Who r u

[@BobbyGRichardson]

I was working part-time during my second semester during my senior year of high school, in 1970. And I bought my first car. It was a beautiful Blue Plymouth, Roadrunner, with a sweet sounding 383, with dual exhaust and a 4 speed stick shift, bench seat (with chrome reverse rims, a wide black stripe along the bottom {front to rear} and black {fake} air grabbers on the hood). I loved that car. And it would eat up 327’s, 351’s and 396’s in the quarter mile. But a 1969 SuperBee with a 383 and an automatic transmission beat me by about a half a car length, one night.

[@rascaliwmc]

Yes, I agree w/ you 100%! I'm 63.7 now & last I was really into NASCAR, was around '95 w/Jeff Gordon racing. I know, even his car was 'fake', but even then, all cars limited w/restriction plates, were not real 'bought off the showroom cars' & converted for racing. Now, one piece shells where every sponsor takes up every square inch of paint. I'll catch some of those old races from 70-74 & really see the difference in racing. SUPER skills back then, whereas today, it's like watching a video game. Why I lost interest.

Okay, I'm a youngster of 'only' 54 but I agree too, by the end of the 70's NASCAR was wondering to far away from the cars on the roads and by the late 80's I wasn't watching much any more. At least YT has plenty of real NASCAR, NHRA/IHRA/AHRA, SCCA, and even Can-Am and Group B Rally races to see when real men with real skills raced real cars.

[@AndrewNeilBaird]

In 1974 when I was 12 , the most boring family holiday in the Scottish Highlands suddenly became a lifelong memory . Coming down on the Glenshee ski centre chair lift , the wild howling bark of a vehicle became louder and louder. Heading north from the "devils elbow" a (what I now know to be a Plymouth Roadrunner) white , huge , winged beast , unsilenced , driven with hostility and skill , blasting past 50horsepower British cars with a thunderstorm roar , expertly heel and toes under the brakes . If you think one of these is impressive in an oval , driven flat out through a Scottish glen it's just spine tingling. Like a baby chicken I was imprinted that day , 10 years later I saw the car and followed it (just in my GTI) for 25 miles to a farmhouse near Inverness. Had a chat with the driver who once was a famous racing driver . He liked the sound too , but was a bit deaf from his racing days . JYS

I'm doing my best to imagine it. I'm in Australia so maybe once every few months you'd see a 60s Mustang and a mid 50s Chevy, but you won't see a genuine Superbird or anything of the likes in your lifetime here. In my 28 years of existence, the rarest American Muscle I've seen close to this was a 68 Charger. And even then I've only seen 2. Absolutely love the smile in his face as he cruises down the road but.

Who was the driver?

[@That_Stanced_Toyota]

@@joshthomas2536here in Oregon we see everything from 400 horse civics to Bugatti’s and lambo’s and rari’s. And in there, between that gap. Theres 40’s to 80’s muscle cars and trucks that are absolute rippers making 380-1,500 horse. My favorite car in the area would have to be this sky blue 72-74 crager nova that I’ve only seen flying by me or through intersections. I’m going to the night of fire tonight at the woodburn drag strip and hope he tracks the car so I can see it. There’s two superbirds and some dusters that roll around as well.

[@rascaliwmc]

One of a few reasons I don't watch NASCAR any more. One piece plastic bodies, same mechanicals, so generic. That along w/ the 'small things', like not seeing the AMERICAN flag a.k.a., 'Stars & Bars' , flying around here & there. Racing then, was RIVALRY, not ruled by over regulation, rules & political correctness. Now, maybe on occasion, I'll catch the 1st 15 min of the Daytona 500, or Talladega 500. Then lose interest fast.

[@mutleymutley7474]

@@rascaliwmc I agree with your sentiments. My brother and I were season ticket holders to Daytona, Dover and Pocono. We had our tickets for over 35 years. The old tickets were good enough to visit the pit stop area without special passes. Over the years, we met the old great drivers. Then NASCAR took away pit stop visits unless you had a special pass for an extra dollar. Then NASCAR made more changes we did not like; aka, restrictor plates, cookie cutter cars, banning flags, adding social justice, DEI and other liberal crap. We cancelled our tickets. It was no longer fun to go to the races. He still watches the races on TV from time to time, but I don't. And to add insult to injury, NASCAR is experimenting with electric cars now or as I prefer to call them, robots. If that comes through, the track is going to sound like a baby's room. Good luck that!

