The car looks a lot like the former Dick Moreland (RIP) Wagon now owned by Clayton "Slo Motion" Wright last campaigned by Clayton and Dick a few ears back before Dick's health went south. Dick was a great guy to be around plenty of jokes and stocker knowledge.

Uh oh, I'm plenty embarrassed.
Frank, it is Dick Moreland's old car. And you are right, I believe (I have CRS) it was Clayton that bought it. It's been a while. I "remembered" the wrong Mopar guy.

I didn't know Dick passed away. RIP

Mike wore that hat (and that shirt, for that matter) for years.

Dick’s 65 has been owned by David and Donna Koopman of Maryville TN. They campaigned the car with the 273 and now in the process of completely updating the combo. It’s a great looking car “Class of 65” but I don’t have a hosting app to load a current picture.

The car Mike owned was a '65 Plymouth that he bought from Dick.
There was a blue '65 Dodge that was Dick's called "Class Of '65", that Ray Valpreda owned for a while.
Man, time flies!

It looks like the guy on the far right was wearing some other brand of beer shirt, but they slapped a Molson sticker over it for the pic.

That was the nicest '65 wagons. Clayton brought it to anther level with his 273 combination which was state of the art at the time. The collectors where 3 feet long!

We lost in the Super Stock final at MIR to Clayton in his SS/AA Barracuda when we "borrowed for the year" Frank Lupo's SS/BA Hemi Dodge with Jimmy Lovallo at the wheel.
It was too cool.

We didn't get back to Connecticut until 4:30 Monday morning and went to work.
