Hall of Fame Legend Bill “Grumpy” Jenkins4
ill “Grumpy” Jenkins never slowed down for anything, and even after his death last March at age 81, that certainly hasn’t changed.
A college dropout, mechanical genius, racing legend and seemingly “grumpy” guy, Jenkins is a man not easily forgotten. The Pennsylvania native’s countless contributions to the racing world and beyond truly left a lasting impression on all.
His lifelong friend and now estate executor remembers what Jenkins was like beneath his gruff exterior. “He really had an educated quality about him even though he acted like he was just a car guy. He did go to Cornell and he came from kind of a proper background,” Dick Williams explained. Jenkins did attend Cornell University, but in order to pursue his passion for engine mechanics, he dropped out of the engineering program just a few credits shy of earning a degree.
“Grumpy,” as he was known by most, made a name for himself in the ‘60s drag racing in the NHRA (National Hot Rod Association) using cars equipped with engines he had enhanced on his own. “Back when he started, the sport of drag racing was not really a white collar sport and he was always a first-class guy,” Williams recalled. Jenkins favored racing in smaller-engine, lightweight cars that had less holding them back. With Jenkins’ engine enhancements and expert shifting behind the wheel, the compact cars, dubbed “Grumpy’s Toys,” were able to sneak past the larger-engined muscle cars he was
up against. His confident and no-nonsense demeanor behind the wheel became his signature. Despite his proper upbringing and educated background, Jenkins would often take off down the strip with a lit cigar wedged between his teeth and come out ahead without breaking a sweat. “He was just that kind of guy,” Williams said.
“He had his quirks like everybody does,” his friend Joe Tryson recalled, “and he was really a lot different than his ‘grumpy’ nickname lead on – if you were around him a lot, you didn’t think he was even capable of being grumpy.” Tryson worked with him from the ‘60s into the ‘90s, running the show at his shop. They spent 27 years elbow-to-elbow. “You had to be friends when you spent that much time together,” Tryson joked. “We always got along 99 and a half percent of the time.” In spite of Tryson’s close friendship with Jenkins, he said he understood why others saddled Jenkins with the “Grumpy” moniker, explaining that the grouchy front was about all Jenkins ever showed the general public. Williams said he understood why “The Grump” chose to lead the public on explaining that, “The whole idea of keeping
5Artifacts from Grumpy’s Estate
up his ‘grumpy’ exterior was kind of a way to keep space; to keep people from sticking their noses under his hood.” Williams said the nickname was actually started in the late ‘50s by a friend who compared him to Grumpy of “Snow White and the Seven Dwarves” and the name just stuck.
Tryson said he considered Jenkins’ greatest achievements to be all of the mechanical innovations he developed over the years including drag racing’s first kick-out oil pan and Pro Stock’s strut-style front suspension, just two of Jenkins’ many creations. And though Jenkins garnered three American Hot Rod Association (AHRA) championships and 13 NHRA wins, including five Pro Stock championships, he did indeed leave his most notable legacy within the world of engine modification. Jenkins was personally responsible for building 30 vehicles that set national records in various racing venues and his builds won a total of 61 races including eight championships. “He was a mechanical engineer to a fault. He was lost in his own world; he was like an artist that way. If he was back working
on something you might have to remind him to eat,” Williams described. His
skill with engine alterations became his ticket to national recognition
and aided his induction into the International Motorsports Hall of Fame, Motorsports Hall of Fame of America, International Drag Racing Hall of Fame and his earning of countless other
awards, honors and recognitions. Bill Jenkins’ long and well-lived life came to
its end March 29, 2012 due to heart failure.Jenkins’ life off of the track and out of the
garage was spent among friends and family and Williams said it’s now his job to make sure they’re taken care of. “Being an executor is a tough job but I don’t mind doing it for him. I’m doing this for a friend. I’m doing it for him. We’re trying to do the best we can for his wife and children; it’s what he wanted.”
Personal artifacts from the Estate of Hall of Fame Racing Legend Bill “Grumpy” Jenkins, including a total of 150 items, will be offered at no reserve at Dana Mecum’s 26th Original Spring Classic in Indianapolis, May 14-19, 2013. What better way to honor a man who gave so much, dedicating his life to the world of cars, than to immortalize his memory in the things most dear to him? Trophies, awards, model cars and competition jackets are just a few of the many things that comprise the collection. Tryson said if he were to keep any of Grumpy’s things for himself, there is one in particular he’d want. “The only thing I could think of was one of the early Wally trophies from NHRA; one of the early ones from 1970-71. That would be nice to have,” he said.
The star of the Indy auction lineup featuring The Grump’s things will be his Red on Black GTO, set to cross the block on Saturday, May 18. Don’t miss this chance to take home a piece of history and to pay homage to a man who spent his life behind the wheel and under the hood.
This 2004 Pontiac GTO coupe was purchased new by drag racing legend Bill “Grumpy” Jenkins from Coley Pontiac in Exton, Pennsylvania, for use as his daily driver. With an aluminum LS1 5.7 L V-8 Corvette engine, 4-speed automatic transmission and rear wheel drive, the GTO was a worthy ride for The Grump, whose career as both a driver and engine builder earned him a place in numerous motorsports Halls of Fame and the 8th place ranking in the NHRA’s Top 50 Drivers.
Power steering, 4 wheel power disc brakes, ABS, traction control and a limited-slip differential are standard equipment on the Torrid Red coupe, along with 17-inch 5-spoke alloy wheels and B.F. Goodrich performance rubber that contribute to the car’s excellent handling. The revived GTO captured both the performance and spirit of the
Grumpy’s Personal 2004 Pontiac GTO CoupeLOT S1LOT S1
original, from its split front honeycomb grille, arrowhead badges and rear spoiler to its true dual exhaust, which was tuned by the factory to reproduce the sound of benchmark recordings made by GM of the original 1964 exhaust note. The Black interior offers well-bolstered
leather-covered bucket seats with “GTO” embroidery, power windows, cruise control, 6-disc CD changer and GTO-specific Red-faced gauges. Grumpy Jenkins’ personal 2004 GTO comes complete with service manuals, a copy of the original MSO, a fitted car cover and the famous “Jenkins
Competition” window decals.

This red, free-standing, Snap-On brand tool box was the personal go-to of one of the most historically significant engine builders of all time. Bill “Grumpy” Jenkins kept and used this 13-drawer unit in his Pennsylvania garage since he first acquired it in the late 1960s. Each drawer is filled with the various tools and instruments found to be most useful by a man whom most considered a true mechanical genius. With its authentic wear marks from near daily use, along with its decorated surfaces littered with stickers and plaques from the NHRA Nationals, Winter Nationals,
Spring Nationals and Gator Nationals, this dream conversation piece is the perfect addition for any home garage. A truly one-of-a-kind piece of racing history, this personalized tool box is undoubtedly one of the most significant items being offered from Grumpy’s Estate collection.
