1975 Chevrolet Monte Carlo in Street People, 1976 Stacy Keach takes a Monte Carlo on a hell ride and destroys it. 5 STAR stunt driving, absolutely classic.
No, the energy gets transferred to the passengers. That's why cars have crumple-zones now, to absorb the crash, but then they're scrap metal. These old cars are tough as nails, the frame doesn't bend that easy. Body-on-frame is tougher, that's why full-size trucks still use it.
Monroe old car frames from do bend easily. The trick is that they're fixable. These days, cars crumple so easily to protect the passenger that the whole car get ruined, and although you could possibly fix the frames, usually you can't.
That's true. It's just too bad the cars (plural) that were destroyed in the making of this stupid scene weren't (say) the 'disposable' '75 Chevelles instead of the beautiful Monte Carlos.
No, they were just death traps like other US cocacola can like build rust buckets….. compared to Volvo, Saab or Mercedes, you cant talk about “ build like tank”. Wake up boomer 😂😂
Maaan, Stunt Men back in those days must have had balls the size of onions. No fkn CGI, nothing and doubt any safety equipment really. Awesome! Love these old movies.
I still daily my 76 Monte. Triple black with the original 400 in it.. drop spindled the front end and added tubular control arms, hot ignition, dual flowmaster super 50s and the biggest tires I could fit on slotted mags. Front wheels and tires are slightly smaller than the rear to give it some stagger. It gets 17 mpg and I put around 150 miles on it a week.. best car I’ve ever owned.
I absolutely loved my '76 Landau. So did others, which is why it was stolen and stripped, not once but twice. After the 2nd time it wasn't worth saving.
I had a 75 Monte too! Mine was that same burgundy but with the black landau roof, swivel buckets, console shift, and of course no fruity spokes - I had the GM rally rims. Yank the junk radio, slap in a crazed pioneer component system and you are cruzin! (My motor was a custom built 350 4bolt main, that I coupled with a turbo 400HO out of my 74 Malibu SS. Of course that was 35 yrs ago now.
5:01 Well that was a powerful crash, judging by the force and velocity and not to mention by the speed before it hit the other car but. the seatbelts did a fine job.
For the front of the car to fold upwards 2 ft and the rear of the car to come completely off the ground, there was a whole lot of energy being transferred. That was at least a 50 mph wreck.
Had a 73, 76 & 79 76' I painted it Light Buckskin, N50's on 15x10 E.T slots , straight piped dual. Looked nice but slow as molasses in the winter time. 😆
That was a car from my generation. I always found the design to be half-assed, called in, hungover 70s. So I was delighted, as a designer to see it deconstructed, incrementally, by those awesome stunt drivers. That car really has a "mean look" potential. Anyway, now I know what needs to be done, and I believe in that car now, in that it can be aesthetically rescued. Thank you very much Car Chase Wonderland 2.
I had 2 different buddies that had that exact Monte Carlo,except the wheels of course.I put gas coil-over shocks on 1 and it drifted nicely.(Back when it was called 'power-sliding').
The upside down air cleaner lid is classic. It sounded better when gagging on it, but more performance? I'd have to dyno a smog clogged mid seventies 350 sbc to verify. It may go from 155 hp to 156 hp. Not enough to feel it in the seat of the pants. 1973 G.M cars are my favorite. The Regal and Century, Lemans, Monte Carlo, and of course the Cutlass. 1973-1977 are the best looking years
My mom had a 1977 silver one with red interiors and we drove it from Chicago to Florida round trip.... that car lasted for years but the Chicago winters and salt on the road rusted it out. I want to get one for the memories..
I'm a classic car guy, I love all older gems, and I swear it felt like I was being kicked with ever smack, that first Cadillac hurt so bad. Omg that Chevy they burned!!!! I feel that indian guy with a single tear 😿 falling except instead of a destroyed land scene I stand over the junkyard where all these cars ended up in.
I had a 75 Monte Carlo my mom got from my Great Aunt.. That thing was a pure beast.. I drove it to Lake Worth beach one day and some old dude pulled off a side street without stopping and I took off his front end.. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 All my car ended up with was a small dent above the drivers side headlight and a scratch on the bumper.. I sure miss Big Red.. She could handle just about anything you threw at her..
Lol, breather cap turned upside down ‼️ use to do that to all my cars for the sound affects ‼️ sssshhhhhhwoooooollll!! Good ol Carter AFB four bour down draft with automatic climatic control ‼️
Back before health and safety standards, Hey we’re going to do a car demolition scene downtown, do we need to close down the streets? Nah just chuck an ad in the paper 2 weeks out she’ll be sweet😂
Them monte Carlos and chargers back in the day ruled the local roundup rounds, get the nose on the inside and run the up into the wall till he let up, at the end of the race, they're put on the bare knuckle show
Reminds me of the missions on "Driver: San Francisco" where you have to scare the passenger, literally almost to death. They probably got the idea for that from this movie.
Mine was a 1978. It was nice...Metallic Maroon,White Vinyl Top,and the four square headlights looked really sharp-I liked that better than the older ones with round headlights,but the exact same body. But that's personal preference. ANY year Monte is nice. Too bad it fell apart...When I had it,1991-92,it was 13 years old. When winter came,the fenders fell apart all around the wheelwells. It was rotting from the inside out,I just didn't know. Connecticut. Salt on the roads. When they towed it away because of street sweeping,I just gave the tow company the title. I woulda junked it anyway.
Yeah, hits aren't in order. A couple of the shots of Stacy Keach had the drivers door gone before it was. Still, won't see stuff like that with today's cars. That's why they have to use trucks in crashs.
i never had too with my '77 stepside. q-jet and later 650 double pump, rv cam, headers, flowmaster super 40's. that bitch would scream while she was shittin and gettin!
I had a blue 75. It was my 2nd car. Bought it for $200. . That thing was a burnout machine. In fact, it had the stock bias ply tires on it. After doing a particularly huge burnout, the tread flew off! It was beat to hell when I bought it, and stopped driving it when you could see the trunk interior from the rust hole in the quarter panel. It was an awesome car.
I had a '75 while I was in the US Army from '84 to '86 and I loved it. It had the swivel bucket seats and when I went to see my Grandparents my G-ma loved it because she had a bad knee. I let my G-pa drive it and he said it was a great car. I could smoke the tires on it too. ;-)
I love the way that mid 60s 4 door Dodge (Coronet?) manages to be just about everywhere the Monte Carlo is, and the way the other guys kept up on foot to witness the destruction.
I bought a 74' Monte Carlo in 1988. Had a 350 with only 145hp. Lowest HP rated 350 SB in GM history. But a turbo 400 trans. In 1990 i was working in an engine rebuild shop breaking down engines to be rebuilt. The guys in the shop built me a 550 claimed hp roller cammed 400SB engine to put in the car. I bought all the parts they requested as needed over a 7 month period. I got the 400SB on a swap deal it came our of a van i was told. Back then roller cam engines were only seen in race cars. I was a 22 yr old with a beast. The cam and roller system set me back $1,000 alone. Big valve heads. Single eyebrow pistons $500. Steel rods $350. 750 double pumper, Holley high rise duel plane intake. Mallory elec ignition. To much to list. I remember the names of this stuff to my surprise. 12 bolt pos unit given to me. I burned tires up. Until i wrecked it. 2 yrs later. My mother was happy to see it go. She said it was to much car for a young man.i can still hear that rumble from those 2-1/2 in pipes.
Not my favorite carb but if you bought a GM V8 you got a Quadrajet.Enlighten us,what would have been a better carb?Remember it has to be versatile,encompass small block Chevies to 500 CI Cadillacs.Start in all climates and altitudes,including an automatic choke.Starting in 1975 it also had to have emissions including,but not limited to PCV valves,EGR valves ,and that cold start bullshit that everybody hated.So what is the answer?A Holley?A Edelbrock (which is usually a repop Carter AFB)Fuel Injection?How do you propose the Quadrajet be re-engineered to meet your exacting specifications?
I have a 76 Monte and it has square headlights, the year before they were round. I kept thinking, Man, I could use that interior! Mine is white as well but showing it's age. It was one of the few that didn't go to the derby. Tough car!
I honestly cannot pinpoint when these wonderfully raw chase/demolition scenes in countless beloved movies transitioned from sheer pleasure to remorseful shuddering at the destruction of common period vehicles, that so many of us would crap our pants to own today. 😟
I know these cars were all so common and boring at the time like 4 years after this came out that car woild probably be $400 and now it's like $10000 if you're lucky
I watched the cars in the background more than the Monte Carlo. In other words, I conure kind sir. The very last frame of the video is a 57/58 Chevy, on fire....
That they were, and those around now probably still are. I (personally) did not like the stacked square headlights similar to the Chevelle on the '76 and '77. It took away from the sleek Rolls Royce look of the '73-'75. I'm sure the reason was to make it 'fresh' going into the 4th and 5th year of the 2nd gen Monte.
meseyc They went through 2 cars it looks like, the first huge impact where the front bent killed that one, after that it’s a different car with body panels removed
Yeah the cars didn't break, you got pulverized instead. New cars crumple into dust but you walk out without a scratch on you because the car soaks up all the energy not you
I had to Google the keywords Stacey Keach, Monte Carlo and San Francisco to come up with the film's title. Street People from 1976. Italian-made film. Never heard of it, and I was a teen back in '76. Probably played in Drive-In theaters back then, and never made it's way to my region.
@@Adam1nToronto No, but it's simple physics that the bigger your vehicle is the safer you will be because the more energy will be imparted into whatever you hit. You don't see tractor trailers being totaled in accidents with Priuses, it's always the eco warrior who ends up being sliced in two.
It sucks watching any nice car being destroyed for film footage. But this looks more irksome because of the perspective vintage of that Monte Carlo, and yes that cast would get A LOT of attention in that good condition today. But back when this was made, nobody cared. It bothered me more seeing him slam it into that late 50's Eldorado at the light. And burning the Belair in the closing credits But again... Those were common cars back then... and as time would go, those became far more valuable than the starring chevy. But at the time, the Montecarlo being new made it much more valuable.
Lmfao he skidded into the impala and those steel bumpers took it like a champ, not even a scratch on em
Piratebuttseckz
Yeah the frame bent instead lol
You can check the oil without getting out of the car now
No, the energy gets transferred to the passengers. That's why cars have crumple-zones now, to absorb the crash, but then they're scrap metal. These old cars are tough as nails, the frame doesn't bend that easy. Body-on-frame is tougher, that's why full-size trucks still use it.
MrWolfSnack If you wanna trust a sensor that can fail. Man up and check the dipstick.
Monroe old car frames from do bend easily. The trick is that they're fixable. These days, cars crumple so easily to protect the passenger that the whole car get ruined, and although you could possibly fix the frames, usually you can't.
the Colonnade GM A-bodies… some of the toughest tanks ever produced!!!
That's true. It's just too bad the cars (plural) that were destroyed in the making of this stupid scene weren't (say) the 'disposable' '75 Chevelles instead of the beautiful Monte Carlos.

