A semi local racer worked with Jenkins and he (Grumpy) had the sponsoring dealership of loc racer contact GM from Jenkins contact to special order an early 68 Z. Once the car was delivered it went from TN/KY area straight to Jenkins shop for engine & suspension work for the upcoming racing season. Car and driver was fairly competitive before moving to a 69 Z in 70-71 timeframe. He (local racer) allowed me to take photos of original paperwork and Jenkins receipts from BITD. He also had photos of it at the local dealer to me in the fall of ‘67. Great discussion btw.
