If this is the firewall of the 69, it would be easy to spot with this on the firewall with what appears to be a tach line sticking out of it.

DIMS (Dallas International Motor Speedway) operated from mid-1969 up until sometime in 1973. I saw quite a few races there during those years as it was approx 6 miles from where I live. It was also the site of the Texas International Pop Festival in 1969.

I was on another board (camaro crossram focused) and there is a person on there that picked Toy IV as a car to get presented with a top choice award at a recent show. Seems odd, if its fake as suggested here (by one, and no one countering that claim here), how something can be honored as real, if not true. Scratching my head day.

When Dale and Vicki Bolla discovered Grumpy's Toy IV, I contacted Vicki and she told me that Grumpy's Toy IV started as a 1967 Camaro and it was the same Camaro that Bill Jenkins raced the 1967 Toy III. It was born as a red Camaro.
Everyone knows that Grumpy's Toy IV was a 1968 SS RS L89 Butternut Yellow Camaro. Grumpy's Toy III has been known for many years. Dale and Vicki Bolla contacted Bill Jenkins and wanted him to verify that they had Grumpy's Toy IV. Bill Jenkins went there and looked at the car but did not verify the Camaro. He was upset that he had spent a whole day going there to look at it. What they say they who know is that it is a 1967 Camaro ex SCCA race car |

The guy who claims to have Toy IV is in this youtube at the Camaro Nationals 2023 with his Camaro. Claims "Jenkins helped us put the car together". That's not what many of the Jenkins fans say. I'm surprised they allow the car to be on this display there.

They don't know more than Bill Jenkins did and he did not certify it after being shown the car. It's not even the correct year and Bill had the original paperwork for his cars. The build date of 12D on the cowl tag is too early to be a '67 Z. I could go on but the car is not the car it claims to be.

there is a under hood photo of Toy IV showing the 1968 trim tag. It is not a clear photo but you can see the 1968 Fed safety statement on the tag. A 1967 trim tag does not have the safety statement

Doug Boyce would probably know who bought VI from Jenkins.

IV: MIA
V: burned in garage per Doug Boyce VI: MIA |
according to the book that Doug Boyce published, Toy IV was purchased by Brooklyn Heavy. After that the story gets a little foggy. I heard from a reliable source that toy IV was traded to Carman Rotunda for another 68 Camaro. At that time both cars were painted orange from what i heard. At some point in the late 70's early 80's toy IV was painted black and no longer had the RS grill. From what i heard toy IV is currently nothing more than a roof and 1/4 panels. The person that i got this information from does post on here from time to time and might chime in at some point.

Someone should be able to ask Carmen he's still alive. Who will do that for us?
