1969 Yenko Camaro Stripe Placement

[Stefano]

D90 vs Yenko Stripes:
Based on all the info. provided by members and other Douglas COPO owners it seems certain that COPOs left Douglas Chevrolet With Yenko stripes and Badges.

The questions remain;which cars recieved the Kit and was Douglas authorized to sell these cars as Yenkos?

A COPO Camaro ordered with D90 Stripping was destined to leave that dealership ,in the striped fashion.

Remember, these stripes were painted on the fenders and taped to the doors. While dealers have been known, to do just about anything to sell a car, removing these stripes would be very counter productive and costly.

Douglas states that his information regarding the Double COPO option came from shipping invoices found in two of the 'Yenko Camaros'shipped to his Dealership.

He makes no qualms about copying and utilizing Yenko's marketing plan. Could it be, that Double COPOs were set up as authorized Yenko's and that Single COPOs were sold as non sports car conversion, D 90 striped cars(more than $500.00 less cost).

It would seem very inconsistant for a dealer to order two competing vehicles and have one with a higher price tag ,at a lower profit margin.
