Toy V can just be seen off to the right.

The presence of Toy 5 rules out any chance of the ‘777’ car being the 68 Pro Stocker from 1970 (which also used ‘777’) - so the picture is clearly around 1968.

So the evidence shows they were two different cars it seems.

Jenkins 68 Camaro won him a lot of money according to Bill in a interview.

If you are asking about the 68 Nova it was destroyed in a garage fire when the 2nd owner had it.

III: Dana Mecum owns it now, strong provenance
IV: Jenkins sold to Brooklyn Heavy, car might have been painted purple and might still be out there

Boyce has a really good book about Grumpy's cars. He avoided delving into theories that can't be verified regarding what happened to IV and 1-2 of the other cars.

Best to contact Doug Boyce (via FB would work he reads his messages). He's a real historian on Jenkin's cars, their final status and/or the trail of owners and rumors.
