Whereabouts of Grumpy Jenkin's Camaro Toy IV

[Pro Stock John]

Jeff he said "took the marker lights off the side of the car, took the side chrome off the car and also the back up lights off the car and also the gas tank filler neck off the car"

[Jeff H]

Are there any pictures of the green Rotunda car(s) with the side marker lights? If he had 2 similar cars and traded one with Heavy and repainted IV in green and removed the vinyl top, there might be pictures with the marker lights. I still wonder if Rotunda had a 67 body with 68 doors that he was racing and traded that with Heavy hence the white Heavy car having no marker lights. It's still kind of confusing between Rotunda and Heavy but it sounds like Algieri got the IV car and changed the front end and shaved the lights. Definitely and interesting trail to try and follow/verify.

Few pics known w/ Rotonda paint but again, the more posted the better for ID comparisons.
Seems like a lot of great info coming together in this thread, hope it all leads to something new being learned including cars better defined also of course, found or ultimate fates verified.

Okay guys, here is some more insight from the man himself Carmen Rotonda. Some of us, I'm in this group, don't know which cars I'm looking at.

He told me we need to look at the car numbers on the glass.
-829 was his Camaro
-1018 was IV's numbers
-His pro number was 146 for his Chevy's and Mopars.

Thank you Carmen!

I asked Carmen about this car, and he wasn't sure. He said it could have been Heavy's Motion car he bought or maybe even Carmen's green one later in life....

I believe 1055 may have been Heavy's own driver number.

Heavys Motion Camaro was a 1969 Camaro RS

the car Heavy bought from Motion was an orange black top 1969 SS RS 427 Camaro.

Heavy's 66 Chevelle orange with black top

Its not hard to believe that Heavy would paint Toy IV orange with a black top so he can have a 3 car Wild Pumpkin drag team in the same colors.

That RS Belt Reveal Molding on Toy IV and Heavy's orange car keeps jumping out to me
