- This week Timmy goes under the hood with our good friend Jim Davis. Timmy and Jim have been involved in several projects together over the years and over the course we’ve all built a great friendship. The first project they completed together was actually restoring the last superbird ever run that was owned by Mario Rossi. We hope you enjoy!!

Prayers for the Cale Yarborough family as he passed away this morning. 🙏
The entire racing community just lost a great racer in Cale Yarborough. I got the chance to meet him at his Honda dealership in S.C. What a great guy and just an over all great person. He will be missed by me and my family. Great show Timmy thanks for doing it
RIP Cale Yarborough..
Very informative. Keep the shows coming.
Happy New Year.
I hope this is just part 1 with this gentleman.
Another great episode, I hang on every word
Really cool information.
More! More! #43Superbird
Most of that was way over my head but another great show!
Yes! GET DAVE WISE ON!!! MORE MOPAR CONTENT! KEEP IT UP! AWESOME EPISODE!!!
The Daytona that Buddy Baker set the first 200mph closed course record with was garaged & tested in Huntsville, AL. They did "transmission & drivetrain" testing on runways of the old Huntsville airport. I used to have some of the old test logs (boring) stored somewhere.
great show guys
Great show. I love to here the stories.
I built a model of the 22 Daytona when I was a kid. Driver Dick Brooks?
Phenomenal!
Small world, I live 10 minutes from commerce,ga. Small town with a train track running through the middle,,
That was a great show
Can you do a little more in depth on the 305 car , I've seen pictures of the chassis and that was 3 or 4 years ago an it's like it disappeared and know more updates on it.
Perhaps I misunderstood, but did they hint that the car turned out to be one other than the 305 car as originally it was thought?
AWESOME!
There @4:33 many people still don't know that a a Superbird nose and a Daytona nose are NOT the same. Neither is the rear wing & uprights etc, the same. Lots of good info there.
Excellent video. I love the channel and watch every video. I would love to here more of the technical details of what it took to get a production car to run so fast and last for 500 miles. I consider the 1980s to be the last of actual old school stock car racing and it amazes me that they where able to get a race car to run 200 mph and last for 500 miles with the equipment and technology of that time period. I am convinced that stock car racing is the reason a modern v8 engine will last for 3 to 5 hundred thousand miles with very little mantinence.
the wing was orignally designed for a concept car . the designer engineer from Huntsville Alabama chrysler corp was John Vaughn . the record setting nose that was different from production on bakers car is in huntsville area
.
Chrysler wing cars are cool, currently building a 1969 Dodge Daytona clone.
Such a shame Nascar has took all the innovation out of the sport, IMO something is wrong when old stories are better than what NASCAR has going on now. Thanks for sharing !!
I concur 👍
I love your show but I can't hear. Too many 340's. Please turn up the volume. Thanks
Keep 'em coming!
Very Interesting video
Dodge 305, a destroked 340?
Yes.
From what I've seen ,the 304 small block performed very well in nascar, but in the Trans Am series they were disappointingly unreliable, at least for Gurney and Savage in the Cudas, I,m not sure if the Autodynamics team Challengers had the same issues? . Iv'e often wondered what the cause of the failures was ,and it was interesting that you pointed out that they were dry sump motors, which rules out oil surge as being a possible reason. Nobody had a better reputation than Keith Black.
🏁👍🏁
I got as far as the cover photo…..
Mopar or no car
Stop chewing the crust details on 304 motor.
Funny how the interviewer always talks as much if not more than the interviewee.
The present cup cars are way better.
