The first NASCAR race ever for the legendary Chrysler 426 Hemi. The Hemi Dodges and Plymouths we're so dominant that NASCAR banned the engine mid season. Then it was reinstated in 1966 after Chrysler began offering a de-tuned version of the 426 Hemi as an option in their mid size Dodge Coronet/Charger and Plymouth Belvedere/Satellite. A 66 Hemi Belvedere is my all time favorite muscle car. Such a sleeper. Junior Johnson said that his 426 Hemi powered 1964 Dodge was the most power he had ever felt under the hood of a race car...and Junior was a Chevy guy for the most part. Mopar or No Car!
Jeremy Thompson yea. Buddy Ford came out with the cammer and shut the pussy hemis down. of course chysler started crying and NASCAR would not let Ford run it, so they gave chysler their way.
@@mikeburks9641 -The 426 Chrysler Hemi stomped Ford into the dust,at the 64 Daytona 500...that's how the Cammer came to be built,in the first place...Cammer didn't race in Nascar,so they didn't "shut anything down"...least of all,the Hemi.
Both engines were banned at the end of the 64 season for being,"Special Race Engines",..So Chrysler withdrew it's factory teams,for the 65 season,almost sending Nascar broke.
Nascar DID offer to run the SOHC 427,but with a weight penalty(ballast)...but Ford declined.(bet you didn't know that,huh?).
while banning the Hemi,outright.
A rule change, late in the 65 season,stated to race in Nascar you had to have a production based Hemi engine...which Chrysler bought out in 66.
Ford had never intended for the SOHC 427 to be a street engine
68bobba2 cammer was faster than Chrysler's version of the hemi. boss 429 made more power, petty drove one in 69 and won the championship. Chrysler freaked out and produced the wing car because their own boy spanked their ass in a Ford hemi. He'll Chrysler didn't invent the hemi engine. Ford made hemi tank engines before Chrysler did.
@@mikeburks9641 Chrysler had a Hemi in 1938 in an aircraft engine, it got tested in a p47 airframe, but it cost more than the radial that was originally designed for it and wasn't pursued for further development. The performance in the test aircraft was rated as excellent though.
@@mikeburks9641 dodge brothers designed it for Buick, Buick came too them asking about a race engine dodge told Buick sure here's a design ,dodge wanted cars for the masses not racing 😉true story👍
In my opinion, this was the greatest drive of Richard Petty’s Cup Series career, if not his life. It was amazing!
A minute and a half in the pits and he wins by over a lap. Imagine that happening today. That old Hemi was stout but I don't know how Petty's was over a lap better than second place and two laps better than third when they were all Hemis. There was dynamite under the hood but there was something special behind the wheel of the 43, too. I really miss the MoPars in NASCAR. Plymouths and Dodges racing against Fords, Mercurys, Chevrolets, Pontiacs and an occasional Oldsmobile. THOSE were the golden days of NASCAR stock car racing. The funny cars of today are faster and safer, but you can't buy one on Monday after the race on Sunday. When was the last time you saw a V-8 rear wheel drive Fusion, Impala or Corolla?
i think the motor was a 426 wedge head and not a hemi in 64
Answer: Unless you watch NASCAR, never.
GM was almost a no show back then . It was Mopar and FOMOCO during the Musclecar Era . GM didn't really do much util NASCAR changed the rules to favor them .
When the pugs are pulled and the shot falls out, the car is so much lighter it's alot faster
@@pauldinatale4338 -- the "wedge" intake I saw had double Carbs. At an angle left side (back) carb and right side (front) carb. The intake was large! 😆.
This was when NASCAR was entertaining to watch.
Ficus Wizard it still is if your a real fan.
@Tyrone Taylor Not for me, I was there! And Jimmie is my 2nd favorite driver!!!
Entertaining despite Petty winning by a lap?
NASCAR is still great to me.
" 500 miles here is like 100,000 miles on the open highway " . . .what a marketing machine
My favorite T-Shirt as a Kid was my STP one, i loved Richard Petty, never had a Hemi Bevedere but i did have a Hemi Grind Cam in my 340 Duster as a teen...
I remember in grade school in the 60s having a STP sticker on my clipboard was cool! Also those monters driving hot rods
I recently saw an original 64 426 Race Hemi Belvedere lightweight with the factory Cross Ram intake manifold with dual four barrel carbs on UA-cam. Maybe the baddest Mopar ever to roll out of the factory. The 1962-64 413/426 Max Wedge cars, the 64-65 Race Hemi cars, the 67 Hemi Belvedere/Coronet lightweights, and the 68 Hemi Dart/Barracuda Super Stocks are right up there with it too. The 12.5:1 compression 426 Race Hemi is maybe the baddest engine ever to come out of Detroit. The Ford 427 SOHC definitely qualifies too but never was actually installed in any regular production passenger car. But racers could buy it at the parts counter at certain performance oriented Ford dealerships for a short time in the mid 60s. There were a few 427 SOHC Galaxie's actually built by Ford but only for use as test cars. Today a complete and running 427 SOHC engine is worth $50,000...just that engine alone. Incredible
I've seen that Max Wedge and it says look out I'm Fast! I had the 318 and wanted more h.p. I'll never forget it. Never seen dual carbs setup like that since! One of a kind Mopar design! 🤠👍
No restrictor plates or and any appendages for downforce. All the cars were different and the majority of parts were compatible with their road legal brothers
Joe Freeman is obviously a right wing extremist who is so unstable that he misconstrues positive comments and attacks them as if they were his idealogical enemies. Weird...
