Question SD455 Formula Brewster - where is it now?

Posting this here in '73 section in case it's missed HERE in the '74 section

1974 SD455 Formula Brewster - where is it now?

Was flipping through Gary Witzenburg's FIREBIRD! book and noted this SD 455 Formula in the '74 equivalent of Brewster Green w camel gut.

Where is it now? Nice color combo...

That looked like a good SD TA.

Interesting stats on the Canada stuff.

Do you know the car?

If John still owns it, it's in Michigan, not the northeast. Prolly in his storage facility waiting for the weather to break.

Saw it at Nyle's shop when I was out there once.
Done (beautifully...) and gone now, though.
