When stock cars looked like the actual street car’s beautiful 🤩
Yes'sir!
Gotta love the street and hobby stock divisions at your local tracks. Hands down the best classes in the country !!
So much power, and nowhere to gallup! That car was screaming to be opened up! Awesome sound!
I thought the same thing, she was begging to be let loose
She was cruising around looking for a race track.
"All this horsepower, and nowhere to gallup!" -Bruce
Love the sound of those older race cars.. especially the ones wit #43 on it!
No one in NASCAR will ever win 200 races ever again. There will always be just 1 King Richard Petty.
That tall shifter just makes me think of the old Rat Fink Ed Roth artwork.
Memories of the old days.
I'm like you, but I prefer mine to be a Black Chevy with 3 on it. 😉
LIKE GISSS LOL
That’s just a mildly built small block Chevy. Nowhere near the level race engine that would’ve been in there originally.
Right I forget you're the expert. Because that's what the King would of had in one of his race cars.
Awesome era of NASCAR. That Aerocoupe back window was a serious game changer for the Monte Carlo SS'. Never could figure out why the Pontiac's didn't see similar success.
That's the last place on Earth I'd expect to see a speed bump.
I'd much rather watch and listen to these cars even while at a standstill than today's cars actually racing.
Dale Inman said the cars were always built around Richard Petty' 😊
They might not have been good racecars but as a Pontiac fan I love the grand prix 2+2
I'm glad to see other people using those classic Craftsman "Iconic" ratchets......I still use mine all the time....And I pick up more here and there....USA made of course....If they're good enough for "The King", they're sure as Hell good enough for me.
To see Master Craftsman at work is amazing....beautiful historic car
Now THAT brings back some great memories.
Damn right!!😊👍
How amazing it must have felt to drive that beast that went so many miles in so little time!!!! Amazing machine!!! All I can do is watch videos of him racing it but I’ll bet it was magic to see him runnin!!!!!!
This is awesome love it.. Thanks fer posting.. Nothing beats old school Nascar
I like Petty is a legend 😊
Rick Petty and the heartbreakers
Sounds great it would be awesome to hear it in person. One day hopefully might get to hear one thanks.
How could you not love being around that garage:)
???? Definitely Cool
Ahh yes miss those days where the cars looked nicer and actually still looked more like the actual cars.
Amen brother! Amen!
My first race was in March 1987 at Darlington...so this car is one of my favorites. The King finished 3rd that day...maybe would have won if not for the rain.
THE KING IS WRIGHT BROTHER
I was at Darlington on throwback weekend for this years goodyear 400. It was my first race and I had so much fun I bought tickets for the upcoming cookout southern 500 as soon as I got home.
🎉🎉🎉🎉 HAPPY 84TH BIRTHDAY, "KING" RICHARD PETTY 🎉🎉🎉
God Bless
That iconic color scheme!! The one and only petty color scheme!
Love the stp paint so recognizable
I wish Petty would go back to this paint scheme.
I wish they would put the gun slinger Mike Skinner behind the wheel for Goodwood. His runs in a nascar truck was always awesome to watch.
I watched the car race at Riverside way back in 1988 when Rusty Wallace won the race. I was always a Richard Petty fan and I wanted this car so much it hurts to see it now.
One of my all time favorite Pontiac bodies
I was waiting for him to dump the clutch, you can hear the eagerness of the engine
Can you imagine setting up a car for Mr Petty?
The King
I worked for Dave Hammond who built engines for both him and then Kyle. Amazing place to be in randleman. The roads show you why these guys wanted to race so bad
I was hoping he would take it on down randleman rd there for a second.
Me too! At least for a little ways down Branson Mill Rd. There ain't a cop in Randolph County that would bat an eye at seeing that car going down the road 😁
Im surprised Petty Garage doesn't have their own little race track in the backyard to let these unwind from time to time...
Funny seeing everyday drivers sitting amongst all that history.
How is that Holly not leaking all over the place? I leave one over the winter in my boat and they always end up leaking.
at 7:05 reaching for the shifter where it really should be in a conventional car. Awesome!
The sound when that thing fired up was outstanding. I was imagining myself driving. Thank you.
The 2 + 2 was competitive. That car came close to winning at North Wilkesboro and Darlington.
Boys this is back when it was all about the racing…
Love these historical films. Thank you. History is only that if its preserved.
What a beauty. That body style is just amazing.
What’s the history behind that chassis?
I regularly watch Goodwood gonna be paying even more attention this year that car is a piece of art
Music video!!! Thank you!
