To clarify, Jack Douglass Chev was a Yenko franchisee for '69 and initially received cars directly from Yenko Sportscars, Inc. These are accepted as Yenkos and appear on Yenko's inventory sheets.

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.
