Here is a Q-list with 5 Birds listed here as '78 models. The 1st one is listed as Don Holmes. So, I assume Rob Holmes still has that Bird.

What about the other 4 ? Can anybody here give the history of any or all these Birds ? I realize that some or maybe even all these cars have been mentioned here before. But, I like to know who built the cars & all who have raced 'em.

They are:

(1) #4 Dave Edwards

(2) #64 Mike Morgan

(3) #65 Dave Batta

(4) #72 Michael Moyer

Mike Morgan is listed with a '76 Bird, the following year. So, I suppose he could have just changed out the necessary body parts. But, I have no idea whether he sold his '78 or changed it over to a '76.

Just an observation: I noticed that the Don Holmes & Dave Edwards Birds were at or very near the top of quite a few Q-lists, during that time period.

1, Bob Michael car, as was / is the Don /Rob Holmes car. Two different cars.

2, Not sure, but I believe Mike converted it from a 77-78

3, My old car. I built it from a 78 T-A. donated sponsor body, as was told in the mag. articles. I changed it to a Formula.
I sold it to Dean Ribiero , who sold it to Dave Batta, who sold it to ??? ( I'll let him come forward, if he wants to)

4, not sure
