Whereabouts of Grumpy Jenkin's Camaro Toy IV

[66cayne]

I wonder how many of these he grenaded over the course of a racing season? This is #13 so maybe at least 12?

I read an interview that grumpy had a guy do nothing but rebuild trannys at his shop.

I'm still surprised this car hasn't surfaced. Maybe one day we'll find out.

Doug Boyce did a great job of researching all the cars but this one and the '69 both kinda disappeared into the fog of the past.

Has anyone talked to Richie Zul? If he's still alive?
He might know what happened to the 1968 and 1969 Camaros.
If I remember correctly, he bought the Toy VI from Jenkins.

I'm pretty sure he's still kicking, lives in Long Island NY. His son posts in the FB Nostalgia Pro Stock group if one of Richie's old rides is posted.

One of the guys who owned IV, Bob Veniero, posted this pic of the car today.

I think he owned IV and then sold it to the guy who redid the car and later sold it as a roller and then it become lost.

This popped up f-book last night

Yeah Joe is the guy who sold it as a roller and doesn't remember any of the buyer's info since it was around 1980.

Supposedly someone brought the car to an event Bill/Grumpy was at and he confirmed it was the car, Ritchie Schmidt would remember that story.
