I believe Grumps 68 car went to Brooklyn Heavy. After that, I am not sure.

Here's a video of the car, don't know if it's as purchased or while work was in progress but it's definitely in front of their bodyshop. the car is clearly a 67 and doesn't appear to be an RS

There is a post on FB about this car. The owner claims its the real deal and the exact wording on the post is:

I'm very pleased with the way this article turned out. The executor of Grumpy's estate approved it before publication, he was given the rough draft , made a few changes and then gave it his blessing. The estate is behind the car and this article 100% so any negative comments from the &quot;peanut gallery&quot;. I.e. Arch (Doug) Adam Ed Jerry Joe Richie aka the minions , will be forwarded to and addressed by the estate

The article in question:
http://www.onallcylinders.com/2016/10/07...-toy-iv-camaro/

Looking at all the pictures I do not see any butternut yellow anywhere on this car and toy 4 was originally butternut yellow. After Brooklyn Heavy owned the car the butternut yellow was still visible inside the trunk lid. There is too many inconstancies between this article and what was wrote about it and approved by the grump himself in the grumpys toys book.

I did some more digging.jenkins did pick up a bolero red 67 ss350 with a L88 installed directly from Chevy. The L88 was removed and a 396 was installed then sold off. This car was never raced. Toy 3 was picked up at Norwood as a heater/radio delete 396/375 with aluminum heads and 4:88 gears. A rs grill was eventually installed on toy 3. Toy 3 is restored to 1967 spec's and is shown from time to time. Toy 4 was definitely a butternut yellow 1968 rs/as big block car on day one. The only connection between Jenkins and penske is the toy 2 nova was purchased from penske Chevrolet. Jenkins never had a z28. This car is a nice recreation but not the real car.
