Darrell Waltrip's Time Capsule: 1971 GMC Hauler Packed FULL of NASCAR History (Museum Grade Stuff)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- If you've watched the first video on this epic hauler you already know it was formerly hauling Dale Earnhardt cars and Bobby Allison among other things in its career. Darrell packed this thing full to the roof with personal items, awards, and memorabilia at some point when moving in the mid 90's...then completely forgot about it. The truck has moved to a couple locations since then but NEVER unpacked until now! Darrell gives us the backstory on the truck itself over the phone and is excited to have some of his old trophies back! This right here is honestly one of the coolest things I have ever been a part of. I am glad we could team up with @TheGarageShop200 to share it with you guys too. Make sure you subscribe if you are into history like this because this is just the tip of the iceberg!

One of the yoyo's
The #11 mountain dew car
I love digging thru old stuff so cool to see, smell and feel the past ... Also fuckin love the boom tubes on the Monte that thing is just to cool bro congrats!!!!!!! Keep Mitchell in line Logan lol cheers guys!!
The steering wheel.
That steering wheel would be cool for the Monte if DW would let ya have it
I bet the Nascar museum wants the video tapes. Lost history needs to be digital for everyone to watch.
Same for those letters, especially the ones from Goodyear (during the "tire wars" with Hoosier) and Harry Melling. That's some next level materials of NASCAR history there!
Yeah all of those need to be digitized
Dang this is epic
Boogity Boogity Boogity boys let's go race I miss hearing that every week when the race is on!! Good ol DW!
Wish DW would call in and announce it BOOGITY BOOGITY BOOGITY boys let's go racing race fan's would love it
Yeah I miss him too! But he deserves his time off now!
I would love to see everything restored but not replaced and of course get her running and sounding like a monster. It would be super cool to have Darryl record an audio biography on the truck so the recording can be played if used for an exhibit.
It would be sick if you can get a sit down interview with D.W and talk about his experiences
Back I'm gonna say around 1990-1991. Our local track here in Tucson used to invite the pros out and they would race the top five cars. The class was late model sportsman it was a dirt track. I got to meet Dale Earnhardt Senior, Richard Petty, and Darrell Waltrip. And actually have a beer I'm not sure what they were drinking keep in mind. We all just sat at the beer well and chitchatted after the race. All I have to say is those were Men for sure. We were talking about restrictor plate racing and I remember Dale Earnhardt said if it was up to me we just take those damn restrictor plates off May the best driver win! Then I became a fan LOL
Im assuming you have watched the movie Stroker Ace. If not I highly suggested I guarantee you you will dig it it
That’s awesome! Memories that will last a lifetime for sure
I miss DW being around the sport. Guy could tell some stories.
That's why they called him JAWS.
That was absolutely awesome to be able to see some of that stuff. Someday that all might be in a museum and you'll be able to say I helped ReDiscover that a out of Darrell Waltrip's old car hauler. To be able to hear from DW himself was the icing on the cake
Everything about this is freaking cool. Time capsule stuff right here. Glad you got the chance to do this.
Your Nascar knowledge is impressive. "Time only happens once" Pearl of wisdom.
That was said on the spot I had never used that phrase before 😂
@@Stapleton42 Another way of saying live life in the moment "Time only happens once" sounds better. OK if I use that quote?
That was cool brought back my childhood of the 80's early 90's. Definitely need to keep that history alive thank you for sharing it👍, and yes save that sweet 71 GMC.
The monte needs that drive shaft in it. No more broken driveshafts, lol. It fits the theme.
Ive watched Darrel grow, now watching you grow Stapleton , Awesome ....... Awesome.............................
Thanks man 💪🏻 just getting started
That was awesome, all that cool stuff finally seeing the light of day after who knows how long. Kinda makes me wanna find an abandoned NASCAR hauler to dig thru. As for picking something to keep from this one, I'd probably go for one of the stickers, one of the toy cars or one of the Pontiac hats
I had that Mountain Dew plastic race car. Man I even forgot about it, and to this day a racing enthusiast. Wow I had a rush of memories.
What a sensory overload! So stoked to see all of this , thanks so much for sharing this piece of amazing history!
Now that was definitely worth 47 mins ! Excellent video!!!!