Maaan, Stunt Men back in those days must have had balls the size of onions. No fkn CGI, nothing and doubt any safety equipment really. Awesome! Love these old movies.
At 4:38. I like how they flipped the air cleaner lid for 100 more horse power.
I’d be willing to bet that the stunt driver did that himself to make his job a little bit easier.
Love this!! And Stacy Keach was absolutely hysterical with his comments especially when he said the car was a color he didn't like.😆🤣
"Oh by the way I forgot to tell you. Do you have insurance?" 😆
Great driving by Sergent Stadenko!
I still daily my 76 Monte. Triple black with the original 400 in it.. drop spindled the front end and added tubular control arms, hot ignition, dual flowmaster super 50s and the biggest tires I could fit on slotted mags. Front wheels and tires are slightly smaller than the rear to give it some stagger. It gets 17 mpg and I put around 150 miles on it a week.. best car I’ve ever owned.
I absolutely loved my '76 Landau. So did others, which is why it was stolen and stripped, not once but twice. After the 2nd time it wasn't worth saving.
I had a 75 Monte too! Mine was that same burgundy but with the black landau roof, swivel buckets, console shift, and of course no fruity spokes - I had the GM rally rims.
Yank the junk radio, slap in a crazed pioneer component system and you are cruzin! (My motor was a custom built 350 4bolt main, that I coupled with a turbo 400HO out of my 74 Malibu SS. Of course that was 35 yrs ago now.

