This is great! I was lucky enough to be able to watch some of this being filmed- as a kid, we lived on a houseboat in Sausalito. The scene on the twisty road where the two cars pass a red station wagon, that wagon was my mom's car. We watched as the tanker truck flipped- that wasn't scripted. I'd nearly forgotten this existed!
People, and society as a whole, were much more in the moment and up for things. Not sitting behind screens and taking meds for anxiety and depression. And about everyone having the right to live their life as they please.
It wasn't better. It was different. People had issues too. The only difference is that people were oblivious to these issues. It wasn't the magical time people who weren't alive imagine that time period to be. And maybe you'd heard it was wonderful, but people tend to be idealistic about the time when they were kids or young adults. It was just different, and everything took a lot more time to do and you couldn't use Google to get a simple fact. You had to do extensive research and go to the library or make many phone calls. Same for the 80s and 90s.
The first time it went up over a curb would be enough to break your wheel, activate airbags and twist the chassis beyond drivability. That 75 Monte Carlo or those two Fords were ever gonna pack it in. These scenes make me feel mad/sad when I see these cars destroyed.
They were cheaply made and very slow in fact and the handling was inexistant. I had one monté carlo similar to this one. The 2 things they were very good at were burning gasoline and rusting. Same thing for the ltd. I certainly don't miss them. Only people who didn't drive them are nostalgic for these smog mobiles. They stopped being good around 1972, and if you lived in a place where you had a lot of snow, they rusted away after a few years.
Hey ! I use to do that to my moms 1977 Buick Century station wagon lol! Made it sound like a police car in pursuit! Just a dumb kid with my first drivers license.
Those cars are not old. I was a teenager when they were around. If they'e old, then I'm old, and I refuse to accept that. . I'll toss my false teeth at you if you make a remark like that again.
Remember being a teen in the early 90s we all had Monte Carlos and old ltds. Damn things were built like tanks. Ran mine up on a cement median once and it only skinned the bumper a little!
I lived in winfield ks..in early 90s bought one identical..I was drunk..slid off dirt road..hit 4ftx4ft wide 2ft tall block of ks limestone block. Sliding sideways..I was doing about 50.. judging from skid marks..hit block..flew sideways airborne..15yrs..slid to a stop...tire that hit rock was ripped off went flying...rock was split in two pieces and moved a few feet..I had no idea the damage or that I went airborne just wanted to get outta there before cops found me...car fired up..put in drive...would go..drive shaft disconnected...after I sobered up..looked at damage...talked to local police...I realized how lucky I was.. truly great cars..
When I was 16 my parents had two 1976 Monte Carlos I took my drivers test in a the lime green one with the Landua vinyl top 350 Chevy motor really hard to kill.
Just breaks the heart watching those great classic cars getting destroyed.Bug I grew up with cars like these.I really remdmber the monte carlo and my uncle had a T bird like that one but red gorgeous. Great vid thanx
It is impressive to see what these stunt drivers could do with those floating love seats on wheels and not have one poverty rim turn into a pizza slicer down the road.
Very interesting how in one shot the rear end of the Thunderbird is mangled beyond repair, and the next shot there is no damage whatsoever. I want a car like that.
Folks clammering on about how these old land yatchs were so great seem to be forgetting that this is a movie. They destroyed many identical cars to film these scenes. There are no "magically self fixing" cars, but there were multiple copies. Power from these things was shit, mileage was shit, safety was shit, handling was beyond shit, reliability was an afterthought. That they were quite comfy and would haul a lot of stuff is about all they really had going for them. Mid '70s to mid '80s cars were the worst.
They must have boosted the engine in that monte carlo because these models were very slow. I was unfortunate enough to have one, I paid 200$ for it at the time. They were just enormous cars with no handling and no power. Same for the ltd. In the early 90s, those who didn't rusted to nothing were almost given away because people knew they were crappy cars. The only thing they were very good at was burning gasoline and rusting. I don't miss them a bit. Only people who didn't drove these are nostalgic of these.
I loved my 76 Monte Carlo and I installed a 427 under the hood but watching these old Fords that need sand and rocks thrown on the ground, so they can slide is funny!
My mom had a 1976 and 1977 those chevys were built like tanks she had a collision with a bus and all that the car had was a a small black scuff mark on the front bumper
Priorities have somewhat changed since 1976. Before the internet and smartphones... getting a drivers license was a teenager's ticket to privacy and freedom without having parents around. In 2021... kids don't care about driving as much.
Heartbreaking today to have seen demise to that Monte Carlo.
At least he wasn't doing it to an El Camino.
Those cars are better. (In my opinion)
@@floridahighwaypatrol7713 are they the same platform A bodies?
And all those cars
@@brandedmcgowan9414 Couldn’t tell ya
Back in 1976 it was strictly a gas guzzling used car...
Amazing how the front end damage fixes it's self.
Monte Carlo, Thunderbird,LTD,great 70s American icons, today's cars couldn't take a beating like that and keep going.

