Default Re: I got some info on that SRD built 70 Camaro

I think you guys are talking about 2 different cars. Both cars were in Maryland around the same time. I did ALOT of research on the restored Toy#8. I followed the history of that car into Mt Vernon NY where it sat for years. Some guys looking for Bruce Larson's old cars went to Mt Vernon to try and buy it and found that it had recently been sold. That was around the time the car showed up on EBay and Mike G bought it. So Toy#8 is accounted for. Jenkins had only one other 70 Camaro and that was the show car that is MIA. The car in this thread may have also been seen in Maryland,but is a much different car. It was raced with little success as a gasser with a Jenkins 427 in it,but there is no history before the time it was purchased from SRD in 1975. I called Pete Hutchinson who said it looks to be an SRD car but he has no recollection of who might of owned it originally. He went on to say that the front end work looks like a job they did for Wayne Jewel. I contacted Wayne who said it doesn't look to be his old car.I called Derrick Con Bergen twice with no answer,so I am at a standstill now. I have been offered the chance to buy it back just this morning,but am working on the funds right now. The real Jenkins car had a full tube chassis under it from front to back,none of the original firewall or floor etc. This is definatley NOT that car. This car has a VIN and I would love to get an NICB report on it. Can anybody help me?
