1966 - 1972 Historic Trans-AM Cars - Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion

[@79tazman]

I just love this Era of racing Drag Racing,Trans Am Racing and Nascar Racing you don't get any better then the 60's to the early 70's

[@jerrylarson723]

Here here. The Best

[@UndisputedDelta267]

0:06 this might be the best sound in the history of mankind.

[@skateusa]

This is amazing! I was a Mark Donahue (I hope I spelled it right) fan when I was a kid and that brought me to Trans Am racing where I just got hooked on these cars. Over the years it may have become faster, but It doesn't get any better to watch than this era as I'm concerned. I'm glad to see that the current guardians of these race them hard while, at the same time, keeping them safe. Thank you guys for this. :)

[@sacooper802]

thanks for posting this motor trend, a great asset to the car enthusiast community.

[@MotorTrendWatch]

Thanks for watching!

[@ardyshane23]

Vintage racing is the best racing anymore. Got to love it.

[@matthewhigashyama3316]

came to this to celebrate my 21st birthday with my dad. one of the best weekends ever especially hearing old ferrari v12s accelerate out of the corkscrew

[@KootBear]

that GTO looks soooo badass!

[@genemounceSr]

Thanks SVRA and others for keeping this stuff alive .

[@buckorooster]

I watched some of these cars (#2 Javelin, grey Z28, #16 Boss, Black n' gold Mustang, Sunoco Camaro, Falcon) at Lime Rock Historics and they were Awesome! I went on the bridge and looked down as the cars passed under and I will never forget that.

[@gremmann]

And the Javelin wins the race..ho hum....gotta love these guys. The rarest car out there, hardest to find parts for, wins the race. Bet your ass if one of the Mustangs would have won it would have been.."WOW, AND THE MUSTANG WINS". shouting from the roof top, confetti flying, parades.

[@jasonmcmillan4373]

gremmann If you have a look at the overall picture, more or less, the '71 Champions (AMC) won here, followed by the '70 Champions (Mustang) followed by the '69 winners (Camaro). There's nothing surprising here, the cars were developed into a faster and faster package with every year of the Trans Am, makes sense that an AMC won since they were the fastest ones back in the day when Trans Am came to a close.

[@gremmann]

I know that. My comment was more on the lack of enthusiasm by the announcers. If a Mustang or Camaro would have won, they would have popped open the champagne...so to speak.

[@beyond_the_infinite2098]

gremmann As you said, the AMC Javelins were a cinderella story from Rambler to Trans- Am Champion. Of course I'm biased cause I had a 63 Rambler and then a 70 AMX. The announcers could have told a rich story on AMC Racing and Donohue/Penske - but they sucked.

[@swsephy]

This is now my favorite KZbin video.

[@Oscarphone]

The #13 Smokey Yunick Camaro that Cammie Eldelbrock is racing at this event was "lost" for decades. Nobody was sure what happened to it. It was found stuck in a snow bank back east somewhere and the Edelbrock folks brought it back to what you see here. Apparently it was in pretty tough shape at the time.

[@martinhill9262]

[@alejandroledesma905]

That front splitter on the javelin makes a huge difference

[@coolguy5772]

0:05-0:31 This is so hypnotic to watch

[@mightymanntor8333]

its so beautiful I could cry

[@BullettGuy]

Video/Audio is superb. Thanks!!

[@allusernamestaken01]

That Javelin rumbles.

[@TheChronicRhythm]

this type of racing is so good I didn't go ADD in the middle of the video

[@robertpoudrette4483]

Love them all but there's something about that red white and blue Javelin! Is it the underdog image? I just don't know but it brought a solid grin to my face looking at it leading... I'm a Camaro guy myself but ALL these cars were soooo cool! Love the silver GTO!

[@VRJensen1]

Now this Is a Race! Thanks So Much!

[@rgb8289]

If this was how racing looked today, I'd watch and attend. This feels like racing.

[@SpyderRios]

Awesome cars, great to see one of my favorite racecars the yellow Boss 302 :)

[@9freelandk]

Neighbours gotta love me up at midnight watching this.

[@Dethmeister]

I kept meaning to watch the other video but that 4 hour play time was too daunting. Thanks for the uploads.

[@sonofkikkoman]

I do like The sound of the engines roaring but I can't hear a thing these guys are saying when those things start to roar.

[@Hole_Motorsports]

you don't need to

[@chefdan87]

That is the point.

[@samsonian]

I agree, this one gets an enthusiastic a+++ for eye candy and the exact opposite grade for sound mixing.

[@wiih8ubob]

Yeah, that's what happens when the audio mix is off. You should always be able to hear the commentators

[@Hole_Motorsports]

Don Johnson no commentators just engines.

[@1SECRETBILLY]

Well done Motor Trend

[@seanhayes1965]

What a great race to watch. I have to say, this is the first time I've seen a Javelin lead in anything however.

