Did any body notice the car in the background on the 8th pic down?
Is that a gold Yenko?
Joe.

The fact that the Olympic Gold Yenko Camaro Super Stock Magazine Test Car is in the background of Jungle Jim Camaros photos makes me think that these photos could have very well been taken on the same day that the mag did the drag test for the July '69 issue.

How certain is it that Jungle Jim's car was one of the 69 ZL-1's?
Could he have just put a ZL-1 motor in another Camaro?

Hasn't it been clarified before that JJ's ZL1 was a transplant car?
Was the July '69 OG Yenko Super Stock Magazine test at the Cecil Cty. track?

I´m with Pete on this one. I´m sure I´ve read about the JJ ZL1 being a transplant car, just like Grumpy´s was.

Saw this car when new. I never heard or thought this car was a ZL-1 till recently.
But nobody ever really paid that much attention about that stuff back then. If it was it may have been a Roger Penske car?

I was told it is NOT a ZL1 car. I believe it's found and in New England now.

the car was definately not a ZL1 car..it was a transplant.
i spoke to Steve about this many years ago when this issue was brought up on this site..in another post.
He Said Not a ZL1 couldnt wait that long to get one..so they just took a 69 body and put the ZL1 in it..the car still holds a record.
