Quote: Doug did you guys get the petty blue bird off of a guy named Art Morris? I remember him having 2 petty blue birds over the years. then again 1979 i was still in diapers so i don't think i'd remember that car as being his, just thought id ask.
No, it was definately not Art. At that time, I think all Art had was a red Daytona. The Petty Blue Bird we bought was farther south from Indy as I recall. I have the name at the club office in a file. What I remember most was that it was the guy's pride and joy - even as a well used rusty Bird. We all went into town to have the title notarized or something. And as we drove away leaving town, I can still see the guy watching as his car drove out of sight. Broke his heart, at least for a while. I think we paid $1900 for the car.
