[PettyMower]

Does anyone know what happened to the 1970 Lowe's Hardware give-away Petty Blue Superbird?

[GOTWING]

no but i know who has a couple of the riding mowers..

[BB1]

Screw the SB I want the mower. 

[PettyMower]

You just missed the opportunity to purchase a pair of "Richard Petty Special" riding mowers. They were listed on eBay for $1,000.....and the auction ended early.

"lets ask Richard........."

That's an excellent idea! His memory is waaaaay better than my own.

With the giveaway taking place right at Petty Enterprises and all you would think there have to be some photos around too somewhere.  Lowes must have had a photographer there and possibly Petty?  Maybe the Randleman news?

makes you think of how much stuff is out there that youve never heard of

Thanks for catching that on video, John!  I ran into Dennis in NJ, and he told me that the Petty mower footage made the cut for the show.

[GOTWING]

that's awesome ! I think I have two video's of him coming and going on it.  Looks like Totally auto is fixing the bird in Jan.
