    I just got a piece of information that explains the RED version of the Mr Plymouth car. Robert got the news that Richard Petty switched to Ford for the 1969 NASCAR season. He was so upset with the news that he switched from his normal blue to red. In 1970, Petty went back with Plymouth and ran the famous Super Bird, and Robert went back to blue shortly after. Just thought I'd make a note here.

    Local Ringgold boy here. Robert Nance was a legend in every sense of the word. I knew most of his family, graduated from high school with one of his daughters and spent some wonderful times at his house. When I was around ten years old (circa 1964..) one of my brothers came home from school telling me about this girl in his class named Susan Nance. Apparently, Robert let her drive the '32 Ford to school one day and it made a lasting impression on my brother. We were avid supporters of Nance's Dairy, being from a family with eight children. That was back in the day when the milkman would actually make a stop at your house. Their milk was also sold in all of the local grocery stores and used exclusively by the school system. No one had ever heard of Mayfield's milk back then, which is now the predominant local brand. The Nance name is a well-respected family name in Catoosa County and Robert Nance was a significant part of that legacy.

      I haven't had a tremendous amount of Mopar content on my channel, and it suddenly hit me that a piece on Robert Nance's career would be a great story and fill in some of the Mopar gaps in my content.

    When the front ends were low, and the rears were high. (Except if you had a gasser, of course) I love those wide back tires and the stance they had. I'm glad to see enthusiasts keeping those old races and old cars alive. 🏁🏁🏁🏁 🛞💨 Thanks for sharing!!

I never knew Mr. Nance- but that was the era I loved the most from his start to his retirement and attended many races in the northeast during that era- first as a spectator and then from the mid to late 70's as a Racer.

    A man I worked for, for about 26 years used to race at Harriman back in the. '60's. I don't know for sure what classes, but he used to drive a '55 chevy named Looney Tunes. Later a '68 camaro called Hop-A-Long. They were pretty successful local racers. Right now he's 81 years old, still operates his business, and gets around good. You need to talk to him, a lot of stories about racers you know.

    Car at 17:30 is a totally different duster than the the one at 18:30. 18:30 is around a 70 or 71 Duster. The one at 17:30 is 73' or later.
    19:20 car is different car from 19:34 car.

    • @HotRodHoarder
      @HotRodHoarder  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      It is the same car. I explained in the video that he wrecked the car recently and changed the front end to the earlier style. The 17:30 video was taken at Brainerd Motorsports Park in 2022, and the 18:30 video was taken at the Chattanooga World of Wheels in January 2024 with the new paint job and bodywork.
      To add a little more confusion, I believe the car ACTUALLY started as a '71, but was "re-bodied" as a '73/74 to stay current in Super Stock at the time.

    Very interesting, and great photos, I love that era of Belvedere/Savoy 2 door sedans, especially the '65. By the way ,does anyone know of a 1967 Dodge Dart drag car in those days ,known as the " Bee Leaver" , Iv'e got a 1967 " Popular Hot Rodding " magazine Engine Annual that shows a small photo of it .

      @@HotRodHoarder Couldn't help to feel sad when he decided to sell all his tools and car, I get life happens though. In those days these guys were both driver and builder. I remember seeing a guy cut up 2 aluminum high rise intakes and braze them together to make a tunnel ram, that was before they were produced by big companies. (which I'm almost certain you covered that one on a similar story.) Acid dipped doors, fenders, they literally ate breath sleep drag racing. All the respect goes to them guys.

Somebody needs to do an article about Dick, Henry, and if you want to get out with me, I can tell you all about it he was a superstock racer. If he wants to send an article down with him and it needs to be out there.😊
