Looks more like the makings of a sand buggy on a VW pan than a Camaro.

That's the part of IV they did not use for the restoration. It's controversial for sure, but at the same time look just at the floor, hardly any of the original appears to be there. I wonder though about the firewall.
The guy who owns the chassis I think I saw him once say he was thinking to restore the chassis to the Richie Zul days. |

Rocker panels, firewall & door hinge pillars are structural. To me, and many others, that means IT IS THE REAL CAR despite having a few pieces of original sheet metal skin being harvested and grafted onto a ‘70 Camaro that has probably spent its Sundays at church instead of the racetrack!

BTW, the guy also had what was supposedly a black L-89 69 Camaro ex-racer there ( complete less drivetrain) and one of the 100% real zl-1’s (a roller but totally apart). I was more interested in the ZL-1, but I definitely took pics of the other two cars also. I’m in Brazil for a few months, but I’ll search for my old pics when I get back to the states. |

the photo of Toy IV with no front bumper and no front side lights is when it was set up to run in a Gasser Class probably in 1969 . Bill ran it in SS/C (1968) , M/P, Gasser , Pro Stock (1970) , match racer , and other classes.
I believe the fenders with no side lights were fiberglass. |

Never seen toy IV with what looks to be driving lights behind the grill. Interesting.

Look at the pic in the link. The top is Grumpy's real 68 Camaro. The bottom is the car claiming to be the real car. There is a very visible difference between the 2 cars. Hint,the real car has a feature that first came out on Camaros in 1968. |

That is interesting. I wonder if they made the car legal for a class that had to have working headlights, but not necessarily pure stock, original ?
