That sound alone would always put a smile on anyones face, when Nascar raced REAL cars !
its like an airplane ready to take off !!!
Absolutely 💯 percent ❤😊
Really Kyle didn't put belts on because if something bad happened he didn't want to deal with the grief afterwards. Not that was even a real thought I'm sure. Thanks for sharing
I was just thinkin the same thing, I almost came to tears, hearing that Hemi, remembering Richard driving it, the sound of that Hemi, Kyle Appreciate you and the guys getting it runnin and going down the backroads the way your Dad would.
This new style is so LGBT it's not funny can't nobody race like that if everyone's equal
Imagine being a kid and just randomly seeing Kyle Petty rolling down the road in a 1970 superbird🙂
Imagine being a 70 year old seeing The Richard Petty 43 Plymouth Super Bird coming down the road. Most kids today wouldn’t know what a Plymouth is 😅
Kid? I’m 50 and I think I’d shed a tear from the excitement 😂
I was a kid when these were prowling the streets.
MOM DAD I JUST SAW A UFO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just returned to my childhood watching I video !
Typical day in Level Cross. Just riding down the road and here comes Kyle Petty by you in a '70 Superbird.
I am 70 years old and I was there to see Richard drive this unique machine. These were the days when every machine didn't have to equal the other! This was a time when driver skill meant as much as the machine. Gosh I miss those days!
Yes, I agree w/ you 100%! I'm 63.7 now & last I was really into NASCAR, was around '95 w/Jeff Gordon racing. I know, even his car was 'fake', but even then, all cars limited w/restriction plates, were not real 'bought off the showroom cars' & converted for racing. Now, one piece shells where every sponsor takes up every square inch of paint.
I'll catch some of those old races from 70-74 & really see the difference in racing. SUPER skills back then, whereas today, it's like watching a video game. Why I lost interest.
Back when men were men and little boys wanted to grow up just like them...
@@jimplantinga6288great comment,,I,m 67. Those were truly the good old days
Yes sir.. I’m 65 and kind of wonder how everything just sort of went downhill from those glory days of the 1960s and 70s.
Okay, I'm a youngster of 'only' 54 but I agree too, by the end of the 70's NASCAR was wondering to far away from the cars on the roads and by the late 80's I wasn't watching much any more. At least YT has plenty of real NASCAR, NHRA/IHRA/AHRA, SCCA, and even Can-Am and Group B Rally races to see when real men with real skills raced real cars.
Now that’s what a NASCAR car is supposed to sound like
I'm sixty six and you're damn right
Yeah it made me watch every race that I could as a kid ....
Still wrenchin after 30+ years and that's about half of their years wrenchin to perfection!
Amen!!!!!!!!
No way anyone could leave this video without a smile!
My cat was interrupting me. But I can't get mad at my cat. This is an extreme Road Runner. Just as I remember though. A tin can packing rude horsepower
Elon Musk probably wouldn't be smiling, since he wants to force us all to drive little plastic electric rollerskates.
@@CrazyBear65I think you got Elon wrong. He ain’t forcing anyone. He just offers a product you don’t have to buy if you don’t want it. I haven’t bought one. But talk about American power, Elon has created the most powerful rocket the world has ever seen, and created it in America, 100% American-made, by Americans. What’s wrong with that? And it works at least as well as that Superbird, but with an even wilder sound of raw power! He’s an American (a citizen), even though not born here.
The sound of that car coming to life is the sound of my youth. Still sounds better than anything made today, pure power.
Nice lumpy cam lope and excellent high compression does it to me every time !
Can you imagine seeing the king's car on the road wow # 43
Kyle's face as he hits the highway is the best.
He is a picture of concentration and excitement. He smiles like his daddy too.
Man, just took me back 50 years!
I REALLY miss '60s and '70s Winston Cup...
Even 80s
I was born in 1970 and was a Petty fan from the age of 3 as,was our whole family...I miss the 70s and 80s era.Todays racing is just not enjoyable.
