Re: 1969 Douglas Yenko
We were voting? [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif[/img]
I've known about the Douglas cars for about 4-5 years now, after being made aware of them by another member of this board. I agree that Douglas Yenkos are Yenkos that were authorized by Yenko and built and striped with his consent. The corroborated evidence show that Don and Jack agreed that Jack could order the cars, apply the Yenko striping, and market them as Yenkos. What is a Yenko anyway? My definition would be: A COPO that was specially decalled as a Yenko and marketed as such. They basically were a marketing ploy for a special model. The Douglas Yenko cars clearly fit that definition. The car supported the marketing and they were authorized and supported by Yenko. I can't see that it matters if they were striped in PA or IL. BTW, nice research on the Douglas cars, Stefano. Attached is a pic of my 69 BB, didn't realize I had a Douglas Yenko til now. But the POP says Georgia??? [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/wink.gif[/img]