I remember picking out grant steering wheel for my pos 93 Toyota 22R 5 speed from Western Auto! I loved that steering wheel! So many highschool memories
Lmao i like Spud talking about Bill Boner and "I only drink 2 kinds of beer, Budweiser, and FREE", and all the other quips and jokes lmao he fits right in on this channel. Im not even a nascar guy but i love the history and thinking what was going on in that trucka nd seeing all the time capsule stuff
Dang, how cool is that! You are so right, time only happens once, as you said in the video. It was a huge positive experience to be able to go through this time capsule of a great race car driver's career for sure. That was also so cool to be able to speak to Darrell himself, and that you all did contact him about all his stuff that is in excellent shape.
You sure stumbled upon a huge gold mine of NASCAR memorabilia for sure! This video rocks for sure, and a huge thank you to you & Logan for sharing all of this with us!
Keep up the great video content, and you know I'm right there with you all.
you are not lying, Bella canvas is one of my customers . high dollar sh!t brother !! awesome to see you going through D.W.s time capsule .....
Thanks dude. Only the best 🤟🏻
This is probably the best video you have done yet, that your not working on vehicles!! Glad you moved to NC!!
Me too we love it here. Thanks dude we appreciate you 💪🏻
Super cool to see that stuff from the era I grew up in. Brings back memories of my dad and I watching nascar and many other motorsports over the weekends. Sparked my interest in muscle cars and anything that’s fast with a nasty American V8. Gotta love it. Great job guys and gals.
One hell of a video bro!!!! It was cool to see the history packed away in that truck! This is the stuff that sets you apart from other RUclips influencers that race! You guys keep up the great content!
Thats some awesome history y'all found. Should hit up JH Diesel and see about a video collaboration on getting that truck running again .
Robert Gee used to have the Mountain Dew car in his garage behind his house. He told me the story of using VW beetle front fenders to go over the front wheels.
Defintitely the Winston briefcase. Stapleton your NASCAR history videos are amazing. I am completely addicted. Between these and the Phantom restoration you’ve got my subscription. Keep up the amazing videos sir!
Thanks man we appreciate you!
S-42 polish the storage truck up and use it in a museum or take it to rallies to auction some of that stuff for restoring the old racetrack’s needing help.
That truck totally needs to be made right again! It's racing history!
As an old days DW fan I really enjoyed this one!!! Great job as always Stape!!! 👍💯💪🇺🇸
Thanks Paul you’ll love the video we did at Robert gees old shop!
@@Stapleton42 will definitely check it out! Watching the Rock tour video now… awesome stuff!!! You are an old soul and do a great job capturing the history… thanks for sharing with us.
Great video on the DW truck history. Western Auto takes me back in time. I went to that store with my Dad in the late 70's in Riverside Rhode Island. love the old car history racing and daily drivers of today and yesterday.
What’s Great find in history and how much fun🙂 yes definitely restore it with its trailer for the younger historians like yourselves🇺🇸😎🦅👍🏻🇺🇸
I met Daryl Waltrip at Arrowhead Stadium when he was driving for Western Auto and they brought him and his whole crew to a Chiefs game I then ran into him at Atlanta airport and he was as nice and genuine as he could be both times!
Awesome video guys!! What a NASCAR treasure trove!! DW was a super important part of Nascar history. This is enough stuff to start a DW museum.
DW had a museum and closed it when he retired from broadcasting. Thats where most of the cars stored here used to live
Most the time ppl say if the walls could talk , but the stuff he kept a lot ppl just threw out gave the walls a voice glad you let us hear them with you , this was badass men killed it with this video 💯🤙🇺🇸
Wow, mind blown! What a time capsule, amazing how much history was in that one truck!
2 flavors of Gatorade then
That DiGard plate is awesome. My dads uncle was the owner of DiGard so it’s really cool to see that
Was it Bill Gardner?
@@loganerwin42 yeah
That’s wild. Have you listened to Dale JR’s podcast with Darrell?
@@loganerwin42 I don’t usually listen to it
Definitely give it a listen on the episode done with Darrell. Pretty cool to hear the old “cheating stories” trap doors for the lead balls, contracts with companies and stuff it’s interesting
This is so cool thank you for bringing all of us this amazing video
You’re welcome man I’m glad you’re here!
I definitely want to see it restored and running man. What a piece of history
Considering the truck is a GMC and the exhaust is 4” it’s probably a 8V71 Detroit Diesel. Pull the valve covers and make sure the injectors aren’t stuck, put batteries in it and it should fire up, change the fuel filters also. When DW said it leaked a lot of oil confirmed pretty much it’s a 71 series Detroit.
Gotta Love living around the history of Nascar!
