<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: William</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Hult Chev was not a well-known dealer but was part of the Yenko network. My research shows they sold 6 Yenko Camaros. I was chasing a JL-8 car some years ago; also came from Hult. By then the former owner was working at another dealership so I visited with him. No paperwork from the old store so I passed on the JL-8 car. He told me 3 of the 6 Yenko Camaros were totaled within a few years. </div></div>

According to the original owner of my camaro, my car was sitting with 3 yenko camaros in the Hult dealership on the showroom floor (from june to october). That dealership supplied a lot of cool stuff back in the day (he received the first over the counter L88 (in wisconsin) for putting in his race car there). I talked with one of their old part counter guys there and he said most of their customers wanted the 427 engine (a pure copo w/o yenko affiliation)and could care less about a car being a yenko. Yenko had the dealership constrained (according to him) that they could not sell a 427 around the yenko dealer license. The dealership told the owner of my car to bore out the L78 block and you have a something close to 427 copo but it looked better (it had everything else on it, they ordered it that way, the zl-2 hood, M21, 4:10, HD cooling).

I think Hult (thorstat) was a pretty significant musclecar dealership in wisconsin in my opinion, versus being little known. I need to check the yenko chevelle list, I think more than a few of those were sold there if you check it, could be wrong.

I am going to continue working on finding Chuck McCormick and seeing where that trail leads me. The 3rd owner not only had the build sheet, but also has the protect-o-plate and all the original info from when the car was bought. heres a picture of the car in late 1970.

the next wave of Day 2 additions HAS to be the stainless steel mud flaps

My 70 Z28 had them on it when I bought it in 1977.

I remember them everywhere ...

The car wasn't even a year old and already had the rear tires replaced (LOL)... The front tires still look almost new.

My Nova had them too...

Welcome aboard Russ!.

Regardless of build sheet info, is it sure this car was delivered new as a Hult or Thorstad car?.
Also regarding the 608 Washington address noted on the build sheet, was either the Hult or Thorstad dealership ever operating at this address or was it perhaps a billing address/offices?.

Best of luck finding your Dad's LS6!.

Hult was at 608 east washington ave. That is 100% correct. Thorstad was on park st. That other address is false. zip code is way off. That other one is milwaukee, and might have been humphry, but not hults.

[69L78]

Humphrey's was 53208.
