I went to his house when I was very, very young but remember it still. That was almost 50 years ago now. He wasn't famous world wide then like he is now but it was still amazing getting to go see him sitting on the front porch talking to fans like they were his family. He's a big part of why NASCAR became as big as it did. He was there at the beginning.

Many MANY years ago I called Petty Enterprises and bugged them to death until I got to talk to Richard Petty it took about 15 phone calls LOL anyway I had a 70 440 Roadrunner and I needed to lose half a second in the quarter mile I could not seem to do it. He said send us your intake and cylinder heads so I did got them back in about three weeks. And what do you know I went from 11.30s in the quarter mile to 10.70s! They did some porting and raised the floor of the exhaust ports in the heads all for just a few hundred dollars man they knew their stuff but of course they are professionals and truly good people.

@bobbypaluga43466 жыл бұрын
Beautiful collection, I hope provisions are made keep the collection together. When the Reno car collection was broken up the shops shut down it was a very sad day. I love those brakes on the Petty Mustang. My brother had a perfect ''64 Mustang, he kept it in pristine condition but the jackass smelled a new F -250 smell and traded it in. I'm sure an hour later when the truck got a scape, flat tire, or the new truck smell faded away, he raced to the Ford dealer to be told that the owner bought his Mustang, 10 minutes after he sold it. I was 2 or 3 at the time, or I would have tackled him had he tried to pull the stunt. Our brother in law's dad owned a storage locker place and collected classic fire engines. He told my brother that he could have it wrapped, oil and gas drained, tires off and store it for as long as he wanted when it was clear that a '64 was going to be a collectible, but he stalled and stalled until on impulse he sold it. Today the price of a cherry '64 that is original is off the charts, you can't find one. The Petty Mustang looks more than an early Dodge muscle car that you couldn't give away in the mid-70's will gas shortages and 55 mph limits. I like it, but simple elegance has made Apple the biggest tech company n the world. Simple elegance is another name for the early Mustang.
