Whereabouts of Grumpy Jenkin's Camaro Toy IV

[Pro Stock John]

Levi had a few cars I think, also a Nova? Great to hear he's around.

Doug Boyce's book covers all of Jenkin's cars. III went to the Kimball Brothers, then they sold to a guy who later sold it to Dana Mecum.

Can't stress this enough, Doug Boyce's book is great. Easily bought on Amazon but you can find it sold by other vendors.

Doug interviewed Jenkins a number of times and from what I've gleaned the interviews were recorded for accuracy. He also does not mix facts with rumors.

Speaking of rumors, Joe Algieri is quoted at times as saying he delivered IV as a roller to TN, but also GA. I don't know why Joe has said different states over the years he does not come across like a guy who would be that forgetful. The issues with different states coming up over the years is it makes it much more difficult to research in the area. We have Ron K as the guy who said he saw IV in the 90s in NC, I think Richie it's worth asking whether Ron actually looked at the car or just the outside. We have some comments about the car back then that some of the front chassis work looked rough and not as good as the rear... So someone maybe knew what they were looking at?

This research would work better if some of the folks like Joe were amenable to a detailed phone conversation. Take for example the chassis. We could speculate it had a Dana 60 at point of sale but it better to just confirm that. If it was ladder bar, whose ladder bars, SRD? How did Bill Hayes fit into the picture? Ostensibly if Joe ran Bill's logo on the quarter panels Bill had a decent amount of involvement with IV.