I am a 69 year old quebec resident. My brother and i snuck over to the track at daytona when camping with mom and sisters. Hey mom can i borrow the car? It cost us 25 cents a peice to get in the stands. What was goin on? Firecracker 400 time trials. Saw the king run superbird around the track.Never forgot. Since have been to petty museum twice.Oh mom we just went for a little ride.haha.
Did you ever see the White Superbird that parked just inside the fortification wall/gate at 1000 Rue Saint-Jean in Quebec City in the late 1970s?
That was the most restrained ear-to-ear grin I've ever seen, while Kyle was driving
I'm grinning watching him grin !
BIG FUN,I can imagine!!!!
It doesn't get better than this , A Petty behind the wheel of a nascar superbird!!
50 years ago that car ran the tracks faster than the current cars and drivers. That was racing!
Thanks to all involved at Petty Racing, and best wishes to Mr. Petty on his recent birthday.
So true, that car did 200 mph on the track, with 1970 technology!
With far inferior tires
Don't forget the '69 Daytona
It was also an era where they killed a driver or two every year ...
@@marklittle8805 who is they?
Wish I was on the side of the road when this thing went past.
Me too!!!
That Superbird sounds like no other. As a kid, it was my absolute favorite.
What a great day to see the Superbird out again! Even better was seeing Kyle drive it! Congratulations to the Petty family!
He's gonna run it at Goodwood this year too! Timed runs.
And that ladies and gentleman that is how a racecar is intended to be. Thank God I was lucky enough to see this car race. Momentous occasion. 🏁
Me too!!!
60yr old kid here - what an incredible trip down memory lane! Thanks for this. My neighbours enjoy'd the sound from my speakers here this morning.
Boys and girls, this is what raw power sounds like. No chips, no fuel injectors, no restrictor plates, no special gadgets, etc. Just a big ole engine block with a carburetor for maximum raw power. The rest, is up to the driver.
One of a few reasons I don't watch NASCAR any more. One piece plastic bodies, same mechanicals, so generic.
That along w/ the 'small things', like not seeing the AMERICAN flag a.k.a., 'Stars & Bars' , flying around here & there.
Racing then, was RIVALRY, not ruled by over regulation, rules & political correctness.
Now, maybe on occasion, I'll catch the 1st 15 min of the Daytona 500, or Talladega 500. Then lose interest fast.
@@rascaliwmc I agree with your sentiments. My brother and I were season ticket holders to Daytona, Dover and Pocono. We had our tickets for over 35 years. The old tickets were good enough to visit the pit stop area without special passes. Over the years, we met the old great drivers. Then NASCAR took away pit stop visits unless you had a special pass for an extra dollar. Then NASCAR made more changes we did not like; aka, restrictor plates, cookie cutter cars, banning flags, adding social justice, DEI and other liberal crap. We cancelled our tickets. It was no longer fun to go to the races. He still watches the races on TV from time to time, but I don't. And to add insult to injury, NASCAR is experimenting with electric cars now or as I prefer to call them, robots. If that comes through, the track is going to sound like a baby's room. Good luck that!
Imagine just driving down the road to go to the grocery store, and BAM!... this work of art drives by you. Wow! Thanks for sharing.
Couple of my favorite hidden things in this video. 1) Kyle Petty didn't use the belts. 2) After shutting down the engine and parking it, he reached through the wheel to decouple it, but this thing doesn't have a detachable one.
I caught the steering wheel too, but it’s muscle memory… and I thought that was great.
3 speed trans too.
The wheel is wrapped in high performance electrical tape. The original 200 mph tape.
Noticed the first point but not the second one…good eye.
I noticed the same thing. Force of habit.
Back when NASCAR was great! I could care less about it now but seeing and hearing this classic gave me goosebumps!!
The sound of that Chrysler starter is iconic!
What a special time for the Petty family as well as the crew at the Petty’s Garage. Only one question… “Does the King know that Kyle is driving that car out on the highway?”
The King and Evel knevel were the 2 biggest heroes of every kid in the 60s and 70s and rightfully so they were the best at what they did and were both fan friendly
I grew up just down Randleman Road from the Pettys. The one thing I miss is hearing them testing engines on the dyno for upcoming races. They’d load test them with hard pulls and you could hear it for miles away! The Petty family certainly completed the community and made it that much more special to live in..
