  • oh man WHERE'S THE REST OF THIS COOL FOOTAGE?

  • William Conrad voice aka Cannon

  • Thanks! The face and voice match now. Those were the days! Dad had a Sunoco, mom was driving me to preschool in an F6 with white wing and interior Daytona, and the race cars were real and cool. One Christmas I got both Rock-em-Sockem's AND an SSP Superbird car.

  • 1970 was real nascar racing all cars was nearly different unlike now it sucks all car resemble and i want to be nascar driver

  • Comment removed

  • NASCAR today is a fucking joke, if you didn't know NASCAR banned the winged cars because no-one wanted to see "the red-headed step child" Dodge's and Plymouth's wiping up the competition every weekend. But that is exactaly what happened later because it is a Chevy/Ford world. MoPar has always been #1 in racing but always gets screwed cause they want them at #3. From the '63 D-100 Dragmaster truck, Lightweight 68 Hemi Dart's/Barracuda's, The High and Mighty cars, Winged cars, they DOMINATED!

  • @SuperBallDeep actually the winged cars were banned soon after dodge came out with the superbird and then after the 71 season both ford and gm were making prototypes for nascar for the next season. the nascar management did not like that. for what ever reason. if i recall my auto history it was both dodge and gm cryed fawl about ford engine's. btw gm has alway's tooken a backseat to dodge and ford. also ford was the only american company that had a near total domination for sanctioned racing

  • Daytonas/Superbirds in essence were factory cars, homogligated for the street, so thats why they both are around today in street trim. I wish that Ford would have ran that SOHC 429 just to see what that DOHC Race Hemi would have done, if it was 600 HP imagine what DOHC would have done, 750, 800? 900 HP? These cars would have been completely unstoppable.. God bless Ma MoPar...

  • Just to clairify, Dodge had the 68 Charger, Ford soon came out with the faster Talladega, so MoPar pulled all the stops and introduced the sexiest, fastest, baddest car to ever drive on this planet, the '69 Dodge Charger Daytona, Plymouth followed up with the '70 Road Runner Superbird. It was a 1-2 shot that ruled NASCAR, till NASCAR said no more. Another fact is Ford made a SOHC 429 they were gonna run, till MoPar pulled out the DOHC 426, NASCAR said no way that was going to run.. Imagine that!

  • @SuperBallDeep ford never had a sohc 429

  • @SuperBallDeep Some clarifications: 1) Chrysler's 426 CI Hemi was NOT a DOHC, not a SOHC. It was a pushrod motor with canted valves. 2) The Charger 500 is what I believe you are referring to. It was an interim solution until the winged Charger Daytona was available. Then the Plymouth Superbird showed up. 3) It has been documented numerous times, although I regretfully can't provide a source as I write this, that 200mph was recorded right out of the showroom for these Mopars.

  • Who did the narration for this. That voice is familiar to me from dozens of films back then.

  • @ramairfour William Conrad was was in Cannon,P.I. and Jake and the Fatman....also did some Rocky Bullwinkle stuff.

  • @ramairfour William Conrad was the guy narrating. If you’re old enough he was the actor to play Frank Cannon on an early 70's detective series on CBS.

  • The only difference in the cars nowadays are the engines.

  • did you see the ford 4 door pu ? new right?

  • i know it's 41 years ago now but if the look of CHRYSLER WING CARS on the big tracks doesn't give you an erection.......might be time to re-up your viagra script.

  • the great times of nascar.

  • What was the car that finished 2nd that year, it wasn't a bird but it did beat 3 or 4 others, now that's impresive.

  • Anything David Pearson drives is the best NASCAR ever.

  • the charger daytona is the best car EVER. the best nascar, the best road car and the one nobody likes or remembers

  • All those Daytonas give me a huge fucking boner.

  • The Superbird i died and went to heaven gosh it is such a good looking car

  • when toyota first joined the races they were aloud to use ford engines, too bad challenger isnt aloud in nascar series, and its REALLY too bad that hemi is outlawed forever/

  • @dodgedart74 To really have an answer for this, you must take a look at the long history of Nascar and GM. I mean, go way back to the late 50s. Nascar was dominated by Mopars and Fords for a very long time back then. GM then "whined". In time, to around the 70s, Nascar biased the rules towards GMs heavily. The template you see today is based off a Chevy Lumina. If foreign cars are allowed to compete, like Toyota, wait until Porsche or MB or BMW joins.

  • @dodgedart74 And note that during Nascar's early days, say until the late 80s or so, most teams borrowed High Perf engine knowledge from the professional drag racing teams.

  • NOW ALL THEY ARE MADE OF IS A TUBULAR CHASSIS AND A PLASTIC BODY THAT MILDLY RESEMBLES THE REAL CAR THEY ARE MEANT TO REPRESENT!!!!BOOOOO!!

