Where are these cars now?

[noel t davis]

i bought the corvette from glenn young (tax group). chucked rods thru oil pan on first burnout. kenny schindler fixed the motor and put it back together but i never raced it. traded to a guy in arizona for lt 1 stocker. that was back 2002 or 3 i think. like to know where some of my old cars .are at. of course jimmy bridges has my corvette, greg smith still has my ss/k chevy 2, getting it back out this year. coan had my f/ed. dont know about the rest. there was a lot of them. maybe gonna race a little this year maybe.

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.

Thanks for the info on our old vette!!!!

Here are pictures of all of the paintjobs it had while Chuckie Wright and my father owned it.

Chuckie Wright (fresh from SRD) @ PID...circa mid 70s



This is the paintjob that Chuckie put on it before he let it sit for 10 years



We had it painted this yellow before 91 season, won E-town that year.



Harry added a little more color to it in mid 90's



Car ended up all orange after Edgewater roof trip. Won Dutch Classic 3 months after we put on the orange paint. Sold it to Larry Eagle with this paintjob.

It's amazing that you can track down your old cars, Tom! I wonder how many more retired race cars are sitting around waiting to be "re-discovered"?

Have a wonderful Holiday Season!

Anyone else looking for one?
Email a pic and a story, I'll post in this thread?

Anyone have a car with a cool history?

Anyone with a car thats been through several owners and paintjobs? (i'm sure most don't know its the same car).

Let's hear it!

thanks in advance

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.

Could this be the same car Bob Mullaney won the D1 championship with in the late 90's?
I think it was a different color.
