on the net

Anyone know the story behind the truckload of Novas and 1 Camaro? All with mag wheels. I don't think I have ever seen either photo before.

Anyone know whos Deuce this is?

Can't tell for sure but it almost looks like a Yenko hood on the Camaro. Wonder if this was a load of cars destined for Harrell's shop or better yet, leaving the shop after conversions were made?

Great photo to be sure. So, that "Deuce" is a 6 cylinder I believe. It was an early rendition for advertising that YENKO put together to show the DEUCE package. Marlin will chime in. Pretty sure that DEUCE was shot in Canonsburg. It was used in newspaper ads in Pgh area!

The Deuce is the brochure car, 6 cyl with blue interior, just a mock up for the advertising.

I saw that car hauler as well and instantly thought of a load of Harrell cars....

To my knowledge there was no collaboration between Harrell and Yenko by 1968. No Yenko mass produced Novas in 1968 either...BKH

Wonder if Ray's car is part of that group.
