The car was first purchased by Ed Rahal, (bobby Rahal's second Cousin) and raced extensively. Ed was one of the designers of Roebling Road Raceway and the track's first manager. The car was bought by William and Al Morris after the bristol engine had exploded. Ed had also raced the car with a Chevrolet 283. The Morris's used the car and after an accident used it as a parts car for 3050. I purchased 3050 in 1982 and began the restoration of 3019.
