Carmine Rotunda, out of New Jersey.

Bought the Musser Brothers 'BANZAI' at the end of the 1966 season.

Carmine repainted it 'Goodwood Green', and added the 'Nine Vertical-Slot' Chrome Wheels.

Well I know he sold it to Tony Festa he worked for Carmen don't know who he sold it to. Bet it a garage somwhere covered in dirt.

Joe Fasano might know the answer to where that car is. He knew those guys pretty well I think from conversations we have had recently.
