My buddy of mine delivers home heating fuel, came across this pair. He said they have been parked for a looonnnnnng time......He has been delivering oil for 20 years so I tend to believe him. Judge appears still savable, the other is a tube chassis drag car.
Location is Massachusetts, I am sure some of you already know of these, you guys tend to be a step ahead most of the time.

The Judge is a Orbit Ram Air III 4 speed that I purchased in 1985. The car has been a driver off and on for the last 30 years.

The Funny Car has been in my possession since the early 90s. Was Race By Tim Kushi and Bob Moore as the Los Hombres 68 GTO. They Ran a 421 SD on Nitro. Tim Kushi had gone on to build and race the Yankee Sizzler.

From the net.
"Bobby Moore was one of the last racers to run a blown nitro Pontiac powered funny car. By the 1970s, the Gay Bros., Arnie Beswick, and other diehard Poncho racers had switched engine brands or quit outright. Tim Kushi and Bobby Moore built the “Dos Hombres” in 1968. Power for the GTO came from a 421 Pontiac on low doses of nitro. Moore said it was never more than 50 percent. That, and the non-breathing heads, kept the best times in the 7.80 range. According to Moore, the car did get into the fours in the eighth mile. Moore said he quit in 1970 because of the costs involved of racing a nitro funny car.
