WOW! This is awesome!!
That sound alone would always put a smile on anyones face, when Nascar raced REAL cars !
its like an airplane ready to take off !!!
Absolutely 💯 percent ❤😊
Really Kyle didn't put belts on because if something bad happened he didn't want to deal with the grief afterwards. Not that was even a real thought I'm sure. Thanks for sharing
I was just thinkin the same thing, I almost came to tears, hearing that Hemi, remembering Richard driving it, the sound of that Hemi, Kyle Appreciate you and the guys getting it runnin and going down the backroads the way your Dad would.
This new style is so LGBT it's not funny can't nobody race like that if everyone's equal
Now that’s what a NASCAR car is supposed to sound like
I'm sixty six and you're damn right
Yeah it made me watch every race that I could as a kid ....
Still wrenchin after 30+ years and that's about half of their years wrenchin to perfection!
Amen!!!!!!!!
@@rodneypratt4324 , me, too. 66 and I'm miss the old NASCAR.
Do new Nascar's not use v8s or something? I wish they still used stock cars that we could buy. What are we talking about?
When Kyle shut it down, he went to pull the steering wheel off- pure muscle memory from a lifetime of racing! 😊
In 1974 when I was 12 , the most boring family holiday in the Scottish Highlands suddenly became a lifelong memory .
Coming down on the Glenshee ski centre chair lift , the wild howling bark of a vehicle became louder and louder.
Heading north from the "devils elbow" a (what I now know to be a Plymouth Roadrunner) white , huge , winged beast , unsilenced , driven with hostility and skill , blasting past 50horsepower British cars with a thunderstorm roar , expertly heel and toes under the brakes .
If you think one of these is impressive in an oval , driven flat out through a Scottish glen it's just spine tingling.
Like a baby chicken I was imprinted that day , 10 years later I saw the car and followed it (just in my GTI) for 25 miles to a farmhouse near Inverness.
Had a chat with the driver who once was a famous racing driver .
He liked the sound too , but was a bit deaf from his racing days . JYS
That's awesome
I'm doing my best to imagine it. I'm in Australia so maybe once every few months you'd see a 60s Mustang and a mid 50s Chevy, but you won't see a genuine Superbird or anything of the likes in your lifetime here. In my 28 years of existence, the rarest American Muscle I've seen close to this was a 68 Charger. And even then I've only seen 2.
Absolutely love the smile in his face as he cruises down the road but.
Imagine being a kid and just randomly seeing Kyle Petty rolling down the road in a 1970 superbird🙂
Imagine being a 70 year old seeing The Richard Petty 43 Plymouth Super Bird coming down the road. Most kids today wouldn’t know what a Plymouth is 😅
Kid? I’m 50 and I think I’d shed a tear from the excitement 😂
I was a kid when these were prowling the streets.
MOM DAD I JUST SAW A UFO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just returned to my childhood watching I video !
Kyle's face as he hits the highway is the best.
He is a picture of concentration and excitement. He smiles like his daddy too.
This is the reason why most of us don't watch the new NASCAR racing , because cars like the Superbirds are gone ,and now we have to watch Mustangs and Camaros .Long live Mopar legends like the KINGS no. 43
They are not even mustangs and Camaros anymore. They are all pretty much the same car underneath the shell
All the same. Only the stickers and engine brands are different
When that motor fired I shed a tear. What a beautiful roar.
And 100% street legal! 😂 I love that sound!
I am 70 years old and I was there to see Richard drive this unique machine. These were the days when every machine didn't have to equal the other! This was a time when driver skill meant as much as the machine. Gosh I miss those days!
Yes, I agree w/ you 100%! I'm 63.7 now & last I was really into NASCAR, was around '95 w/Jeff Gordon racing. I know, even his car was 'fake', but even then, all cars limited w/restriction plates, were not real 'bought off the showroom cars' & converted for racing. Now, one piece shells where every sponsor takes up every square inch of paint.
I'll catch some of those old races from 70-74 & really see the difference in racing. SUPER skills back then, whereas today, it's like watching a video game. Why I lost interest.
Back when men were men and little boys wanted to grow up just like them...
@@jimplantinga6288great comment,,I,m 67. Those were truly the good old days
Yes sir.. I’m 65 and kind of wonder how everything just sort of went downhill from those glory days of the 1960s and 70s.