[@aussi3212]

such a mint field of cars, mustangs , mercurys, cameros,firebirds,challangers,amxs, all so mint

[@Nick68S]

Awesome sounds

[@mensoracing8112]

i like that grey ghost

[@beyond_the_infinite2098]

1968 - 69 Trans-Am Championship 1st Chevrolet Camaro / Mark Dohonue / Roger Penske Racing 1970 1st Ford Mustang / Parnelli Jones / Bud Moore Racing 2nd AMC Javelin / Mark Donohue / Roger Penske Racing 1971 1st AMC Javelin / Mark Donohue / Roger Penske Racing 1972 1st AMC Javelin / Roy Woods / Roy Woods Racing

[@Trucker1957]

What an exciting race! This video is the best historic Trans AM race that I've watched. It's the closest to the original series. I was fortunate to attend a Trans AM race in 1969 at the age of 12 at Bryar Motorsports Park in Loudon N.H it was the most thrilling day of my life. I remember rooting for Parnelli Jones in his Boss 302 Mustang.

[@Eric06410]

More of this!!!!

[@alexrex20]

can't hear the commentators but oh well

[@MadDogDucati]

AMC Really had a run in the late 60's, early 70's! Not just Trans-Am either. Almost bought a Rebel, but Uncle Sam came knocking!

[@andxx0r_the_second671]

Yeah! AMC!

[@bohemianracer]

I love the old trans am cars. seems to me that the javelin always wins.

[@randyjones7818]

Pretty place and track..gotta take a car out there Rj

[@diethersantos6404]

I love Laguna Seca my favorite track :D

[@joedaboss7]

a little sad there was no coverage of the lime green challenger

[@NicErdman]

You can actually hear the cars now! Can't hear the announcers, but I'll survive. :)

[@TheFokker03]

Thanks for the upload,guys.In these trying times,it's nice to put viruses on the back burner.From across the pond,stay safe people.

[@enigmaPL]

I want to give it a thumbs up, but the Likes are at 420... SO I'm tempted to leave it as is. :) Great stuff though. This and late 80's touring cars were just the best forms of racing. Maybe throw in some rally too.

[@78tranzamman43]

too late

[@moefitzgerald4439]

those V8's are so loud its hard to hear the announcers xD

[@mickwrinkles2318]

Even more epic!

[@slhines7]

Awesome!

[@Conhemi]

seem to say alot about the mustangs, AMC all the way

[@freds650]

Just saw some of these at Watkins glen

[@josephmclennan1229]

Did the 65 Falcon turn into a 66 year car?

[@84PatSch]

@1:22 fucking great!!!

[@billkaldem1737]

To me it’s like the Javelin was playing with the others. Ran off and left em when it needed ti

[@Dat1214]

this is more enjoyable then I thought it would be

[@audiwankenobi361]

of course this video would have the most views...

[@DJFiTRemixes]

wow, "the grey ghost"

[@picax8398]

god i would love to stand right beside pit lane when these beasts fly past at full tilt

[@civicsr2cool]

car porn at its finest

[@zackeryzelmer9110]

who likes the drag week

[@sounder11]

me

[@zackeryzelmer9110]

Isn't it great

[@Howllowheat]

Geese the v8s are so dam loud I can't even hear the commentary

[@THEgameDeity]

Just how I like it.~

[@boomurdead923]

how its supposed to be

[@SVPSkins]

Thats well over 113db's XD

[@xarnoldx10]

If a race car isn't at least 130-140db at high revs your doing something wrong lol

[@SVPSkins]

xarnoldx10 The Tracks noise limit is meant to be 113db's

[@seantaylor2683]

the noise limit at Laguna Seca is 92 db's

[@xarnoldx10]

Which is it 113 or 92 haha

[@SVPSkins]

xarnoldx10 I'm confused now as well.

[@billkaldem1737]

The reason I bought a 73 AMX

[@FYMASMD]

No Mopars!! No problem. 😃. What about the comet? Much more fun than NASCAR. Doesn't touch rally b though.

[@wishbone8275]

the old cars looked better..even tho im only 24 never experienced the 60/70's cars ;/ driving one

[@lordming9301]

you can find them around. just gotta find an owner willing to part ways for a low price

[@philipbrodermann6867]

One of the commentators sounds like Howard Stern.

[@ganners09]

That start was audio porn!

[@ricklarner9263]

GO CHAD!!!!

[@Prodriver33]

Doesn’t sound as good as the four boxer but sounds good. More like an old Porsche than a Subaru but other sounds than Subaru sound good too.

[@Trucker1957]

I see people getting into E -Car racing now, I can't believe they call that auto racing. They need to come here to see what a race car should be.

[@missiontwa8340]

Cars just don't race like they used too.

[@chop0072]

Sixth

[@emperoraziir8116]

first.

[@MrGrasgruen]

I'm just gonna inform you that I am second.

[@deerepower337]

That first car looks like crap zero class
