Re: I got some info on that SRD built 70 Camaro
Those were all the same car,and the only other 2nd gen was the #7 which was a show car that was given back to the dealer after Jenkins was done with it. This wasn't a Grumpy's Toy,it might be some other racer's car,but it was sold as a used race car from SRD in 1975,and the owner bought a Jenkins 427 and custom headers for the car and ran it as a gasser. It would seem that this car had most of it's work done in about 1972,and was raced by somebody who we can identify. The current owner spoke to Jenkins about the car,and Bill said that he didn't really remember it. At this point I think the best start is to slowly sand off the existing paint(old laquer from 1975),try and get an NICB report to find out where the car was sold new,and I am going to try and bring it by Pete Hutchinson,or at least get him a ton of more detailed pics. I also need to bring the car to the guy who bought it from SRD in 1975 and get the exact story on what was done to the car when he first bought it. I have pics of the car when he raced it,but I have no idea if he changed anything before those pics were taken. He obviously changed a few things on the car,as he eventually put a 1979 fiberglass pro nose and 1979 tail lights/bumper.
