MAN!

Stamp "JENKINS" on a set of '074 heads and you add $6,000.00
to their value. $8,300.00 final bid https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif

I'm not implying that the seller did anything wrong, but how
would anyone know these heads belonged to Grumpy Jenkins. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/rolleyes.gif

Nuch

Because they were a matched set with early dates likely indicate that they were on a real ZL-1. Find me another matched set of early (Jan, Feb. 69) 074 heads in mint condition without "Jenkins" name on them and I'll give you eight grand for them.

Same seller has an "original" PF25 oil filter too.... NOT!!!

Fake PF25

also sells lots of new, dated Holley carbs too. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bs.gif

hey ZL-1 #17...I believe I have 2 sets of early dated zl-1 heads... not including the original heads that came on my original ZL-1 motor....I know for sure that i have a mint set that were totally restored by Jerry M......maybe I'm out of touch with the current prices because I really havent sold much in the last 20 years...but for 8,ooo dollars...I'm a seller if you are serious...

BTW...these 'grumpy' heads have been around for a while...they were offered to me atleast 4 or 5 years ago... (I guess thay have actually been around for almost 40 years...hehehe)

Re: Bill Jenkins 1969 Camaro ZL1 Heads on Ebay
 

I would not make the post if I was not serious. Call Jerry and refresh his memory on the heads. I will call Jerry and get his opinion on them, if they are what you say they are, I will place my $8,000. on the table. Fair Enough?

Re: Bill Jenkins 1969 Camaro ZL1 Heads on Ebay
 

I'll give you the reciept from Jerry for his work..he rebuilt...reskinned..and restored these heads...I'm not sure the dates...but I will dig them out shortly and let you know...you are welcome to call Jerry also of course...but let me dig them out and I'll send a PM...I just got home from out of town, so it wont be until a few hours...but I'll contact you and let you know exactly what I have... Jerry also totally rebuilt my motor..it should be going on the dyno next month..finally... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

Again, THE DATE CODES ARE VERY IMPORTANT, I too have four sets of 074 heads, March, April, June, I specifically stated Jan. or early Feb. 1969 that I will pay top dollar for.

Re: Bill Jenkins 1969 Camaro ZL1 Heads on Ebay
 

It would probably be safe to say that The Grump had MANY, MANY sets of these cylinder heads. In fact, it's probably a bad thing because there's no telling what's been done to them such as angle milling, etc. Be interesting to see what happens when they're mated to a stock block and stock intake manifold. Someone paid a lot of money just to be able to point at that 'JENKINS' stamp at car shows for bragging rights.

The story goes that Grumpy got the engine out of the #14 car that was sold new at Ammon R Smith. That car has an 02D trim tag.
