Looking for this car, purely sentimental reasons.. Any info call or text me 201-852-1400, thanks in advance, John Bolkema
It was originally run by Joey Tolisano in 1983-1985, shortly before Joey passed away in August of 1985 he sold the car to Ron Morehead Jr of Newburgh NY who ran the car for a couple years before selling it to Carmine Savino of Campbell Hall NY, Carmine sold the car to Tony Testa from White Plains NY who sold the car in 2000 to someone he doesn't remember. That's as much as I've been able to find out... As of 2000 the car was supposedly still painted the same.

I have an old Super Chevy magazine with his father standing next to him ( Joey ) and the car behind them.........from a 2 page story on the car and those 2. Early eighties.
What happened to Joey?

Joey passed away at an early age, I believe there was and still maybe an award presented at the D1 banquet in his name. It maybe called the image or spirit of youth award given to a young racer. A very nice award to put something positive in a man's name who passed away way to young.

I have not seen the car, but someone here probably will know.
