Re: 1987 Muscle Car review article with Don Yenko
John, I don't find that strange at all. Apparently, the first few batches of Yenko Camaros sold pretty well, for most of the participating dealers. If Jack had 6+/- of the X66 cars on his lot, then ordered up another 22-25 COPO cars on his own, he had plenty of cars to move, and didn't buy anymore from Don. By the time they dissolved their prior agreement of Jack being the exclusive Chicago dealer for sYc's, the insurance problem was in effect. It is understandable that few if any of the other Chicago dealers would have been anxious to get their hands on some distressed merchandise. Once the Deuce was loose in '70, several Chicago dealers were on board - except Douglass.
