Jack Douglas double COPO

[ssl78]

I talked to a guy yesterday that said he was an original owner of a fathom green 4 speed Copo he bought from Jack Douglas. He sold it around 1973 and it ended up in Wesmont. The wierd thing is most Douglas ordered cars had vinyl tops, rosewood wheels, endura bumper, tach and center fuel gauge chamber exhaust but he said this car only had the tach and center fuel gauge. I was wondering if this car stills exists?

I think I owned the car few years back. I posted info on the car here in the past. I spoke with the second owner and he sent me photos of the car from when he owned it, if this is the same car. It was one of the first cars on the load sent to Jack. The second owner was very young at the time 17 I think his name was Randy Barone, He still lives in Chicago area. Ask original owner if he has the vin number and we can verify it?

That was the other strange thing he said he bought it late in 68. That does not make sense since Douglas didnt even get the first batch of Yenkos then. He also said there were 9 of them lined up when he bought his. He is supposed to get with me with the vin number. I just went to the thread you posted this was not a Yenko it was a double copo with D90 stripes

Ahh its a different car then

I have met Randy Barone and still may be able to get in touch with him if needed.

If it had a center fuel gauge it could not have been bought in 68. Previous owner has a memory lapse. That center fuel gauge did not come along till around May 69

I told him it had to be in early spring since most the Douglas ordered Yenkos didnt come in until may or June.

The only COPO Camaros built during calendar year 1968 were the first two ZL1 Camaros, final-assembled December 30.

The earliest known factory-built ZL2 car was a Z/28 built December 27th at Van Nuys. Earliest known L72 Camaro engines are dated January 3, 1969. Earliest known COPO 9561 Camaros were built 2nd week January, 1969.

No evidence to support a "late in 68" delivery.

I know the story of the Yenko/Jack Douglass rift, but are there any known examples of non-Yenko (Yenko with asterisk, for some) Douglass double COPOs?
