Well, it's already painted black. That would save you a few bucks. I thought you had $$$$, not like me checking the ground for  that no one would pick up. When I was a kid I'd do well finding coins in pay phones. Hard to find those these days.

Was that picture taken at MCIR in Larue Ohio? I know the family that owns that duster. They still have it, just sitting though. Been a long time since it went down the 1/4.
Yep. It was taken at Marion County back in the 1980's.
If I remember correctly, it was taken on the day when Jeg Coughlin Jr. was racing their pit-bike in the motorcycle class. He dialed it in at 25 seconds flat, and he would get to the finish line in time to stop at the lights, pick up the front wheel of the pit bike, and drop in into the lights at just the right time to win. The next week they had a new rule where there was a minimum E.T. for the motorcycle class! LOL!
Sucks that the "Mounts Mopar" is just sitting around...

Are we talking about 2 different Rod Shop Colts ?
One of them was a sb car, and the other, I believe was a Hemi -- What I see as different is the hood scoops - one car seems to have the double layer scoop of as in the Roger Denny car, and the other a standard scoop
Pictures for your inspection
StewartP
Stewart,
The one that 300by500 is talking about is the one Rod Gartin use to own. The picture is identical except the picture I have doesn't have the Dodge decal on the door. But the hood scoop decals and the black stripe is exactly the same, along with the maroon headlights. According to Rod that car was Riffels car. He and Paul Marcum (who bought the car off the Rod Shop) both live in the Columbus area.
Is the black car in Va. The same car? If not does anyone know where that car went?
You're right, it's the car Rod Gartin later owned. I'd like to know where it is, too!

Good afternoon, I have a photo of my Black Colt, doing a burnout. I do not remember where it came from but on the bottom of the photo is this --- "WADE-0-LDIES" Is Wade a member here, or does anyone know how to get in touch with him.
Thanks Stewart
Stewart, I've seen him advertise some old photo's for sale on ebay in the past, but here are some from his personal photo album: WADE-O-LDIES.

Another one a friend of mine in Ohio owned in the 80's. Originally a Hemi/Lenco but had a Max Wedge/727 when this pic was taken, about 1987. I think it was one of the Rod Shop cars?
I was Riffles Colt, then Paul Marcum owned it then Rod Gartin. After Rod sold it I'm not sure where it went. I have a picture of the car when Rod owned it on my wall.
Rod owned it only briefly from what I remember. The last I heard it's still in Columbus but a chevy guy owns it. I tried to get it off him 3 years ago but gave up. I passed the information on to Reed but he didn't have any luck either from what he told me.
Fred
oh yeah...love the picture of "MOUNTS MOPAR" too. I was wondering what happened to it.
