This Petty Blue 1964 Plymouth Belvedere is an exact replica of the car that Petty Enterprises built and ran in the 1964 Winston Cup season. The build of this period-correct racecar was done at Petty’s Garage in Level Cross, N.C., and orchestrated by NASCAR Hall of Fame members Richard Petty, Maurice Petty and Dale Inman.

Petty Enterprises was a NASCAR racing team based in Level Cross, N.C., founded by Lee Petty and his sons, Richard and Maurice, as Lee Petty Engineering.

In 2008, the Petty family re-branded Petty Enterprises to Petty’s Garage with the purpose of serving car enthusiasts around the world. The mission stayed the same: to deliver the same attention to detail, care and expert capabilities that led Lee, sons Richard and Maurice, and their cousin, Dale Inman, into the NASCAR Hall of Fame.

It was under Petty’s Garage that Richard, Maurice and Dale joined forces to replicate an exact, certified copy of the #43 Plymouth that won the Grand National Championship in 1964. Each of the three had a significant role in the original’s development, offering their knowledge and expertise while overseeing its creation. Under their direction, a precise plan using a donor car and authentic Petty Enterprises 426 Hemi race engine was implemented that integrated each of their skill sets into the overall build of this iconic race car. Before the Petty’s Garage Team deemed the car was race-ready, each of the legends thoroughly examined the team effort to make sure it was up to their standards. Once each of them gave their approval, it was backed up by individual signature endorsements of authenticity with autographs on the silver air cleaner of the 426 Hemi.
