13. A 68 coupe and 67 ragtop head to head. Again unknown track and am not sure of the names on the cars.



Looks like the "Old Reliable" Z and the Midwest Auto Parts Camaro...

Good eye Rob, you're right. I have an original of this photo hanging on the wall.

Anyone know what became of 'da Grump's 1st generation Camaros? I asked him a few years ago at the York show but he did't seem like he wanted to talk about it. Go figure! He did mumble something about the '69 being around the Pittsburgh area.

8. Everyone loves anything that says Grumpy's Toy


The Kimball Bros. out of KC got this car from Grumpy, and were *very* successful with it...

I think the one brother still owns the car today. The other Kimball brother died some years ago. Mark

The Mimi Camaro was out of Syracuse New York. The original owner of my 68 Z28 owned the BMS speed shop and ran one of the cars before they went to Pro Stock. Warren Baum was BMS on the car and ordered the Camaro I now own.

I like the look of the white painted background more on Shangri La &quot;69&quot; Camaro.