Thats pretty cool man
No GPS, no touch screen, no auto start-stop just good old American iron.
My favorite! :-)
No cell phone🤣😂
I wish i was born in the early 50s. Being in my 20s in the mid 70s would have been badass.
Yup. My mom says it was amazing.
@@zerohero23677 my mom was in high school in 76 she said it was fun. My mom partied way too much in the 70s and 80s
Its been a gas,, I was 10 in 76'

The cars of today would stop after one hit.

@@lesscobrandeau2451 It hurts me too. Some nice Classics destroyed
This is when cars had balls and built solid rock. 😉
Although the engines was underpowered with those chole emissions stuff they were well built

Air cleaner lid flipped for maximum power!
And better sounding exhaust
Hey ! I use to do that to my moms 1977 Buick Century station wagon lol! Made it sound like a police car in pursuit! Just a dumb kid with my first drivers license.
my buddy and i always did that,lol
They had skills to drive those land yachts like that.
My first car was a 1975 chevy monte carlo that scene for me is always entertaining
He'll bring back the older style cars those are better built And last longer
I love this kind of old cars and chases!
Those cars are not old.
I was a teenager when they were around.

For a second or two...thought it was my wife behind the wheel of the Monte.....😄
I've always liked those mid 70,s T-birds.
Hey that's my generation it brought back a lot of memories to see those old cars. we really knew how to have fun didn't we haha
Damn near in tears watxhing them tear up tha Monte😢
I thought it was a cordoba
And that Bird.
When I was 16 my parents had two 1976 Monte Carlos I took my drivers test in a the lime green one with the Landua vinyl top 350 Chevy motor really hard to kill.
When I was 19 had a 1979 dark green Monte Carlo with a light green Landua vinyl top 305 V8 fuel injection 4 barrel . Oh yeah !!! 😎
My mom had a ‘77 Monte Carlo and my sister had a 1974 monte in gold.

Thats when cars were cars, now its just plastic junk.
Lighter and better fuel economy.
The self fixing front end on the Monte Carlo was a add on from factory back then it costed $300 now it’s $3 billion
Very interesting how in one shot the rear end of the Thunderbird is mangled beyond repair, and the next shot there is no damage whatsoever. I want a car like that.
Any of those cars they crash up like they're cheap are on Craigslist today for a mere 30,000.00.