Okay, I'm a youngster of 'only' 54 but I agree too, by the end of the 70's NASCAR was wondering to far away from the cars on the roads and by the late 80's I wasn't watching much any more. At least YT has plenty of real NASCAR, NHRA/IHRA/AHRA, SCCA, and even Can-Am and Group B Rally races to see when real men with real skills raced real cars.
I'm 60. Richard Petty and Evel Knievel have been my heroes since childhood.
The Super Bird with Petty driving was an unbeatable combination.
The sound of that Chrysler starter is iconic!
I always loved the sound of those Mopar Starters, reminded of Fred Flintstones , purple Dog, Dino!!! I'm also a lifetime Richard Petty fan too, I have 10 pairs of the sunglasses he wore back in the '70s, and his ever present Charlie One Horse Hat!!! LONG LIVE THE KING, RICHARD PETTY, Mopar Nate, Philadelphia,Pennsylvania
I hear that sound and turn around looking for the MOPAR!
Typical day in Level Cross. Just riding down the road and here comes Kyle Petty by you in a '70 Superbird.
Not just any super bird either!
60yr old kid here - what an incredible trip down memory lane! Thanks for this. My neighbours enjoy'd the sound from my speakers here this morning.
Richard Petty raced LONG before i was born, i was born in 2002, my dad had a poster of this car that he hung in my bedroom as a kid, i idolized Mr. Petty and this car my entire life, hearing her come to life gave me goosebumps, and brought a tear to my eye
Hey Brother I hear You 100 % What a Glorious Glorious vehicle ! Amazing ! 👍🏻✅
Same for me I was born 2005
I got Richard Petty's autograph after he won the Firecracker 400 in 1976. So he was having some good years while I was alive. That was NASCAR back then. You'd see them in line with 3 cases of beer on their heads. They'd die of alcohol poisoning in the stands! Ah the good old days.
Boys and girls, this is what raw power sounds like. No chips, no fuel injectors, no restrictor plates, no special gadgets, etc. Just a big ole engine block with a carburetor for maximum raw power. The rest, is up to the driver.
One of a few reasons I don't watch NASCAR any more. One piece plastic bodies, same mechanicals, so generic.
That along w/ the 'small things', like not seeing the AMERICAN flag a.k.a., 'Stars & Bars' , flying around here & there.
Racing then, was RIVALRY, not ruled by over regulation, rules & political correctness.
Now, maybe on occasion, I'll catch the 1st 15 min of the Daytona 500, or Talladega 500. Then lose interest fast.
@@rascaliwmc I agree with your sentiments. My brother and I were season ticket holders to Daytona, Dover and Pocono. We had our tickets for over 35 years. The old tickets were good enough to visit the pit stop area without special passes. Over the years, we met the old great drivers. Then NASCAR took away pit stop visits unless you had a special pass for an extra dollar. Then NASCAR made more changes we did not like; aka, restrictor plates, cookie cutter cars, banning flags, adding social justice, DEI and other liberal crap. We cancelled our tickets. It was no longer fun to go to the races. He still watches the races on TV from time to time, but I don't. And to add insult to injury, NASCAR is experimenting with electric cars now or as I prefer to call them, robots. If that comes through, the track is going to sound like a baby's room. Good luck that!
Man and machine. No B/S involved.
I love how people like to talk about a marvel of modern technology like the internal combustion engine designed for competitive endurance racing like it’s a freakin bow & flint-head arrow.
Haha no chips😂 my friends laugh at me when I say there’s nothing like the sound of a true muscle car . Carbureted 😎
No way anyone could leave this video without a smile!
My cat was interrupting me. But I can't get mad at my cat. This is an extreme Road Runner. Just as I remember though. A tin can packing rude horsepower
Elon Musk probably wouldn't be smiling, since he wants to force us all to drive little plastic electric rollerskates.
@@CrazyBear65I think you got Elon wrong. He ain’t forcing anyone. He just offers a product you don’t have to buy if you don’t want it. I haven’t bought one. But talk about American power, Elon has created the most powerful rocket the world has ever seen, and created it in America, 100% American-made, by Americans. What’s wrong with that? And it works at least as well as that Superbird, but with an even wilder sound of raw power! He’s an American (a citizen), even though not born here.
You got that wright.😃
@@Andrew-13579elon is a fucking idiot with a superiority complex and he should have been in the oceangate sub
Soon as that engine roared to life I could smell the exhaust!!!!
If the sound of Richards HEMI going down the road doesn't make you feel like a true American, I don't know what would.
Those were the days
50 years ago that car ran the tracks faster than the current cars and drivers. That was racing!
