THAT is what a stock car is supposed to be. End of discussion.
So true!!! 🏁🏁🏁
man so STOCK, right off the shelf! go have another think.

Agree, real men drove those cars. 😎
Take a moment to imagine that body, with a high-mount wing and aero-nose like found on the '69 Charger Daytona... and you have what Chrysler really intended that body to be like. What all the wing cars and their respective competition were being: Race cars built for the street. Too-bad restrictive rules, pushed by insurance companies threatening to pull track owner's coverage of several high-speed circuits, caused it never to materialize.
In this era cars had character. Today's cars all look the same.
I agree Dan!!
So true
@@1776_Garage 👍👍
I liked how they did in the 60s and 70s they were actually real cars and the manufacturers were competing with what they brought to the table.

Going 200 mph in that thing would be scary as all hell!
I agree Vince!! 🏁🏁
not to mention, hit the wall or anything else serious, and you WILL be dead😵💀. God bless the daredevils that too the challenge.
@@ThrottleResponse It would hurt
It says a lot about how brave and determined they were. I saw one of Richard's Daytona cars from the 70's, got to really look at it. I was comparing his roll cage/chassis against my current stockcar at the time. Was very surprised that I had way more bars and some of my tin work was as good as theirs. But yea, they were Brave to wheel these big ass cars 200mph.
Boy does that bring back child hood memories
I agree Randy
🏁🏁I was like a kid at a Candy Store when he started it up!!🏁🏁
The king drove some cool cars 👍🇺🇸
I agree 👍🏁🏁👍 43
Still does.
@@jimamccracken5783 👍👍
One of my favorite race cars and drivers of all time.
Same here!!!!!!
When the King retired I lost interest in the sport
Great video

