His legendary "Grumpy's Toy" 1966 Chevy II Nova, powered by a 327 cubic inch small-block engine, went on to achieve cult status that year as it outran many of the country's quickest and fastest ...

In fact, Grumpy Jenkins did that very thing in sanctioned NHRA racing. Roger has been the one and only owner of this Nova SS. It is equipped with a four-speed manual, 3.73 gears, and has 52,000 miles.

A perfect example of this is this 1966 Nova SS resto-mod that will appear at Mecum’s Dallas auction September 3-6, 2014.

Race fans might not be sure who Grumpy Jenkins is, but you can still count on him being a force on the drag racing scene.
