My Dad's LS6 build sheet

Wasn't the Douglass Yenko white? So could Hult be one of those cars?

Yeah, He put a pair of L60s on it pretty quick after he bought it.

My research shows they sold 6 Yenko Camaros. I was chasing a JL-8 car some years ago; also came from Hult. By then the former owner was working at another dealership so I visited with him. No paperwork from the old store so I passed on the JL-8 car. He told me 3 of the 6 Yenko Camaros were totaled within a few years. </div></div>

I thought i read and was told that Hult Chevrolet was known for selling it's share of performance cars back in the day.My survivor L34 Nova supposably was purchased there by the original owner also.

John owned a White Jack Dougalss COPO, with the Yenko stripes added (not by Yenko).

I don't believe that this is a true statement, John's car was a Real Yenko Camaro sold through Jack Douglas Chevrolet. Here is John's add when he put the car up for sale in the cars for sale section:


John's add

Was his car in the &quot;First batch&quot;?

I believe this explains it.....

.....The first batch of 69 Yenkos at Douglass came from Yenko Chevrolet. They had the bowties removed. The balance were Douglass ordered COPOs with Yenko graphics applied by Douglass. They broke the mold on the &quot;Yenko base car&quot; They ordered colors other than the 6 Yenko colors. They might have ordered other interiors than the 711 standard black. I was not aware that the JD cars had the bowtie.

....These cars that were ordered by Jack Douglas as COPO cars and had the stipes applied at Jack Douglas.... they never went thru the Yenko Dealership. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Randy, I stated that the stripes were not added by Yenko, you say that is incorrect, so please point out to me in John’s description where it states that the Yenko stripes were added by Yenko Chevrolet, Canonsburg.

The LS6 is now in the LS6 Registry and there's info on the orphaned page seeking more information on owners.
