Red doesn't appear to be a lucky color for da Grump.

I found this bit of info from April 1975. Bill Jenkins and his Pro Stock Vega won a match race at Maple Grove Raceway against Barry Setzers Funny Car, driven by Tommy Grove. Jenkins car received a 2.2 second head start and defeated Groves 6.60 with a 8.73 at 159.10 mph.
later the same month Jenkins put 2 cars up for sale. 1975 Vega, turnkey with all the trick parts for $26,500. he also asked $16,000 for his 1973 Vega, also turnkey.
FYI, the NHRA National reconrds as of January 1975 were: Pro Stock Bob Glidden 8.81/154.90, AA/FC Dale Pulde 6.16/233.76, and T/F Don Gatlits 5.78/247.76
