I wonder how much this guy was paid off to make this documentary. Towards the end it goes off the rails.

Oh my. When I first started watching I thought it was just a re-share of an older documentary but the end the "story" came up regarding the '67 tribute car out East.

At the end of the day no major auction site is going to run that car through their system represented as the real IV.

This was just posted on F-book by Bob Veniero.

One timeline has Bob as a past owner of IV, owned it after Brooklyn Heavy and before Joe Algieri.

Jenkins > Heavy > Bob Veniero > Joe Algieri > MIA

I like the 67 SS/C car that Dana Mecum owns now.

.... So Dana Mecum owns the Original 1967 white 396/375 Camaro that was Grumpy Jenkins First Camaro ?
... If so, that is great , I wondered who owned that car now.
Thanks !

Been following this thread for a while, had to bring myself back up to speed on the story of the car that is out there claiming to be the real one. I found this when someone gave me the name George Winterstein and this article below came up on a search, I apologize if this article is old news to all, I have not seen it until now (vintage 2015):

Black69, that is not IV that is another old race car that's a '67 that some folks built into a replica of IV, all the while insisting it's IV.

A number of people in this thread have posted that IV was a '68 purchased by Bill, widely known, he also told Doug Boyce for the book, the vin is known by some folks, and there are pics from that year where you can see the '68 features of IV (trim tag, sheetmetal differences, interior differences.).

The '67 in PA is a nice tribute a few folks think it's the old Trost (I think that's the name) race car.

Grumpy bought IV brand new, it was never an acid dipped '67.

If someone wanted to seriously pass off a car as IV it would be wiser for them to start off with a '68 body.
