Grump’s ‘69 Camaro had several incarnations. The original setup was a Super Stock/C racer and used an all-aluminum 427 ZL-1 engine. Pro Stock was about a year away but match racing was all the rage. It didn’t take long before the Camaro grew a tunnel-ram manifold with two 4-bbl carbs, and an air-box scoop for match racing.

Jenkins best victory with the car was at the ‘69 Super Stock Nationals where he won the first heads-up Super Stock Enduro Eliminator title. Bill match raced and competed in national Pro Stock races with the car in ‘70 and ‘71. Eventually Jenkins used the car as a test-machine for his come -back secret weapon for 1972, his small-block, tube-framed ‘72 Vega.