Thanks to all involved at Petty Racing, and best wishes to Mr. Petty on his recent birthday.
So true, that car did 200 mph on the track, with 1970 technology!
With far inferior tires
Don't forget the '69 Daytona
It was also an era where they killed a driver or two every year ...
@@marklittle8805 who is they?
The sound of that car coming to life is the sound of my youth. Still sounds better than anything made today, pure power.
Nice lumpy cam lope and excellent high compression does it to me every time !
After all the years, it still brings a smile to Kyle's face.
I had the privilege of going to the Petty Museum last summer. So cool seeing all the cars in person, Getting close and seeing everything.
They're no fun sitting still. You have to see them on the track. Being in the stands getting rubberized. The sound as they roar by. It gets you right in the feels.
Man, just took me back 50 years!
I REALLY miss '60s and '70s Winston Cup...
Even 80s
I was born in 1970 and was a Petty fan from the age of 3 as,was our whole family...I miss the 70s and 80s era.Todays racing is just not enjoyable.
That was the most restrained ear-to-ear grin I've ever seen, while Kyle was driving
I'm grinning watching him grin !
BIG FUN,I can imagine!!!!
So Awesome!!! Listen to that motor come back to life!!! Love Kyle waiving to the neighbors while taking the most Iconic Superbird out for a drive. Rock On!!!
I grew up watching Cale & Leroy Yarbrough, Richard Petty, A. J. Foyt, Ned Jarret, Bobby & Davey Allison, Darrel Waltrip, Rusty Wallace, Dale Earnhardt and SO many more giants of NASCAR. The sound of that Plymouth takes me back to those times instantly.
It doesn't get better than this , A Petty behind the wheel of a nascar superbird!!
Kyle, I like how you went for the steering wheel release. Old habits never die.
I noticed that too 😂
We thought it would be funny to leave that bit in there!
@@PettyFamilyRacing Glad you did. It was great, LOL.
What's the steering wheel from? Looks like OE steering column but can put mu finger on that wheel. Old international truck like
I saw that too. Looked like the wheel was wrapped in electrical tape.
I remember Richard from back in the 70’s as a child. Everyone loved him so much and still do today as well as his family
Back when NASCARS were real. I was 6 years old and fell in love with this car in 1970. I'll be 60 this month.
Can you imagine seeing the king's car on the road wow # 43
I am a 69 year old quebec resident. My brother and i snuck over to the track at daytona when camping with mom and sisters. Hey mom can i borrow the car? It cost us 25 cents a peice to get in the stands. What was goin on? Firecracker 400 time trials. Saw the king run superbird around the track.Never forgot. Since have been to petty museum twice.Oh mom we just went for a little ride.haha.
Did you ever see the White Superbird that parked just inside the fortification wall/gate at 1000 Rue Saint-Jean in Quebec City in the late 1970s?
What a beautiful car, man I miss those days. I stopped watching NASCAR once Richard and then Dale was no longer racing, Thank you for showing this car in all its glory again!
I love you tried to take the steering wheel off when you parked Kyle. Muscle memory kicking in.
The King and Evel knevel were the 2 biggest heroes of every kid in the 60s and 70s and rightfully so they were the best at what they did and were both fan friendly
"Purrs like a kitten?" Undestatement of the century. Roars like a pride of lions.
Sounded like an elephant
That thing must be an absolute beast !!!!
That was freaking awesome! Put a big smile on my face.
Loved that era as a kid.
Back when NASCAR was great! I could care less about it now but seeing and hearing this classic gave me goosebumps!!
So many guys feel just like you.
I grew up just down Randleman Road from the Pettys. The one thing I miss is hearing them testing engines on the dyno for upcoming races. They’d load test them with hard pulls and you could hear it for miles away! The Petty family certainly completed the community and made it that much more special to live in..
Richard Petty and that Car Is the Final Word of Motor Racing, There's Nothing Else To Say, Thankyou to the Petty Family.
It is my absolute dream to see a car as legendary as this one in person someday, especially at The Goodwood Festival of Speed. This car is INCREDIBLY COOL. Much love from Texas, y’all!
And that ladies and gentleman that is how a racecar is intended to be. Thank God I was lucky enough to see this car race. Momentous occasion. 🏁
Me too!!!
That Superbird sounds like no other. As a kid, it was my absolute favorite.
