1964 Plymouth Belvedere Petty Blue #43
This is an exact replica of the car Petty Enterprises built and ran in the 1964 Winston Cup season.
Having spent 6 years at the NASCAR Hall of Fame, it went to Petty’s Garage in Level Cross, NC to be tuned and prepped before coming to NATMUS for a stay in our Legends Gallery.
Listen to the 426 Hemi rumble as it gets loaded up in this video at Old Cars Weekly.
1969 Talladega #98 Race Car
This Talladega is on an original Holman & Moody chassis that is believed to have run as the #115 Stropped Motorsports Fairlane in 1967. It won the Riverside 500 in 67 with International Motorsports Hall of Famer Parnelli Jones at the helm.
It has been reskinned displaying the #98 yellow paint that Benny Parsons ran.
1964 Dodge Polara #6
Known as his “Last Race Car”, this was the final car built by NASCAR Hall of Famer, Cotton Owens, at his racing garage in Spartanburg, S.C. It’s powered by the 426 Hemi known as X2, the 2nd of 10 experimental engines produced by Chrysler. This engine powered the original car that Cotton built and raced in 1964.
It just completed a 3 year stay at the NASCAR Hall of Fame.
1969 Dodge Charger 500
The very first of only 392 such aerodynamic models built to homologate the slickened Charger body for NASCAR, this car is in original, unrestored condition. It was built for Chrysler Corp. with the intent of showcasing the new Charger 500 to the press, and for promotional purposes. As such, it is very well equipped with a Hemi engine, backed by the 4-speed transmission. 1 of 15 with the Hemi and 4-speed, and the only one that added C5X black cloth and vinyl interior, and power windows.
