Yes,

You say YES, Marlin, I say YES, But. The Douglas deal is a strange situation. Jack Douglas says he has NO paperwork, OF ANY KIND from back then, so, no contract would exist. I guess neither one thought we would be interested in who sold what, with what stripes. The $400 figure times 25 cars, if you use the concept that money would double every 10 years, would amount to a current day value of about $80,000.00 That might even get you a good Yenko Camaro today. Probably not a YANKO, or a Yank-Me, but a pretty decent driver.

James,all you would have to do is call Gary Dyer in Summit Illinois.If he has time to chat I'm sure he would remember that one..I know Mr-Gasser has his number. He's had a blower car or 2.Look him up in the members directory unless he see's this and posts the number. As for the Jack Douglass issue,it seems to me that it would have been a good and wise decision on Mr.Yenko's part to let Douglass create a Yenko striped COPO since it would be great for his own organization. He gets the stripe money AND the advertising!!!Not sure how these cars would be classified though.How about a "Jack-no" or a "Yenk-lass" beats Yanko anyhow !

...darn who started that burnout thing ?

Joe C thanks for the information. I did get a hold of Gary Dyer, he was a former owner of my Yenko. Thanks everyone.
Does anyone have Jack Douglass' phone number. I would like to give him a call and see if he remembers anything about my car. If you guys have anymore information, please let me know. Thanks for all the e-mails, I'm running down the leads. A Yenko is only a Yenko if it was striped in Cannonsburg originally.

Not so fast there James!!
It is almost definite that the second order of 50 Yenko Novas in 1970 were striped by Hurst Performance in Detroit, MI!! They were however, on the New Car Inventory Sheets, with stock numbers, destination dealer, ect... I would consider these real Yenkos, even if the stripes may not have been applied in Canonsburg.