[@logansylvester8093]

They are not even mustangs and Camaros anymore. They are all pretty much the same car underneath the shell

[@ricklong3218]

All the same. Only the stickers and engine brands are different

[@ARG0T]

The Superbirds and Daytonas were gone long before the Mustangs and Camaros

[@roguewarr4662]

@@ARG0T It was just a metaphor for the racing us older guys miss ,can't seem to wrap around this cluster F racing format .That (they say is better to watch) .

That car is a Beast. Sounds like a symphony of days gone by . Glad you guys got her out of that museum.

Wow, how COOL!! I remember that car from television when I was 12 years old. It was the most astounding stock car ever, and possibly the most beautiful American race car ever. Thanks!

[@Joe-ve4ii]

Look at the smile on Kyle's face!! This is the car that made me a Nascar fan when I was 8 years old! I'm from the NYC area and on Saturdays I would watch the CBS Sports Spectacular and when they showed parts of a nascar race, I saw the Superbird, the 43 and Richard and I was hooked! A Richard Petty fan till he retired and still enjoy watching him anytime he's on TV. I have always felt the Superbird was the meanest looking race car ever made. Any chance to see this car moving is exciting! The last several years Kyle has taken a big turn in life spending more time on TV appreciating his Father and it has made for excellent TV. I wish Kyle would race the car somewhere in America rather than England.. Back in the 90s, Saturday nights I used to go to a car show/hangout at Marcus Dairy in Danbury Connecticut and there were 2-3 beautiful Superbirds and 1-2 Dodge Daytona's. I loved seeing those cars the most. The most Iconic American Race Car!

[@davidwalker1763]

Thanks for the ride Kyle!!!

[@DavidClark-vu3dw]

Man oh man that's a beautiful thing!

[@CsMustang1]

I wasn’t even born when this beast used to race! But seeing Kyle’s smile every time he pushes the throttle gives me life! That amazing sound: raw, pure, sublime, is the best time travel experience anyone could ever ask for. I really envy you guys who had the blessing of watching this animals racing back in those days. I absolutely love speed and engines and this is just iconic , is perfect, is a legacy and such a heartwarming piece of history. Thanks for this 🥹💪🏼

[@rockypatton6259]

Seeing the smiles on Kyle’s face shows how much it means to him. It’s a good thing to get to go back in time.

[@flyingo]

I grew up watching Cale & Leroy Yarbrough, Richard Petty, A. J. Foyt, Ned Jarret, Bobby & Davey Allison, Darrel Waltrip, Rusty Wallace, Dale Earnhardt and SO many more giants of NASCAR. The sound of that Plymouth takes me back to those times instantly.

[@todd8109]

I remember Richard from back in the 70’s as a child. Everyone loved him so much and still do today as well as his family

[@htdriver2012]

Awesome video. That car sound is music to the ears!!!! Great to see Kyle behind the wheel.

[@user-if8nz2yo5n]

Oops! The wheel doesn't come off. I loved that moment! Proves without a doubt you raced for a living, driving in one of the greatest eras. Hey! You didn't stall it! Loved watching you drive it! Thanks for bringing us along, Kyle !! 🏁

[@barrysims9906]

Kyle, I thank you for a ride along in such an iconic car.

[@GenX...MCMLXV]

1st car I ever rode in over 100mph was a 71 Superbird The guy who took me for that ride back in 77 still has the car as far as I know. I was hooked. The sound, feel , smell, going 120 mph is still etched in my mind.Those birds were bitchin

[@oldhorse4171]

Soon as that engine roared to life I could smell the exhaust!!!!

[@danielvick7875]

Simply just off the chain incredible at 61 years old it's still brought tears to my eyes! Just wishing of Dreams to have been in that seat! A legend always

[@Jim-cu3sh]

This is fantastic. My one time in NASCAR pits and pit road was at time trials for the 1970 World 600. My father got pit passes from a radio station friend. I stood by this car and got The King's autograph in the program, and many, many other drivers that day. Unfortunately no pictures were taken but I still have the program.

[@artroraback8663]

It is so good to see this car as it brings back a lot of memories. Even better that you and your dad can still enjoy it.
