Jack Douglas double COPO

Later in the model year, Douglass learned of the COPOs and ordered cars directly from Chevrolet. These cars are not on Yenko inventory sheets and are sometimes referred to as 'Dougkos'. Maybe 20 cars with body numbers in the 3034xx range. Most if not all seem to have been badged and striped as Yenkos.

At least 10 still exist; two of them are white with black vinyl tops. None of the 'Canonsburg' Yenkos were white.

Thanks William, the rift I was referring to was when Douglass learned that 1969 Yenko Sports Cars were simply COPOs with Yenko stripes and badges, and he tried to order the stripes and badges through Yenko's catalog to badge them himself. I know Don and Douglass agreed to pay a royalty for Douglass-prepared Yenkos. But did Douglass also sell stock double COPOs without the Yenko stripes/badges, and circumvent their agreement with Yenko?
