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!

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?

T Billegen,
I am double checking, not to doubt you just to make sure I have the correct info.
A) the sheet metal/ tail panel appear original and never replaced?

B) No signs of filler or welded up holes to the right of the original bow tie holes?

C)How do you know that Endura is inncorrect on this particular Yenko?

D)How are your unique options documented to the Yenko.

C)are you showing the car at Jefferson?

Thanks for providing the info., the Yenko looks great. Did you buy it off that adv. or were you selling.

A The tail panel has not been replaced, I had a body man go over the car and is all original sheet metal.

B I just checked and there is no sign of anything done to tail panel. (welds etc.)

C The fellow that restored the car in 1985 told me he put the bumper on because he liked the looks of it.

D The only thing that seems to be different is the interior and the 68 spoiler and that has been explained by Brian and Kurt.

E Not taking it to Jefferson, anyone in the area this weekend is welcome to come and check the car over. I live about 60 miles East of Jefferson in Slinger. E-mail me and I will give you my phone number and directions!

Stefano, do you think Tom's car might have been a Douglas car based on the options it has? Other than the Douglas cars, and the #3 berger zl1, are there any other Copo's that have the 9737 and endura options? Tom, maybe your car came with the endura like mine? Do you have an amfm blue dot? What about exhaust? Since you have such a low mileage car maybe the exhaust is original? Is it chambered?
