Help-Super Stock AMXs in New York-New Jersey

I have been collecting info on the Hurst Super Stock AMXs for over 30 years and have a website www.superstockamx.com where I have posted everything I have found. I received a list of all 53 cars that was given to the NHRA with the 70 VIN assigned (the cars were 69s and AMC tried to update them to 70 and issued a kit with all new 70 parts and assigned them a new VIN. The NHRA said no way, so they had to be changed back). I also have a list of the 53 69 dealers who received a car when new, but some of them sent the car to another dealership to be sold, and that is where I am stuck. Here is what i need halp with:

Geis Motors (Shrub Oak)-raced a 69 rambler, but no AMX

Westbury Rambler (Westbury, Long Island)-Sponsored the S&K SS/AMX (and recently re-acquired it in restored condition)

Hicksville Rambler (Hicksville, Long Island)-Sponsored the AHRA record holder Stowe Engineering car. It disappeared after 1970. Speculation is it was turned back into AMC, but I have no records of AMC ever taking a car back for any reason-they would go to auction. Gary Stowe claims he came to his shop one day and it was gone, and the AMC dealer told him they were not interested in racing anymore. Anyone know any more (car might be Hurst car #51 as that is the only known car with an unknown history)

Fred Fink Motors (Lake Ridge Auto Corporation Mahopac, New York)-received one new in 69, but is not listed on the 1970 dealer list.

Manhattan Rambler 125 W End Ave New York, NY-received one new in 69, but is not listed on the 1970 dealer list.

H A Shellenberger Comstock Advertising 651 Delaware Ave Buffalo, NY-received one new in 69, but is not listed on the 1970 dealer list.

These three cars had to have gone to one of these dealers, as they are on the 70 list but not the 69 list:

"Second Attempt" Roy Crandall, Plank Motors, 195 Homer Ave, Cortland, NY (SS/AMX #46)-car was rolled and destroyed.

"Gold Digger " Keyport Rambler, Highway #36 Keyport, NJ (SS/AMX #12)

"American Image" Ken Rose Lakeview Motors Inc 20 Kinderkamack Rd Westwood Woodcliff Lake, NJ (SS/AMX #1) The dealership address in 1970 changed to 136 Broadway Woodcliff Lake, NJ.

Anyone have any memories of these cars, dealerships, people who worked there that might know something, etc? thanks
