Original Selling Dealer

[James Berry]

I'm looking for information on Jack Douglas Chevrolet in Hinsdale Illinois. Does anyone know if they are still open, or have an address or phone number?
I'm also looking for phone number for Gary Dryer, a former owner of my Yenko Chevelle.
Thanks!

Jack Douglas Chevrolet became Team Chevrolet and moved to Westmont, Illinois, about four miles further west. If you are referring to Gary Dyer, a Chicago area racer, 411 gave me this number - 708-496-8100. Don't know if it's the same Gary or not, give it a try.

Team Chevrolet is just up the street from me.As Steven J said Jack Douglas is gone.No records exist for cars sold from Jack Douglas or at Team.They couldn't care less about cars from 30 years ago.

James,if it is Gary Dyer that would be very cool. He still runs a machine shop in Summit Illinois. If it is him,call him.He's a pretty cool guy. He is a legend in drag racing. He was involved heavily with Mr. Norms Grand Spaulding Dodge and was in the A/FX and Funny Cars from the beginning. He was also partners with Austin Coil- John Forces crew chief way back when.

Jack Douglas sold a lot of COPO cars, and, was the authorized Yenko distributor for Chicagoland. Ed Cuneen has records on some of the cars sold there, contact the COPO Connection. Jack is still around and remembers the high performance cars well. Back in '69 there would be a line of COPO cars and Yenko Camaros, Chevelles, and maybe a spare Nova on the lot just waiting to be driven away. You could take your pick of a double COPO Camaro with "hockey stick stripe" for about $3900 & change or a Yenko for $400 more if my memory serves me well. They also converted some COPOs to Yenkos,with the approval of Don Yenko and the purchase of the Yenko stripes from Yenko for $400. Mr. Douglas recalls doing 25 to 28 of these stripe additions. I'm curious about whether these car should be considered as Yenko cars since they were approved by Yenko, and, Douglas was the authorized Yenko dealer. Any opinions?