Extremely easy to recreate lol agreed it sounds amazing but it's just a hemi. Nothing exotic
@@fisterfrontside2140oh look another keyboard mechanic
@in-rust-we-trust2831 you damn right.. the best you've ever seen
My lord. The smile on that man’s face is worth a thousand words
Seeing the smiles on Kyle’s face shows how much it means to him. It’s a good thing to get to go back in time.
Honestly, perhaps the singlemost iconic “stock car” or race car or, really, any car. Love that Kyle is going to be driving this thing again.
It is the most Iconic IMO !
THE ICONIC American race car...
beats out the Chaparral by a (very long) nose!
Dodge Daytona. '69.
The gt40 though
@@nocomment3600 - Honestly, I like the looks of the gt40 more. In fact, I’m not the hugest fan of these wing cars, like many are. But this specific one, blue as it is, is instantly recognizable and connects to a specific person in ways only something like the black Goodwrench Lumina #3 does.
Wish I was on the side of the road when this thing went past.
Me too!!!
That was awesome, the excitement on Kyle’s face……Truly a kid in the candy store look.
Made me smile and a little more!
Bet driving that was a full body moment, and made you think about what you were driving in your day. I'm way closer to your age but loved to watch the early 80s racing until about 2000 when I quit watching.
I did the Petty experience, at the lowest level, in Vegas 20 years ago and hit 136, which was only slightly faster than what I've done at 2am on 95 in Georgia 😬
But the sound and the feeling can't be matched!
Thank you to your family, ESPECIALLY THE KING, for all you have done through the years to keep people involved in motorsports!
Imagine just driving down the road to go to the grocery store, and BAM!... this work of art drives by you. Wow! Thanks for sharing.
I was a 12 yr old kid from NJ back in 1970 . .knew just about every driver . .Richard was one of my favorite's . . . . . to see and hear this car up close and personal gave me chills and brought back a nice childhood memory . .just a great video!!
Richard Petty's best car!! Definitely an automotive treasure. You guys have done a great job maintaining it for all these years.
This car is bad ass! I love the sound of that engine!
love that Petty Blue!
It's great to see Kyle Petty driving his dad's car, love the smile on his face when he hits it, really cool as I grew up in the seventies
HOLY COW THAT IS AMAZING. I grinned ear to ear and even got a bit choked up every time he smiled getting on the gas. I can’t wait to see that on a track
Couple of my favorite hidden things in this video. 1) Kyle Petty didn't use the belts. 2) After shutting down the engine and parking it, he reached through the wheel to decouple it, but this thing doesn't have a detachable one.
I caught the steering wheel too, but it’s muscle memory… and I thought that was great.
3 speed trans too.
The wheel is wrapped in high performance electrical tape. The original 200 mph tape.
Noticed the first point but not the second one…good eye.
I noticed the same thing. Force of habit.
What a car! What a driver! What a engine! As a Moparman this has to be when the Hemi shined its brightest and a superb driver was at his best.
My dad and I watched this, and big smiles on our faces 1# because we are mopar fans and 2# it's awesome to see the old superbird up and running
What a special time for the Petty family as well as the crew at the Petty’s Garage. Only one question… “Does the King know that Kyle is driving that car out on the highway?”
I don't see how it's legal. Maybe it has an antique vehicle exemption today? There's no lights on it. Open headers. Don't bother putting plates on it. There's a number on the door. Everyone's going to know whose car it is. It wasn't me officer, I swear it was someone else with a car just like it.
What a great day to see the Superbird out again! Even better was seeing Kyle drive it! Congratulations to the Petty family!
He's gonna run it at Goodwood this year too! Timed runs.
Just got back to Los Angeles 3 days ago from a cross-country drive to see friends along the way. Took a day-trip from Spartanburg, SC to visit Level Cross and the Petty museum, home of one of my boyhood heroes (although when I was 8 years old, the Superbird I was always pulling for was that beautiful #71 and Mr. Bobby Isaac!!). My sole purpose was to see this gorgeous monster of a car, and remember what it was like as a kid seeing that race car fly on Wide World of Sports. When I walked past the last cars without seeing that big wing anywhere, I asked one of the guys in the shop in back where was the Superbird, he said they had just shipped it off a few weeks before to England and the Goodwood festival. I was in shock! Luckily, the people at the museum were wonderful, and all of the history within those walls made up for the one car that wasn't there. Can't wait to come back someday and see it there in all its glory!
It’s the favorite car of all of us 60 something NASCAR and Petty fans Kyle. Thanks for taking us for a ride. Have fun at Goodwood.
Thank you Kyle for keeping that bird alive !
