In the beginning of the 1970 racing season Bill "Grumpy" Jenkins astounded everyone by winning three major events in just 15 days with his 2-year old Camaro. AND, 'Da Grump scooped up $30,000 cash in the process!
In the history of drag racing, there has never been a more popular Chevrolet racer than Bill "Grumpy" Jenkins. His very popular "Grumpy's Toy" Chevy racers always wowed fans and kept the Mopar and Ford racers on their toes.
Grump's '68 Camaro was by far, his most successful car. Costing only about $8,000, the white Camaro beat up on everyone as a Super Stocker and later as a a Pro Stocker. Bill's '68 Camaro is in the drag racing history books as the car that won the very first "official" NHRA Pro Stock race at the Winternationals in 1970.
This was the first of a series of articles I wrote and illustrated for Super Stock & Drag Illustrated magazine in 1988 and 1989. Pro Stock racing was 18 years old at that point and had seen dramatic changes. Looking back, the cars were amazingly "stock."
What eventually happened to the car is unclear, but there are a few replicas of the actual car and a newly released, 1:24th scale die-cast version offered by RSC Collectibles.
