William Dale Jr should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Actually, ignore everything after the first paragraph of my last post. Really should check my sources before I post, but there you go. After reading through the various magazines, here's what I've found:

- The Roadways car that was unearthed was the #36 car, the VH not the VK. I haven't found anything about the VK's whereabouts.

- The car that sat atop a Holden dealership was Brock's 1983 #05 car, the car that failed early on at Sandown and Bathurst. An article in Unique Cars says that the car had only done two races, but I thought this car did the 1984 ATCC as well as the Silastic 300 and Pepsi 250? Peter Champion bought this car and has had it restored.

- The 1982/3 Bathurst-winner was sold to Andrew Harris, who used the car throughout 1984. The car spent some time in the Norwell Museum before it was sold to Peter Champion. In that same Unique Cars article, Champion is quoted as saying the car, "is how it finished the race" which I don't understand, because it's wearing the 1982 #05 Marlboro livery, but has the late-1983 flares and spoilers.

- The 1980 Bathurst-winning VC was the car that went to Jim Keogh, who ran it throughout 1983 and '84. According to a letter in Australian Muscle Car, this car has been purchased and is being restored to its Bathurst-winning state.
