A Grumpy Story
My loss is your gain, this 71 Nova that was rumored to once be owned by
Grumpy Jenkins has to go. I started stripping the car down to do a total restoration but I ran out of time and space. What you get is a rolling body with what you see in the pictures. No motor or trans. I do have a hood, grille, bumpers, etc... except the windshield, that didn't exactly come out of the car intact. This awesome piece of drag race history can be yours for the low price of $8,600! And I do have to throw in the o.b.o. thing. Obviously this spectacular car will need a little work. It appears that somebody did some repairs awhile ago. The left fender was replaced and the left 1/4 panel has been worked a little. I heard that this damage was from Grumpy himself when he tagged the guardrail at the dragstrip in a match race against Ronnie Sox. Just to be clear, I do not have any actual proof that this car was owned by Grumpy, but my uncle's godfather heard this from his sisters husband who used to bag groceries at a store where Grumpy's mailman used to shop.
Act fast! With this kind of history, and this blue light special price, this car won't last long here at all!

If you look. "Real Close" ...you can see
the outline of old gold leaf lettering and red remnants... along with yellow paint flakes below the springs on the garage floor..
acid flashbacks will aide better than a magnifying glass here.
what a hoot
