- I do not own the copyrights to this video. This is the 1964 Daytona 500 that I had on a VHS. It comes from a VHS set called "The Golden Era of Racing". If you know anything about this set please tell me because I would like to buy more volumes from the set.

If NASCAR was still like this I would actually watch it
Every September we would wait to see the new cars. Spotting one now & then till we could watch this race. See them in action. Much speculation till then. In 1964 it just kept coming. Cars & trucks took giant leaps in reliability & power. There was the Mustang & this guy, Carol Shelby. Then the Beatles showed up. Great year...
The Beatles were the worst thing about it. The Mustang was a puny 6 banger!
Two legends are born that day. Richard Petty & the 426 Chrysler Hemi 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Petty,Pearson,Foyt,Rutherford,Gurney etc.Probably the greatest era ever seen in motor sports.Love these old films when stock cars were just that. Digging the chrome trim and roll up windows!
Yeah, “stock” cars could run 175. I bet even the corvair and the valiant could do 160.
Delusional.
@@sludge4125 Production Studebaker Avanti R3 ran 170.something in late 1962. By 1969, Dodge Charger Daytona Hemi had run 199.something. You are delusional if you truly think the pedestrian 164 OHV flat six Corvair or 225 OHV slant six Valiant could run 160 in a production body without a lot of boost. Stay in your own era, where you belong.
@@Zekais Fkn allah, are you that senile that you can't detect incredibly obvious sarcasm? Stay in your own era, champ, where you belong.
Lee Petty was quite a man. I can't imagine NASCAR without him.
Now that was racing.....no spotters, no cool suits, pit board communication...pull out and pass, not a big pack of cars with the TV Crew in the booth waiting for the "Big One"
No fucking smoking burnouts either.
Richard Petty was the bomb ! He really drove to win and win big. I really don't see how it's lasted in modern-day studio wrestling management style, back then the best driver/sometimes fastest car won and on Monday you could go buy one. Too fake today.
174 mph....wearing a "polo" helmet. lol This was the year I was born, it seems SO long ago watching this..
Richard Petty first Daytona 500 Win out of 7.
This footage is brilliant! Mopar rules!
A minute and a half pit stop and he still won the race with a lap over second place. Unbelievable!
Simple mighty mopars
Wow!
My God - that SOUND!!! AMERICAN-made iron, and they sound like WWII fighter planes! I've NEVER gotten used to the whine of restrictor-plate cars. They sound like mosquitoes. ^^^THIS... is what RACE cars are SUPPOSED to sound like!
It's good to be The King.
This is just too cool, seriously!
I like the bold writing on the bonetts of the cubic inch sizes ,real muscle.
And on the hoods as well.
@@bogusbill488 I get your drift,pretty funny!
Are you sure those aren’t centimeters?
Unrestricted 358s have more hp.
When cars were cars racing was racing and drivers wer real drivers and not spoiled cry babies like today. The Richard Petty era is the best ever and will never be matched.
My GF had a 64 Belvedere - with a slant 6.
Those real car bodies took a beating.
Mopar,Hemi,Petty all adds up to a win
Richard Petty was young back then! Wow!
Remarkable for Bobby Isaac to drive competitively on the superspeedways in 1964, but it would be years before he got a victory, at Texas, on a big speedway.
Who could think a 64 Plymouth Newport could run so fast.
The King
Some good shots of the engine compartment and the way the fancy air cleaner got air from the opening in the firewall. They used to use the clutch and bell housing to compress air and feed it up through the firewall and into the air cleaner and supercharge the engine. Sometime after this NASCAR made them stop but for a number of years they just 'turned a blind eye' to the practice.
Richard Petty's 29th Career NASCAR Grand National Victory
Only had 171 left to go.
Real racing, great looking & sounding cars, Miss Japan was lovely and was smart as well she didn't bring any cars with her..
+Brian Critchley Lol, you';re right. I'm from Detroit!!
My first car was my dad's '65 Plymouth Belvedere II..273 V-8...Sure wish I still had it
And all the crying started,for 65' the hemi wasn't allowed.Petty ran a drag car 65' Barracuda. It came back in 66' because Chrysler released the beast for the street. This pissed off Potato nose France so he restricted them to single 4bbl. They still won.
In fact , in 67 Petty decimated the fords 😂😂😂. He won something like 27 of 48 races & one stretch of 10 races in a row. Most people don't realize how much bill France restricted the hemis & catered to Ford quite a bit. Bill France was a Ford guy.
Mopars ruled racing period
That's why dodge left nascar ag
Ain because of the bs
It was
All them chevy girls to
@Mr3903ce: Please tell me that you're not this ignorant? All the crying started in 1964 by the little girls at chrysler (now FIAT). In 1964 Ford built the 427 SOHC Hemi "Cammer" to compete in NASCAR. The little girls at chrysler cried to France which prompted him to amend the rule book, and ban the Ford 427 Cammer, never allowing it to run in NASCAR. The little girls at chrysler knew that their 426 was no match for the Ford 427 Cammer. Actually quite sad! It would have been exciting to see the Ford 427 Cammer's smoke the chrysler "FIAT" 426's on the oval.
that old dog got flees
Dick Petty at Daytona driving the #43
Damn 180 mph. Guess the Hemi showed up this year.
