Re: 1987 Muscle Car review article with Don Yenko
John,
The 'little segment' you are referring to is actually from your 'little' post! Way to make friends!
We have been over the big picture before, this little discussion is about a silly sign that some people are attempting to claim included the Douglass * Yenko COPO cars. Inherent in that claim is the basis of the original discussion, that Jack and Don had an agreement for Jack to stripe his COPO's as Yenko's. My contention is that the sign is insignificant, and cannot be construed to include anything more than a marketing ploy of some sort.
I am not calling Jack a liar, I'm simply asking for more solid proof. To me, his recollection of what happened over 30 years ago is insufficient. Don was a certified genius, and couldn't remember what he did only 17 years later during the MCR interview. The 'estate document' only states what happened, Jack used the stripe kits to make his COPO cars more saleable. There is nothing in that document about an pre-arranged agreement. I like paperwork, others can do without it, both positions are fine for the particular individual.
