I think this is the previous owner at Joliet.

I think it was a different color.

It's the same car,George.
I checked it out at Maple Grove in the late 90's. From what I heard, some good ol' boys in eastern PA. owned it, and as far as I know, it's still there.
Sounds like Reporter Jack's territory
I'm interested in the exact history from Parker Bros., on.

Yes Rory, that's the same mag I have. It's buried way way deep in the files. I'd forgotten about Len Schneider's T-Bird being in it.

I built Wally's Camaro shortly after Dick had his car out. (As Tom said, one of the first GT cars built)
I built the headers (rear exit) for Wally after stories around were that you couldn't build conventional rear exit headers. ( I'm pretty stubborn at times) .
After Wally's car was out, I built a set for Dick as NHRA took a dim view of the front exit headers.

John plans to be back out next year. I sent you his number. He'd love to hear the history on his car.

I am pretty sure Len Schneider still has his thunderbird. I saw him with it as little 5 years ago.

Len Schnieder still has the T-BIRD, was at his house a few weeks ago,he has ran the T-BIRD at sacramento and Infineon this year until he split a cylinder wall,planing on fixing it and running more next year. T-BIRD looks the same other than he up dated it with a full cage..

Re: Where are these cars now?
 
Tom;
Yes, thats my old 67 Camaro.
Sold it, I think to someone in new York. It then turned up in the Detroit area and was run a bit by Hush (Bert) Dawson. Then the last I heard of it was it the Texas area.

Who knows now??
