At the Dealer
In the spring of 1970, James (Jim) Jenkins and his stepson, Joe Hinton, went to DeNooyer Chevrolet in Battle Creek, Michigan, to purchase a car expressly for drag racing. A yellow Chevelle sat on the showroom floor with only about 6,000 original miles on the odometer. The original owner had the car for about a year and then traded it in at DeNooyer. Its color was the SS-only Code 76-76 Daytona Yellow, which was an extra cost.
The car featured a black D96 side stripe and black bench-seat interior but was ordered without a vinyl roof. The manual transmission was a closed-ratio M21 4-speed that was a perfect fit for drag racing. The rear-end gear was more of a road gear setup, likely 3.55s. However, because the car was trailered to and from the track for drag racing, the gears were quickly swapped to 4.88s and then 5.13s.