  • @bingobangledangle Sheet metal bodies.The cars are actgually kind of heavy considering they are bare bones pure race cars.

  • I miss this beasts

  • i love the old sun machine

  • Look at those cars at 0:25. Gives me goosebumps.

  • yeah the hp is way up but somehow the speed i way down? wh cant a guy like bill france be back?stock cars going as fast as they can go i mean put stock chargers stock impalas stock touruses back on the track and get them jap car out why would they alow toyota to enter? have you seen there cars? they dont go broom rumble rumble they go imgaaayimgagagaaaay gaaaygagaaay rrr blam! hey kim i wreck yo cara!

  • i like older cars back then it was about craftmanship and performance know its about making everything cheaper and cutting corners

  • @greeneyefull Hell yeah!

  • They put out about 550-600hp with 7-liter hemi-head engines. Dodge/Plymouth ran Chrysler's 426 Hemi and Ford/Mercury ran the Boss 429. Though the stock versions were officially rated lower, in reality both engines put out 450-500hp (gross) and upwards of 500lb-ft of torque in stock trim.

  • How much power did they put out back then?

  • How can You Not LUV this....????

  • I like the older stuff. Gonna show this to my brother-in-law...

  • love those superbirds with the big wing magnificent machine

  • NICE!! These were the days when the cars could be ID'd from the "cheap seats" not like todays cookie cut shaped cars :(

  • i know except for the front end shaped like a fusion or charger or whatever with a sticker slapped on it all the cars look the same now.

  • This is when NASCAR was real,, Didn't have a import as they do today.. REAL AMERICAN MUSCLE...

  • id like to find a crew cab 70 f 100 4x4 like the one at the beginning of this clip

  • Dodge Ford NASCAR 1970

    Coast to Coast 0:27 SUPERBIRD

    Dodge Ford NASCAR 1970

  • Great vid! NASCAR basically ceased being great & truly entertaining when they started building custom-built racecars rather than making them from actual STOCK cars. (It's National Association of STOCK Car Auto Racing, NOT National Association of CUSTOM-BUILT-RACECAR Auto Racing, for christ's sake!)

    The final nail in the coffin of NASCAR's past greatness was when it became an overcommercialized series, really commencing around the early 1990's, imo.

    R.I.P. to the once-great NASCAR!

  • It's a real pleasure to see this great video about the nascar in the periode of the years 70 :-)).

    Thanks for sharing

  • How sweet it was.

  • dodge/ford? that sounds like sony/microsoft to me... i mean it doesnt make any sence. can someone explain to me please?

  • Its just how he titled it. More correctly would have been "Dodge/Ford/Chevy  - NASCAR..."

  • Chevy did not compete with any factory entries as GM banned support for racing. A few independent drivers drove GM cars as well.

  • True, I was just explaining the probable reason behind the awkward title to this clip.

  • I remember hearing that The Birds were banned and Hemi was also banned as they were concidered an unfair advantage to the chev and ford boys.I will tell you one car that gave dodge a good run was not a chev,It as the Telladagas from ford,between the two makers,they made some great racing. Allison and Petty...what a pair

  • Man those cars look so sexy. haha

  • 0:25 is very cinematic feeling. Great shot!

  • fantastic..

  • Very interesting !

  • These where Stock cars

    I really miss the real Nascar racers.

    stock cars only in Nascar please!

  • They were not exactly "stock" cars, real stock cars died about '64 with the death of Fireball. They were safer than their elder models but by no means stock.  They were tube added cars which could be made from a showroom car. But I share your sentiments, the cars of today are bricks patterned after IROC with snotnosed silver spoons attached to the steering wheels. The real racers can be found on the dirt tracks and at places like Oswego with the supermods. Yep I know how you feel.

  • amen!

    I do agree with the cages built in to these cars safety wise

    but built into a true Stock car .

    you know if they raced real cars and show how good they are ???able today, maybe we would not need a bail out

    race Sunday sell Monday they forgot that

    build a safe and quality product

    do research and development on track to make a better car for public

    I'm sure Toyota did not forget sad to say

  • hey look at the mustang even so its no long a solid steel car but hey fors has stuck with what it has learned on the tracks streets and car shows lol

  • me too

  • William "Cannon" Conrad doing the voice over!

  • GO Petty GO!

    Come on Kyle! GET"R"DONE

    We Need a Petty, In Victory Lane Again!

  • but Kyle isn't in NASCAR anymore, first time EVER that NASCAR hasn't got a Petty since Nascar was made

  • frank) Yep! He's in the booth now?

    or was last year.

