Did anyone see the 1969 Bill Jenkins ZL-1 heads (item # 250156059299)for his 1969 Camaro on Ebay?
Does this car still exist? Thanks! John |

MAN!
Stamp "JENKINS" on a set of '074 heads and you add $6,000.00 to their value. $8,300.00 final bid ![]() I'm not implying that the seller did anything wrong, but how would anyone know these heads belonged to Grumpy Jenkins. ![]() Nuch

Because they were a matched set with early dates likely indicate that they were on a real ZL-1. Find me another matched set of early (Jan, Feb. 69) 074 heads in mint condition without "Jenkins" name on them and I'll give you eight grand for them.

hey ZL-1 #17...I believe I have 2 sets of early dated zl-1 heads... not including the original heads that came on my original ZL-1 motor....I know for sure that i have a mint set that were totally restored by Jerry M......maybe I'm out of touch with the current prices because I really havent sold much in the last 20 years...but for 8,ooo dollars...I'm a seller if you are serious...
BTW...these 'grumpy' heads have been around for a while...they were offered to me atleast 4 or 5 years ago... (I guess thay have actually been around for almost 40 years...hehehe) |

I would not make the post if I was not serious. Call Jerry and refresh his memory on the heads. I will call Jerry and get his opinion on them, if they are what you say they are, I will place my $8,000. on the table. Fair Enough?

Again, THE DATE CODES ARE VERY IMPORTANT, I too have four sets of 074 heads, March, April, June, I specifically stated Jan. or early Feb. 1969 that I will pay top dollar for.

It would probably be safe to say that The Grump had MANY, MANY sets of these cylinder heads. In fact, it's probably a bad thing because there's no telling what's been done to them such as angle milling, etc. Be interesting to see what happens when they're mated to a stock block and stock intake manifold. Someone paid a lot of money just to be able to point at that 'JENKINS' stamp at car shows for bragging rights.

The story goes that Grumpy got the engine out of the #14 car that was sold new at Ammon R Smith. That car has an 02D trim tag.
