1966 Yenko Stinger for sale

[sYc]

Stefano; slow down and think about what you are saying. To me it does say that he ordered them, they hit the ground and they would not sell! Both Don Yenko and Donna Mae Mims have been quoted as saying that the cars became very hard to sale, due to the high cost of insurance. Much like was done on some the ZL-1s, Yenko even considered replacing the 427 with a less expensvie engine. Jim Mattison told me that the original order agreed to between Frank & Don Yenko and Chevrolet was for 500 COPOS. But, because of sluggish sales, Chevrolet allowed Yenko to reduce the order. To Jim's knowledge, this was the only time that this was allowed. (Gibb's situation with the ZL-1s was handled a little different). Are you quoting Jack as saying that the cars were hot sellers through out the entire model year? If so, we will need to rewrite the history books, because the accepted fact has been that these cars were next to impossible to sell by the end of the 1969 model year. Tom

Tom,
I agree and Jack also informed me that he was glad that he didn't have anymore orders comming in as the insurance Companies had literally blacked balled the cars here in Chicago where many were sold and the headquarters for some of the largest auto insurers were maintained. We are in agreement as to the effect auto insurance, or the lack of had on all 427 equipped vehicles.

I take the estate document for what is says and could read into it either way but it would not change the ultimate facts which have been thoroughly discussed here on the site.

I read every sentence/phrase and answer true, to the best of my knowledge and information.

Tom,
Here is Jack's phone number xxx-xxx-xxxx. If you want to here it from him direct then call him. He was there you and I were not and this way I can stop quoting him.

Those who have both inspected more than one Douglass COPO*Yenko car and spoken to him about the sequence of events have a different opinion than you on the subject.

Maybe in the spirit of compromise...If the Douglass car was sold new with Yenko Stripes and emblems it could now be striped as a "Dougko". And if you did it just right, most People wouldn't even notice.