Hey Joe...He was just providing reasons why those were the good ol days of stock car racing in America. Lighten up Francis.....
Yea..those days are long gone. Its be front wheel drive nascar if it was TRUE stock car racing. Which I'm not against
@Joe Freeman well your response sounds liberal to me... tough guy
I was at this race and remember one of the race cars had a camera mounted in a cut-out in the front right fender.
This sure was more exiting than modern racing!!! Love the growl of those old big blocks!!! The Fords especially had a unique moan when you opened them up.
No it wasn't. The King has been my hero since I was 6 years old, but one guy leading 92% of the race and lapping the field by half way? Today 10 drivers swap the lead 20 times and fans complain it isn't competitive enough.
@@paulday5722 ok well good for you
That moan your talking about, is the ford's catching the draft of the Hemi, and their engines blowing up because the draft moved the air, the ford's rpm went up and Boom.
@@elliottmagnum4998 no, it’s called a carburetor.
@@JohnnyRebKy most of the ford's blowed up trying to catch the draft of the Hemi., and the carb is definitely not what your hearing. Ford's are the same a billion dollar company that can't make an oil filter, they stole Chryslers filter, then had a company that could make the baseplate, make it.
This was from an old sports show on ABC that was hosted by Tom Harmon ... whose nickname was"Old 98". Tom Harmon was the father of NCIS's Mark Harmon and a Heisman Trophy winner from Michigan. Tom was also the spokesman for Product 19 breakfast cereal.
8:03 OMG the hair!
Miss Firebird....you only saw women with hair THAT high in the south. YiKeS!
Rest in peace Nascar....
How did Petty get up a lap on Pardue & 2 laps on Goldsmith, they were all driving the new hemis? Did Richard's dad give him a slightly better tuned hemi?
This race I think had the first European driver to ever race in the Daytona 500. Jo Schlesser
Look how young Richard was
This was in an era when drivers were drivers and sponsors were quiet.
Now it's all about this sponsor and that sponsor.BLAH BLAH BLAH
Amazing. Street clothes and little fire protection equipment. Race em on Sunday, but em on Monday. Stock car!!!
@Jeff Kopis
Buy 'em. I need a better screener.
That is very unsafe
NASCAR would not allow fuel cells then either. A few months later "Fireball Roberts" lived up to his name before he died of his burns.
I was at this race as a 3rd grader. Day before the race, my dad worked in GE building across the street, we watched the pacesetters and could just hang over the rails watching. Race day we were parked in the infield picnicking on the hood of our car and running around all over during the race.....we could get so close to the track and the pit crews. I think there was a building with Jai Alai right there across the street too but we couldn't go in there because it was too dangerous and also because of the betting......but hanging over the rail and running all over the infield wasn't dangerous---Ha Ha! different era. Thanks for the memory.
That's so cool I remember the old Jai Lai Fronton across the road.
Blast from the past man.
Thanks
Safety smafetey
Good one..
ooooh BELVEDERE
King of king 1of 1
Fireball Roberts was killed at Charolette that summer
And Weatherly.
Who was the Japanese woman that hands Lee Petty the trophy? She was wearing traditional clothing, so I wonder what the occasion was for her to be part of the Winners Circle. Lmao, its not something I was expecting to see in a throwback Nascar video that's for sure.
The best era , was petty blue a bit darker back then? I've just worked out that I was 10 days old when this took place,.
Even here for sure Richard was amazing. Petty the go getter
they should have saved every one of those winning cars and had them for history !
Back when NASCAR was true all in balls out racing not like the crap they're doing now
Caution for debris on that frontstretch amirite? 😂
My nana bro when to nascar old races with his brother
Only 47 more days
U cant fuck with a badass mopar...
Amazing that nascar racing was better when the racing was not so manipulated by NASCAR.
This was when it was real! Let the car dominate! I hate restricted plate races
Real men driving real cars
Somebody tell me.....Didn't NASCAR allow only one carburetor, or at some point go to that rule?
Yeah, but I think that was sometime about 1958.
Mientras en Miami estallaba la Beatlemanía
Pace car had an accident at the start of the race.
idk y i cant find it now that im trying to look it up but i definitely thought i saw a video of that pace car spinning out or something like that because they came too fast into the pits
Can't believe the amount of trash on the race track
Ed 2168
That used to be a huge problem with overheating. You'll see a pitman brush the grille on a stick during a pitstop.
