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.
Petty built a 2nd 43 Jr. Barracuda a few months after the tragedy and raced it for the rest of the season and well into 1966, jumping between stock cars and drag racing.
The number one car was dug up and given to a friend.
