Richard Petty's 200mph Plymouth Superbird On The Road

[@johnnymossville]

An unrestricted Mopar Hemi is one of human's greatest sound inventions. If you ever get a chance to hear one in person, do it.

[@michaelhunt9435]

Well..speaking from experience actually..with a win at pomona drag strip..class champion and all..Pontiac of course..u scant beat those dodges..sounds like a rail like a Keith. Black engine

I met him at Lee USA speedway In New Hampshire USA. He is a class act. A young lady wanted a picture of him but was holding a small child and having trouble taking the picture. He reached out and took the baby in his arms so the lady could take the picture. Now they have a picture of him holding her baby. That was Back in 1991.

Well, I guess they just let Richard Petty do whatever the hell he wants to do down there in North Carolina. God bless him.

A car so good that NASCAR had to outlaw it to beat it.

[@JerseyMikeP]

Actually the Hemi was Half the reason it was banned. The Hemi is the ONLY engine Banned in Every style of racing at one point or another...which is why it a legend. 1952 the A311 331 ci Hemi was blowing away the fastest Indycars away (track records) that they complained and had the displacement regulations lowered for the hemi and other pushrod engines. Ford did the same for the Hemi in Nascar and superspeedways in 1971. The Father of the Funny car,....the Mopar altered wheeled cars were Banned from running in NHRA in 1965 and moved to IHRA racing. Funny thing is that Cummins....associated with MOPAR since 1989, also was a first at INDY with being the first HiPo diesel powered race car....back in they 1950s. They never had to stop for fuel, only tires. 40 yrs later Audi Diesels got into racing...and it was a big deal, LMFAO.

[@davidthayer6969]

nonsense, the superbird was NEVER outlawed and the HEMI was not either......geeze the Hemi won a ton of races between 1966 and about 1974........NASCAR limited all 5 aerocars, the superbird, daytona, torino talladega and mercury cyclone and the charger 500 to a 305 inch engine after 1970.......NO individual car was outlawed.

[@Loulovesspeed]

@silverbird58 - I was told that the advantage Elliot had was the soft cylinder head material developed by Ernie , Bill's brother, which allowed a higher compression ratio. Everyone thought Bill must be cheating after winning so many races, but it was all legal!

​@kingduckford the reason for OHC is because of displacement regulations in many countries, forcing them to make more power with less displacement. Cam in block engines are still everywhere in America. The beauty of a cam in block design is that it's very compact. My LS7 (7.0l) is smaller and lighter than a BMW S65 (4.0l). It also makes a lot more horsepower.

Just got done listening to this on 5.1 headsets. OMG....That engine.....sounds.....like ....WAR! 45+ years old, designed and built without a single computer and kept in tune all this time without a single laptop. I'd love to see it take a few laps on modern tires at Talledega or Daytona during practice time at an event, I wonder how it's lap times would compare to what they're running now. Also, what an awesome neighborhood he must live in. If I tried anything even remotely similar to this I would be swarmed by cops in under 3 mins lol.

For the record, I'm using my wife's account. I had the privilege of growing up in Charlotte, NC during the 60's and 70's and with my NASCAR fan dad. My dad took us on 4 "camping trips" a year to the infields of Charlotte Motor Speedway and North Carolina Motor Speedway in Rockingham to watch the races from a platform built on the top of an old IH Metro van. I got to see 6 races with the winged cars (2 in October 1969 with the Charger Daytonas and 4 in 1970 with the Superbirds and Daytonas). They were definitely sights and sounds I will never forget. I watch NASCAR today and long for the days when the cars were actually stock and the drivers had personalities.

Priceless would be the right word.

[@christophermurphy7481]

We could give similar compliments to the 1969 Ford Torino Talladega with the 429 Boss engine, too.

[@theradchase3094]

It aint about how many gears its about rear end gears

[@chrispappas3750]

Who else thinks Plymouth made the Superbird to get Petty back from Ford?

[@automan224]

Chris Pappas you’re on the money, that’s literally the reason Plymouth made it

[@marksmith6091]

Petty has said in interviews that is what happened....

[@addiumuppicus5738]

@silverbird58 , 428 side oilers either . . .Oh my !

[@NeedForSpeed.2004]

That was what they wanted

[@sadwingsraging3044]

Look up an article entitled Wings of a White Dodge.

[@Avalanche1368]

I NEED that car for my morning commute!

[@bryantyoung7197]

This is what a "daily driver" is supposed to sound like.

[@whogavehimafork]

My bank account suggests otherwise 🥲

[@patrickhayden1977]

The sound of a full on race Hemi -- awesome!!!!

[@jessewitt1481]

That had a beautiful sound

[@christophermurphy7481]

American thunder!

[@stratos941]

Description - "the star of Disney Pixar's Cars" Bitch please. The King and his car was a star years before Cars was even dreamt of

[@TheGamingNorwegian]

Do you want his legacy to continue to live with the current generation of kids or not? If he werent in Disney Pixar cars, kids would already be saying "who?" when his name was mentioned...

[@gzuzsavz]

The best audio on youtube. period. & the metal eye candy/art is tops, as well. Jeepers..must be what the Normandy Invasion sounded like.

