Is that false, did he convert it back later to sell ???

There’s a lot of debate over the 67/68 cars - I have also read that the 67 was ‘updated’ to build Toy IV.
HOWEVER - this picture appears to debunk that idea - it shows Toy III in the foreground......with a ‘vented’ hood Camaro with Jenkins signwriting on the trunk lip behind it - so he clearly had TWO 67/8s.
Toy V can just be seen off to the right.
The presence of Toy 5 rules out any chance of the ‘777’ car being the 68 Pro Stocker from 1970 (which also used ‘777’) - so the picture is clearly around 1968.
So the evidence shows they were two different cars it seems.