@@plasticbutcher Pretty much the same with me Rick.
The king of lay back, let others blowup, then charge hard close to the end for the win.
@@whicker59 True 🏁🏁
Richard Petty and Big Daddy are truly Dodge people the best ever
So true Robert 👍🏁👍
I still have 5 Tyco Curve Hugger Petty/STP '73-'74 Dodge Charger slot cars!!! This is one of my Favorite Mopars he'd ever raced!!! I've been a Petty Fan since I saw him race that '70 Superbird!!! This Dodge Charger is his favorite race car of all time, and mine too!!! Mopar Nate, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Very cool Nate!!!! 🏁🏁
I've been a Richard Petty fan all my life, I even have 10 pairs of the sunglasses he wore in the '70s, Cool Roy Polaroid Roadmaster 300's, and his Charlie One Horse Hat, modeled after Mr.Petty Himself!!! Mopar Nate Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
@@nathanielwaters6730 Love it Nate, he is my favorite driver too!!!!!
Cool. Lifelong Petty fan here with a 74 Charger in the garage that proudly wears its 43 sticker.
@@LongIslandMopars Very cool!!! 👍🏁🏁👍43
So cool! I have a picture of the King and I standing in front of that very car.
Oh wow, very very cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 👍🏁👍🙂
I like the Ol Dixie sticker on the fuel cell.
Me too
Suprized that little piece of American history was still there in these disgusting days and times.
@@user-ev4pb9xj7e True
Amen
When Nascar Grand National was still predominantly SOUTHERN, and it waved high & proudly at EVERY NASCAR track.
If that doesn't give you goosebumps, nothin' will! Sooo cool😎😎😎
So true Doug!!!! 🏁🏁
Goosebumps when it turned over!!!!!
I agree!!!!! 👍🏁🏁👍 43
Richard Petty best ever.
I agree Charlie 🏁🏁
I remember Richard Petty saying the Dodge Charger was his favorite race car. It was certainly one of his most successful.
So true Daniel
Isn't this literally the most successful Nascar car ever?
Saw the car at Bowling Green last year and couldn't quit checking it out. Didn't get to hear it though. Thanks for posting!
Yes, it was a treat to see!! 🏁🏁
Coooool! A piece of history, and a great resource for us modelers. Thanks for posting this video!
Glad you enjoyed it! 👍🏁🏁👍
Agree! I'm building the model and I need better pics than the ones from last year's Hilton Head Concours. Thank you!
@@joelcheek3494 🏁🙂🏁
That's my car. Dad and I watched NASCAR in the 70s and were King Richard fans as well as Dodge people. In 1998 I found my dream, a mint 1974 Dodge Charger and own it to this day. It proudly wears its 43 stickers and license plate frame. Love live the 43 Charger!
Very very cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 👍🏁🏁👍
Super kool Tim, drivers actually had to drive those cars and this one is a legend!
So very true Karl 🏁🏁🏁
THE most iconic STP43 car ever. Growing up, I had so many models of this car.
So very true!!! 👍 🏁🏁 👍 43
i love the sound that lumpy Cam ..... I can smell the fuel from here in Seattle 🤣
Heck yea!!!!!! 👍🏁👍🙂
I remember those screaming around the high banks, back in the day, looking so much better than those Monte Carlos. Petty will always be "the King". No one else can surpass his dominance in that era.
Those were the good ol days!!!! 👍🏁🏁👍
Cool that you got to hear it run 😎👍
Oh yeah! 🏁🏁
It was saying, let me lose on the track one more time so I can stretch my legs and feel young again🥺
@@user-ev4pb9xj7e 👍🏁🏁👍
Can’t mistake that mopar starter sound
So true!!! 🏁🏁🏁
I was just thinking that! It doesnt matter what Dodge/Chrysler it is from the 60s into the 70s they all had that signature sound whether its a slant 6 or a monster hemi!
@@getoffenit7827 Yes they did!!!!
They sound like a dieing dolphin. Lol
@@1776_Garage 🤜🤛😉
Awesome looking car. Took awhile for it to turn over but when it did, sounded like heaven.😊
So true David 👍🏁🏁👍
It turned over instantly but didn't start initially
Radical classic racecar. ☮️💙
I agree! 👍🏁👍
For me, I prefer his 1972 Charger that I saw first, before the switchover to this body style, which is still nice! But the 72 ... Perfect
The '72 was nice 🏁
If you look at the attention to detail on Petty’s cars you can see why he was so successful. A lot of the old cars looked not amateurish but short cuts were taken. Petty’s cars were first class and almost always finished. Dale Inman was a great crew chief and builder as was Petty. Attention to details was one of their advantages.
So very true! 👍🏁👍
Super Cool! Looks like that has a single brake master cylinder, one line blows no brakes fo you.. That sounded awesome.. Thanks for the walk around Tim!
So true Kreg 🏁🏁
Nice looking piece of history. Thanks for sharing.
I agree!!! 🏁🏁
Wasn't that body run up until the '78 season, under rules that allowed use of bodies of a model-year up to three years old to run in a respective season? I recall it well because Petty stayed with Dodge through the '78 season, after which Dodge presented him with the "aerodynamically improved" replacement for the now boxy, luxury-oriented Charger: The Magnum... which Petty said "...Had the aerodynamics of a cinder block!" and forced him to run with Oldsmobile for '79, running the 2-y/o Cutlass 442 body, which had some of the best aerodynamics had for a safety-bumper "whale-bodied" car.
I think your right
This really shows how the STP red really isn't red at all. Great video.
So true Robby
Really one of the first uses of the “glow” florescent colors in racing. In contrast to the famous Petty blue, they wanted the STP red car to be easily identifiable to fans on television coverage, as well as at the track. On television coverage particularly, this light blue and glow red paint scheme jumped out of the screen.
@@tennesseesmoky9012 I think so too
Think STP wanted Richard to paint his cars all red but he protested to keep the blue and this was the compromise. Awesome scheme and the best looking car on the track back in the day. 😎
@@thud9797 Best car period.
That start brought back many memories. Pattin the gas, spin it, hear the that dodge starter. And then sayn" almost" . 😊 LOVE IT.
I agree!!!!! 🏁🏁
My favorite NASCAR racer and car when I was a child.
Cool, mine too!
My all-time favorite NASCAR car is the 1977 Dodge Charger by Richard Petty, total bada$$ car
I agree!! 👍🏁🏁👍
THROTTLE POWER👀 I have pictures of this car at Daytona on the pole with
Petty and Person in 1974, it was the only Daytona 450 this race was 10% less laps due to the Energy Crisis in 1973, that was the beginning of the oil embargo!Ha Ha, I wonder if we only knew what was to come! Gas prices were pennies a gallon now it’s dollars per gallon! Remember the gas pumps that only went up to 99.9⛽️cents per gallon! Never again, at least we got to have another round of Muscle Cars starting with the 05 GT Mustang and even that is over now with no more Camaro and the Challenger is even going EV. Hold on to your older vehicles, I still have my 73Bronco I’ve owned for 5 decades! This truck will outlive me! My son is the new owner.🏁Pcat
So true, it really was the start of the Energy Crisis in '73 ..... Interesting that you have a '73 Bronco that your son will get some day. Because I have a '73 Challenger that my son will get some day.
@@THROTTLEPOWER I already rebuilt the Bronco in1985 with a fiberglass body and it weighs 2600 lbs about half the original weight and was my HotRod for many years till I bought my 09 Mustang GT/CS, it’s still in great condition and is now in good hands with my son. We have plans to put a coyote in it but it has a 302 from a 68 Cougar in it. This engine was bought in a junkyard in Flagler at A-1 salvage in 1983 and is still running in the truck. My son has left Legacy racing for a better opportunity in the truck series and today is his first race as a professional pit crew member on the #32 truck driven by Bret Holmes at North Wilkesboro . He was looking for advancement at legacy but after 2 years with the King he wanted to be on the road going to the tracks and he got an opportunity to do just that! But not with legacy, he got to know Richard Petty as the king would come into the shop every week to see everyone and just last week he got to hang out with him when he detailed a new Supra for a photo shoot and the photographer took a few pictures of him and the king together, He has some great memories of his time there and is grateful for it. But he moved on to his own goals in life! 🏁Pcat
@@THROTTLEPOWER tell me about your Challenger!
That is so cool! Thank you, Tim!👍
I agree!!!! 🏁🏁🏁

