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.

Same seller has an "original" PF25 oil filter too.... NOT!!!

Fake PF25

also sells lots of new, dated Holley carbs too.

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.
