They are 2 different cars...

Exactly my point. Maybe I misread, but I thought someone said, "Same car."

another possibility is that this Chevelle was from Jack Douglass Chevrolet.

A Douglass converted 427 COPO may have had different placement of stripes and emblems even less consistent then the Yenko Chevrolet converted cars

the red Yenko Chevelle with side pipes was posted on team chevelle.

It was said that the original owner brought it to the show.

There were 2 pictures posted, this is the other and has a time stamp 9/22/2012

Just to add a bit more information about this car, I can confirm it was the original owner who brought it to the show. It was the Mid-America Chevelle Club show. The car has been around a few local shows since then and he has removed the side-pipes and a few other small modifications. I haven't seen it in a few years now but I've been told he still has it and has no intentions to sell. I also have some additional pictures of the car if anyone is interested.
