Re: 1966 Yenko Stinger for sale
I thought this issue had been settled to the satisfaction of most. If a COPO that was delivered to Douglass can be proven to be in a group that is verified to have been sold as a Yenko, WITH DON YENKO'S APPROVAL, why wouldn't it be considered a Yenko Camaro NOW? By Yenko's approval and the fact that he essentially partnered with Douglass to produce these cars, the only distinction is that the Douglass cars never made a stop in PA.
Was a Camaro sold at Bill Thomas any less of a Nickey Camaro that one delivered in Chicago? I don't think so, because that was the arrangement the two men had, and, the cars were built the same in both locations. That same standard applies to the Yenko/ Douglass agreement.
I don't really care what value the market places on the two different Yenkos. A case could be made for either being worth more, or less, based on rarity & collectibility.
All that said, I DO think that a Douglass COPO/Yenko should be identified, and, documented as such.
