Douglass Yenko Emblem Placement

I apologize, I did not realize you had that relationship with him. I thought you were busting his balls.
Yes, it is the same car that was ripped apart by Chad. The car is currently far from that condition and many hours have been spent restoring the car. It is coming along quite nicely and should be done in the fall. Although the car looked terrible when I got it, it was reasonably solid. The restorer has documented the restoration very well. I am excited to get it done!!

Mr 70, No offense taken, Brian as for why none of the cars has original emblems there is a simple explanation. In about 1986 I actually seen the car that Shor owns right now for sale on route 12 in Spring Grove. I stopped looked at it because it had Yenko stripes and Yenko emblems. The one thing that struck me funny was it had endura bumper and chambered exhaust. I took down the vin # and called Vince Emmy about it. He response was it was one of those Berger cars. I believe all double copos that werent on the Yenko list were considered berger cars. That is why when I bought my white JD Yenko it had D90 stripes and holes in the tail panel for a berger emblem, I believe put there by Bob Trez because he was probably told the same. This Jd story has only come out in the last few years. When the NICB report came back on mine it came back as a JD car. So I believe everone with theese original JD Yenkos were told they were Berger double COPOS and have been restored that way. Only one guy had left it close to the way it was found, the other dover white JD yenko. It is also odd that if there is a story of a Copo being a Yenko it usually turns out to be a JD yenko. I think this horse is dead so I leave it at that. Mr 70 no hard feelings, Tom I hope no hard feelings. So Tom if I send a picture of my car for a feature it will include Yenko some where in the heading.

I guess it would dpend on what documentation you have showing that your car came equipped with Yenko trim.

Does anyone know how many plain COPO's were sold at JD as opposed to cars badged as Yenko's ?

I asked this a few posts back...does anyone really know ?

Belair62, I too would be curious to know if information exists that lists the Douglass COPOs sold and/or which of these cars received any sort of Yenko trim. If it exists, it would go a long ways in clearing up this debate.

According to Jack all his COPO'S were to be sold as Yenko's, there might have been a couple that didnt have Yenko trim, because the customer didnt want it.

This certificate is from Jack Douglass himself. Why would he lie he has nothing to gain.

I dont know if this has been posted before but this add is from 1969. Look were it says Yenkos sold in all colors.

Look at the emblem placement on the rear of this Yenko. The side emblems also look to be above the script. This is to early to be a JD Yenko and is also a X66 car, where all JD Yenkos were X11D80 cars. Maybe thats why JD emblems are where they are.

This is the statement in Yenkos estate documents, it seems clear to me the Yenko emblems and trim were bought to install on theese cars. Make your own judgement.
