1969 Yenko Camaro Stripe Placement

[Stefano]

Good point.What is the print date of the catalogue?

The stripes were available immediately through the parts department,in early 1969.

The point is, that Douglas did indeed get the stripe and badge Kit directly from Yenko Chevrolet.

Douglas supported the marketing concept behind the Yenko Cars, which included the distinctive stripes and badges.

It was only after he discovered that the cars could be built with the special COPO numbers, that he put in his own direct factory orders.

He individually handled all fleet and Special orders at his dealership.

Here's a link that might interest you regarding the Douglas COPO's http://www.copo.com/L72-VIN-69-Douglas-Camaro.htm

That's interesting.... a Dover White car. Could Douglas have added stripes to cars that were not in Yenko's color scheme?

Thanks for the info COPO. I am familiar with Mr. Cunneen's Copo Connection and Web sight.

The COPO Connection has been a valuable source of info and documentation. In fact, I found this link on their Web sight.

I have also worn out several Key pads e-mailing Mr. Cunneen.

Thanks for your help, Ed.

COPO69:
According to Jack Douglas, he did not sell any COPO Camaros without the Yenko stripes and Badges. Since he was placing the orders direct, there was no restriction on color and most options.

Did Douglas Chevy add the Hurst Duel gate shifter to the TH400 cars? Did he sell any COPO Chevelles?

Could the Dover White car be the one of interest in the first issue of Chevy Rumble magazine?? Owner claimed it was a Yenko.
