Default Where are these cars now?

Happy Holidays to everyone!
I want to start a thread that may help some people "fill in the blanks"!

I'll start by posting a picture of two of our old cars.
I want to know where they are today and what they look like today?
If anyone knows any good info (or has current pics), they can post an answer or picture.

Everyone can either answer or add a picture and story of the car they had and are looking for also.
Give us a little story about the car and its previous owners too.

Here goes.......

These two cars were in our garage in the late 80's.
************************************************** ********
Maroon 67 SS/GA camaro (NHRA record holder)
We built from scrap in early 80's to replace our 68 stick camaro
Sold it to Mike George from Orlando in late 80s
My neighbor (Andy Bohatch from PA), bought it back in early 90s
He sold it to a bracket racer from east coast
He traded it to Bennie Barcroft (from Tenn?)
------- where is it now ------ ???

71 SS/HA (GA, FA, CA) vette
**********************************

Chuckie Wright from Pittsburgh had this built in early 70's by SRD as a SS/D car,
(after seeing the success of Bernie Agaman's SS/DA vette).
Chuckie Sold it to my father in mid to late 80s
I won Englishtown 1991 with this car.
Sold it to Larry Eagle in 1999??
Larry sold it someone in Tenn in early 2000's (maybe "the tax group")
Car went to texas after that..... ?
---------- Help!!!-----------------

Bennie doesn't live very far from me. I used to see him racing that car at Memphis Motorsports Park but haven't seen it lately.

I think Glenn Young, who runs the "Tax Group" deal, could tell you. I can't remember if they had/have 1-2 Corvettes of that vintage.

Okay, Tom, Noel's message pinned it down. That car is sitting in Phil Mandella's shop being prepped for a new career. It took a long time for all the blanks to be filled in but with patience, it all becomes clear.

The corvette will not be a class car. It will be a PSCA type car. It is still red.
