Is there even a chance that there could've been a Burgundy JD Yenko?

They did have the pinstripes.

I would say that any stock color could be a possibility, once they deviated from the 6, 1969 Yenko Camaro Colors. There has been some folklore about a Black one, but have never heard anything about any other non std Yenko Color, other than the two discussed.

Here is a picture of my white Douglas Yenko about a year old. If you look close you can see the Yenko emblems above the Camaro emblem, its kinda of tough to see if it had the pinstripes, but if its blown up and you look in the front it sure does look like it did

'

Sure love to see/hear more anything of any Douglass Copos delivered new without Yenko striping!
Is it absolute Douglass bothered w/ the sYc headrests when Yenko striping their Copo orders/any known cars without?

I know Byrne Brothers Chevrolet was a Yenko Sportscar Dealer and also sold direct order 427 COPO cars.

I spoke with the parts dept manger from Byrne Bro a few times and asked a lot of questions. He never mentioned any problems with selling the 1969 Yenko line and selling direct order 427 COPO cars although that was not one of my questions.


any other dealers known to have sold both 1969 Yenkos and direct order 427 COPO cars?

Some like Scuncio sold 427 COPOs and the 1970 Yenkos but not the 69 Yenkos
