Default Thoughts on this car?

Do I misunderstand the whole story, or is this story not correct? The VIN doesn't fit with any of the others. Is it just a Berger COPO or am I missing something? What about the 800- 1000 number quoted? Berger Yenko?

Reread it. He says it's a Douglas Yenko, not a Berger Yenko.

You're right. I thought I edited the post to correct that error. Sorry. Are there any thoughts on it?

There are plenty of "thoughts" on these cars, but, I hope we don't all have to spend the rest of the Summer going through this discussion again. Do a search for Jack Douglass threads going way back, and, read to your heart's content. Thanks for digging that link up

Read the posts on this subject. Was before my time cruising this site. I understand now, sorry about bringing it up. Please close this thread so no-one has to re-live that. But, that link has some pretty neat stuff undergoing resto. Wish I could find 1 or 2 of any of the cars they are working on! Sorry for re-openiing the wound!

Not trying to reopen the discussion on this, I just didn't see the VIN listed in the Yenko VINs and didn't understand why. Now, I understand why and am not sure of my thoughts nor do I care to offend anyone or get an argument started again. Just wanted to explain that it was an innocent question, I had no idea of the controversy or whatever you would call it. Sorry again all.

Default Jack Douglass

Jack L. Douglass Cars

Saw him at Road American in Wisconsin at the vintage races on Juky 18.
He gave me his card.....still playing with cars. I met him in 1972. He was the #1 importer of California cars to the midwest in the 'good old days'
