Great post. 

Got to add: Richard Petty and his Plymouth won 18 of 40 races he entered in 1970. Awesome.

cool footage. there are plenty of street cars at the end. i wonder if any of the people seen in the video still own their car 42 years later?

 sort of hijacking my own thread   but

thought this was a good video  
,  although might not be for some , its over a hour long  ,  & the wing cars only come in to it at 47m.7s , & then only briefly ,
 but well worth watching IMO lots of good info & storys  from drivers / teams etc from the early 60s on wards
