Default Re: 1969 Douglass Yenkos

It is not about money to me. It is about maintaining an accurate history of the Yenko cars. This is why the Mecum ad bothers me. It advertises a white Yenko Camaro as a "true Yenko" but it is well documented that Yenko choose to build his 1969 Yenko Camaros in only 6 colors and white was not one of them. It should be clearly stated that this car was ordered by Douglas and striped by Douglas and was not done by the normal Yenko process. Mecum should not call it a "true Yenko" because that description does not inform the reader of the controversy that this car is not on the Yenko vin list. It is up to the individual to decide if they consider it the same as the other Yenkos. Some people do not consider it a "true Yenko" and some do, and the ad should reflect this. The ad is misleading and corrupts Yenko history.
