Brian,
Prout was not a Yenko Dealer and Prout never sold their cars to the public as such. The only tie between Yenko and Prout which I am aware of is that Don laid the ground work for the 9561 and 9737 Copo options. The 9737 Prout cars I have seen did not have the D80 spoiler options which all 1969 Yenko Camaros that I have seen carry. The prout cars are also very cool Super Car COPOs.

Where do you get your info., which says that Douglass striped the cars after he couldn't sell them? This was not the case,and the opposite is true. How rediculous is it, to try and infer that Jack could not have sold a 427 Double COPO at a Huge (approx 12%) discount to the Canonsberg Yenkos sitting next to them, especially all the extra colors and options his cars had available. Do you remember the Douglass news paper advertisements stating Yenko Super Camaros in Stock now, <font color="red"> all colors to choose</font color>.

Certainly it would take time to get 22-25 Camaros and 10 Chevelles striped and ready for sale. A reasonable person could conclude that that they were not striped while on the transporter.

Don and Jack had their conversation prior to his Direct order ever hitting the ground. Even Don let the cars sit in the radio active lot pior to having the stripes and Badges installed.

Did Don ever sell a 1969 sYc without the stripe option?

When Don sold a sYc Direct to the public was this on a Yenko Sports Cars, Inc. or Yenko Chevrolet ,Inc. bill of sale? (FMI)

Mr Gasser,
Ok smaller will do [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/frown.gif[/img] , see ya there. You bring the cigars this time.

I don't think there is any question as to your opinion that the Yenko name should not be associaited with the Douglass Direct ordered cars, but you have yet to come out and say it. We will certainly maintain our own seperate opinions.

The relationship has been noted, and the sYc nomenclature of <font color="red">'Douglass COPO*Yenko'</font color> will suffice IMO,on this site or future sYc events to identify and distinguish these 22 Super Camaros for what they are. I too want everyone to know exactly what they are looking at.