How long ago did you buy them
In these days, it wasnt known these cars would be valued and desirable today, those monte carlos became a dime a dozen in the 80s.

It was really painful to see this Monte Carlo destroyed.
I felt the same way .
Legend, says after all that beating the car went through, it still runs to this day lol.
LOL Wouldn't surprise me.
That's because Monties are the best.
Dreamers!! 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
I had 2 different buddies that had that exact Monte Carlo,except the wheels of course.I put gas coil-over shocks on 1 and it drifted nicely.(Back when it was called 'power-sliding').
I noticed that it had the old upside down air cleaner trick i did years ago to my late 70's chevy truck to let more air in to carburetor

Oh man, it's Sargent Stedanko. And then Bond showed up.
Have to love a little Fog Hat👍
If you look at 3:36 check out the airfilter lid,that was late 70's performance enhancer....
Great car for Enduro racing. There's like 3 foot between the front bumper and the radiator
Had a fan shroud extension that looked like a garbage can cut in half awesome!

you got a sub and a like this was a cool and funny car chase
He tore that Monte Carlo all the pieces !!
I love those early 1970's Monte Carlo's, I had a 1974 Monte Carlo so it was really PAINFUL to see them destroy that beautiful car!!
So did my Auntie, she had an 1974 and 1978 Monte Carlos
Yeah, it was a little painful to watch
I cried and said a prayer for the dying.