[@ShadeTreeKennyT]

This video gave me chills! That thing sounds SO good!

[@dutchman7216]

To have the privilege to ride in that Superbird is true happiness.

[@lamontcranston8181]

Nothing like the sound of a Mopar starter. Love it! Beautiful piece of history. And an engineering masterpiece.

[@maidenrulz73]

I couldn't wait to hear that thing come to life

[@piirakkaliisa8340]

she has so much "i wanna go" but he holds her back...TEASE!!!!

[@Cumminsdaddy]

They were built to be raced at wide open

[@goodvibes739]

thanks for posting this great video so much historical racing context gotta love it

[@Rex69Rutherford]

That's Dynaco Blue!

[@clintoncohen8371]

Ka-chow!

[@ep.1646]

*dinoco

[@DrBIeed]

If Nascar really wanted to pull fans back in, and not just the toothless types, they need to get away from spec racing. Its basically been the same boring shit since the late 80's.

[@rivotrich7]

It is even worse in IndyCar (spec racing)

[@formereverything4268]

absolutely. upside-down fiberglass swimming pools with a v8 rail buggy underneath. not worth watching. I have a buddy who is a hard core fan, and he insists the headlights are real, not just decals.

[@stickydaddymilk6577]

I dont care what anybody says, all types of racing can be boring, spec or not. If they werent spec, the dude in second place would be 2 laps off pace and it would be boring as hell to watch. Making everything spec is the only real way to actually keep the drama that brought in and kept fans watching

[@DJprofessork72]

It somehow works for Indycar racing because that is ultra competitive and the crowds are improving. For NASCAR, you're absolutely right.

[@jhondoe5147]

@Nex Superne Now that was funny! Oh and by the way, teeths ain't all theys cracked up to be any how.

[@Willdivide1981]

no headlights, no turn signals, no license plate, no fucks given!

[@qatronano]

Chris Tiburzi they Had the Roar blocked off in both ends

[@kevn99]

Chris Tiburzi Petty enterprises basically owns the town.

[@leavemealoneiknowhatimdoing]

That is the most evil sound I have ever heard.

[@YeetxBoi]

silverbird58 torque doesn't make that noise, cam lope does, don't speak on a subject you don't understand please, misinformation is bad and something that's been around for over 40 years shouldn't have misinformation at all.

[@michaelwilkening8542]

Only if you are in the race car next to it on the track. To Chrysler fans that is pure heaven in our ears.

[@DiaperSNiFFER]

HAHAHA oh really most evil SOUND? You should hear me fart after taco bell ahahhaha

[@peterkoutros8190]

What a machine 👏.. Richard Petty certainly looks the part of Legend!..Thank you for sharing.

[@timmitzlaff8960]

What a great video man. You had too much fun ! And thank you for asking the King the right questions. You are so lucky to have had Larry take you on that ride. I’m going to save this video and watch it a lot. I draw cars as a hobby, and have already started on the super bird. Thanks, tim p.s. that was the best sounding engine I think I’ve ever heard!

[@Francoberry]

The dinoco car! :P

[@MrShidPasta]

Yeah! :D

[@thecompyclub5310]

+Francoberry yep

[@ladymopar2024]

Francoberry the king!!

[@JackFlemingFan1]

Excellent! Love those ole Plymouth & Dodge Wing Cars!

[@avman1339]

symphonic old-school HEMI music...beautiful

[@Scout81]

Best Music I've heard in a long time!!!

[@johnwilkerson1160]

My favorite Richard Petty car

[@tedro1962]

The America that was built these fantastic machines. all analog, mechanical "Dee-Troit" steel horsepower.

[@DrainPipeJoe]

600hp.....more like 850hp plus but don't tell the Nascar heads from the 60's! Great American sounds from the 60's and 70's.

[@Loulovesspeed]

Sorry, no way in hell that hemi as equipped for NASCAR generated any 850 HP. Back to doing some valid research me boy! The Ford "Cammer" in "stock" form generated 657 HP with 2 - 4 barrel carbs and that was significantly more power than the 426.

[@robertueberfeldt789]

When that engine started, a symphony of demons was unleashed, Satan danced a jig and angels wept.

[@edgeofforever7720]

Robert Ueberfeldt Fueled by the fumes of hells sewer's and lubricated by Satan's piss. The unholy creation of God and Lucifer.

[@beckywatt5048]

Probably more truth to that than you know .

[@jimbridges4141]

NOW THAT IS A RACE CAR. BEING A North Carolina born and Bred, Rancher Gotta say I might just get a little giddy to be able to Ride in one of Richard Petty's Race Cars. IF I COUND DRIVE One of Richard Pettys Race Cars it Would BE the Plymouth Road Runner. I love that 1970 Daytona. I wouldn't mind driving Kyle Petty's MELLOW YELLOW Pontiac. Oh I know here in North Carolina, We Love Ranching and Racing. Rodeos and country living. 👍🏼

[@clutchpedalreturnsprg7710]

Hello, that is a smooth-running car. Very nice tune up. No unnecessary after fire pops and explosions at all. Well done Gentlemen. Thank you for uploading this video.
