Default Re: Douglass Yenko Emblem Placement

Hi Dave, great post I couldnt have said it better. Tom you seem to be all over the place. First you say good work Clint for spending the time and money to document the way the car came new, with emblems no stripes. Then you say why turn a JD COPO into a Yenko.
Clint if I remember correctly in a previous post you talked to the original owner of your DJ yenko correct? Did he say he bought a COPO or a Yenko? Did stripes come with the car? Did emblems come with the car? Was it his choice if he wanted them ( I would think if someone went into Yenko and said I want one with no Stripes he would sell it that way). If I am correct Clint is the only person who talked to an original owner of a DJ Yenko, so at this point I would say he is the proof of what happened back than.
As for JD owners trying to turn a JD COPO into Yenkos for the money, that is ridiculos. In my opinion having the identical car with endura bumper, chambered exhaust and rosewood wheel isnt any less valuable than a Yenko. How much more proof do you need original paint cars with stripes and emblems. JD himself signing documents he had a deal with Yenko. Yenkos estate documents stating he sold Yenko emblems and trim to JD (do you think he wall papered his office with the stuff). Last but not least we have finally found an original owner to end any doubt. All this because a few guys would just like to put thiere car BACK TO THE WAY IT CAME WHEN BOUGHT NEW.
