We're still working contacts in NC. It's the only lead on the car, that the car was there in the early 90s. Been working through some names we've gotten.

This is so great to hear some of the pieces coming together. Fingers crossed that IV is located.

Not just me. I think with a little more time will make some more progress. Just having a car guy told that the car he was looking at was IV in early 90s shows it's possible people still knew what car it was.

That is some fantastic work John.....just keep digging. It would be a perfect ending to the hunt if you locate the Camaro.

Go get'em.

It's fun to play "In Search Of" with MIA cars.

Honestly if I lived in NJ I would ask Carmen to go out for lunch and interview him on the whereabouts of a number of cars.

Once we get past the holiday's, see if he is open to that and go out there for a few days or a weekend. I bet both you and he would enjoy it and come away with more than you hoped for. After all, most of the folks involved during the time period you are chasing have already left this earth. Don't regret putting it off until it's too late. carpe diem

Rich that is a '67, supposed to be acid dipped. Acid dipping was not legal pro stock, and this is not Toy IV. Highly likely the car has extensive racing history.

Dale's car is the real car. Numerous ways to prove it. Stories about other cars are incorrect.
A lot of early pro stock cars were dipped or had dipped parts. I don't remember anybody checking metal thickness.
