No Tom that is John driving, that is at epping. John sold the car to another friend of ours here. He died unexpectdly and now the car is owned by another guy here in the maritimes. My dad raced a 69 in SS/JA a car formerly owned by Louis Desjardin, and then we built a 1980 Oldsmobile Starfire in SS/GTE. If you did'nt know dad is Freddy Thibeault.

I was wondering what happened to that car Tony Machado is the owner Harvey drove it for several years than after Harvey passed away David Nunes who I think was Tony's nephew drove it. Tony Janes or Chuck Norton may have more info

That is correct-owned by Tony Machado, driven by Harvey Lawson, back as far as a class win in B/S at the 71 Winternationals. Car has been preserved and tucked away in indoor storage close to 20 years by Jim DeFrank. Big Props to Chuck Norton for helping remember and restore much of it's rich history. It IS currently for sale:
