the 430 Chevy engine delivered a great victory for the 1st gen Camaros

Bill Jenkins running his two year old 68 Camaro in the first ever Pro Stock final round in 1970

He made three 9 second passes and beat the 70 Sox and Martin Hemi Cuda in the final

Great seeing Bill Jenkins putting that Hemi on the trailer. Love It.

Probably worth between a COPO Camaro and a Yenko Camaro pricing would be my guess? Camaro are usually bring more $$$ than Nova's, and this being a Yenko SOLD Jenkins built and installed motor would be worth some. But I would think a legit Yenko Camaro would still be worth more.....

I wonder how that Nova ran back then??? Grumpy prepped ZL1 in that car would have been one hell of a sleeper.
