I wasn't aware Jenkins car was sold through a dealer to Jenkins. Good to know and thank you for the information.


Not to derail this thread but are there any more early photos like the ones I posted previously? Hoping to see it in more stock form (before lettering).

I don't know how they handled the paperwork, but a guy from Grump's shop went to the Tech Center to pick up the car and drove it back to PA. Had to be a long cold trip with no heater, 4.56 gear, and in March.

...
... So is this correct ?

The FIRST 1967 Camaro built with the 396/375 motor was The Actual Pace Car.

The SECOND was THE BACK UP Pace Car.

The THIRD was GRUMPY JENKINS CAR.
... and his was also the first car with the 396/375 motor OFFERED To the General Public and PICKED UP at the Tech Center and not at a Dealership.

The FOURTH was MY CAR that was ORDERED and DELIVERED to Hechler Chevrolet.
... and it is UNKNOWN if GRUMPY JENKINS CAR was ORDERED thru a Dealership or not.

... Is this correct ?

Just trying to understand the sequence correctly.

Thanks for your input.