Yeah that was ridiculous
No debris caution.
Hot dog and horse burger wrappers
😊
NASCAR's "realist" decade was also its most dangerous.
I would be terrified to drive those cars at 175 mph. No safety anything.
It takes a Mopar to catch a Mopar
Chrysler came to win that year, and nobody saw them coming.Shoulda coulda Ford had their 427, but it wouldn't hold together for 500 miles, same with the Chevy. Nascar screwed the pooch by banning the HEMI, now it's studio wrestling in cars picking the winners before the race with declining interest and not much hope of survival .
@Jeff Kopis sounds like you have seen the man behind the curtain too. I liked it back in the day when they raced cars literally off the showroom floor, Chargers, Road Runners were the real deal. Now cookie cutter cars with cookie cutter motors and horsepower limits make it unwatchable with whiny drivers in billboard coveralls and hats no real man would be caught dead wearing, not to mention most of them couldn't drive a cow to a bull. It's tough to call it a sport, however it was created in the South, and now no Stars and Bars flags? Slot cars are more realistic as one is always a little faster. I want to believe John Force is still real, in protest and frustration he's sitting out 2020 because the money isn't there without the fans. Have a good day sir.
@Jeff Kopis thanks for your kind response, I of course knew they weren't "stock", but as you stated they did cross the assembly line. For really stupid reasons I didn't like or dislike Jeff Gordon probably because of the association with the fakery of studio wrestling appearance nascar had morphed into. Just before his retirement Kowalski knocked him out of championship qualification with his Roman chariot styled tire cutters on the wheel wells, and after the race, Jeff calmly drove down the pit row area to Kowalski's stall, walked in, confronted Brad who was trying to lie out of any wrongdoing, and cracked him. I was an instant Gordon fan, what a man. Again, your polite comments were appreciated, I paint with a broad brush and big letters to aid the trailer park fans in understanding what was written, they don't always understand and resort to vicious comments to those who might expose the Santa Claus reality nascar seems to garner in their minds. I miss Richard Petty and the Allison brothers and Jr.Johnson drivers that really raced to win. At least they cheated fair and square, only for personal gain, not trying to put others out of the race. Have a great weekend, don.
@Jeff Kopis ohhh man, am I ever glad she didn't buy you a biography of some gay soccer player. We think alike per nascar, there's hope for you grasshopper...
@Jeff Kopis got you by 10 years, the last 35 just flew by, if you don't have your Harley yet, do it now.
Love the on the hood of Petty's car. 205 HP mega BS !!!! It was great too bad that lead to why mopars were banned. But yeah baby back when who had the power and the go nads to do it. Think they would allow wind wings now a days in any thing?
It actually says 405
4:51 it says 405 HP
0:42 Boogity Boogity Boogity! Let's go racing, boys!
It's too bad we never got to see the Ford 427 SOHC Hemi "Cammers" compete against the FIAT chrysler 426's in NASCAR. I think we all know what would have been the outcome. LOL. Precisely why France caved into the crying little girls at chrysler and ban the Ford 427 Cammer, never allowing it to run on the oval. So much for a free country and innovation.
2nd place a lap down the idiot's forced nascar to start restricting things just to keep the interest of fans high enough to fill the stands!
The guy talking is a clown, the NASCAR announcer back in the 60s was cool
Look at nascar wokeness now days it was something different back then
Mopar
I believe the reason why those engines were banned was because of simply how fast they were going because of the horsepower they were making. The Hemis qualified over 9 MPH faster than the fastest qualifying time for the 1963 Daytona 500, which was turned in by the Chevrolet of Smokey Yunick, driven by Johnny Rutherford. Because the cars were going so fast, there a lot of problems with the tires because the tire companies simply couldn't keep up, and top drivers were losing their lives at a frightening rate in 1964. Joe Weatherly, Fireball Roberts, Jimmy Pardue, and Billy Wade (in Jan. 1965) all lost their lives, so NASCAR had to do something to slow the cars down, so they banned both the Hemi engine Chrysler used in '64 and the engine Ford came up with to counter it for '65. NASCAR also wanted to get GM (namely, Chevrolet) back into the fold, as well, after they pulled out in 1963, despite a powerful engine of their own, and they figured that was a way to do it, but Chevrolet wouldn't return until after the factories pulled out in 1971.
cjs83172-After GM pulled out of Nascar in 63,..it became a 2 horse race between Chrysler and Ford.
After Chrysler wiped the floor with Ford at the Daytona 500,..Ford came up with the SOHC 427.
Rumour of a DOHC Hemi at Chrysler,caused Nascar to step in and ban both the Hemi & the Cammer.
What the hell is it with all the trash on the track?
Oh yeah, DEMOCRATS !!!
Ok
Damn thats lot trash on track
Petty wasn’t all that good
