That’s right, we have proof that Grumpy Jenkins listed his 1969 Camaro Pro Stocker for sale at a price of $3,000…in 1972. Thanks to a BangShift reader who is as big as a drag racing history dork as we are, you can see the ad after the jump. This is one awesome old school ad.
The car was being sold sans engine, but if you read the fine print, a buyer could have scored an engine for extra cost. The legendary racer from Malvern, PA was in the midst of an incredible season in 1972 that would see him earn $250,000, which was more than any other professional “athlete” in the America outside of Wilt Chamberlain at that time. He was featured in Time magazine for the feat.
This ad came from an issue of National Dragster during 1972. We got it from BangShifter Erik Wright. It rules!
