I bought a hood from Bill Grumpy Jenkins

Mr 70, SS427

I've heard about those cars for a number of years also. I spent a lot of time around
Detroit, Milan and Detroit Dragways and never remember seeing one. I've talked to several guys that raced at those tracks back then and no one remembers any of them either. I've seen some of the documentation and talked to a couple people that worked at Ray Ridge back then and no one remembers a
car like that. They may exist, but it seems out of 12-14 cars, at least one would have surfaced by now. That said, I haven't given up looking either!!

That looks to be the hood off of the mysterious "Grumpy's Toy XII" (did I get the # right?). The standard bumper one on the cover of SS&DI (July '70 issue I believe). I'd attach some pics but am not sure how yet. A great acquisition!

69Motion, Yes the hood was on ebay listed by Victor (the guy who is selling for Jenkins Competion). They also had a NOS 1970 3 piece rear spoiler which may have been one of the early COPO spoilers. I missed that aution.

Fhakya, thanks for the tip. I will have to try and find that SS&DI magazine. Grumpy said the hood was on his 1970 Pro Stock "show car". He said it was a car built for advertising and promotional events.