    It Just Doesn't Seem Right,

    Not To Have, a Petty Racing.

    Have a Good One!

  • I don't think Kyle is in the booth, I think it was last year, exactly it ain't right, well Petty Enterprises is now Richard Petty Motorsports

  • Hell of a sight, wish it was like this now.

    Incredible footage of all of them lined up.

  • try going to a dealer now and try buying a car that raced on sunday. I hope nascar goes down hill and lifts the retritions. These car today are not STOCK CARS just a name tag. Cant even tell them apart.

  • They are silhouette, like the old GR.5 in the 60's&70's ;) So even there, the acronym still right (National Association for Silhouette Car Auto Racing.)

    But I don't like the look of COT, mostly the front: Get that nose back and the aerodynamic race...

  • I wish the Speed Channel would air some of these 60s/70s year races on tv. Those were the good ole days of Nascar when they didn;t have all the restrictions like they have today.. whoever had the fastest car won. No computers that told them everything.. just a Walkie Talkie.. PLEASE SPEED CHANNEL.... Die Hard MOPAR FAN

  • Old school nascar YES! Fuck this WWF,monster truck, corporate na$car media brainwash, no-punch harvick fight grudge sponsored by fabreeze mutha' fuckas'

  • looks like at least 9 areo winged cars in the first few seconds there

  • A 69 second documentary? WTF? Where is the rest of it?

  • i cant imagine how awesome it must have been to drive one of those bad ass cars on that awesome banked track

  • funny guys,i'm not a nascar fan,loved it way back when,but i'm a quarter mile fan,i know iknow,left turn straight,way back when guys had a smoke and remains of what thay ran in the backwoods,today thay are in shape,have to be,athletes? maybe not like bill romanowski,but still have to be fit,to run ovals for hours,MBDKS,try it some time,racing is not as easy as it looks

  • Ah yah nascar is awesom!!!!!!! oh look, another left turn!!! Awesom!!!!!

  • Great narration - the one and only William Conrad, aka "Cannon".

  • nascar is nothing but the nfl these days, drivers see who can make the most money. there is no love for the sport by the drivers like it used to be.

  • It's interesting that, without exception, every "Athlete" who has tried to drive a Cup car for longer than 3 laps comes back with the attitude that NASCAR is indeed a sport and the drivers ARE athletes in every sense of the word.

  • Auto racing belongs in sort of a second category of "sports." Like horseback riding, luge sledding, etc. These things don't make same kinds of athletic demands on the participants as something like pro boxing or football. But they still take a lot of talent & practice, and they demand a hell of a lot of physical motor control & conditioning for the particular activity.

    And as for NASCARs in the 1960s/70s?

    Not easy. Manual steering & brakes, 130-degree cockpits, unsafe tires, etc.

  • you obviously know very little about the physical demands of auto racing. Nowadays the true professional racing driver spends a lot of time in the gym. Physical fitness is extremely important if the driver is to keep two tons of steel pointing in the right direction for 8 or 10 hours at a time.

  • I think that's Ken Nordine!!

  • win on sunday sold on monday? not anymore thanks to the epa and insurance companies , those assholes

  • LOL

  • Man, no American iron was more beautiful than the Superbird/Daytona. I sure wish I would have been there building and racing supercars in NASCAR. Today it's just BS compared to what it was.

  • man i wish i was alive then to be able to see the 426 HEMIs and those winged worriors that be awesome! back when the cars where real and the people too Nascar sucks now a days too much fakeness.

  • very old cars

    nice video

  • I'd love to have that big Ford pickup in the beginning.

  • nascar is a peice of poo its not as hard as u think it is and at the end of the day there people who work in the sewers and get paid less so im sure they dont worry bout one race le mans 24 hr is a hard race

  • jizzoid you are just that, a pig messy pile of jizz. You are a real dumbass. How the hell would you know if it was easy, you waterhead? Fool.

  • NASCAR is a sport an endurance sport. I don't think many of us here could do what they do.

    Try holding your bladder for up to 500 miles, while sitting in a car that can reach temps of 120 degrees; losing up to 10 lbs. in 1 race, from dehydration and more.

  • This is when racing was about using real cars to win! The nascars today are all the same and totally GAY compared to the excitment of the 1970's!

    why can't these owners and drivers demand some difference in their cars today ... Nascar is a GAY sport as it stands today!

  • Ask Jack Roush.

  • i agree with you. NASCAR needs to go back to the old days of 'raced on Sunday, bought on monday', and not this cookie-cutter race car bullshit.

  • @ben5017 Hey, wow, wow hold on! I'm gay, DO NOT insult me by comparing me to the new nascar! I miss the days when they used real stock cars too! So don't even!

