Re: 1969 Yenko Camaro Stripe Placement
I wasn't at Douglas Chevrolet in 1969 and I Currently have no pictoral documentation to support my info.
I have however,spoken to Jack Douglas on numerous occassions, as well as other fellow enthusiasts & Douglas COPO owners, who also support his claims.
I do have a letter signed by Douglas stating that He was the Authorized Yenko Distributor for Illinois and Wisconsin and that he striped and badged this car when new.
Douglas also states, that all his COPO Camaros were stripped with authorization and permission from Yenko. This is an interesting story itself. ( How else would he have readily obtained the stripe and badge kits, remember this was 1969 ).
The car has the 9737 sports car conversion package, X-11 D80 , am-fm blue dot 4 speaker stereo, bright pedal trim w/wood accents on the steering wheel and radio, with passenger grab handle and Glove Box lighting package.
It also has the Endura Bumper Option.
The COPO also has the butchered remains of an original chambered exhaust system.
I will scan some pics. once the stripes have been installed.