Such an iconic piece of history. Would love to see this run a couple of laps at Daytona again.
Talladega.
I’m 50 yrs old this year but every time I see the kings car, it takes me back to watching the races with my dad,,,, it was the best!!!!! I love that car!
Wow, how COOL!! I remember that car from television when I was 12 years old. It was the most astounding stock car ever, and possibly the most beautiful American race car ever. Thanks!
I love that they didn’t have a chase car making a big deal out of it. Just Kyle driving around town in his dad’s old car. Imagine the people lucky enough to see it that day just driving down the street.
At a boy Kyle keep them MOPARS alive
Thank you guys for taking care of this beautiful piece of history and keeping it running. Long live the classic American V8
thanks for bringing back the memories Kyle. i was 13 when that thing roamed the track. i became a professional transmission rebuilder for 45 years, i was influenced by growing up on my dad's used car lot in the 60s-70s,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Omg the sound of that car gives me goose bumps
This is a real race car right here. I wasn't born when these beasts hit the track, but I watched films, and I enjoy watching them more than nascar today. Feel the power. Congratulations to Richard Petty on 75 years in nascar
Yep you missed the good old days!
I like the old Trans Am series racing and the cars back then way better..Mark
Donahue and Parnelli Jones and some of the other drivers tore up the tracks in the Z-28 Camaros..Boss 302 Mustangs and the AMX Javelins etc.
My second car was a 68 charger built 440,4speed and gravel roads.
Yep, real modified cars then compared to the tube framed funny cars out today. Last week a Ford, change team directions, reskin with facsimile Chevy body panels
What a treat for Uk car lovers to see this magnificent machine and driver at Goodwood festival of speed!
Imagine going to the hardware store and seeing Kyle petty drive by in that car ...bucket list
People talking about the sound of the engine but what got me was the sound of the starter! Didn't matter if attached to a slant 6, 318, 340, 383, 426 or 440 they all had the same starter sound!
From the perspective of being 6 in 1970 nothing came close to being a living Hot Wheels car to me then Mopars but especially the Daytonas and Superbirds. The colors and graphics set them apart. Always enjoy watching the old races and your dad's racing style.
Enjoy your trip to Goodwood!
So very true! I was born in 61 my folks bought their very new car in 65' a Formula S Barracuda! Ordered a blue with racing stripe 4sp etc waited the 9 months to get it, but on thevm way from Detroit to Seattle train derailed and tge car was destroyed! Not willing to wait for another one they got the downtown dealership showroom floor one for only 2700 and change! The trips to visit family in the summer at night, no air conditioner, on I-5 to sacramento in 10 hrs while mom slept and I stayed awake with dad was a memory ill never forget 2 lane road with dips that at 120 mph gets you a smooth air born lift that set down really easy, dad and i would as quietly as possible so not to wake mom yelp out and giggle! What a fun family car! My first car was a 65' not a formula S but still cool, then in 96' I bought a 65' w/ the factory 4sp but a 318 rusted out exhaust that ran good but loud as hell got collected plates for it that I used as a milk getter! Every time I would start her it rumbled not like a hemi but still made me feel like it was! Rowing thru gears like Kyle was so fun and it would give burning tires half way thru 3rd gear! I also had a 73' 24 ' class A motor home I restored with a big block 413 wedge with dual exhaust with Cheryl bombs that dumped just before the rear duallies, every time I started that beast up my 3 yr old daughter would beg for me to turn it off cuz it was so loud! I took that shoe box over a 100 mph one time with my brother in law after a boys weekend out. Had a built 340 in a 67' Cornet 500 as you said they all sounded so sweet from the same starter motor Mopars all had! Have the best memories of my Mopar days! I have a 03 town and country with 210k miles I drove from sacramento from where I live now to Seattle and back a total 1800 mile trip got 27 mpg average taking that 3.8 over a 100 in the Northern California passes and it prrrr without a problem! Love my Mopar always have and always will! Seeing tgat old bird looking brand new is what Mopar all about win on Sunday selling em on Monday! Those 10 or so yrs Mopar got back in NASCAR made for great Sundays but I had to stop watching after they bailed! Oh on that same trio I went to see my buddy in eastern Washington and got a private tour of his bosses car collection, he's got more than 60 awesome cars of all sorts but the only one I was truly excited about was his triple blk 2018 Demon! That was tge highlight of that trip the sound of that supercharger was as close as ilk ever get to the same feeling if I were to ever hear that Petty blue bird in this video! Sad to see Mopar go down the tubes now! We grew up in tge best of times, it was a privilege that no buddy else would understand, but we do!