Thank you Kyle for keeping that bird alive !
Kyle, I like how you went for the steering wheel release. Old habits never die.
I noticed that too 😂
We thought it would be funny to leave that bit in there!
@@PettyFamilyRacing Glad you did. It was great, LOL.
What's the steering wheel from? Looks like OE steering column but can put mu finger on that wheel. Old international truck like
I saw that too. Looked like the wheel was wrapped in electrical tape.
Honestly, perhaps the singlemost iconic “stock car” or race car or, really, any car. Love that Kyle is going to be driving this thing again.
It is the most Iconic IMO !
THE ICONIC American race car...
beats out the Chaparral by a (very long) nose!
Dodge Daytona. '69.
Omg the sound of that car gives me goose bumps
"Purrs like a kitten?" Undestatement of the century. Roars like a pride of lions.
Sounded like an elephant
That thing must be an absolute beast !!!!
This is a real race car right here. I wasn't born when these beasts hit the track, but I watched films, and I enjoy watching them more than nascar today. Feel the power. Congratulations to Richard Petty on 75 years in nascar
Yep you missed the good old days!
I like the old Trans Am series racing and the cars back then way better..Mark
Donahue and Parnelli Jones and some of the other drivers tore up the tracks in the Z-28 Camaros..Boss 302 Mustangs and the AMX Javelins etc.
My second car was a 68 charger built 440,4speed and gravel roads.
Yep, real modified cars then compared to the tube framed funny cars out today. Last week a Ford, change team directions, reskin with facsimile Chevy body panels
Such an iconic piece of history. Would love to see this run a couple of laps at Daytona again.
Just got done watching "cars" with my grandson last night. He didn't know dynaco was a real car. Absolutely beautiful. Thank you
Awesome video. That car sound is music to the ears!!!! Great to see Kyle behind the wheel.
This car is bad ass! I love the sound of that engine!
At a boy Kyle keep them MOPARS alive
THE MOST iconic car of all NASCAR! So glad to see her still here and looking, sounding and , driving better than anything we see today!
Thanks for the ride Kyle!!!
What a car! What a driver! What a engine! As a Moparman this has to be when the Hemi shined its brightest and a superb driver was at his best.
love that Petty Blue!
Look at the smile on Kyle's face!! This is the car that made me a Nascar fan when I was 8 years old! I'm from the NYC area and on Saturdays I would watch the CBS Sports Spectacular and when they showed parts of a nascar race, I saw the Superbird, the 43 and Richard and I was hooked! A Richard Petty fan till he retired and still enjoy watching him anytime he's on TV. I have always felt the Superbird was the meanest looking race car ever made. Any chance to see this car moving is exciting! The last several years Kyle has taken a big turn in life spending more time on TV appreciating his Father and it has made for excellent TV. I wish Kyle would race the car somewhere in America rather than England..
Back in the 90s, Saturday nights I used to go to a car show/hangout at Marcus Dairy in Danbury Connecticut and there were 2-3 beautiful Superbirds and 1-2 Dodge Daytona's. I loved seeing those cars the most. The most Iconic American Race Car!
Love that "Armstrong Power Steering" and Kyle attempting to pull the steering wheel off ! Old habits hard to break !
I kept thinking that Kyle was going to pull up to the King’s house to see if he wanted a ride.
I forgot what a thrill it was , driving my 74 charger 440 magnum four speed. In 78 at 20 years old. Great sounding video! Thanks.
I'm 76 years old and that ride along with you reminded me of when I was in 1st grade and my dad drove me home from school in 34 Ford circle track race car with open headers. What a thrill. Your dad is amazing and I've always loved your rascally outspoken self. I know your folks just shook their heads. Glad you are having fun!!
As a kid and still to this day, this has always been my dream car ever since the first time I saw him race in a Superbird. Awesome!
Cool.I remember those cars.THAT was racing back in those day. Real race cars with real drivers.
