Brigance 67 Z28 help

Hi, it looks like there some of you on this thread that know about Brigance Chevrolet. I own a 1967 Z28 that was purchased at Brigance. It is gold with black stripes and so far it is the only 67 Z28 from Brigance known to still exist. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Later in the model year, Douglass learned of the COPOs and ordered cars directly from Chevrolet. These cars are not on Yenko inventory sheets and are sometimes referred to as 'Dougkos'. Maybe 20 cars with body numbers in the 3034xx range. Most if not all seem to have been badged and striped as Yenkos.

At least 10 still exist; two of them are white with black vinyl tops. None of the 'Canonsburg' Yenkos were white.

Thanks William, the rift I was referring to was when Douglass learned that 1969 Yenko Sports Cars were simply COPOs with Yenko stripes and badges, and he tried to order the stripes and badges through Yenko's catalog to badge them himself. I know Don and Douglass agreed to pay a royalty for Douglass-prepared Yenkos. But did Douglass also sell stock double COPOs without the Yenko stripes/badges, and circumvent their agreement with Yenko?

When Jack ordered the double COPOs he had no intention of putting stripes and badges on them. He only did it because Don and Jack got in a argument when Don found out he ordered them and he agreed he would pay for stripes and emblems. Some cars were not striped but all seem to have the emblems but in a different placement of regular Yenkos

One FG Douglass car from the first batch was 124379N578878 BDY 202456, thread from '02 still alive here...

Someone at Douglass found it and figured out Yenko was no longer building Super Cars, but buying COPOs and just adding stripes/badges. Douglass ordered some COPOs and then ordered a bunch of stripes and badges through Yenko's performance catalog. Don found out and jumped in his private plane for a nose to nose with Jack. I thought that was when they agreed to a royalty payment to Yenko for Douglass-built Yenkos.

On a side note,were Dons sYc emblems & stripes available over the counter to the public from Dons Dealership back then?
If so,what would prevent a guy from say buying a Copo through BERGER in Michigan,then ordering & applying Dons sYc emblems & stripes on it?
Would Don want a nose to nose with that guy?

You are right until you said he wanted to sell them as Yenkos he was going to sell them as copos but since he had a deal with Don to sell his Yenkos thats were the problem was. Then Don and Jack made a deal were he would purchase stipes and emblems and sell them as Yenkos.

Thanks for the clarification. So per the greement with Yenko, all Jack Douglass COPOs were sold as Yenkos. Wonder if he lived up to the agreement.

It looks like all had the emblems not all had stripes. I think they were delivered with the D90 stripe so he had to repaint the fenders to put the stripes on.