@@BradHorning-gi6zj I have a 1970 Dodge Commander sitting in the yard with a 413 industrial in it. Speaking of starters I need to replace the starter in it. Otherwise its a runner with a little over 80,000 miles on it.
@@lisam4503 mine was the 24' Concord 73 if I hadn't remodeled it ot would have been to put the drive train in sleeper truck the rear gears were a 456 limited slip Spicer. Love those 413 big blocks strong, simple and reliable! It got 9 mpg going up hill or down it blew the doors off of my dads 454 chevy powered motorhome! Love my Mopars!
1st car I ever rode in over 100mph was a 71 Superbird The guy who took me for that ride back in 77 still has the car as far as I know. I was hooked. The sound, feel , smell, going 120 mph is still etched in my mind.Those birds were bitchin
Remember that car as a kid. I am a bit younger than Kyle but not much. I was a huge fan of Richard at that time. Thank you for sharing this wonderful machine.
That sound!!! I was born in 1970, I built a model of this car and Richard’s STP Charger when I was younger. Just spectacular!
Growing up a Ford fan back in the day, I hated those blue cars with a passion, but seeing and hearing one of them now brings tears to my eyes, as those were the golden days of NASCAR, and a sport of men. Seeing Kyle in that seat, going through the gears, was priceless. Seeing Richard run Goodwood was special to me, and I'm looking forward to seeing Kyle make the crowds smile. Love Petty Blue !!!
Die hard Mopar guy, but them old Fords were some awesome rides too. Anyone that says different doesn’t know squat
I wonder if you would like the Isle of man TT. Two fewer wheels than you are used to but, every year they literally race to the death pushing the limits. Most still compete multiple years knowing the risks.
The torino talladega was beautiful
THE MOST iconic car of all NASCAR! So glad to see her still here and looking, sounding and , driving better than anything we see today!
Now “THAT’S a RACE CAR!!!!” Especially the “REAL ENGINE “ under the hood!!! The sound of that 426 Hemi firing up, & then “Singing Pretty “ to us, made my heart remember “ the good old days,” when “racing was REAL!!” Thanks for keeping the “Dreams “ alive!!🥳🥳🥳🥳🤩🤩🤩🤩😎😎😎😎
Boys and girls, this is what raw power sounds like)))
As a kid and still to this day, this has always been my dream car ever since the first time I saw him race in a Superbird. Awesome!
I forgot what a thrill it was , driving my 74 charger 440 magnum four speed. In 78 at 20 years old. Great sounding video! Thanks.
The beginning seeing those men care for this car is enough to make you cry
It is so good to see this car as it brings back a lot of memories. Even better that you and your dad can still enjoy it.
Cool.I remember those cars.THAT was racing back in those day. Real race cars with real drivers.
Imagine living on that street!? Best Ring video I would ever have!!!! Win on Sunday, buy on Monday! Those weee the good ole days of nascar…
Just another reason I am so proud to call N.C. home. The Petty legacy and being old enough to remember when Richard piloted these monsters and hearing that 426 hemi roar! (Okay I'm gonna letcha slide on driving a ford that year! LOL!) Those were the days of NASCAR greatness! And the battles of the other drivers, Pearson, Allison , Yarborough just to name a few. Boys now that was racin'!
Thank You Petty family and employees for bringing this back to full on race ready of yesteryear..
I don't think I missed a single race from that time frame.
I even remember seeing King Richard get tangled up in the barrier fence.
Seeing Kyle reach for the steering wheel release button made me chuckle.
I kept thinking that Kyle was going to pull up to the King’s house to see if he wanted a ride.
Love the plymouth, love the power, love the Pettys! Great video!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it
Now that....that is a real car, no fancy electronics, just straight mechanical beautiful glory
I could listen to that motor and watch this all day! Can’t wait to see Kyle drive it at Goodwood!
OMG! I can SEE why Kyle LOVES this car cause I LOVE it too! I don't know how he could keep a s*** eating grin off his face! I can only imagine seeing that car going down the road. I thought it was cute when Kyle shut it off and his first instinct, out of habit, to reach up to take the steering wheel off. LOVE THIS VIDEO!!! Now, let's get Richard in it!♥
Could you imagine driving around Level Cross and seeing Kyle crusing down the road in the Superbird! The buildings must shake when this monster goes by!!
5:52 that interval in the muffler sound: pure eargasm !
