Who remembers Jungle Pam

Who remembers Jungle Pam and does anyone know if there were ever any private photos of her that got out?

A while back there was another thread searching for more revealing pics of "Jungle Pam".
I myself would like to see some! She was something else in those days!
Had to chuckle at the last pic above, Pam is posing with the legendary Bill Grumpy Jenkins of Malvern, PA. His engineering and engine building prowess earned him countless records and championships.
Apparently Jungle Jim, Bill Jenkins and Pam were from the same area of Pennsylvania.

I found the following Wikipedia page of Jungle Jim Lieberman with this written about his "sidekick"..........

SIDEKICK:
His sidekick was "Jungle Pam." Liberman met 18-year-old Pamela Hardy two weeks before she graduated from high school in May, 1972 when he spotted her walking while driving his yellow Corvette.[10] Hardy, who had been accepted to West Chester State, intended to major in business.[11] Instead, she became Liberman's girlfriend and toured with him for four years. "I ditched the college that had accepted me, and it drove my mother nuts," she later recalled.[12]

Liberman, eager to get fan's attention at the track, initially hired Hardy to stage his funny car on the line.[13] Hardy is well-endowed and was always braless. She usually wore a tank top or skimpy halter and jean shorts with "zero-inch inseam". Her enticing performance gathered a lot of attention. Liberman and Hardy briefly appeared in Vrooom!, a 16-minute documentary directed by Ken Rudolph about a day at a drag race track. They also were featured in several auto magazines with Hardy typically wearing go-go boots, short-shorts, and titillating tops. She appeared on the February 1973 cover of Hot Rod magazine.[14]

She earned the nick-name "Jungle Pam" Hardy. She not only staged the car and checked under the vehicle for fluid leaks before a run, but filled the block with water and eight quarts of 70W oil, packed parachutes after each run, and helped Liberman reposition his car on the line after his burnouts.[15][10] Her presence on the track was described as "a stroke of genius" and raised the profile of Liberman's team and Funny Car racing in general.[16]

She said of Liberman, "All that showmanship was his true personality. He just didn't turn that on at the track and then became normal like everyone else at home. He had that sort of flair even when we were just at the house or went out some place. You could always feel his presence wherever he was."[6] She described Liberman as a gifted mechanic and said that before he was killed he was considering building engines instead of racing. After Liberman's death, Hardy never worked with another driver.[7] She later married Funny Car owner Fred Frey and after they divorced, Bill Hodgson, who tunes George Reidnauer’s Excalibur Corvette Nostalgia Funny Car.
