I would love to have another wing car book, I hate to tell you what happened to my copy. My kids cut the pictures out of it and glued them to their notebooks.

I got to ride in a original Superbird. This one had a 440cu with a six pack. The body would twist when accelerating.

You have lived a great life! I'm glad someone is telling us the cool stories about these awesome feats of engineering. Thank you, Steve.

Up through most of the 90s about the only thing the same between a NASCAR in qualifying "trim" and race "trim " was the body. The qualifying set up was to make the car as fast as they could without crashing or blowing up. The race trim tightened the cars up ,making them safe and able to make it to the end of a race

Love it when Friday Vault is about automotive history. Really any kind of history is good with me, especially about Michigan State history.

Thanks for another great video, I really enjoy all your videos, particularly the automotive ones with the “they’re arguing about my hypothetical case” coming a close second! 🤣 I thought I’d just have a look, used on Amazon, holy crap, HOW MUCH… £343.62 or US$445.98! 🤯🤯 Never mind, it’s only £150 on eBay! 🤣

My Father had the 1970 Mercury Cyclone Spoiler, I got my wings in that car. Almost literally! 429 "Super CJ", a boss block with a Cobra Jet top end, to oversimplify. Pearson lost in 1970 racing the Cyclone against this Mopar, I believe

I got a book directly from you before Steve and was very happy. I also have several of your others on my Kindle. So when you figure out how to get the Superbirds book back into print please put me on your list for "I'll take a signed one please". 🙂

There was an RV dealership (yes never buy an RV) just down the road from my house when I was a kid and someone there had one of the new superbirds. I used to ride my bike down there just to look at the wing car one of the employees had.

I love the old winged Mopars. I grew up in rural NC, and my school bus drove past a Daytona Charger and a Coronet Super Bee every day in '73/'74. We would ogle the cars through the window every morning OTW to school. Where is the model of the Petty Super Bird? I know that there is limited room on the set, but it would be cool to see it cycle through from time to time.

I know us old timers all sound the same, but those days were the best. I don't follow NASCAR now but I would be shocked if today's race cars have even one part number from a stock car. In the begining, stock cars were heavily modified and tweaked, but did start out as a "stock" car. So to me, it used to be true competition between the big three.

He said his first car was a 69 Charger. Not a Daytona Charger. But I'll bet it was a big influence for Steve.

Today's cars just don't have the "it" that these cars had....and still have. I think it started when the gas prices/shortages hit and the automakers tried to copy European sedans. They all looked pretty much the same. Nothing special anymore. Hard to tell a Ford from a Chevy.

Petty racing just dug out Richard's Superbird and got it running. Kyle Petty will be driving at Goodwood in a few weeks. kzitem.info/news/bejne/joaCnmGVgGp7iZgsi=FaYL-gilUmDSz3e3
