Default Re: Original Selling Dealer

I would think that a Douglas Chev. car with a set of Yenko stripes installed on it would not be a real Yenko car. A hi-po Camaro taken to Motion Performance for the stripe treatment doesn't make it a Baldwin/Motion car, does it??

Yenko cars were ordered by Yenko Sportscars, were double COPO's, had specific items installed - like emblems & stripes, were recorded on the New Car Inventory sheets for NHRA qualification, and then were distributed to other hi-po dealers in the Yenko Sportscars Network.

The Douglas Chev. cars do not follow any of this procedure, therefore they cannot be considered 'Yenko' cars just because they have stripes.

Consequently, I was not aware that this Douglas Chev. making Yenko SportsCars wannabe's was a real agreement. I had thought that after Yenko found out why they were buying stripes, he would not sell them any more!! Any info to the contrary??
