Larry Morgan 1971? Old Iron Butterfly car.





I think your too early. I don't remember seeing Larry Morgan having "official" driving chores at The Rod Shop until around 1979, 1980 or 81?. Before that he drove his Dodge Challenger in the brackets. The '64 max wedge Dodge, if my memory is correct was owned at one time by a mechanic who worked for Ray Christian...."Moocher". In 1978 or '79? Moocher started his relationship with them but didn't have the Rod Shop team colors. From what I remember the original color of the '64 was a dull blue. Better yet, call Bruce Meihls(614)836-2503 and get the scoop...

I can tell you now since Ray's passing, that there were some "things" done to the car getting it ready for the 1977(?)"SPRINGNATIONALS" stock class. Ray and Moocher brought the car over to Starkey's transmission shop in Columbus and everyone had to leave... it didn't help. I think it went out in the first round.

all this is subject to how good my memory is now..
