AWESOME CAR! One of my all time favorites! I had a 70 V-code Roadrunner for 9+ years. 440 6bbl, 4 speed then a Passon 5 speed w/4.10 Dana, 292/.509 cam, headers...what a RIDE!

[@Russeljfinch]

How he spins it to 8300 is amazing….would have been interested in the bottom end

[@gaffojones]

Coolest race car on the planet and Darcy is a great guy! Thanks again, Bobby.

[@billclisham8668]

I'd have to give that honor to Ben & Dave Wenzel for the coolest race car on the planet but Darcy's ride is definitely a cool ride!

[@user-wc7ns4mu9v]

Chris from small town Saskatchewan. Amazing car.

[@mikelafontaine3560]

Darcy is cool! Like his attitude, and what beautiful Mopar!

[@peniscaughtinzipper]

I'm also from alberta and working on a 64 savoy. Small world. This guy seems awesome

[@805gregg]

I owned one of these and drove it on the street, it would not burn rubber it just launched, fastest car on the street, at a signal I would pull into the parking lane and by the the intersection I would pull over into the slow lane because I was that far ahead

[@BobSakamoto]

Beautiful car, and very impressed with the build. It is a very important car in history and his changes to make it legal were done very well.

[@rickcamacho9588]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I LOVE MAX WEDGE MOPARS!!! SO BEAUTIFUL AND THANKS FOR SHARING!!!

[@driverinterviews]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@izzynutz2000]

I had a 64 Plymouth Belvedere four-door with a 426 Max wedge and a 4-speed it was a special order car the man that owned it work for a Chrysler Plymouth dealer in the town that I lived in. And when he passed away his wife drove it until she was no longer able to and I bought the vehicle from her and I'm here to tell you it was faster than a fury and would pass everything but a gas station I eventually sold the vehicle to a gentleman that still has it today and that was 30 years ago

[@driverinterviews]

[@jhimmelberger5371]

Bobby, didn't the factory race cars have a plaque or sticker around the glovebox that stated, Off road use only" ? ... Great video! I love the old Fury's, Belvidere's and Polara's.

[@driverinterviews]

Good question. Darcy may be able to answer that one.

[@RedDoorRacing]

They had a sticker that was on the windshield as well, I have all the stickers I have not put them on.

[@richardpenner4686]

[@jamesevans1560]

[@nickeldime309]

"So what do you do for work?" Blah blah blah... I'm loaded!! Lol, big money cars and beautiful art that

[@RedDoorRacing]

I am far from loaded, I have worked 40 years to be able to afford to build and race these cars.

[@maxwedgedickdasterdly5586]

B MOPAR BADEST MOTOR ON THE PLANET REVS LIKE A SMALL BLOCK IN FACT IN SOME VERSIONS IS LIGHTER ROTATING ASSEMBLY THEN A SMALL BLOCK . SHORT STROKE B MOTOR BAD TO THE BONE

[@driverinterviews]

Wow interesting to know.

[@RedDoorRacing]

This engine is an RB engine not a B engine and my Bob weight is not even close to what a small block would be.
