Great looking car.....annoying host.
Petty's garage already built a replica of the original one, hemi and all. I saw it rockingham mopar show last year. I think Richard is just fine with itThey replicated a car with a tragic history. I wonder if they're aware of the memories it would invoke in Richard...probably not.

I ain't too sure of those two guys!!!!! They hold hands!!!
Oh well.
Seems that when I watch their show, they spend X amount of dollars, he spends 40-60 hours on it, and they sell it for what they paid plus parts/. Guess they make their $$ off the show. ( like us its their HOBBY!!)/????/
I don’t think Richard is all that good with it. The original car sat behind the race shop till they sold it and all the inventory. I believe he still will not talk about it or the car.

This new guy sure doesn’t have the charisma Ed had. KimI refused to watch the show one after they got rid of Edd China.
this is definitely not what my NASCAR buddies tell me and they are not just regular fans, they spot and hang out afterward in the garage. I have had employers sponsor to rub elbow's with other major sponsors to get work. these folks all talk and the talk is The King was so distraught he will not talk about it. when Kyle sold the shop out, the car went with it and Richard had nothing to say about it.
43jr. # 1 remains are sitting in a Mopar junkyard in NC. It wouldn't be recognizable as a 65 Barracuda to anyone other than people like most of us.
The rumour I heard was that they got rid of Edd because of his last name. It is an English show after all. KimThis new guy sure doesn’t have the charisma Ed had. Kim
got pictures? show us where the junk yard is on a map. post the address. go there and get video.
And that’s how it should be. RESPECT!!There will always be the disbelievers. KimAnd you need to know all of that...why? The junkyard is not really open to the public, and the owners are sort of touchy about people taking pictures and video. The man who started the junkyard passed away years ago, and he and Richard were indeed, good friends. His descendants will let people in to browse and buy things....if someone they know and trust will vouch for you. That's how I got in there about 10 years ago. They wrote my name down in a ledger they keep of who has visited and been allowed in. 43jr #1 is definitely in there, but all it is, is a pile of scrap metal with some Petty blue paint still on it in places. Between the wreck, being scrapped out and buried, and then dug back up and hauled a hundred miles away and deposited behind a junkyard shed....you have to look REALLY hard to recognize any 65 Barracuda structure or resemblance. It was in the Barn Finds column in Hot Rod Magazine several years ago, but like me....the author respects the privacy of those folks and honors their wishes.
