Douglass Yenko Emblem Placement

[sYc]

Would there be the rush to put Yenko stripes on all Jack Douglass cars if his COPOs gathered more attention and $$$ then Yenko COPOs. Of course not!

And in our hobby where rarity is important, a JD COPO is much more rare then a Yenko COPO, somethning like 10-1.

Tom, I am only saying that would refer to the 20-25 cars that were intended to be Douglas* COPO Yenko's, not all COPO's he sold. Are the 20-25 vin #'s known of that second batch? I would have to think so. It was an option, was it not? I can appreciate you wanting to protect the Canonsburg Yenko cars, but what happened at Jack Douglas, happened. You or I cannot change that. Right or wrong, authorized or un-authorized, it appears Jack and Don had some type of agreement. Sure, it would be neat if Jack had his own stripe and emblem treatment, but he did not. I still see nothing wrong with applying Yenko stripes to a car sold new with Yenko emblems. Again, just my opinion.

If there is no evidence that a certain car came with Yenko stripes, or for that matter, Motion stripes, Harrell emblems, etc. then adding them to any car is turning that car into something it is not. It does not matter if done with a COPO or a base car.

That is why the sYc will never take part in any thread, nor answer email, where it appears that some one is wanting info to build a clone. And, why we do all we can to supress the building/selling of clones.


It is not about protecting Canonsburg cars. It is about protecting the integrity of ALL supercars, including JD cars. Remember, I am the one who provided the documentation that confirmed the connection between Don and Jack. If I had wanted to supress the JD, DY connection, I could have sat on that info.

And I still think they look very cool and different without the Yenko stripe..If I had one and I knew it din't come with stripes I would never put them on.I hate to say this but it's a much cleaner look.
