Default Re: Jungle Jim's SS/C ZL-1 Race Car

Jenkin's car was a 375hp car. He had been working on the ZL1 and the Cam Am engines in 68. First time he went to run the ZL1 engine 69 Camaro the NHRA tech inspectors would not let him run. Chevy had not sent documentation to NHRA that 50 had been built. Grumpy's 68 was a very quick match race car with the alu engine. I remember reading when he won $30,000.00 in match race prize money which was alot back then.
