Re: 1969 Douglass Yenkos
Certificate of Authenticity
This Certificate will serve to verify the subject vehicle as a genuine, Jack Douglass Chevrolet sold, Yenko Camaro.
As owner of Jack Douglass Chevrolet in Hinsdale, IL. I was personally involved in the ordering, and sale of, all high performance Yenko equipped cars. As the authorized agent for all Yenko Sportscars in Chicagoland, I discovered that these COPO 427 equiped cars could be ordered directly from Chevrolet. From that point on, I ordered approximately twenty five COPO Camaros direct,and,with Don Yenko's authorization and approval, installed official stripe and emblem packages provided by Yenko.
These Yenko Modifications were applied immediately upon arrival of the cars at my dealership. Pursuant to my agreement with Don Yenko, these cars were sold to our customers as genuine Yenko Camaros.
I have inspected the subject car, and,based on its date of delivery to my dealership as well as supporting documentation, I verify that this is one of the cars sold under this agreement with Don Yenko of Yenko Chevrolet.
Signed: Jack L. Douglass, witnesssed and notarized.
This is the certificate Jack provided prior to this thread ever having been started and has provided similar letters for many years prior to this web site ever having been established, back when only two of these rare cars were known to exist.
The Ed Cuneen Copo Connection certificate is the same as any other Yenko Vehicle Verification certificate with Jack Douglass stated as the dealer of record.
Many have sent private e-mails as to how we know the color break down and the number of Camaros. Jack Presented a simple formula; there were 6 Yenko Colors available for the camaros so he ordered four in each of these colors initially. That would be twenty four. His General Manager, Tom Dumass always drove a black Demo and added one black one to the order. It was also Tom who realized that the order could be changed to vary the available color options.He discussed this with Jack and spread out the other color combos other than Hugger Orange and Daytona Yellow.
