1969 Jack Douglass Yenko* Camaro

[bergy]

Great looking car! How far back does the ownership history go?

Is this Wayne Schmeeckles' car in Colorado or is this a different one?

Dumb question, what's the round part at the bottom of the tag?

More info.

One of approx 25 NON-Canonsburg Jack Douglass ordered and sold Yenko Camaros.

Very unique part of Yenko and Super Car history.

Not a restored car, with lots of originality still maintained. Was completely repainted approx 10 years ago or so.

Believed to be one of only two such Dover White Douglass Yenkos ever built. The other one also exists.

There is a correct date cast RESTAMPED not original engine in the car, with not many miles on a rebuild.

Transmission is original and the BE rear is original.

Interior is mostly original.

Sheet metal, floor pans, trunk pans are all original with no patch work I have been able to detect.

( I believe that one door has been reskinned). The body is amazing.
Trim Tag and VIN tag never removed.

39,XXX mile history seems to be accurate based on ownership records.

I purchased this car from Bob Trez back in approx 2001, with a sketchy history and with info provided to me first hand by Jack Douglass. It has had two subsequent owners since.

Most of the history going back to the original owner has surfaced.

Documents to follow.

While this document does not pertain directly to this particular vehicle, it is important to the history of this Yenko.

This document is for the Yellow Douglass Yenko I had purchased from Dana Mecum / Mecum Collection, which now resides in the Brothers Collection. It was fastidiously restored by the Super Car Workshop for our very own Tony Lucas and is now featured on the cover of recent book. "Top Muscle".

I believe this was the first "official" certification of the Douglass Yenko history.

These are Bob Trez's hand written notes regarding the White Yenko he purchased Circa 1992.

He was not aware of the full Douglass Yenko history and thought he had a "Berger" Double COPO, becuase the car was almost a twin to Kevin Dewitt's Berger COPO, which Kevin still owns to this day.

This is the NICB info as it was provided to Bob Trez, directing the documentation trail back to Douglass Chevrolet.

[Stefano]

This is a copy of a document, found in the Yenko estate archives owned and maintained by Tom Clary.

It was shared in the public eye, by Tom Clary. Had he not done so an important part of Yenko history may have been overlooked and misunderstood.

While there may never be 100% consensus on exactly what took place back then, this document goes a long way to show that Don Yenko was involved and aware of the scenario.

[Stefano]

Note that the original copy of the Bill of Sale as well as customer copy of the retail installment contract both list "Yenko" as a description of the Camaro. These documents along with the POP were acquired from the original owner.
