Ohio COPO Dealers

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

Tom;
Joseph sold at least 6 '69 Yenko Camaros, including an Olympic Gold one, and at least 5 '69 Yenko Chevelles. I believe 3 of the Camaros are found, but I'm not aware of any of the Chevelles.

I have the name of the original owner of a white Yenko Chevelle and the vin number around here somewhere, he still owns the car. When he told me he bought it at Joseph, I was a little skeptical, I did not realize they sold any Yenkos.

Hmmmm;
The Dover White yenko Chevelles are Reggie Jacksons from Friedly Olds in Cedar Falls, IA, One from W.R.Austin in CT whereas the owner supposedly died (in it?), and one from Yenko Chev. that was junked in 1976.

I didn't know of a DW Y-Chevelle from Joseph, but I have the orig. owners of those 5 cars; Bishop, Hunt, Enderle, Mize, & Fehrman. Any of these ring a bell?

His name is Fred Plagman, Newport, KY. Dover White, no vinyl roof. Hunting for vin number, if I find it I will e-mail it to you. I have talked to him a couple of times, says he has all the paper work on the car.

I have a friend who says his brother bought a COPO Camaro from Jachshaw, promptly went out and totaled it and then went and bought another one. How many came from Jackshaw or Marv Minnimum in Youngstown. My old FG Yenko Camaro came from Minimum along with numerous Chevelles. I am about directly between the two dealers and the cars may be all around here.

Tom, our little Chevy Dealership here in Ashtabula, Ohio (Callender Chevrolet) sold a new '69 COPO Chevelle, white, to a John Popso. I remember looking at it at a gas station trying to figure out what it was!?! I was 15yrs. old and wanted a '69 SS Chevelle. Didn't get one until 15yrs. later.

There were at least 18 dealers in Ohio that sold COPO cars,and 5 were in the Columbus area alone. There were 3 dealers in and around Springfield, which is 40 miles west of Columbus, 2 in the Cincy area, a couple on the river, 4 or 5 in the Cleveland area and a few scattered around the state. And these are just the ones that we know about.
