First Bird was $2,750. in 1980.
Hit 120 on the way home at the 2-3 shift.
STABLE, like parking a car, at that speed.
I just recently watched a show that had Richard Petty talking about each of his race cars, while he stood by them. When he got to his Superbird, he said you just couldn't get those cars sideways, they were just so stable at speed, and because of nose and wing it just wanted to stay straight.
(his words not mine, was a cool show)
You are some lucky guys, I never had a wing car, and prob never will, unless I convert my 69 Charger, that would be as close as I could get!!!LOL!!!
Hell I have never even gotten a ride in one, would be so cool.

Funny thing is, the wing cars were never originally Petty's favorites because of that. They were so stable that they allowed the less-skilled drivers to get more risky without ending up in the wall. It cost him some of his advantage.
He liked the 73-74 Chargers (that he kept running late into '70s) as much as any of the others, probably because he was so consistently dominant in that era. That was a combination of his skills + having A-list resources + having the league's favor because he was so popular.