One more comment “Throttle Power” cool ass name, I cain’t believe the number “43” is on a damn Toyota! I wish Adam Petty was still alive to race and take over his grandfather’s number. This is a awesome video, I view it all the time.
Thank you so much for the kind words Tony!!!!!! 🏁🏁

To hear that car start. It's right up there with the Porsche 917-K,Ferrari 512,Porsche 962,Ford Cobra Daytona Coupe. The P-51 Mustang,Mitsubishi Zero F-16,F-15 and F-22 Raptor. And Mad Max!!!!

I owned two Chargers a 74 SE with the 400 and a 72 that had built up 318 with J model heads aluminum intake headers and TRW forged pistons.
It was a manual steering, brakes and A833 four speed.
Nice. I have a bone stock 74 with a 318 and 49k miles.
Very cool Gary
@@LongIslandMopars Nice! 👍
Hard starting cause they hate to be shut off! ✌🏼

Be nice to see Richard Petty behind the wheel of this car 😊
That would be cool! 👍🏁
I have been around for a long time and a car guy since I was a kid. Absolutely nothing sounds like an American big block V8. Glorious.
So true!! 🏁🏁
I thought Nascar ran small blocks
@@1776_Garage I think back in those days they were big block until they began phasing them out in the mid 70s. I could be wrong though.
@@koneill1771 Ok. Thanks. I didn't know. Wasn't trying to be a butt.
@@koneill1771 True
I have always loved the coke bottle Dodges and Plymouths of the early 70’s
I agree 🏁🏁
Still think this was one of the best looking cars on the track back in the day. I had one of the old MPC kits of it and still have an old Polar Lights kit somewhere of it. One of my favorites along with Dale Earnhardt. Bruce in Wv!!!
I agree Bruce!!! 🏁🏁🏁
That is sweet brother!!!
I agree!!!! 🏁🏁
Had a '73 and a '74 Charger street version back in the day ❤ The King's 43 wants the carbon burned out- not just sitting idling!
Right on!!!!! 🏁🏁🏁
badass dou that was kool 😁🤩😎👍👍
I think so too!!!! 🏁🏁🏁
The motor in this car proves that the Hemi was not a necessity for Mopar to be a force in Nascar. The Wedge, with the improvements the Ford’s 427 saw would have been just as competitive. The Hemi could not take the rpm’s of a Wedge motor nor was it a viable street motor in comparison. The motor in this car sitting in the 64 Plymouth of the Petty’s would have been fast enough to run with the Fords of the time and made for a better handling car.
I agree Dale 👍🏁🏁👍
My favorite Car in the whole world ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
It's definitely cool Jim!!! 👍🏁🏁👍
Mine too, and its parked in my garage. 74 Charger with a 318 and 49k miles.
