Richard Petty's 200mph Plymouth Superbird Driven For The First Time Since 1970 The star of Disney Pixar Cars takes to the road after over 40 years. #gwflatout
Maybe they had the fire truck, for safety, and to make it a “parade” as far as the law is concerned? I bet the locals are used to it though, and probably don’t mind one bit.
i can't believe your comment only got 10 likes. even though i'm more of a jdm guy, that was one of the greatest sounds i have ever heard. i would actually say that it sounds better than the LFA to me
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.
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.
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.
@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!
Son he is the real life version. Richard Petty voiced the king in the movies and he was the king of nascar years before the cars movie was even dreamed about.
When I was a kid Richard and this car were my heroes. I had only ever heard it running through the cheap tinny speakers of my dad's TV back in the day. 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. He must have set off car alarms for blocks around.
They had permits or something. You can see the police motorcycle that they're following in one of the shots. I'm guessing the city is cool with The King bringing tourists (money) there. Pretty cool
Saw this car take a parade lap at Martinsville in about 1986 or 87. Just this car on the track by itself. That hemi made the whole racetrack rumble. Unforgettable.
@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.
Sunglasses and OTT hat aside Richard Petty looks like a true gentleman. I love the bit where the bloke shooting asks if he can start the car and Lary is like "If Richard Petty says yes then its a yes". We need people like that in racing today. I mean I'm a biker and we still have Rossi but he's the last of a dying breed. Rockstar racers, we'll miss them when they're gone.
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.
That is a beast out on the side roads! Excellent driving, Larry...and a talk with Richard Petty...that will put a smile on every Mopar fan's face! Awesome!
Hello to Mr.Richard Petty "The King of NASCAR" ..............your legacy will live forever.....thanks Sir for all those great memories on and off the race track ......
I've always enjoyed how the U.S. and the Brits find things about each other to respect. Ironic how close allies we are now compared to the enemies we once were.
It's the least we can do, given that the Brits hooked us up with the Beatles, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Marshall amplifiers, etc. Rock on! (And that racing Hemi music sure is sweet! Eight angry cylinders ready to go eat something... )
Glenn Hecker agreed. Dark Side Of The Moon, in my opinion, is probably the best album ever made. Also, there are some cool British cars, too. Whereas American Muscle from the 60's and 70's is just pure in your face badassery, Jaguars are more like refined aggression. Much love from across the Atlantic, you wacky, lovable brits.
Oh my god! What a beautiful sound that baby makes. I love how he just takes it out onto the road. Needless to say, not a policeman around who would pull that car over for driving without tags. It would be like asking Chuck Yeager for his flight clearance. ;) Cheers from Tokyo. Goodwood, here we come (though we'll miss the Superbird).
If I was a cop and got the call that Richard petty (or one of his super birds) was driving with no tags (and it wasn’t stolen) I would respond just so I could watch
In any other state, a SWAT team would be called called out. In that town, it's just the King going for a spin around the block. I saw this car race at Daytona when I was 8yrs old, it looked like a spaceship. In those days Petty would lap the entire field, they were so much faster than everyone else. Even without the Superbird. Petty had so much more money and much better cars than most of the other teams. Bill France couldn't ban this car fast enough.
Guys say how much NASCAR is banning innovative ideas, but I also see this in your normal car dealerships. You see cars like the Supra, S2000, Skyline, Challenger, Cuda and how those were innovative in performance ... these days everything is so mudded down because of emissions laws, hybrids, electrics ... bleh
A new Challenger with a 392 inch Hemi is faster than any muscle car made in the 60's, 70's, or the 80's. Without the Hellcat, that's in another realm altogether. We are driving the fastest muscle cars in history, and the performance is still increasing. I give the big 3 a lot of credit.
Do it a Daytona 2017.(but better make sure there's only enough fuel to make it around the track 1 time or Richard may not start the race but run in it.)
Possibly the only man who ever lived that could make a cheesy 'stache, cowboy hat, and shades, actually look damned cool. Lol. Seem to recall something decades ago about the shades hiding burn scars? The keen wrench eye noting such things as the holes where door trim was removed .. the golden age of NASCAR when there was still a whole lot of stock in stock car. Can't even be bothered to watch any more. :( (When) I play the lottery occasionally .. always a 43 in there.
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.
I can’t even imagine the sound level at say Darlington during the start with a racetrack filled with such cars! Richard is a national treasure. I cant imagine the prices his cars will command on the day they finally cross the auction block.
THAT´S AWESOME!!! Like Richard Hammond said: "Gotta do lots of steering to keep heading straight forward." I can´t believe it has got only 4 gears+reverse. These cars are awesome. Dodge charger Daytona too.
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.
I was camping at Talladega Superspeedway this past October when all of a sudden, I was awoken from a deep slumber to a parade of these super birds, my campsite was next the the tunnel entrance and there were atleast 20 of these cars thundering by (at idle speeds of course), despite my hangover this was the best morning alarm I’ve ever had, definitely recommend 10/10
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. 👍🏼
Thank all the people whom put the king in his place.ALL YOUR TEAM MEMBERS WAS THE BEST THING I'VE SEEN BACK IN THE STOCK CAR DAYS, TODAY , RACING NOT THE SAME, TODAY THE NASCAR, IS TOO COMPETITIVE, NO ROOM FOR ERROR S TO TIGHT AND TO RAISED, HIGH ABOVE THE ORIGINAL OLD SCHOOL WAYS, WAS FUNNER BACK THEN.STILL TILL TO THIS DAY, JUST LOVE THE OLD WAYS THE BEST. BECAUSE PEOPLE HAD VALUES, IN LIFE, DIFFERENT BIRD TODAY
For me, before Dale Sr., Richard Petty was King! My Dad brought back a Petty placemat with Richards ‘Petty Blue’ ‘72 or ‘73 Car. Lol, I’d have to say it helped me eat all of my dinner cuz I wanted to “Jus’ look at it!” Petty Blue FOREVER a favorite color! Thank you Richard.
WOW...... thanks for this.... im not such a fan of nascar and i dont live in USA but a im watching a video of the reasons why nascar go to hell and then this..... i never hear a superbird its amazing......bring back alive this beauty s......this is NASCAR.
If Plymouth came back and built nothing but these Superbirds, they would make a fortune and the world would be a better place.
dodge is going back in the right direction though, as close as you can get to that classic muscle feel
Agreed ! We have a friend 30mile away, has one in his barn, he bought new..sure wish he would sell to us, to fix up&drive!
Yes ! We bought a new Hemi Challenger when they came out, and LOVE it !
Dont forget the satellite 2 door! :)
Ahh the 2008 is pure nostalgia I have a toy hot wheels of the 2008 challenger
Well, I guess they just let Richard Petty do whatever the hell he wants to do down there in North Carolina. God bless him.
Maybe they had the fire truck, for safety, and to make it a “parade” as far as the law is concerned? I bet the locals are used to it though, and probably don’t mind one bit.
Damn right they do lol
You want to see a nation in mourning just wait till the sad day arrives that The King goes on his last ride.
It probably could if they really updated it and everything and brought it out there but every car has the same now you can't be different
Petty and Earnhardt are gods here.
When that engine roared to life. Not gonna lie, I got chills
i can't believe your comment only got 10 likes. even though i'm more of a jdm guy, that was one of the greatest sounds i have ever heard. i would actually say that it sounds better than the LFA to me
imagine this roaring past at 200mph back in the day... i sure wish i was around to hear that
Guido pfp
I turned my headphones to 9/10 right as the starter cranked
When that engine roared to life, I got the Hots. My member stood up to take a look around.
Richard Petty seems so humble. Down-to-earth. Genuine.
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.
That is an extraordinarily high honor to say you have ridden inside Richard Petty's Superbird.
You can love the Italian v8's or any other european v engine but, man.... a dirty american v8, is something to behold !
vector409 you said it brother!!
vector409 You're right. Agree 100% with you.
And i'm italian!
TY and I'm British o/
vector409 There is nothing and I mean nothing like a good ole American V8 !!!
vector409 The sound of that engine is intoxicating.
A car so good that NASCAR had to outlaw it to beat it.
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.

