Earliest known..??.
Is this the earliest known footage of Jenkin’s 67 Camaro?
While doing some digging several years ago I stumbled across this video and while looking through other info earlier today I had to retrace where I found the video. No idea when the video was done but it was apparently at Cecil Dragway at the Run What You Brung event. Notice the 67 had the red stocker wheels from his Chevy II on the back. By the lack of leaves on the trees and folks wearing jackets it has to be pretty early in the year. Any way just thought I would share. https://youtu.be/daWpqICnR_k

I love the traction “powder”.

The whole sprinkling of the powder, and multiple burnouts through it, was quite an elaborate process. K

Very cool footage for sure. That Mustang at the 3:30 mark was bad a$$.
Thanks for sharing.

Jenkins' L78 was built 03D so it couldn't have been at the track until early April at the earliest. I don't understand why the car has the 396 emblems on the front fenders but not the Camaro ones. Not even the holes.

The car was featured in the January '68 SS & DI. Appears to have the same emblem; the Camaro emblem above it looks to be much higher than the production location.
May be just an old legend, back in the day I heard many Camaro racers replaced the front fenders with GMPD service parts, said to be a thinner gauge steel.
