He moved to NC I think....

Paul Delvecchio passed a long time ago....I saw him at many races and was sad to learn he became ill and passed....
I think he crewed with Joe Santangelo Sr. when he raced Comp.....but I am a little vague on that memory....
All correct for the most part.
After we built the 66 HT 327/275 Chevy II and re-set the record with it,
Richie decided to put a Powerglide in his car. Sometime after ,it got painted all white, and Richie lent it to Joe Kenney, who took it out to the Winternationals one year.
After that Joe and Richie both got into 65 Chevelles with the 327 /250 combo.
The 68 car was sold to someone in Ct. or NY I think.
It was just a white Chevy II , and basically unrecognizable from it's earlier glory.
I'll have to ask Richie about it next time.
