Where are these cars now?

Thanks for this thread, Tommy

I built this 66 wagon in 1977 from a street car that was given to me by my lettering guy, the late Billy Mocarsky.
Later that year ,with the de-factoring of the 283, and the addition of a third seat, I was able to put the thing into R/Stock ,were it was capable of running under the index just about anywhere.For those guys new here, that was a really good situation back then.
We set the R/Stock record three times in 78, won the Orlando WCS and finished 3rd in the division.
By 1979, I decided to try Super Stock again. I converted the car to a powerglide for it's new owner, Frank (The Wagonmaster) Tantillo.
The second pic it at the 79 Winternationals. (recently forwarded to me by Dave Kommel)
Frank painted the car two tone blue, and finished 2nd in the Connecticut Dragway points that year.(1980)
I think I know where the car is now, but maybe Gary or Barry Parker can fill us in from 81 forward.
