Yeah, that's what's in Petty's Superbird I posted.
It sent a lot of Chevy guys back to the garage with their head hung low

.
Only problem with the Superbird was it didn't know it wasn't an airplane and would go airborne

.
Shortly after, NASCAR limited displacement to 355cu-in

. (And the Chevy guys were back in the race

)

Seems like 1959 and 1969 were my favorite car years.

Now don't get your panties in wad...I like all the years. Mid 50s, mid - late 60s, but...

Probably the fastest NASCAR.
The ones on the track today couldn't come close to keeping up with it.

Can’t argue that one 42!

Top one.

Yup, top one. Not only because I'm a die hard Mopar guy, but the Daytona will fetch way more than the 63 split window once restored..

Disclaimer, for off brand the 63 split window is my favorite.

These are both awful. Sad to think such nice rides were just forgotten about.

We had one of those in high school. It was white and ugly as sin but soooo comfortable. We called it the albino Batmobile.

I had one of these in late 1968.
Man that car was perfect, beautiful and ran like a stripped xxx ape.
I loved it.
Heater hose came off in a rain storm , overheat light didn't work, I didn't know it and fried the engine.
