Grumpy's Toy IX '72 Vega reference photos?

[atomicholiday]

Anybody know where I can find some good reference pics of the 1:1 car?  A quick search shows me lots of photos of the body,  but that's about it.   There seem to be plenty of shots of the '74, but not much for the '72.

Specifically,  I'm looking for pictures of the interior,  engine bay,  and undercarriage if possible.

Hot Rod December '72 has a four page article. There are three or four photos that should be useful. Likely some useful info in the text, as well. If you sign up at Motor Trend dot com, you can access it, for free. Hope this is some help.

Your best bet maybe to purchase this book. I am amazed at the prices they are asking for it on ebay.

Thanks everyone for your replies!   Some really great leads on information and awesome pictures here.   

As you can tell,  one of my side projects is the mpc version of this car.   This info will be invaluable when it comes time to start painting. 

Now then,  do I go with white sides, or the red sided car...??

The red sided car was only used a short ammount of time and was crashed, and in 1973 only as I understand it.
All the pictures of it I have seen the red sided car has Pro 3 on it and in the 1972 season he had Pro 100.

Hey everyone!! 
I was looking for some reference photos as well and this thread keeps popping up so I thought I would chime in, start some more discussion, and hopefully help somebody else looking for reference photos. Somebody referenced the hot rod magazine article from 1972 and here is the link to that article.

As we can see from the engine picture, it's quite a bit different from the very famous picture of Jenkins standing at the front of the car and his crewmembers standing at the driver side. That picture has the hood off with an orange engine, dominator carburetors, and the fender well headers. It's almost like that picture is either a very early picture, or they just threw an engine together for the photo. 
The picture from the hot rod magazine article looks like it's a black engine, black cylinder, heads, aluminum valve cover extensions to clear roller rockers  and factory style valve covers. The article also states that he tried dominators at some point, but they weren't worth the hassle or the minimal horsepower gains. 
Of course this was December 1972, 10 months after the car made it original debut. I'm sure they were changing stuff the entire entire season.

The 72 Vega showed up at 72 NHRA Winter Nationals with the fender well exit headers and they didn't pass tech, so a set of conventional under body headers were installed. In a couple of the engine shots you can see where the inner fenders were patched up to cover the area where the headers originally went through also the fender well headers exited through the front fenders behind the front wheels which was patched up and a second Hooker Headers decal was placed over the patch.

While on the topic of Grumpy and Hooker Headers, that reminded me of this old add -
