With some reticence on the heels of my impugned reputation on this site by some, I hereby make this partial disclosure. Now the whereabouts of sfm6s1776 IS known. I have details. It exists in a very public place so therefore I am not violating any privacy considerations (having taken such eventuality INTO consideration.) Anyone interested can ask via this post or send me a DM. Car is actually for sale. Ironic that the number is 1776 and that I am the one who happens to have found it. Cheerio gentlemen.
Well it looks like Silverton Ford preempted me by a few hours with the information so he gets the credit, not I. However, the car is physically located in Chicagoland at "The Last Detail."

I don't get the radio antenna.

Just an FYI, the previous owner did not want to be identified, which is why it was marked "owner unknown". This is a common SAAC registry practice.

Interesting. I was unaware that some request to remain anonymous. Kind of takes away the SAAC protections of a particular car's provenance but it is what it is. I literally thought that such cars were never found. Kind of takes some of the mystique out of it for me. Now I wonder more deeply about 5R529. Maybe one of the Fords has it squirreled away somewhere and has requested said anonymity. Thank you for the clarification incidentally. I may own a Shelby but my knowledge is scant by comparison to pretty much everyone on this site. I am always the student. Never the teacher it seems. But I am okay with it.

Instead of that how about, "Owner does not want any info to be published"
That is a big difference between unknown and known.
I have a friend who will not even register his cars in the registry, I would think that if he knew he would have privacy he would join that....
In spite of my last few "pissy" little childish rants as I see them in retrospect (I should have exercised more restraint actually), I am still a huge fan of SAAC and more particularly the Registry. It gives some recorded history on these cars that does not exist with many other highly valuable vintage machinery out there. I definitely want my car recorded and name associated therewith. Nice to have the history.
