Ok Mike, now we're back to normal, our opinions are each worth $.02 - regardless as to how far apart they are [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif[/img]

Frank, I don't think we need a poll, I think we agreed the last time around that these cars would be considered Douglass Yenko COPO cars.

Oh, maybe it's just me but I thought you wrote that they were the first clones before you deleted your post. You seemed to be serious untill Mike kind of hinted that your post was in bad taste.

Let me toss this thought out there. Would you consider the "new" 1966 Shelby Cobras real Shelby Cobras like the ones built in 1965/66?

There will never be a car to replace the "original" Cobra. Same goes for the GT-40, Grand Sport and ZL-1 'Vettes. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/[/img]

What does THAT have to do with anything? Would you consider a '69 Z28 that had a bunch of parts added to it, without supporting documentation, to be an original "JL8, crossram, etc. Z28"?

Sorry guys, I keep confusing fact and fiction on this subject. I keep thinking there is documented proof that JD paid Don Yenko for the stripes and window stickers and the right to sell the cars as Yenko Camaros. If proof does arise then I stick by my opinion that the JD Yenkos are just as much a Yenko as the DY Yenkos. Not trying to cause trouble. Ane we all know that the only possibly documented crossram JL8 would be the 68 Z28 convertible.

In case you didnt read this the first time I posted it I will post it again. Written by Don Yenko himself, says bought Yenko emblem and trim, and said was bought to help sell the merchandise. Do you think if DY didnt approve of it, he would have even mentioned it.

We've read it several times before. That is not an agreement, simply a restatement of some facts. If some guys choose to read more into it than others, that is their choice.

People have been convicted of murder, and, executed on less circumstantial evidence than what exists in this case Marlin. Since some of you choose to think that Jack Douglass is a liar, and, expect hard copy [originals I'm sure] of an agreement detailing this mutually beneficial relationship, this will never be settled. So, why can't we just agree to disagree, and, kill the next person who brings it up!