Yep...everybody romanticizing these rolling piles of shit!
Damn hell of a Chase!!!!!!!!!!!! That old Thunder Chicken was getting it!!!! Damn ran the old Freightshaker up the ditch on its side!!!!!!!
Real Movies Real Cars
Had a 76 Monte when I was 19 I loved how it looked and ran .
When you realize you drove pass a empty spot and have to circle around the block to get it.
I love those classic car chases reminds me of the move bullet

That was my 15 mile drive to school every day 😂
Lmao that about how we use to drive.
Heck, nowadays kids won't even ride their bike without a helmet.
@@caseyj.1332 whats wrong with wearing a helmet?
The T-Bird must be related to Christine. Smash the back end in one scene then drive a little way and it's back to like new.
Nothing like drifting a 73 Continental MK III to make you feel closer to your creator!
Back when 205/70/14 was considered a performance tire.
Oh my god. Look at all these beautiful cars and they wrecked them all. They would be worth a fortune now.
When movies were MOVIES NICE😱😳🤯😵✌️😊👍 MORE PLEASE!!!!
That mote carlo took a severe beating love those old monte Carlos my father had one 1975 same color he bought it new about 5 grand
The car that handled like a boat, ended in the water, seems appropriate.
The movie "Street people" or "The Sicilian cross" with Stacy Keach and Roger Moore. 👍
50s and 60s some of the most beautiful cars, by the mid 70s some of the worst
I loved my 76 Monte Carlo and I installed a 427 under the hood but watching these old Fords that need sand and rocks thrown on the ground, so they can slide is funny!
No cell phone days
Epic stunt-work!
Why is this " hurting " me so bad !! It hurts , So Many classics ruined, ouch
Well... back in 1976, the time this video was made, these weren't classics, they were just average everyday cars.
@@cruznfl340 still hurts , shut up !
@@messyjones4076 Ok I'll just go back to my room now
Demo derby specials, for sure. Tough, tough.
Those old Ford's handled like a half-swamped boat, this I recall.
Impressive performance for the 76 Tbird that went for a swim.
NICE GTA 2023 WITH A ULTRA REALISTIC GRAPHIC. THANKS FROM BRAZIL GUYS😆😆😆
Those cars can take a beating and they still keep going
My dad had an aqua colored one with white top n seats
The 70’s sure had some land yachts! The gas crunch sure pussafied cars!
Grandpa,,,,,,, grandson come over here quick,,,,those God Damm hootinanny car's are going hootinanny,,,,,,, again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
a 1976 Monte would have stacked square headlights(two on each side) this one looks like a 1974-75 grafted on a 1976 car
My mom had a 1976 and 1977 those chevys were built like tanks she had a collision with a bus and all that the car had was a a small black scuff mark on the front bumper
Some pretty decent stunt driving here.
Nessa época,todos carros eram V8 e muita velocidade.Legal!🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗
Trying to re-create BULLETT in a Chevy monte carlo ain't gonna work
BULLITT
Nothing out of the ordinary. That's how they drive in N.Y.C. LOFL
A little bit of Bondo and it'll be like new again😊
Why tear up good looking car like that is beyond me 🤔
I just found this channel anybody know if they have done Dirty Larry Crazy Mary? I have looked but havnt seen it.
😆😆😆. That 65 Impala got two hits...🎆🎆.
A boat race. Or as we used to yell to the driver. Dial it like a phone
So this is where the concept of Sega’s Crazy Taxi game came from?
Thats was some damn good trading paints scenes!!! Almost like Sonoma
Damn! This is hard to watch! They f@cked up a nice MC!😔
More like 7-9 of them.
Is this amerian driving-school? I am a little confused .... ^^
San Francisco. I drove kind of like that
Try doing a demolition derby in today's cars and SUVs
I miss my LTD, Torino and my GFs Monte Carlo. Tough as nails.
Lets go .,Buy again.
Amazing car stunts
Today's motors wouldn't be able to carrie that much weight 😜
Filmed in China town?
This is a normal day in Orlando.

Reminds me of DRIVER the San Francisco mission
This is like that episode of fake news....

so sad they trashed the beautiful car :(
Cool looking at all the muscle polluting cars that caused smog. That was a era.
The soundtrack is made with 4 cylinder and manual transmissions !!!
HOLY SHIT THAT GUY CAN DRIVE!! 😂😂😂

tanks compare to today's vehicles
