I think Jack Douglass was trying to badge & stripe the COPOs he acquired directly from Chevrolet as Yenkos. That's where the conflict arose. By June, Yenko had dozens of COPOs none of his franchise dealerships wanted because they were also stuck with them. Along with at least 110 other Chevrolet dealerships, Douglass was entitled to acquire 427 cars direct from Chevrolet and sell them. Just not as Yenkos.
I believe Gibb and Yenko went into the COPO programs believing they had exclusive rights to 9560/9561/9737. Yenko stated he had to pay a fee to Chevy for the COPO.
Misled, misunderstood, who knows. Probably a money loser for both.
