Great Video. What an innovator his was. Like the air cleaner on the Camaro.

You'll notice the in-car footage is '68 Camaro (no vent window).

I recently picked up a copy of "Grumpy's Toys - the authorized history of Grumpy Jenkins' cars" and enjoyed reading about all of his cars. He was a genius and pioneered much of what is used today in drag racing.

Great video!!! My burnished brown copo ran in super stock at Indy. I'm always looking through these old videos & pics trying to catch a glimpse of it racing. Thanks for sharing the video.
