Default Re: 1969 Douglass Yenkos

Belair,
You are an Asterisk. I just thought that you meant the thread was only about $$$$.00 which it is not, at least not to me. The auction on the other hand is mostly about the $$$$.00. Its alot of fun too, usually. I just hope that Mr. Gasser has a bigger suit case than he brought for the last Douglass COPO*Yenko Which ran across the block.

I thought that this was over months ago, but it isn't there are still some underlying issues which need to get hashed out as they will most certainly come up again. I am not the trying to manipulate history or rewrite it to my satisfaction, just acknowledge that which took place.

I have many people who share Yenko/Super Car Stories with me about the cars which were lined up in front of Douglass Chevy and eventually street raced down North Ave. Not one person has ever made mention to me that they were anything but Yenkos nor asked who the MSO was made out to.

Here in Chicago and the Suburbs most people only know that they were Yenkos as that is the way they were advertised and anyone in the Know who was in the market either went to Nickey, Nickey ,Nickey Chevrolet, Ordered a Baldwin Motion, Built it themselves or Drove it off the lot from Douglass Chevrolet.

Heck there are still some who won't even acknowledge that there are a whole bunch of unfound Gibb Sold Super Cars converted by Dick Harrell.

The mighty sYc Dealer network which maintained many, many dealers sold 198 Yenko Super Camaros in 1969. Jacks accomplishments with his direct order as well as his portion of the 198 are paramount to Yenko History here in Chicago as well as anywhere in the country.