Those words that were said when you were holding the License Plate are so true. I only know the tales my dad tells me
Upstairs of my house had that carpet upstairs when i bought it 5 years ago but its green. 70's camo 😆
Definitely would love to see it resurrected, what a lot of really cool memorabilia and memories
This was a great find, and the characters were hilarious. I laughed more at this than some comedy shows.👍👍👍👍 Keep up the good work
Thanks man!!
Man your heart must have been pumpin! Pretty cool
That’s really cool, thanks to whoever allowed this to happen.
Very cool. I love the level of respect you have for the items.
this will give me something to watch while i prep dinner for tonight.
That truck NEEDS to be restored to hauler spec. Would be pretty cool to see it back on the interstates goin track to track. Maybe they'd let you commandeer it for some racing
@logan “was there cocaine in Pepsi back then?”
“Oh ew it’s from the Middle East”
“I declare you suck”
Also “Waldtrip” had me ☠️😂 although the presidential photo is still legit.
“Pawn stars and American pickers can suck it”
😂😂😂
@@Stapleton42 glad I could supply a laugh, you two always have me dying 😂☠️
That was a very cool video. The old race stuff is cool. Thank you.
You’re welcome man. I’m glad you’re here
What a lucky person to be able to dig around in this time capsule of a truck. Great video guys.
I need those Vans in my life! So true, time only happens once! This was great!
That's amazing. Getting that thing running would be sweet
Wow, that old Jimmy is a really cool piece even before it's history is known. I'm guessing it probably has 6V-92 power, there'd be no problem bringing that back to life & it sure would look the part hauling my 40ft streamliner down the road!
It’s cool that he hung onto that trophy
They showed it off at the 2000 fall Phoenix race
Would like to see the truck restore and cleaned up, really cool getting to see this video
Freakin awesome. Looks like a great dive into the past
Cool time capsule for sure.
Damn! My laser cutter is down that road, I’ve driven past that truck a thousand times!
I dig those Stapleton shirts! I have to have one of them!
Thanks man!
41:12…That looks like Gary Nelson on the left. He was with DiGard back in the 1970s. Buddy Parrot may be in the middle.
Insane amount of memorabilia, great job!
Thanks man
I think it’s Bush that should have wanted autographs and pictures to remember his Darrell Waltrip experience.😂
Be awesome to restore it and someone get some use out of it so awesome my man!
It would be. That’s not the task for us though lol
Boogity Boogity Boogity ! Let's find some cool memorabilia Boys !!!
Quite interesting tape, and a lot of cool stuff. Thank you
That 25th anniversary flag looked like the piece of plywood or whatever that was at Robert gee in the shed that had the 25 anniversary on one side and big 17 on the other I also think the truck would be amazing with a split paint scheme driver side as the Darrel Waltrip scheme and passenger side wrangler dale sr
Very true
Hell ya brother there are so many memories in the truck. Restore it pull a trailer into the racetrack it will bring more attention than a million dollar hauler👍🇺🇸
Very enjoyable, thanks 😊
I'm now dehydrated from drooling!
So... going though FB i did find the Derek Colson that made that picture lol.. Love the content !!! Cheers from flint mi
Homie in the Gatorade hat is hilarious
Best vid of all time
"Better late than pregnant." Lol
That was awesome
Just imagine what's on those old vhs tapes
Touch it!
I had that same Mountain Dew car with others 12:35 when I was a kid
That’s a yard sale from hell right there. Could make a fortune. 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Good video
Need to get that thing running soon and drive it
Great Video!!
It would to be amazing to see you invite one of your subscribers randomly to come down and take part in videos like this with you! No one else is doing that!!!!
Hell yeah full restore
If you are able to get that stuff back to DW you need to make a video of it
Great video!
I drink two kinds of beer. Budweiser and free! Lol
Boogity Boogity Boogity let's find some treasures boys
You know Mark Martin? Yeah. Dude im so jelly.
Yeah watch the videos we did with him!
Amazing great video proves move was right thing to do. Restore the truck and trailer one side Darrells favorite scheme other side bud Moore wrangler scheme to honor its history.
I had one of those di gard license plates!
Epic!
that thing would be sick to haul ralph
I'm watching right now lol
FUCK YES restore this truck. This would be a kool truck to have
I had that Trans Am like the real one
I'm at the part y'all got Waltrip on the phone
shouts outs from erie Pennsylvania
Anyone else hear that "second round fastest qualifier" speed and know exactly what track it was? haha
I often watch RUclips video of guys rummaging through junk to find video game gold. That's a fun hobby of mine, but not *everything* in those videos is gold like what's in this truck. Holy crap.
