I believe the Corvette was purchased by T. Kasch. I'm not sure if he still has the car or not? He frequents the Yahoo Super Stock photo group. Who was Chuck Wrights partner with the Hendrick car? Looks like "Kreigal" on the door.

One reason that the Hendrick/Yenko car has not been found is that it was reported stolen during Wright's ownership. It has never been recovered, or perhaps it ended up cut up as a full chassis car. We may never now..BKH

Bringing back an old thread. I helped wrench on the Wright/Dvorchak car back in the 70's. The engine was assembled with parts that were worked over by Smokey Y in prep to run super stock. The person standing at the back of the trailer is Joe's brother Frank. I think this pic, also from the Truby collection, was taken at a later date than the one shown above. The girl in the background was my better half at the time. I knew Joe passed a few years ago. Sorry to hear Chucky is gone now too. Any details on what happened to him? He was a wild one back in the day! Also, what is the trick to be able to save pics from the Truby collection? Right clicking the pic does not give you the option to do a save

There are some cool old photos there from PID and I'd like to have them.

Gary, if you right click on the thumbnail pic from the main page, you can save the image.

Unfortunitly you can't enlarge it.
