Scuncio Chevrolet

[HiPerf]

The car ran in many differnet class,SS/J,SS/JA,SS/N,SS/M etc. Joey could drive anything and drove a 4 speed car like most can only dream of. He set this track record on 11/6/76 with the Camaro doing 11.34 at 118.26 with a 350 4 speed combo in the car. The car is still raced today.

Great you're here Bob!.

Joey's times are amazing for a SB car!.

Gotta ask, would Joey be related to Tony DeLorenzo of Road-Racing fame?.
Tony was most famous for his rides in the Owens-Corning Team Corvettes...Don Yenko co-drove on a few occasions too..
I may be wrong but seem to remember reading that Tony's father may have had some connection or worked for GM?.

-----Tonys father was a GM vice-president and apparently doted on his son as Tony recieved one of the 20 67 L88s (black) as well as a black 69 L88 roadster that went to Europe eventually and then returned to be restored a few years ago at the Nabors in Houston. Both cars were seriously raced and abused. The 69 will be showing up for sale any day now and is just a beautiful car with a seriously cool pedigree. Tony actually came to Bloomington Gold the year the 69 was judged and won a high-point gold. I would be surprized if there was any relation between Joey and the Detroit DeLorenzo family but dont know for certain.
-----As a sidebar, Tonys brother has a cool website called AUTOEXTREMIST.COM. Always a different perspective on Detroit type happenings.........Bill S

Thanks for the info Bill...very interesting stuff and quite the position to be in as the son of a GM VP!.
Wonder what happened to that original Owens-Corning L88 hood that was floating around last year?.

P.S. Having grown up in RI, and being of the "age".
I watched a lot of thier cars kick a lot of butt.
Scuncio was up there with the best of them.

Here is a car from Craigslist this week that mentions Scuncio
No idea if this car is real or not

I dont know anything about the car on ebay but there have been more Scuncio claims in the past 6 months than in the previous 38 years. Last year everyone thought scuncio was a brand name for a cappuccino maker, now everyone has a car from there.

I think it was said that Scuncio and Motion did not colaborate at that time? Bob?

Scuncio had nothing to do with Motion,I was emailed about that car. It is nothing that was done at Scuncio.

OK Bob,
Seeing those old pics got me motivated. I just stayed up and worked on the lm1 registry website, and have a page devoted to the LM1 that Joe drove and BobJ Ent, any info you want to add to that page, as far as your search for Scuncio cars? Contact info, etc?

Also, any chance that I can get a copy of the papework on that LM1 that you sold?

for anyone interested, http://www.69lm1.com is the link.

Thanks again Bob for the great pics.
