Mike G. York show pics?
 
Did anyone happen to snap any pics of Mike G's Grumpy's Toy VIII? I've been itching to see it.

His car was out this weekend at Chevy Vettefest. The car is dynamite!

I've wanted to see that car since I saw it in Hot Rod when I was a kid. What a treat to see it in person.

Sorry Fred, the motor is built like da Grump raced the car most, with a "mountain motor" iron block. He was never satisfied with the performance of the aluminum blocks, and, found the weight advantage to be negligible. The heads are the last set of 074 heads that he used on this car. Thanks to Jude for finding them, and, selling them to me.

Mike that is one awesome car... You need to bring that to SCR9 and turn it loose https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif How about getting a write up and more pics on this car for the Members Rides?

In the trunk was the original signed helmet that Grumpy wore when he drove this car https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif

Well, I now have a new desktop background. Those Pro Stock '70 Camaros look so tough, this one being the most famous one of all. Would love to see it in person. The Grump was so full of tricks, I would love to hear his confessions on this car.

Yeah, but Kim: is it the right *shade* of white? LOL! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

That car is top shelf...a rolling history lesson...almost like hallowed ground...I know you've got some cool toys, Mike, but of the ones I've seen *this* might just be my favorite! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Small observation:

Anyone see anything odd about that endura RS nose on this car? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/hmmm.gifNot like any I've ever seen and certainly not like mine.

I know the RS setup is much heavier than the standard nose.All your Trans-Am and most drag racing guys opted for the standard front end with RS bumperettes based on the weight savings.It almost looks like a standard,non-RS chrome grille surround to me because the RS piece is about twice as deep as the standard piece.

Or is it just me... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Hey, for Grumpy, that is smiling. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif

Re: Mike G. York show pics?
 
First of all John, it is a vintage all glass front end, just the way it was in '70. The "RS" nose illusion is created by pinstriping. It is not a seperate piece. The picture you're looking at has an odd perspective. The grill surround is much deeper than it appears. Thanks for your small observation. By the way, you should have seen his smile when he had Linda Vaughn leaning against the car for a picture.

Thanks for filling me in Mike,I knew something just didn't quite look right but couldn't put my finger on it. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/hmmm.gif

I bet Linda Vaughn made Grumpy smile... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif

My 70 Gibb car has standard glass front end and RS bumpers on it. That's the way it was built and raced. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Beautiful car, Mike, it looks like a great restoration! That's awesome having the heads on it that the Grump ran!
Thanks for sharing, will you bring it to SCR9?
