I asked, but don't remember getting a response.

When I looked up pics of Larry Maxwell cars, on Auto Imagery, the 1st two are of a '74 GTO, which I didn't know he raced. He was R/U at the World Finals in '81 & '82, and the Golden Gate Nats in '83.

Anybody have a good pic of this black '74 GTO I can download ?

Also, I assume Barbara is, or was, Larry's wife. She is listed as the driver of Larry's car, occasionally. On at least 1 Q-list I noticed that BOTH Larry & Barbara were listed as drivers of Firebird Stockers. Here's an example, where he's listed in a '72 Bird & she is listed in a '73 Bird.

I've found pics of a Blue Bird, with his 7700 number on it. Anybody know anything about the 2nd Bird ?
Auto Imagery shows a blue Bird with her 7701 number on it. But it looks like the same car. At some point, were they running 2 cars which looked that much alike ?

I assume that car listed as a '72, with Larry driving, was a mistake. I figure he was actually driving his '72 455HO powered Lemans.
