Since I got my Horizon in October of 2007, I have been curious as to what happened to the other Omnis and Horizons that were built. I have heard varying numbers as to how many were built, but a reliable source has told me 15.

Other than my car, I know Johnny Labbous still has his two. Johnny did re-body one into a Laser though. I have also heard that Mike Fitts still has his?

From the ones that I have pics of, I believe the majority stayed down south. One is definitely destroyed (On track accident I think it was), possibly another was also destroyed. I know many probably were updated too. I also have a special interest in the Omni that was built for Mark Robinson. It was later converted into a P/S type car by Barnett Performance. I would really like to find this car.

My car was originally built for Max Naylor. It's definitely the real deal and has a paper trail all the way back to Max.

If you know of one, let me know about it. Send me some pics/info. I have some good chassis shots of mine before it was updated that show an untouched chassis. I'd really like to start a registry for these particular cars.

I would try to pm Mike or David McCandless( both are Moparts members) they may be able to put you in touch with Herb personaly. I can promise you he has a mind like a steel trap he never forgets a car he worked on or who it belonged to !!

I have Herb's contact info and have spoken with him twice before. I really don't want to pester him.

When Herb looked at my car (Pictured above), he looked at the rear end and said: "Yep, it still has the same Dana and chrome cover that I put under it! Those are my frame rails too!"

Chick Dennino doesn't know where they all are now either. Like a lot of 'em, they fade into other ol' race cars - tracing them is the interesting part !! -- Reed in Neb.

I think the easiest way to identify the cars is by the door bar arrangement. The first pic is my car, the second is Mike Fitts', and the third is one that I don't have an ID for yet.

I know of a Shelby Charger out in northwestern Ohio that has a tube chassis and some race history.I will check and find out.

Are those door bars legal?

Super Gas, Deputy Dodge and Atlanta come to mind. Does that ring any bells with anyone concerning these cars?

I don't believe the Deputy Dodge was a McCandless car.

Yes, these cars were built for Super Gas, many were run in S/C too.

What are you hinting at with Atlanta?

Not trying to change the thread but I wonder how many cars McCandless Performance built? There is a local guy that has a Cuda that I know for sure hasn't been down the track in 25+ years that was built by McCandless. Dean Sox's car was built by McCandless in the late 80's for Robert Mays and it still works great!. Just curious to how many are out there? Hopefully the McCandless brothers will chime in with some info from Herb Sr.!

Didn't Dave Blazier drive one in IHRA. He did not own it, only a driver. He is out of Knoxville, Tenn.

Isn't Micky Smallridge's car one of them
