@04afretired Only went to Ford for 1 year (1969)is what I believe you meant . And you are correct

[04afretired]

Petty only stayed with MOPAR for, I believe, 1 year.

Love these, not a fan of the taillights, but still love the car

This is not an SCJ car, way to many things missing for it to be just a regular Spoiler 429 cobrajet,It takes more than a 4bl holly to make an SCJ

@Maples01 yup:\

I wish they would bring back "real" nascars... I'd love to see what they do then... maybe we will get another super bird :)

NEVER DID LIKE THE FRONT END ON THESE

@xboostedbirdx The 429 semi hemi was banned at NASCAR for an unfair advantage, the OHC side oiler 427 would run with the Dodges. Back in the day Ford and Dodge were heavy competition, poor GM. Now the only thing branded in NASCAR are the decals, the engines are special cast, bodys all have to pass the template inspection, same template fits every car, regardless of brand, and face it, how do they resemble the street version, 4dr, front drive, v-6 and 4bangers

@xboostedbirdx not entirely true, the Hemi 426 in the Superbird and the Daytona Charger clocked over 220 on the big tracks and it was the Hemi that made it unfair to the other engines!

Could not touch a Hemi? both the Ford 427 and the 429 outran the Hemi's in Nascar! Richard Petty even switched from his Hemi Mopar, in 1969, to a 429 Torino. He said himself he could'nt beat em, so he joined them!