That made me whole day!! My Favorite car of all Time... and Kyle Petty is just tremendous as well. The Brits are gonna really be in for a treat there at Goodwood seeing this Mopar Beast come to life.
When that motor fired I shed a tear. What a beautiful roar.
People talking about the sound of the engine but what got me was the sound of the starter! Didn't matter if attached to a slant 6, 318, 340, 383, 426 or 440 they all had the same starter sound!
From the perspective of being 6 in 1970 nothing came close to being a living Hot Wheels car to me then Mopars but especially the Daytonas and Superbirds. The colors and graphics set them apart. Always enjoy watching the old races and your dad's racing style.
Enjoy your trip to Goodwood!
Growing up a Ford fan back in the day, I hated those blue cars with a passion, but seeing and hearing one of them now brings tears to my eyes, as those were the golden days of NASCAR, and a sport of men. Seeing Kyle in that seat, going through the gears, was priceless. Seeing Richard run Goodwood was special to me, and I'm looking forward to seeing Kyle make the crowds smile. Love Petty Blue !!!
Die hard Mopar guy, but them old Fords were some awesome rides too. Anyone that says different doesn’t know squat
I wonder if you would like the Isle of man TT. Two fewer wheels than you are used to but, every year they literally race to the death pushing the limits. Most still compete multiple years knowing the risks.
OMG! I can SEE why Kyle LOVES this car cause I LOVE it too! I don't know how he could keep a s*** eating grin off his face! I can only imagine seeing that car going down the road. I thought it was cute when Kyle shut it off and his first instinct, out of habit, to reach up to take the steering wheel off. LOVE THIS VIDEO!!! Now, let's get Richard in it!♥
Could you imagine driving around Level Cross and seeing Kyle crusing down the road in the Superbird! The buildings must shake when this monster goes by!!
I love that they didn’t have a chase car making a big deal out of it. Just Kyle driving around town in his dad’s old car. Imagine the people lucky enough to see it that day just driving down the street.
Without doubt, one of the most beautiful and iconic cars EVER. Not just racecars, any car. This car is in an elite category, a league of its own.
Imagine living on that street!? Best Ring video I would ever have!!!! Win on Sunday, buy on Monday! Those weee the good ole days of nascar…
This is exciting. That's my favorite petty ride. So legendary
The smile on Kyle's face represents all of our smiles!
I will forever be grateful for the experience I had growing up watching the end of an era. Born in 1980...I was glued to the tv for every race...and drag racing. Drove my family nuts..lol.
My favorite was ALWAYS Richard petty. But all the old Monte Carlos, Thunderbirds and Regals...were SCREAMING back then!
To hear this lgendary beast wake up, and see Kyle drive his fathers car ...and imagining how it felt when Richard was putting in work for reals...that had to be some amazing endorphine drop.
Thank you to all the Petty family for keeping us in the loop. LEGENDS NEVER DIE!!! 💪😉🇺🇲🏁
That 70 Plymouth Bird brings tears to my eyes when I hear it Kyle and think of your father racing and dealing with the difficulties in that era of racing and NASCAR trying to ban those along with the Daytonas !! Wow what a machine I’m like you I’ll never forget the sound and the speed of the pieces of art and history you are so lucky to drive that to victory at GOODWOOD!! Best of luck 🤞 👍🏻😎🇺🇸🦅😇🙏
5:52 that interval in the muffler sound: pure eargasm !
It's SOOO GREAT seeing a Petty Blue car on the road!!!! Brings back great memories!!!!
It's great to see Kyle Petty driving his dad's car, love the smile on his face when he hits it, really cool as I grew up in the seventies
Man oh man that's a beautiful thing!
Simply just off the chain incredible at 61 years old it's still brought tears to my eyes! Just wishing of Dreams to have been in that seat! A legend always
That smile on his face says it’s all. All of us boys who grew up with a father who had a badass Plymouth we were not allowed to touch feel this!! Cheers Kyle. FYI. You are my Hot Wheels and Mellow Yellow hero. 🍻
That Plymouth sounds just right to me……. I don’t read a note of music either, BUT I know what stirs my heart. Thank you for the ride Mr Petty ❤️👍
What a ride Kyle you are a lucky man, and one of my heroes and your dad
That was nascar
Love the plymouth, love the power, love the Pettys! Great video!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it
That was awesome, the excitement on Kyle’s face……Truly a kid in the candy store look.
