Where did this Hemi Superbird end up?

This is a Hemi Superbird I took pictures of in 1985. It was at a St. Augtustine Fla. dealer. It was column auto, bench seat, small dent in drivers side roof. 1974 tag.

There are pictures around somewhere of it being pulled out of there a few years ago.  I think it is either being restored or has been.

reminds me of that B5 blue one that was boarded up in a dealer ship  since the 70s

I have pics of this car at a show in St. Augustine around '82-'83.  I may have written down the fender tag numbers and have it somewhere.

The owner of the dealership died and the vehicles were moved to another building where it and a hemi powered coupe sat for years.
They came up for sale ( about 10-15 years ago) and a local business owner bought the bird. He owned it for about 6-8 months and sold it to a collector in the north east.  The local owner never fired it up or did anything to it while he owned it.
The drivers side paint was badly faded from sitting in the show room window so long and the nose had been damaged and repainted( notice the stripes are wrong) when the dealership owner was driving it.
  I used to love going by and looking at this car

Be great if you can find it and tie it all together.

I believe that Hemi'bird is 15 miles from me here in Ct.  I went to a local garage there to look it over for them. Was restored but need detailing.  Had a 3:23 open rear and the secondaries weren't opening fully so the car was a dog.  If someone can find old threads I recorded the vin# .    WINGNUT

The dealership owner was Ned McQuaig, it was and auto trans with column shift and had the original letter from McQuaig ordering it from Plymouth. A friend told me that it was sold through Barrett Jackson auctions after it left Saint Augustine Florida
