Original Selling Dealer

[JoeC]

Did Jack Douglas say how many COPO cars he sold? If he purchased 25 to 28 sets of stripes and said he didn't put Yenko stripes on all his COPO's, it sounds like he had a lot of COPOs. From what I read, Yenko was the 1969 L72 COPO leader with 297, Berger had 50 COPO Camaros and about 10 COPO Chevelles. Emmert and Douglas had 20 each according to ED's site but ED may not have a complete list. Does anyone know what dealer was third in number of L72 COPO units sold? I guess it would be possible for a dealer to stripe a COPO and sell it as a Yenko car just as it was possible that Yenko sold a striped non-COPO car. There is that discrepancy of 16 cars between the photo of Don showing 350 units sold vs the 334 vin numbers that have turned up. On the other hand, the 350th sign may have been a rounded number just for publicty. I'm sure Don would have a good laugh if he knew there would be a few Yenko nuts that would try to figure out his business 30 years after the fact.
