Every September we would wait to see the new cars. Spotting one now & then till we could watch this race. See them in action. Much speculation till then. In 1964 it just kept coming. Cars & trucks took giant leaps in reliability & power. There was the Mustang & this guy, Carol Shelby. Then the Beatles showed up. Great year...

@@sludge4125 Production Studebaker Avanti R3 ran 170.something in late 1962. By 1969, Dodge Charger Daytona Hemi had run 199.something. You are delusional if you truly think the pedestrian 164 OHV flat six Corvair or 225 OHV slant six Valiant could run 160 in a production body without a lot of boost.

Some good shots of the engine compartment and the way the fancy air cleaner got air from the opening in the firewall. They used to use the clutch and bell housing to compress air and feed it up through the firewall and into the air cleaner and supercharge the engine. Sometime after this NASCAR made them stop but for a number of years they just 'turned a blind eye' to the practice.

@Mr3903ce: Please tell me that you're not this ignorant? All the crying started in 1964 by the little girls at chrysler (now FIAT). In 1964 Ford built the 427 SOHC Hemi "Cammer" to compete in NASCAR. The little girls at chrysler cried to France which prompted him to amend the rule book, and ban the Ford 427 Cammer, never allowing it to run in NASCAR. The little girls at chrysler knew that their 426 was no match for the Ford 427 Cammer. Actually quite sad! It would have been exciting to see the Ford 427 Cammer's smoke the chrysler "FIAT" 426's on the oval.

@Michael Myers Nobody is ever.. ever. Gonna top the King for wins in nascar But what you have to remember is the era's that they raced in. With the king it was the super speedway factory backed era of the 60s and early 70s there were alot of shorter less than 300 mile races then and even more events. But when the factories went away and R J Reynolds came on board all of those short races went away and then the modern era started. In no way will I ever think less of Richard Petty, He has always been My favorite sports hero and pretty much all the races that he won were in both the super speedway era and in the modern era. Nor do I ever think any less of the Intimidator Dale Earnhardt sr who was from that modern era. There was always something that was very old school about Dale Earnhardt sr, Of that generation if it wasn't Earnhardt, It was Darrell Waltrip, IF it wasn't Waltrip it was Rusty Wallace these were some of the great nascar drivers of that old school mentality that some folks miss. Trust me I could be here all night talking about greatest nascar drivers but when it all is said and done. It's still Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt sr!
