My intent was not to confuse the numbering on the cars, rather I was trying to keep my serial number away from this public forum, but my hand has been forced to clear this up. I am not a numbers guy when it comes to who has, or had certain cars & where they place on the serial number list. I am going by the first KNOWN & DOCUMENTED car which WAS Morgans car. I could really care less if my car is the #7 ( now the #8 known car) or the #47 car, I just want to find it's history prior to 1982. You have added a great deal of info to this thread, & I really appreciate it. Thankyou Now can we get back to the reason I posted this thread. Here's another shot of the Wild Fire. Sorry for the poor quality. liteweight PS How can you verify that 297833 car. Have you seen it? ![]() |

Daryl,
Thanks for the early photos of the car that became "Wild Fire". I started working at Town + Country Dodge in 1969 and was not aware until now that there was an earlier paint scheme on the car. Did you get those photos from Tim? I am 99% sure they were taken behind the dealership, I used to work in the bays behind the glassed overhead doors. Jim Shiels |

Good to see you back on this thread again. Thanx for taking the time to talk to me on the phone several times. Great stories man!!! Care to share a few on this thread? Yes I got those photos from Tim. I asked him whatever became of that car & his reply was he sold it to a guy in Ohio that owned Toledo Scales. liteweight Last edited by Liteweight; 07-18-2011 at 12:10 PM. |
