Has anyone seen my old SuperBirds?

As many of you already know, My brother Bill and I have owned 4 SuperBirds and a Hemi Charger 500.  Redbird now has our Tor-Red 'Bird and moparchris has the 500.  What ever became of the other three?  In the mid 90's, I received some pictures of our old LimeLight 'Bird that I (not we) put the Hemi in.  I found those pictures, and here they are.  The back of this first picture has, in black ink and one handwriting "Richard's Superbird June 25th, 1989".  All other writing (on ALL pictures) is written in blue ink in a second handwriting " The day I bought the car in (Cantonville) MD  P.S. notice no decals on the nose + headlights"

second picture says "This is where I keep the car now, getting it ready for it's first show."

Third pix. Note the trophy on the roof.  On the back: "Coming back from first show held at (Laurel raceway-Loin's Club)  I got first place in my class I did nothing but put tags on it."

There were 3 more pictures from "Richard".  A 69 Road Runner and a before and after shot of a 68 GTX, red with black vinyl top.  Anybody know who this is and if he still has U0A161559?

I have a little info on U0A161569, my Lemon Twist SuperBird.  I sold it to a lady. I believe she sold it to Joe Sharp, who got it in 1978(?), and later traded it to his brother.  The brother sold it to another gentleman, and the Sharp's lost track of it in 83 or 84.

I never treated V0A149852 very well.  We bought it as a parts car, the original engine long gone.  The Dana was swapped into U0A161559 (and my brother's 68 Hemi Charger got the posi 3.55 8 3/4).  I gave the wing and diamond shaped back window extrusions to the Winged Warrior Club to use as door prizes.  The front end was a poorly spray-painted 70 RoadRunner clip, God only knows what happen to the original nose.  The guy we sold it to had a wrecking-yard white superbird  front clip (extremely poor shape) he was going to put on it, but I never saw it (or him) again.
