Default Re: December feature car ...... COPO PETE's Nova

Please correct me if I am wrong. My best count says we have 6 1969 Douglass COPO Camaros and one 1969 COPO Chevelle accounted
for.
We know that two of the original paint Camaros had Yenko Stripes and the Chevelle still has original paint and stripes.
We have the best source of Documentation available, Jack Douglass himself.
Now we have "estate documents" which verify the number and his authorization to sell these Douglass COPOs as Yenkos.
Many of these COPOs stand on their own merits. They are low milage, unmolested and matching numbers COPOs. These COPOs will withstand anyones scrutiny.
I certainly would not state that these cars
are undocumented. Far from it ,in my opinion.
Douglass Yenko COPOs have not been fully tested in todays market. While some have known the info.,most of us are still learning.
The Douglass COPOs are some of the most highly optioned COPOs ever sold to the public.
This will be a strong factor influencing future prices and collectability.
When the COPOs themselves and the person who ordered and sold them are not satisfactory documentaion , then no car is documentable. Only its VIN number!
I would rather own a documentable COPO than a documentable VIN number. But, thats just me.
