Is this the TOY that was for sale with just the bars and dash pretty much? IF SO, glad to see you taking this on and bringing it back to life.

Congrads and good luck, John

That's the one. Thank you for the kind words, it might be a bumpy road ahead but there is a plan in place to do some really nice tribute stuff with this ol girl.

Grumpy, one ALWAYS sees the wife undressed before we marry them! This is the same, nothing hidden. Good luck

I wonder why someone would cut the body off like that.

The same question that's been asked hundreds of times before. Perhaps in the future I'll be able to answer that.

Were there two?

Grumpy's 1970 Camaro PRO car was restored many years ago and consigned to Mecum Kissimmee 2011.

Only one 70 Camaro race car as far as I know

There was a 70 Camaro Grumpy's Toy VII that was more like a street/show car not a race car.

It had a ZL1 engine and 4 speed , straight bumper car. It had a prototype steel L88 hood that Chevy gave to Bill Jenkins for the car.

The 1970 COPO ZL1 Camaro that never made production

I have the hood to it so I am always looking for pictures of Grumpy's Toy VII