  • @RevengeofGothzilla I don't care who you sleep with, I don't care who you marry ... it's your life, live it as you must. Why must you must spend hours of time searching for debate over 3 year old comments.

    How about this, yes we agree the old Nascar is the best ... the new is too much of a corporate homoginized bland, no flavored, lack of innovation, boring Nascar!

    Have a good life!

  • aircraft precision... wake up , they built the F15 in those years lol

  • He said spacecraft precision, not aircraft precision.

  • I got ya Redneck hanging bboyjay69 - what does the bb stand for BLOW BOY --- ha ha ha ha - sha GRIN. Go sit on a spindle and rotate.

  • I agree NASCAR is the premimer racing sport we have the higher purser better fans and better racing.

  • I am sick of openwheel fans shitting on Nascar. If openwheel is so great then why are all the big names coming to Nascar? And once they come to Nascar they usually can't handle the cars.

  • its normal for red necks to think nascar is a sport... if you check the united states IQ.. rednecks in the south have the lowest IQs in the united states therefor they think that nascar is a sport. and only red necks in the south watch nascar.. put them together and you find that stupid red necks with extremely low IQs watch nascar and claim it to their graves to be a sport

  • YOU MUST A FUCKING COMMIE NASCAR OR RACING IN GENERAL IS WOLRD WIDE YOU DUMB ASS now try again dipshit

  • Yeh, NASCAR is not a sport. The cars just drive themselves! I don't know what bboyjay69's problem is, but maybe he should get his IQ checked before he starts to talk/type. Any activity that involves human action in a competitive environment is a sport. But I do agree with bboyjay69 when he/she says NASACR ain't a sport. Because its a passion and if you don't like it then why are you watching it for?

  • You poor, poor turd burglar.

  • it was a sport.

  • Redneck NASCAR fans from the south, huh?

    Well I am from the south, (Alabama to be exact) but apparently my IQ is a bit higher than yours. I mean, even a redneck NASCAR fan from the south knows sentence structure and punctuation!

    Before you say things like that, you should learn the language! Why don't you learn to spell IQ and learn what it actually is!

  • You tell him! Also, got to love Alabama. Home of the superspeedway!

  • it's not a sport, it's a passion, just like loving cars, is it a crime if i like to work on my car and make it last for a long time and restore old cars for more then 12 hours a day?

  • Well, I sure know what you suck!!!

  • Cool 1970 clip. Thxs.

  • I doubt those days will ever happen again. Most dealers want to have cars they can make money off of and vehicles that use alot of feul don't sell like they used to

  • detriot could be awsome again if we start drilling and refining our own oil

  • Zeriouslly  has right, that was great times

  • DAM! this was when REAL cars raced!!

    it was all about the racing!!

  • Excellent!!!!

  • Great video...bravo..

  • the best racecars ever are the 1970 superbird nascars

  • MORE DAMMIT! >_<

  • thank you for this video it my kind of history class!

  • The late 60's early 70's were THE time to watch nascar. Just bloody amazing.... no restrictions on engine size or anything...

  • yep, in 1979, wyhen tv coverge stepped in, the engine size rescriction kicked on around 1978, 30 years ago, NASCAR is going downhil anyway, good-year can't make a decent tire, good races get dropped from the schedule in favor of some cookie-cutter, when nascar already has like 7 of em, 30 years ago, 85% of the nascar schedules were short tracks in the south, now only 5% of the sprint cup is short-tracks, the rest are ovals and superspeedways in the mid-west and coasts

  • It's a bit right, but it's call an exportation: Nothing bad there...

    I take a look at the track in 1976. A lots of tracks have still there...

    Daytona,Fontana,Bristol,Richmo­nd,Atlanta, Darlington,Martinsville,Tallad­ega,Dover, Lowe,Nashville and Pocono. All that still there!

    What is not there: Riverside and Rockingham speedway.

  • the California Speedway project broke ground in 1992, the project was completed in 1996, the cup guys had test sessions in 1997, the first winston cup race was held in 1998

    i may be wrong on when the project broke ground, i know tat kansas speedway broke ground in 1996, and it took them 4 years to complete, the first race was an indy car race held in 2000

  • Shit ,you are right.

    Fontana confuse my because is the California 500... And The California 500 was held in November 21 in 1976, but... On what track?...

    It's not be at the California speedway but... The Indy's twins, the Ontario Motor Speedway! Hey the land where that track was is now in Fontana city due to modification of cities limits... But that was 2 super oval, and it's likes 2 miles between the two...

  • awesome!!! hey mom - do your shopping in a 200mph superbird, with column gear shift and rear drum brakes...wow.

  • id watch nascar if they still used stock cars

  • Win on Sunday...Sell on Monday!
