I'm sure it's been asked before, but, have all 69 vehicles been accounted for? Just curious, not talking about blocks, but vehicles. I saw recent threads that asked this, but, I don't see anything that suggests they are all located. Just adds to the adventure of the hunt. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Depends on what you mean by "accounted for".

These are estimates based on what I knew when I cared about this a lot more than I do now:

Still around: 50
This includes everything: perfect originals or restorations, rebodied restos and those needing resto.

Destroyed: 12
This includes 5 cars stolen when new and never recovered. Of the 5 only one is titled to an insurance company. Rumors persist the Merollis cars still exist.

Unknown: 7
Some are on old open titles and probably still exist, some never had MVD records. Undoubtedly a life-long cut up race car or two in this category.

So, I figured out which cars are (or were) the Merollis cars (#11, 24, 32, 37, 43, 50), The "unknown 7", any suggestions which numbers from the list are the "unknown"?

Thanks for the response, William.

#11 was recovered and was in Ohio. I sold him some NOS rotors a few years ago.

#43 was stolen from Hauser Chev in PA and is titled to an insurance company.