david thayer firebird is outlaw.. cause it’s smoky bandit! 😅🤣🤷🏻♂️
They dominated the super speedways, if memory serves me correct they weren't banned, in 71 they either had to add weight or go to a smaller engine.
Speechless when that engine starts. The greatest of all muscle cars.
Nicolas Roselli Damn right
It is great and so is the Shelby Cobra! Basically an Engine on Wheels!
Sounds like heaven for petrolheads
Drive that superbird through a small town and you’d have more attention in a second than teachers get from students all year long.....🤘
That's a fact!

Used to go to Darlington races every race. Saw Rip Hawk and Sweed Hanson in infield.
The smile on his face when he got in that Superbird. Priceless!

This video gave me chills! That thing sounds SO good!
What an utter treat. Lovely people, wonderful car. Perfect.
When that engine started, a symphony of demons was unleashed, Satan danced a jig and angels wept.

Fueled by the fumes of hells sewer's and lubricated by Satan's piss.
The unholy creation of God and Lucifer.
Probably more truth to that than you know .
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.
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.
I was camping at Talladega Superspeedway this past October when all of a sudden, I was awoken from a deep slumber to a parade of these super birds, my campsite was next the the tunnel entrance and there were atleast 20 of these cars thundering by (at idle speeds of course), despite my hangover this was the best morning alarm I’ve ever had, definitely recommend 10/10
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. 👍🏼
"wiggly round" "put a little wing in the thing" back then they didn't use clever terms or technology, just BALLS
Talk about feeling like king of the road!
I used to live around 15 miles from this place, it’s in Level Cross, NC, stopped by there a few times and I can honestly say it never got old
I saw that car at the muscle car and corvette nationals in Chicago of 2019 it truly is a beautiful car with a lot of power under the hood
Butthead: "Hey Beavis, I have seen the top of the mountain and it is good."

Thats called “The king” from cars movie

When i was a child, i'm always think why his face look so sad :l
For me, before Dale Sr., Richard Petty was King! My Dad brought back a Petty placemat with Richards ‘Petty Blue’ ‘72 or ‘73 Car. Lol, I’d have to say it helped me eat all of my dinner cuz I wanted to “Jus’ look at it!”
Petty Blue FOREVER a favorite color! Thank you Richard.
