Sweet sounding racing car!!! Personally, I actually have a 1990 Ford Thunderbird as a Hot Wheels car in my collection! The casting of this is known as the "T-Bird Stocker". Nice to see the "REAL T-Bird Stocker" here. I betcha I can remix the audio of this video here into a short showing my Hot Wheels T-Bird Stocker with the audio! I can use the audio to bring my T-Bird Stocker to life!

@@coldstartarchives Thanks! 1990 was the year I was born. I'll be turning 34 on October 7th this year. 1990 was also the last year of the Third Generation of the National Association for Stock Car Automotive Racing (NASCAR)(1981-1990). It was a time when wheelbase was set to 110 inches. Ford had an aerodynamic advantage over what General Motors was sending out on the track. In response to this, GM created a fastback design for 2 of their G-Body cars in 1986: The Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS and the Pontiac Grand Prix. The modifications include a further sloped rear window and a shorter trunk lid that sports a spoiler that lays flatter than the spoiler that one would find on an ordinary G-Body car, mainly the Monte Carlo. Personally, I actually have a Hot Wheels replication of a 1986 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS Aerocoupe NASCAR Stock Car, known as the "Chevy Stocker". This was a time when 5.9L NASCAR V8 engines still used the old carburetors, produced around 600 horsepower at 9,000 Revolutions Per Minute, and were still linked up to 4-speed gearboxes. By the mid-1980s, NASCAR Stock Cars raced in excess of 210 miles per hour. It would not be until the 1988 season that NASCAR would use restrictor plates. Theoretically, while the "Chevy Stocker" from 1986 would've been unrestricted, the "T-Bird Stocker" on the other hand would've had restrictor plates.
Very interesting! The only thing in your write up I had known about previously was the speed they were able to achieve in the 80s. Everything else is new to me, so I appreciate you taking the time to share some NASCAR history!
Early 90's was usually one or combo of thin wall 3" or 3-1/2" pipe (sometimes flattened to an oval) with an X-Pipe at some point depending on tuning of the exhaust to the engine/track layout. That cackle is from the aggressive cams and high compression of the day. Boom Tubes came about in 1995 I think and they sounded great too.
Back when cars had an identity, you could tell one brand from another !!! Unlike those cookie cutter turds rolling around on the track today. And no, that’s NOT the race engine in that car.
While I cannot verify the worth of a NASCAR back in the day, race cars in general do not hold value at all, unless there's a story behind the car. Collectors are usually after originality of a vehicle, in terms of how much of the car is original. Race cars end up like a Ship of Theseus, leaving collectors paying for the story/history/VIN. While there are exceptions, this is a massive hit to the value of most race cars once they're retired. There are other reasons as well, such as unreliability and potential legal inability to drive the car anywhere but a race track.
that is what a race car should look
Like
And what a race car should SOUND like too!
THE HORSE POWER!! Sounds so nasty!! Love it!!
That Black Havoline car will always be the best looking car ever.
Amen, Davey Allison/ The Best.
@@LarryVarner-zq5zd U damn right
This is a 1993 Thunderbird for Davey Allison- About the same year that we sadly lost him.
That's the sound I remember as a kid! Sounds nasty!
These old Nascars always makes Mecum.
Now that’s one sexy looking car!
I have stood next to one of these cars. As loud as you might think it sounds, multiply it by 10.
Started pretty well for a cold start.
I can smell the fumes here at home 🤘
No one could develop the horsepower that Robert Yates did with a Cleveland.
Yeah, that's why they banned the Cleveland.
HELL YEAH!!!! Sucks now that street cars have more power than current cars. Oh well ,soon they won't even have an engine.
I miss this nascar
Best sound on earth.
I miss the way NASCAR used to sound. Mainly the cup series, Xfinity sounds pretty good these days in my opinion
Ah yes, I noticed the Trucks have a meatier sound than the Cup cars sound (on tv at least)

Very cool, thank you for sharing! I typically have the remix feature off, but I'll enable it on this video

Fantastic! Nice car & creative use of the remix feature 👌

Yates horsepower.
Back when the Clevelands were sweeping nascar before the canted valve heads were banned.
That's it.
What is the exhaust and motor exactly?
Not sure about the exhaust setup, but as per the consignor, it's a 358 Ci Robert Yates V8 rated at 791 HP with 12:1 compression
@@coldstartarchives That’s gotta be the best sound ever!!

At idle engine sounds like it wants to run wide open throttle.

Exactly! Back then every car had its own identity. These days they all look the same. And when did they get so lazy with paint jobs and design work.
Why does this car have a 1994 mail slot nose on it?
No clue really, could be reskinned & reworked etc. Only other piece of info available outside of the video description is that it's an RYR chassis
Wish I knew who bought this 😭
Could you do a "Luke Warm Start" 🙄
Sold for $51,000 dollars. 😮 A stock car in 1984 was worth about $70,000 dollars. I don't get it...
