Where are these cars now?

[QUOTE=thomas sheehan;300691]How about this one?
I was told (correct me if you know something different) that this was the first SS/GT car
to hit the track back in the 80's..... Dick Henry (Ed Quay built).

(Ron Morehead)



I would say yes.
Did anybody notice the headers coming out at the FRONT bumper ?
He ran this car at Kinston Dragstrip when it was originally built...

You beat me to it Danny, in Tom's pic you can see the headers coming out in front of the front wheel. There was an article in SS&DI on the car when it was originally built, and it talks about the headers....

Al Brister is a member here, and he helped Dick Henry a lot with this car back when it was first built. If he happenes to stumble across this thread he can probably elaborate on the headers and other such stuff. I remember seeing Dick run the car at Kinston and Jacksonville quite a bit in the mid to late 1980s.

If that is the same issue of SS&DI that I have, they featured what were believed to be the first 2 SS GT cars to be used in competition, the Dick Henry Camaro, and Len Schneiders Thunderbird. Schneiders TBird was first built with a 428 Cobra Jet, but was switched to a 351 Cleveland soon after. As far as I know, Len still has the car, but has not raced it much in recent years.

Is this the same car (see pic of Joe Scott's camaro below)?
Where did it go after Wally had it?

I'm not possitive of this, but the Joe Scott car could be the car the Santangelo's now own. I believe Vito Savino bought it from Joe Scott and the Santangelo's bought it from Vito.

Hi George

I believe this red camaro is the current car that Joe Scott still has.

Another of the early built FJ Smith SS/GT cars....
