I bought the 70 Camaro with ram charger rear end from Mark off Ebay in 2007 and still sitting in the same spot in my garage. I purchased car without front sheet metal as shown in pic. If this is available I would like to purchase it. Does anyone have any information or know the builder of this car??? Any information will be helpful and appreciated.

So is the the car that Dick Green was selling as the Grumpy Pro stock car?? I could have bought the car years before he was trying to sell it on ebay. I remember that the 70 turn signal cutouts were still there on the qp,s inside the trunk. Good luck with the history !!

I run into Richard &quot;Dick&quot; Green from time to time. He is selling used cars at a lot where I know the owner. Every time that &quot;Grump&quot; car or the &quot;ZL-1&quot; comes up here smiles and doesn't say a whole lot; neither do I and usually try to get back to work. Let's just say I'm more of a listener than a story teller.

I have no idea who Richard'Dick'Green is. I bought car from a guy named Mark, from MO. He's A member from this site. I came to this site and saw pics of the car I purchased on ebay years back. I was hoping to find some more information on car. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Richard &quot;Dick&quot; Green was a fellow from Baltimore, MD (still is) who had his own used car lot in Baltimore years ago and actually did do some NHRA racing. And, he won a National event, I think the Summernationals (but don't quote me on that) and claimed he had a real ZL-1 '69 Camaro---I heard it WAS real minus the motor (or correct one) and claimed to have one of Jenkin's used Pro Stock cars that was a '70s style. I saw the ZL-1 it was MANY years ago and I think he sold it when they just started to escalate in price. The Pro Stock, again, is &quot;claimed&quot; and could be (I don't know for sure--if anybody REALLY does)an ex-Jenkin's Pro Stock cars. I have never seen the race car. Remember, that 40 years ago, nobody really cared who's cars were who's and now that REAL cars are worth something, sometimes the truth begins to become more &quot;gray&quot; than just black and white. You know the old saying---&quot;The older the story is, the faster the car was.&quot;

I think you guys are talking about 2 different cars. Both cars were in Maryland around the same time. I did ALOT of research on the restored Toy#8. I followed the history of that car into Mt Vernon NY where it sat for years. Some guys looking for Bruce Larson's old cars went to Mt Vernon to try and buy it and found that it had recently been sold. That was around the time the car showed up on EBay and Mike G bought it. So Toy#8 is accounted for. Jenkins had only one other 70 Camaro and that was the show car that is MIA. The car in this thread may have also been seen in Maryland,but is a much different car. It was raced with little success as a gasser with a Jenkins 427 in it,but there is no history before the time it was purchased from SRD in 1975. I called Pete Hutchinson who said it looks to be an SRD car but he has no recollection of who might of owned it originally. He went on to say that the front end work looks like a job they did for Wayne Jewel. I contacted Wayne who said it doesn't look to be his old car.I called Derrick Con Bergen twice with no answer,so I am at a standstill now. I have been offered the chance to buy it back just this morning,but am working on the funds right now. The real Jenkins car had a full tube chassis under it from front to back,none of the original firewall or floor etc. This is definatley NOT that car. This car has a VIN and I would love to get an NICB report on it. Can anybody help me?

I only know of 4 owners for this car. SRD owned it in 1975,sold it to Bob Demarco,then it ended up being owned by a guy named Linn Wood from central PA who was selling the car on EBay when I won the auction but passed on the deal. It is now owned by a guy named Wes from western Maryland,and he personally knows Bob Demarco.

As for the real Grumpy's Toy #8,it was sold to Richie Zul who sold it to Dennis Ferrara at the end of 1976,Dennis sold it at the end of 1977 to a guy named John Sandoval from Brooklyn NY who sold it in the early 80's to 2 guys from Mt Vernon NY who owned it for about 20 years until it was discovered and sold to whoever Mike G bought it from. That's the history on the restored car.

Like I said,I could really use an NICB report on this car!!!
