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 &quot;Grumpy's Toys - the authorized history of Grumpy Jenkins' cars&quot; and enjoyed reading about all of his cars. He was a genius and pioneered much of what is used today in drag racing.

Is this the same toy that sold for 750,000 at Barrett Jackson 7-8 years ago?