EPA is going to love you guys!
i like the guitar strumming in the background
I remember all too well as a kid back in the 1970s don't really remember the racetrack but Dad took me to a race with them just the look in the style of Richard Petty and it caught my attention my dad was always a Richard Petty fan since the 1960s
Goosebumps....... Love the sound. Nascar muscle
What a cool piece of Nascar history, Sounds and looks wonderful.
Old and simple. The best way.
Great background music, very of its time
The legendary King 🤴
This was the car I grew up with love this car
Great video! Thanks for sharing.
Awesome dude wooooo love the sound of that beast
COOL CAR!!!!!!!FRIDAY NITE RIDE 😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆
That is awesome!!!!!!
When a car has power- it's pulsating
Beautiful Pony-ac!
These guys are highly respected and trusted
I realize that the races were mostly ovals back in the day but there's just something so right about a road course alignment on these cars.
I'd do this all day every day for free
LOVE IT!!!!
Pony-yak! Hope the King will be going to drive again over at Goodwood!
Wow that car needs to be let loose. I went the the Petty museum in 2006 and saw this car and many of his others. It's an awesome place you really have to see it.
That’s cool I don’t care who you are that sounds like a beast! Love the video and him taking a few rips I would have too!!
Ready for a rip around N. Wilkesboro!
The King
Carb tuning has become a lost art-form...
Miss the days of...throttle pump...throttle pump...slide choke out just a bit...hit the ignition...(c'mon baby)...do it! 👍
There is a British telephone box on the site 😎 Love the sound of that engine.
Great vid ! It would be nice if you could get Richard to do his own steering wheel wrap in black tape like he used to. After they went to removable steering wheels, sometimes i watched Richard setting on the pit wall, carefully wrapping his steering wheel in between practices or whenever,contented as can be.
Absolutely gorgeous. ❤
How many wins did Petty have in 1987. After all these years, it's good to see that the car is still struggling.
Great place to visit as an RP fan!
You might even bump into Dale Inman or the King himself!
Perfection
That car sound sweet
Amen, Men were Men & Stockcars were Real.
I love the sight and sounds of Richards old 43! Who’s going to drive this car at Goodwood?
I really like the plates they use for toe in. Probably check camber also.
You guys are very carefully about waking her up for the first time in 6 years that car got a spa treatment!
Love dem' slots!
Thought you were going to take it down Branson Mill Road like the old days 😂
I’m ready for this on iracing , I know it got scanned !! I’ll trade in the Buick for it
Very cool and great sounding and looking car for the king question is the carb the still full power Holley or the reduced 390 cfm in late 87 seasons after Bobby's crash in the Winston 500
Number 43 Stp Pontiac Grand Prix 2+2 Fastback Aero Coupe From 1986 NASCAR Winston Cup Series Thanks For Uploading
Oh wow, very cool!!!!👍👍43
My dream job!
This generation was the end of Stock Car Racing , and Richard was The King , my favorite driver . I miss Stock Car Racing . I think 1987 was the last year I watched .
2001 for me
Take that car to LeMans!!!!!!
I,like You channel,greetings from San José CA (408) .
Just out cruising around in the King's car.
What camera do use film with, quality is stunning!
Now that's cool!! Mechanics adjusting carburetors instead of punching buttons on a lap top... Nascar we want carburetors!!! How in the heck can you drive that thing with Richards steering wheel? He loved em close... Now we wanna see Richard do some donuts in the parkin' lot with that thang...😁
Real man car
I started watching as a young kid in 1980 this was the car I liked the best and then I saw the person get out of it 👈🏼‼️ it was that day RICHARD PETTY became my HERO ‼️‼️‼️ well fast forward to now ,,, I’m 53yrs young RICHARD PETTY is still my all time HERO AND I STILL WANT TO PUT THAT #43 race car in victory lane at DAYTONA ….WHAT ??? Who said because you age don’t mean that you still can’t have dreams ‼️I can whip a car though ..I was born with it ! Just wasn’t born with the $☹️
We need this on iracing
Did each variant of the GM 350 cubic inch engine (Chevrolet,Buick,Pontiac, Oldsmobile) use an actual block and heads from each division or did they all use the Chevrolet block and heads?
Kinda forgot how much more rounded the rear windows were on those 2+2s compared to the Aerocoupes.
When you ask these men if it’ll run, they just grin.
To me, the Pontiac Grand Prix 2+2 Aero Coupe is just as an important car as the 1970 Plymouth Super Bird.
Imagine living next door, I'd never the leave house!!
The 700hp race engine is out of it folks…that’s the 400hp “show car” engine.
Who else said "Gentlemen, start your engines!" when they fired it up?😊
SORRY. BUT i LOVE YOU BOYS! tHANK YOU!!
