1966 Chevy Nova - Bill "Grumpy" Jenkins (Ertl / MIC) 1/18
Product Details Temp out of stock
The first car in our Chevrolet Racing Legends Series is a tribute to Bill "Grumpy" Jenkins. It was Bill who Chevy owners rallied around when Chevy offically dropped out of racing in early 1963. This Chevy II Nova was the first in the popular series of Grumpy's Toys and it ran 11.25 ET @ 122 MPH! Bill went on to race Chevrolets for many years thereafter and is ranked #8 in the top 10 NHRA drivers list from 1951-2001. No one has contributed more to the advancement of normally aspirated engines for quarter mile drag racing than the legendary "Grump."

The Chevrolet Nova evolved from an economy compact into a serious performance machine by the late 1960s. The 1969 Nova SS 396 and the ultra-rare Yenko Nova with 427 cubic inch power are among the most ferocious factory muscle cars ever produced. Because Novas were overlooked for decades as 'lesser' muscle cars, genuine high-performance examples are now among the most rapidly appreciating classic American vehicles.
This 1/18 scale replica of the 1966 Chevrolet Nova is produced by Ertl / MIC to collector-grade specifications. At 1/18 scale — the most popular collector scale — the model measures approximately 10 inches in length and displays beautifully on a shelf or in a glass cabinet. Every detail — from paint finish to badging — is reproduced from measurements taken from the original vehicle.
