Re: Douglass Yenko Emblem Placement
 

Now that this nightmare has resurfaced how about a poll as to who thinks that Douglas cars are real Yenko's.

Marlin, I disagree with your "points"/opinion. Mike

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.

Re: Douglass Yenko Emblem Placement
 

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?

Re: Douglass Yenko Emblem Placement
 

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/3gears.gif[/img]

Re: Douglass Yenko Emblem Placement
 

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"?

Re: Douglass Yenko Emblem Placement
 

Yes but not all JD Camaro COPO [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif[/img]

Should the Shelby Europa cars be considered real Shelby's for the "history books".

Shelby Europa

Yes but not for all real Shelby fanatic......

Just my opinion....... [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif[/img]

Re: Douglass Yenko Emblem Placement
 

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.
