Well I must say that is very good news 454.It finally puts to bed the whole issue of striped Douglas cars and why they were made.Can't wait to hear more of what was in store .

No more teasing. For the past few years, I have been purchasing itmes of interest from the Yenko estate. Well, last night, I was able to acquire what I had been after since day one, the remaining paperwork. This consists of about 12-15 folders, filled with documents, brochures, photos, etc, related to the Camaros, Corvairs, Novas and Chevelles sold by Yenko. It will take awhile to sort through everything, to really tell what is there, but once we do, I will let everyone know what we find. Tom
