There’s a lot of debate over the 67/68 cars - I have also read that the 67 was ‘updated’ to build Toy IV.

HOWEVER - this picture appears to debunk that idea - it shows Toy III in the foreground......with a ‘vented’ hood Camaro with Jenkins signwriting on the trunk lip behind it - so he clearly had TWO 67/8s.

Toy V can just be seen off to the right.

The presence of Toy 5 rules out any chance of the ‘777’ car being the 68 Pro Stocker from 1970 (which also used ‘777’) - so the picture is clearly around 1968.

So the evidence shows they were two different cars it seems. :dunno:

Rockin' Randall's Camaro would be a keeper if ever found.

Jenkins 68 Camaro won him a lot of money according to Bill in a interview.

III: Dana Mecum owns it now, strong provenance
IV: Jenkins sold to Brooklyn Heavy, car might have been painted purple and might still be out there

Boyce has a really good book about Grumpy's cars. He avoided delving into theories that can't be verified regarding what happened to IV and 1-2 of the other cars.

How about the Schmidts beer ZL-1?

Any pictures of IV in purple?

Best to contact Doug Boyce (via FB would work he reads his messages). He's a real historian on Jenkin's cars, their final status and/or the trail of owners and rumors.

Doug's great. He's got a brand new book out on the history of the AHRA.

Have purchased many of Doug's performance books about Jenkins. Great read.
