Ahhh...here's a Rumor that's been kicking around Western Pa for the last few years:
The other Grumpy's Toy Nova L79 is alive in ultra Rough shape sitting along side a defunct gas station in New Alexandria, Pa.
Home Town of :
Pittsburgh Raceway Park Originaly known as Keystone Raceway Park
The story goes as this: Jenkins sold the Nova at the end of the Season to this local Gas station operator and raced it for years ,off and on at Keystone unlettered,it was still well known as Grumpy's Toy. Now,decades later,the owner lives hermit like in the closed gas station with a rusted shell of an icon near by. (I believe this may be the white one,not the red candy striped car that was totaled)....... Tim Lopata may know of this &quot;storied rumor&quot; for those wanting to turn over a few stones...... I know of a few people who recall the early history and have seen the remnants, albeit unconfirmed by Grump before his passing of the real story.....Hmmmm any treasure hunters on the site ???

YEP !!!
Just trying to get one chasing this lead, as I have no interest in doing so.....I can provide a name &amp; number of a Pgh guy who chased it and then ran out of steam upon Grumpy's death. ( he couldn't finish documenting the info)