Go Kyle Go ! Hammer down ! I hope we can see The King in her one more time !
When they showed Kyle on the long straight part of the road I was thinking the same thing..run that baby through the gears !
Now that sounds great!!!
This is my alltime favorite car, EVER , the 1970 Plymouth Superbird by Petty. Thanks Kyle.
I’m 50 yrs old this year but every time I see the kings car, it takes me back to watching the races with my dad,,,, it was the best!!!!! I love that car!
I just turned 65 in march and RP has been my favorite.
I even had the personal checks with all the generations on them. Can not get them anymore.
Same here, I'm 61 and RP has always been my favorite. In the late 80s I was given a remote control 43 car, it was the Front wheel drive Pontiac GP but still a 43. I still have it!
My favorite car too!!
I remember Richard from back in the 70’s as a child. Everyone loved him so much and still do today as well as his family
I was 9 yrs old when I first saw your dad race this car, nobody but nobody was cooler than your dad. And nobody defined the sport like your dad. Thank you Kyle for bringing back such great memories. I know why it's your favorite car, it's mine as well. All the best to you & your dad.
I saw this get unloaded at SEMA a few years ago. It is by far THE BEST sounding car!!!
So amazing to see it roll down a public road. I was 12 years old in 1970 and remember watching this car race on TV with my Dad! Good luck Kyle, family history and memories that are priceless. I don't know how you kept your foot out of it though!
I was 5 in 1970 and I too remember that car. Thanks for keeping history alive.
Back in the day when cars were driven to the race and driven home. NASCAR owes The King for his dedication to the sport
Greatest race car of all time. I can smell the gas. I have been a Mopar car guy my entire life. Remember seeing a Superbird on the back roads of VA. The car was at speed coming around a turn. This video gave me the same goosebumps i had as kid. Thanks Kyle Petty.
That's 'my' favorite race car in the whole world too!!
I watched it on a B&W TV.
Have fun at Goodwood. Show'em how the good old boys run!!!
"Drive fast, Turn left"(lol)
O’ man!
Kyle brought her out:)
Something you definitely don’t see everyday:)
Thanks Mr. Kyle:)
I had the privilege to visit the Petty museum around 20 years ago.What a treat! Definitely the best era of Nascar! What an iconic car and iconic family!
Awesome. So cool 👍😎 🏁❤️
So cool, can't wait to see the Goodwood footage.
Went to the museum last year. Love the idea of the Superbird cruising the streets. This car is my Holy Grail !!!!
Thats a race car ! My favorite car of all time ! I can only imagine speeding around Talladega at 200 miles an hour in that beast smell of race, fuel and burning rubber ! Thanks yall much for this Glimpse into your lives. Also, the look on Kyle’s face he can’t help but smile.
Wow!, Just Wow!
That's when cars were real beasts
I was grinning ear to ear when watching this... I can't even imagine how Kyle feels when driving this car! Just WOW!
It’s the favorite car of all of us 60 something NASCAR and Petty fans Kyle. Thanks for taking us for a ride. Have fun at Goodwood.
Very cool Superbird! This car was & still is iconic. On a side note, I've had the privilege of doing the "Richard Petty Driving Experience" at TMS, taking a driving class and getting to actually drive one of your retired Cup cars for 7 hot laps around Texas Motor Speedway. For me, that was epic, a true 'bucket list' item.
SWEET!!!
That was a sound from my childhood.... I grew up in the 80's watching the Petty with my dad and I had an autographed picture of Richard from Daytona with that Superbird. God bless and thank you
1st car I ever rode in over 100mph was a 71 Superbird The guy who took me for that ride back in 77 still has the car as far as I know. I was hooked. The sound, feel , smell, going 120 mph is still etched in my mind.Those birds were bitchin
King Richard and the BADDEST Nascar Racer ever built. Yup.
