The Aero Warriors era of Nascar was an aerodynamic arms race between Ford and Chrysler. Learn about the the Wing Cars, the Torino Talladega, how it all started, and how it ended, all right here!
I want to give special thanks to Thanks to Aerowarriors.com, Ken Noffsinger, And Greg Kwiatkowski for all the documents. Especially Ken for giving my script the once over.

If only Ford had put the SOHC 427 FE in Fairlanes and Comets to sell at dealerships, and Bill France had approved them, we might have eventually seen 32 valve DOHC A925 426 HEMI Daytonas and Superbirds running well over 200 mph around the tracks. Can you imagine?
This was extremely well done. There are so many videos and even TV specials about these cars where the same general information has just been regurgitated over and over for decades. It extremely refreshing to see someone actually cite the rulebook, and use acutal photos and names to back up their points. This video could be an hour long. This is also well overdue, with how overhyped wing cars have become, most people have no specific knowledge of the design or actual racing record of the cars. Cant wait for part 2.
Thank you so much for your kind words. I try hard to be as accurate as possible.
One thing is for sure, when I get some things wrong, I hear about it lol.
The full video was going to be just over 20 mins. But most people on UA-cam can’t sit that long. So I try to keep them to 10-15 for history videos.
I hope check out some of the others in the meantime. Hopefully the quality of the order ones aren’t to bad for you!
Yeah that was good bro. Good history. 👍
I loved this era of NASCAR.
"Whoa, Whoa...Whoa, Chrysler's Missile Division..."
Yup. Was shocked when I first heard it.
Watch my video on the turbine cars. Some military history there too!
Great vid!!!!! 🏁🏁
Thank you so much 🙏
Technically the first areo warrior was the 1962 Ford starlift which was a starliner roof on the galaxy convertible. Fred Lorenzen won it's first race at Atlanta, and nascar immediately banned it.
Fair enough. Kind of an afterthought, but I can see how one would make that point. Thanks for sharing and showing me something I’ve never seen.
This is why I love this era of automobiles.
@@VicsGarage71 me and you both!!!!!
Really good editing. I'd bet it takes many hours to put this together.
Its part of the reason why I broke this one up in half.. Was taking a lot longer than I anticipated lol.
Thanks for your kind words!
Love the video. Great content and I cant wait to see part 2.
Glad you enjoyed it
I to absolutely love the 1969 dodge charger datona but alas I can not afford one. I do daily drive a 1972 dodge charger
Not many people can lol. What model 72? I'm restoring a 71 now. Got a bunch of videos on my channel for that.
@VicsGarage71 SE right now it is the doeskin gold with the factory black striping with factory a/c that works wilwood 4 wheel disk breaks 3.55 posi and a 360 under the hood from a 1970 charger 727 trans with a line lock kit soon ish I want to swap in a 392 and 8 speed transmission from a newer car just so I can actually pass a gas station
That's Awesome...
Mopar or Nothing..
My daily is a 68 Dart Grandma special Slant6 to 318..
Driver level Restored...
9 years on the road since swap...
Cheers from Orange County California 🇺🇸
@AtZero138 hell yeah that sounds like a kick ass daily. I'm looking to hemi and 8 speed swap mine then take the 360 and 727 and stuff in a dart for fun. I'm in Phoenix az
@shieldwolf8093 just switch to a 5 speed tremec and 3.23 rear end and you will be able to pass gas stations without spending so much $ ,and it will still come off the line like jack the bear.
The Wing Car's...
Street version...
Can't even be compared to how Awesome the Race Cars were.. the Wheel openings alone, the stance...
Street version look so... Mild..
The Ford's i like are pretty much Always the NASCAR ones.. Galoxie and Fairlane, Torino..
New Sub...
Mopar or Nothing...
Cheers from Southern California 🇺🇸
It’s true. NASCAR versions always looked better.
I keep debating doing a nascar version of my 71.
the cars they raced *were* the cars you could buy in the showroom
Happy Hemi Day today! [04/26/2024]
back then, they had to use stock sheet metal, windshields, engines
😎👍🇺🇸
Stock Car Racing should be stock car racing.
The cars have never been "stock", jesus that is such a fucking dumb bullshit statement.
Nah thats sports car racing. Stock car isnt a street car. Not since the 60s
Daybuted ?
Ford's 1967 boycott was due to NASCAR banning the Ford 427 OHC
They never banned it. They never approved it.
@@ridgerunnerperformance-jas5418 It never was used in NASCAR for sure. It did appear in drag racing but given the small number made it was a short career.
From my understanding NASCAR wouldn't approve it so they gave it to the drag racers. I have read articles on it that had Pete Robinson had not gotten killed it would have been a series contender to the hemi in the fuel ranks. Pete and Ed Pink probably did the most development on it.
Basically this. They didn’t approve it because of the homologation rules. Similar to how they banned the hemi originally. So ford just let drag racers used it where it had great success.
So were those Chrysler rocket scientists um... German?

@@VicsGarage71 wow. Did not expect a "star" german like that. Operation Paperclip kinda shows us all that whoever was behind the Nazis DEFINITELY WON WW2.
Dude... Chryzzler? Debyou-ted?? The mind reels...
I know I will get all kinds of hate but I think Petty was the most overrated driver ever put him in an average car he was well below average only wins when he had best car available frfr
Well stick around for part two. I talk about it at the end.
It IS true...you CAN"T fix stupid.
