Re: X-11 Yenkos
T Billigen,
Is your Yenko an early Production COPO? Would you mind providing the Build date.

Re: X-11 Yenkos
T Billegen,
The reason I ask is (yes ,it has to do with Jack Douglass)that all of the Douglass COPOs I have seen were ordered in this same configuration. Jack calls it the 'Yenko Blueprint'. He copied 'shippers' which were left in a couple of the first few Cannonsberg Yenkos delivered to his dealership. He noted that he added Endura Bumper(a rare Yenko Option) and a few other options or option deletes. He remembers alot of GM hype and dealer promo info.about the Endura Bumpers. He also copied Yenkos emblem placement. This has been consistent on all 4 Documented Douglass Yenkos thus far. Jack says that at least one of the first Yenkos delivered (the one used as a blue print) had the Chevy Bowtie still on the tail pannel with the Yenko Badge installed to the right but in parallel with its two own holes and no 427 emblem present. Does your Yenko have its original tail pannel and are there any "non traditional" holes in it?

Re: X-11 Yenkos
Yes, it still has the original tail panel and there are no extra holes in it. Yes that is my car, you will notice tail panel is black which is not correct and also the grill. When Charly did the resto in 1985 he also put the endura bumper on, it is supposed to have a regular bumper, which will be corrected later this year!

Re: X-11 Yenkos
bkhpah: Brian, what is your take on these last batch of 23 or 25 Douglas Copo's that Jack ordered direct from Chevrolet rather then thru Yenko. Do you think that since they were striped at Douglas's dealership rather than being delivered striped from Pennsylvania makes them less of or not even a Yenko? Or do you look at these cars as a little more of a rarity considering there are much less of them 23 vs. 25. I of course am partial to this subject now owning one of the "23" cars, but your opinion and thoughts on this subject would be appreciated. Stefano, can you add to this topic for us with some information as you are the resident Jack Douglas expert?
