Jack shared the story of when he and Jim Spencer made the deal for Douglass Chevrolet to become a Yenko Network Dealer. Jack, Jim and Don were acquainted via their road racing exploits.

The deal was for the 1969 Model year and they were not a dealer for Yenko Cars prior. To secure the Illinois Chicago Land Territory he was required to purchase a transporter load of Yenkos. He actually ordered two transporter loads, but could not remember exactly how many cars were on each transporter. He recalled that the two loads included Camaros, Chevelles and at least one Nova. Over the years I have acquired info on Three Chevelles, A Butternut Yellow One, Lemans Blue and Olympic Gold. I’d have to count up the Camaros but it is more, I believe 6 or 7 and those are just the ones I have kept track of. None of these cars are part of his later direct order COPOs, which was approx 25 Camaros.
