Re: Missing Muscle Cars
 

jenkins '68 was last known to have gone to georgia in '79, car had been back halved, RS nose removed....

Plenty of cars to chase down out there. There are hundreds listed here. https://www.facebook.com/lostmusclecars/?ref=bookmarks

Was it possible for the missing Jenkins car to have air conditioning originally? Any guess what month it was built?

Has it been definitively determined that the '68 Camaro being represented as a Grumpy's Toy outside Pittsburgh is not the real deal?

They surely are pushing it as an original Grumpy's Toy.

Doesn’t Dana Mecum own the real ‘68?

Dana Mecum owns the 67 car Grumpy’s Toy 3

I'd like to think "my" minds made up on this one.. :bs:


BIG

I made up this list because, like most, I used to get very confused by the Jenkins cars.

Its not made any easier by him using the same entry# at a couple of meets.

Pic shows the 779 Toy IV 396cui/375hp car at 69 Winters running SS/D. If it had been 68 it would be SS/C.

777 entry - Toy III - 67 Spring Nats
777 entry - Toy III - 67 Nationals (Not to be confused with 777 Toy VI (69) or Pro Stock 68 car/70 Winters)
789 entry -Toy III - 68 Winters
700 entry - Toy III - 68 Indy
779 entry - Toy IV - 69 Winters
797 entry - Toy IV - 68 Spring
709 entry - Toy VI - 69 Nats
776 entry - Toy VI -
100 entry - Toy VI -
777 entry - Toy VI -

I've heard/read stories over the years that he converted the '67 to look like a '68 body to avoid starting over with another identical car for the '68 season.

Is that false, did he convert it back later to sell ???

Where is Grumpy's Nova?
