Roddy is ready to roll in this very nice color pic from Medley, approx. 1962-early 63. Now the Morse-Holland Ford special, Later to become Ed Morse Ford, the evolution of Supermodifieds can be clearly seen here. At one time, this was a late 40's Crosley. Then the fenders came off. Then the body was cut in half lengthwise. Then it was sectioned i.e.; sawed in half the other way. Called “bugs” in some parts of the country, and in some cases exist today as modifieds, down here, the next step in the evolution was to throw the stock bodies away altogether and make them from scratch…hence the term “supermodifieds”. The magneto fired ignition is visible, as are the 6 two barrel carburetors mounted on the 406cid cross bolt main, forged crank Ford power plant. The full floater truck rear end sits on racing slicks, which are mounted on Andy’s wheels, an iconic institution in the local racing scene for decades to come The wing shows a shape, is well mounted, and is starting to sprout side boards. A state of the art, cutting edge racecar from the early 60’s. In the hands of a gifted, veteran chauffer like Rod Perry, the #71 Black Bandit was very hard to beat!
