Seems this is already old news, but I didn't think the "pumpkin" was T-4, since it had a vinyl top. Who would add a vinyl top to a race car ?
PSJ, hope you can track this down from all the recent info you've acquired.

I think the black roof on Heavy's 68 Camaro was painted. It was probably done to match his other Wild Pumpkin which was a Baldwin Motion car that actually had a vinyl roof from day one. Heavy's 70 Camaro street car named Heavy's Baby was a Dick Harrel 454 street car that also came with a vinyl top. That said, I don't know if the orange and black car is the ex-Jenkins car since even though it is call such in some publications Heavy did continue to call the ex-Rotunda car the Jenkins car after the swap.

Look closely at the pic in post 20 and you can see, what appears to me, to be the seam leading back from the windshield. Did he have it added to match his other cars ??
Is there any history on that car, how it was originally built and where it came from ? Knowing that could dispel, or affirm, rumors too.