Mopar's domination was starting.
jim jam sorry you do t know what you were talking about. Mopar didn't dominant any thing. Ford came out with their cammer and the dodge boys cried a out because the HEMI couldn't run. with it. Ford still won more races than Mopar in the sixties.
mike burks-You're right,Mike..."You don't know"
Mopar won 260 Nascar races between 1960 & 1970...Ford won 236(Ford were lucky to get that,seeing as there were NO Mopar entries for the first 6 months of the 65 season)
Slipped in your own shit there,son
not really
@@mikeburks9641 TYPICAL FERD FLUNKIE
Yea then they banned them from the track, cause crying ass Chevy and Ford.
9:04 Hm. Never heard anybody call him 'Dick Petty' before.
Next year they ban the hemi.. What does that tell you.?
Banned the Superbird as well.
Bill France would take money from anyone, I suppose favors happened. How much to ban the 427 SOHC? Airodynamics are introduced from the factory with very positive results & they are banned. Nothing happens for twenty years to keep these cars from launching. Thanks to BILL FRANCE. It would have been good for everyone if these engines were allowed to be developed & make it to the public. France robbed us all.
12:58 His father didn't. Johnny Beauchamp rolled into the winner's circle but didn't win. He also may have been a lap down.
My classic car has a good set of vids on the hemi and according to one of the engineers the engine was not available to the public at race time, interesting, also the Fords look a good 25% larger. prob why ford used the fairlane in 67.
Mopar was the first strong engine And then fomo was second strong
Glad to see the attention to racing in a positive light. Not a lot of that lately. Your quote is "FOMOCO" to be correct.
Hemi was king. 1 2 and 3.
Yeah, it's got a HEMI!
Did they even have caution lights back then!?
Yes
Fantastic!! What a great video!
I find no need to, in an infantile manner, insult any other era or generation. I will leave that task to the decrepit derelicts.
I think you insulted all generations with that one.....
@@will7its made me laugh.
Pachyderm packing Plymouth and the King.
Ford didn't know what hit them that day lol
fact is Ford (damn em) Dominated super speedways in 64...more the teams involved then what was on the valve covers
Exactly! Won the most races that year! Shove it, Nopar!!
@@mescko like all Ford stuff, didn't last.
At the end I just love that Firebird. I wonder where I can get one? The flag that is.
Too bad the A311 never ran at INDY. It would have killed the OFFY"s!!
You are exactly right 👍🏻. Most people don't know that . They changed the rules before they could enter a Hemi. It would of had to run under its stock cubic inches. Not the first time rules would be changed because of the superiority of the Hemi.
@@kurtpoblenz2741 Amen to that! Look how NHRA has managed to kill pro stock ( for a second time)with rpm limits cause Allen Johnson was beating up on the class making horsepower over ten grand in his mopar when the competition was running outta air!
Real racing was when half the cars blew their engine and the other half wrecked
174...sheeeit
Richard Petty was good just as much as Dale Earnhardt Sr was. Both legends on the track.
Deacon Frey Senior himself said when he won number 7 there is only one king. He said Richard Petty will always be the king. This was well quoted in the media.
Richard was far better than Earnhardt. 200 wins without driving dirty.
They both hail from a different era.Sadly,I doubt we will ever see their like in NASCAR again.
@Michael Myers Nobody is ever.. ever. Gonna top the King for wins in nascar But what you have to remember is the era's that they raced in. With the king it was the super speedway factory backed era of the 60s and early 70s there were alot of shorter less than 300 mile races then and even more events. But when the factories went away and R J Reynolds came on board all of those short races went away and then the modern era started. In no way will I ever think less of Richard Petty, He has always been My favorite sports hero and pretty much all the races that he won were in both the super speedway era and in the modern era. Nor do I ever think any less of the Intimidator Dale Earnhardt sr who was from that modern era. There was always something that was very old school about Dale Earnhardt sr, Of that generation if it wasn't Earnhardt, It was Darrell Waltrip, IF it wasn't Waltrip it was Rusty Wallace these were some of the great nascar drivers of that old school mentality that some folks miss. Trust me I could be here all night talking about greatest nascar drivers but when it all is said and done. It's still Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt sr!

Letme tell you today 2023 our king RICHAR$ PETTY Is racing on all SPEEDWAY in our memories of NASCAR 1940---2023 the dame LEE ARNOLD PETTY ADAMPETTY ❤❤❤❤in memories of NASCAR RACE CAR😊😊😊🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇺🇲🇺🇲👍👍👍🌎🌎🌎😊😊
This is what Nascar, needs to get back to not that shit they have now!!!
They don't get it at all!!! Look at the rules package for 19'!! Smaller holes in damn restrictor plates!! Rather watch the kids cutting grass.
There is a thing there going to electric cars
Get rid of ethanol. It is not conducive to performance and robs you of fuel mileage as you have to burn more fuel to go the same distance. Gasoline burns better than alcohol.
The past is like the present. The one with the most money wins

Can't wait till they go electric cars
