Racecars shipped to Sweden back in the day.

68 car went to Brooklyn Heavy the nova went to a local racer not sure after that and the 69 car I believe is MIA. Jerry Mac may have better info.

Forgive me if I was misleading in my previous post, It should have been worded "what became of the cars after Bill is known".
The Nova is in the northeast, it has gone through at least 4 owners since Jenkins sold it at the end of the '68 season. Its believed to still be racing.
The 68 Camaro was last reported to be running around the southeast and has had the Pro Street treatment. The 69 Camaro is reported to be in Ohio. Ive talked to a gentleman recently who insists his uncle has the car in his garage collecting dust. Im waiting for confirmation on this and I know, I may be waiting a long time but its worth checking out.
Over the past year +, I have had the oppurtunity to visit Bill and talk with him exstensively in preparing a forthcoming book based upon his career.

Great B. Jenkins interview in the Ultimate Bow Tie video. Talks about all this stuff and his old race cars. First Class Video Productions produced it back in the late 1990's.

Go for it Deluxe. Anything Grumpy I love! He did a pair of 270 horse carbs for me years ago for my corvette and I bought an NOS Z/28 cam from him not long ago. My hero! Get the book out!

Ok, this Rod Shop 1973 Challenger wasn´t sent here back in the day, but only a few years ago. Robban, the owner in Sweden, sent me these pics a couple of weeks ago. They were sent to him by Larry Morgan, Bruce Meihls and Dick Hoppe, previous owners in the U.S.
They told Robban that the front end was switched to be able to run different types of engines. It has been run with a Hemi at some point.
Maybe you remember my thread in the for sale department some time ago, when Robban had the car for sale. That was before he knew the whole history of the car.

















This is the way it looks today.

Janne, who owns the Jungle Jim Vega FC, sent me a Merry Christmas e-mail with some pics. He has restored the chassis, the original body, and also the Opel Manta-body that was put on the chassis in 1976.
Ray Hill, an American living in Sweden, is a wizzard when it comes to paintjobs.
Enjoy !







Janne has also nearly completed the restoration of the Pisano & Matsubara Revell Monza that LEE-Anders Hasselström bought back in 1977.
The article states that "Little" John Buttera built the Monza as an identical copy of the Monza he built for "The Snake".

COOL! I have a black and white picture I took of the Pisano funny at OCIR in the early 80's...I thought that funny car kicked butt! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/headbang.gif[/img]

I could be wrong but I think Bruno Donati bought this Sherbits jet dragster and pickup truck in California. I have an article about it in a Swedish magazine somewhere in the attic. Pic was taken in the late seventies at Mantorp Park.

Sammy Millers Vanishing Point didn´t stay here for long, but he kept coming back with it. I think he had a Swedish wife. Pic was probably taken in the late seventies.
