Sorry but isn't the Vicki and Dale one you're referring to the fake Grump car as link above?

There are some clones of the Grumpy Toys that have been around a long time.

The 1967 Toy III was bought back by Gary Kimball and restored. The Kimball brothers had a few 1st gen Camaros. There is another one that as for sale.

The 1968 Toy IV that is seen at some shows has some controversy. Some Grumpy fans say the real Toy IV has not been found. In my opinion, the one advertised as the real Toy IV is not the real car.

here is another Kimball Camaro. Some say it was their second car but the story here makes no sense to me.

The real 67 is alive and well and was owned by the Kimball bros. Car is really cool and the restoration was well documented. Great piece of history.

Above is another MCACN article / picture of Grump's '67

The Kimball Brother's owned the car and knew what they had since I believe they had purchased it direct from Grumpy, but Dave and Clint can correct me if I don't have that part right. Anyway a long time ago Dave Belk and Clint Richmond aquired the car from the Kimball's and called me about it and I hooked the up with Dana Mecum who still owns the car.

I know when Bill was alive he said he didnt know where all his cars were. Bill passed some years back. Maybe someone found them. I just wish Bill's family would of kept his Perfomance garage and made a museum out of it. The guys who owned his cars could of parked them inside for show and all the pictures and history with Jenkins Competition.
