Incredible. I met Bill at Atlanta many years ago when I was a kid. It was raining and gloomy and his words to me were "nice day for a duck, huh?" He will always be my favorite. I have a picture with him and that will stick with me forever.
man man maaaan!! that start up is is just pure melody to my ears, I can hear that all day. I remember as a kid always picking this Bill Elliott 94 stock car in the classic Ps1 game called "Nascar Rumble", and to just hear this beast now as an adult really explains why my deep love for pure American V8 muscle rumble sound.
Awesome my man. I have a 2007 Ryan Newman car with a R5P7 and a 24 car that Gordon ran in 04 about 7 times. These things are a lot of fun at HSR and SCCA events.
If its tuned right it starts right up. My jeep has a carb with no choke and it starts faster than it did with EFI. Just pump the pedal twice so that the accelerator pump squirts fuel and it starts up. Stay on the gas for a couple second until it idles decent and then its good.
This is from the year 2000. I don't know if you'll see this but he raced in this car during that year, pictures are a little scarce but I've managed to find some online. Still not sure what races they were I'm but that's the year it's from.
I never thought I would be able to afford one. I actually never dreamed of owning one because I knew I couldn’t afford one, but… the guy that bought this car had it for about 8 years and passed away. His kids weren’t interested in the car and I was so lucky to be in the right place at the right time and was able to buy it for $10,000. I had to get a loan, but hey it was a once in a lifetime opportunity.
@@deerjohn8041 I would have no idea but if it’s one of the most recent cars you can expect it would be very expensive. From what I hear most of the NASCAR cup teams have arrangements with lower level teams that get the cars they no longer need
It is very easy. Running and driving practice cars and spare cars go for a bit over $10k and anything older or in pieces will hover around $5-$6k. There is auction sites for race cars and people will also sell them in normal classic car magazines. If you have private land to drive around on or find an abandoned racetrack or rent one you can drive them as much as you want. Not sure if track day events would allow offical sanctioned stock cars to drive around with everyone else.
Nice video, straight to the point. That loping idle sounds just awesome. Where and when do you drive this car? I can't imagine it's safe or legal to take on the streets.
Thank you for the comment. I live in the country and do drive it up and down my county road from time to time just to keep everything lubed up. My intent is to drive it in some parades, take it to some car shows and maybe even display it at some local McDonald’s restaurants from time to time for grand openings and such.
I’ve seen some people run the starter for a few seconds before hitting the ignition. I’m guessing this is to get oil through the system in a wet sump engine?
That’s probably correct but it seems that you wouldn’t want the engine to turn over with little oil in the system? The way I was told to do it just circulates oil without the engine turning over.
Maybe not on these cars but on your methanol fueled cars like sprints rolling the motor alittle before actually turning on the ignition is to clear the cylinder of any fuel so it doesn’t pre-ignite the cylinder.
@@jayss10 no you turn the fuel on to build fuel pressure, then flip the ignition to fire. If you want to clear the cylinders of fuel you put the car in gear and "back it down" in reverse.
Honestly Kody, I never dreamed that I could afford to buy one so I never really thought about it until this opportunity came by and I got a good deal. Very lucky.
2000.it was strong he also had the fastest car in 97 an was hung out to dry by all 4 Hendricks cars then they ram race out under caution an cost bill the 97 500
Why not just build oil pressure with the ignition switch then start the car? Forgetting the belt or it falls off during a drive would be catastrophic for the motor. Just curious?
It appears it was a raced car I just don’t know what races it was in. And they had to heat the oil in the engine and it looks like this is the only way they could do it.
An electric heater heats the motor oil before the air gun turns the oil pump gear, to circulate the heated oil (about 200°F) through the engine before it's cranked & fired. Explains the 3 prong cord coming from the socket behind the driver's seat, just inside the window.
I remember back in the mid 90’s seeing an Elliott show car painted like this and a Tony Stewart Home Depot Pontiac were at a local Home Depot. The show car crew was packing up for the day and they let me sit in the car & start it up. Wondering if this is the same exact car?
I’m sure they usually don’t, but I guess there’s always exceptions. This car was retired and used as a show car for Stihl equipment, so maybe that made a difference?
It's surprising to me they wouldn't throw those oil pump belts all the time, even with those big gear teeth. Was there normally some sort of cover or something to better secure that part?
Not sure but I would think the bottom part of that engine was probably better protected from debris. This car was retired from racing and set up as a show car so some things were likely changed.
Hello Steve, from what I understand if a raced car is no longer needed it is usually sold to a another race team at the lower levels of racing and sometimes sold to the public. My car when retired was turned into a show car for Stihl and after they were done it was sold to guy who I then bought it from after he passed away. Just lucky for me being in the right place at the right time.
I think there are hundreds of people who would like to buy a Dale Sr. Car. Probably not many of those available if any. Usually you can find a NASCAR car for sale online by someone who already bought it and is now selling it. Just google NASCAR cars for sale. Not many out there
Haha, yes I would probably get pulled over but it would be awesome for the McDonald’s employees to see. I’ve been thinking about asking some of my local McDonald’s mangers if they would be interested in me displaying the car at their restaurant for a few hours which would likely bring in more customers.
It depends on the history of the car if it’s a legitimate NASCAR raced car, who the driver was etc. some cars are just show cars etc. they can run anywhere from $10,000 to $100,000

That's the right way to do it. Not like a normal car you can just fire straight up!

I don't know anything about nascars but I think they look really cool especially with all those stickers😅
Must be weird to get in the car though😶
Amazing sound.
How does a carburetor engine start so easy? Sounds awesome! Thanks for the video.
It is certainly a well tuned engine and has a very high octane race fuel. Glad you enjoyed the video. I will be posting more soon.
You can tune a carbureted engine to start by turning the key for 1/2 a second
Keep it clean for 1, everything I have that is carbureted starts very easy
If its tuned right it starts right up. My jeep has a carb with no choke and it starts faster than it did with EFI. Just pump the pedal twice so that the accelerator pump squirts fuel and it starts up. Stay on the gas for a couple second until it idles decent and then its good.
High compression and high octane with a good tune. The smog engines with poor fuel are the bad ones

From what I’ve found out I agree it looks like it raced in 1999 and or 2000.
It's not from 2000, it's from 1999 or earlier. It has the older Taurus front facia that was gone by 2000

i cant even begin to tell how die cast cars i have of that car. he was m favorite driver back in the day.
Mine too!
That's a piece of history if that's really Million Dollar Bill's car.

I miss those cars. I don't know how anybody can buy these older race cars for private use.
These race teams are always building new cars and when the older ones are no longer any use to them, they sell them.

Went to a Ford dealership in mid 90s with my grandfather and there was a bill Elliott McDonald’s car there on display.
That’s awesome. Love this paint scheme
Wow! Did this ever sell? What kind of shape is/was the engine in? Did you have it rebuilt?
Why not just build oil pressure with the ignition switch then start the car? Forgetting the belt or it falls off during a drive would be catastrophic for the motor. Just curious?

I need to get me a retired NASCAR. I’ll probably pull one of my children out of college, but it will be well worth it!

Is this one of the actual raced cars? And did they use to do that little air ratchet trick before the races
It appears it was a raced car I just don’t know what races it was in. And they had to heat the oil in the engine and it looks like this is the only way they could do it.
