Default Re: Douglass Yenko Emblem Placement

Yenko,
When talking to the orig. owner to my Byrnes. Bros. COPO. I had mentioned that I had bought his old camaro and that it was a COPO camaro he had never heard of the term. He remembers them as being advertised as SS 427 Camaro's. He recalls seeing some Yenko's their but at the time there were about 7 "SS 427" Camaro's in the lot when he bought his. He was looking for a FAST camaro for a reasonable price and $3900,00 would do the trick. I even recall a member of this board buying his Yenko new and removing the stripes cause he thought they looked stupid. "Forgive me Don for saying that" Most people didn't even care they just wanted a FAST car. That is just my thoughts, I can't say if I would have wanted all that flare and attention bought to myself with the stripes and emblems. I like the SLEEPER look myself.