They must have used at least a dozen identical cars to do that. The amount of damage increases and decreases several times.

Still, won't see stuff like that with today's cars. That's why they have to use trucks in crashs.
With over 145k built that year in 1975; they had plenty of them to choose from.
Right!
The air clean lid flipped over lol first performance upgrade every one did
I had a '75 and that's one of the first things I did. ;-)

Clint Davis Agreed. Holleys are ok but, for a driver, require a lot more maintenance to keep them leak free.
Thermoquads, if they haven't been fooled with by novices, work excellent as well
I have a 76 Monte and it has square headlights, the year before they were round. I kept thinking, Man, I could use that interior! Mine is white as well but showing it's age. It was one of the few that didn't go to the derby. Tough car!
It broke my heart seeing that beautiful Monte Carlo getting F up
Its a 75, a piece of fucking dog shit.
And seeing the thousands of chargers they destroyed making the dukes of hazard didnt ?
Prelude Paul under 70 were used.
D Rutt 1969 I agree.....looked better when he was finished with it!

Kinda reminds me of the game Driver.
I still have that game. Love it.
I was dying laughing and crying for the classic Monte at the same time!
30 years ago when I was in LA, people used to call it, "Mexican Cadillac"..Mexicans loved Monte Carlo so much back then.
Everybody loved the style of Monte Carlo that started in '73. That was a massive hit for Chevy.
Love 70s movies seeing all the classic cars !
This is painful to watch but also funny because of how these cars take a hit
meseyc They went through 2 cars it looks like, the first huge impact where the front bent killed that one, after that it’s a different car with body panels removed
Lol yeah it's like gta San Andreas graphics. Now days the cars fold like a lawn chair
Stacey Keach= worst Uber driver ever...
Looks like Roger Moore at 4:07...
+BuzzLOLOL it is.
the driver of the monte was stacey keach, and roger moore was the one sitting in a different car with the radio.
how the fuck do you confuse Roger Moore with Lee Majors? XD id say Yosemite Sam needs glasses.
Billy Darley
I thought it would be impossible until we read some of these messages...and they don't know who Roger Moore is? Seriously?
1976 was the first year the Monte Carlo had square quad headlights...FYI.
you can upgrade them to BMW E36 headlights
"I don't give a flyin' fart if it's absolutely new, I have got to test it." The overdubbed dialogue is quite funny.
Its heart breaking watching classics getting trashed...these cars now and days hit a curb and its out of commission.
Hitting a curb would put an old car out of commission too. Seen it happen, '72 gran torino.
Yeah the cars didn't break, you got pulverized instead. New cars crumple into dust but you walk out without a scratch on you because the car soaks up all the energy not you

1.00 whats roger moore doing on this?
007 new training film
Those were the best looking Montes. '73 to '75 . The 1973 is my favorite.
Late eighties!!!
I would venture the 1970-72 were the best looking.
"Ooo baby"
*crashes head on*
"Ooo what can I say? Sorry."
This has to be one of the better ideas for a RUclips channel.
I had to Google the keywords Stacey Keach, Monte Carlo and San Francisco to come up with the film's title. Street People from 1976. Italian-made film. Never heard of it, and I was a teen back in '76. Probably played in Drive-In theaters back then, and never made it's way to my region.
My stepfather bought a new 1974 Monte Carlo gold with white top and white interior. It was a beauty. Really ran well also.
3:37 air cleaner lid is turned upside down cool !
I had a 74 same color . First car I ever had and it was a tank. My most favorite car I've ever had
1975 Monte Carlo. The last year with the round headlights. In '76 they went to 2 stacked rectangular lights that made it look like a Ford LTD II.
1973 is only year in that body style with round headlights. Stacked rectangular was ‘74 and up
I hated when they opted to make it FWD, that killed the Monte Carlo.
They used 2 Monte Carlos in this. Filmed out of sequence, but still a classic car action scene. And a great low-budget import movie.
What's the name of the movie?
Too funny. Just one hit in a newer car would have disabled it. Ha. Love old cars. Built to last built to take a blast! Lol
A guy in a 2010 Toyota found that out the hard way when he hit my 76.
RyanODawG StanforD I was thinking the same! LOL
This clip isn't real life though.
@@Adam1nToronto Wait, you mean to tell me that movies are not real life? I am so disappointed.
@@Adam1nToronto No, but it's simple physics that the bigger your vehicle is the safer you will be because the more energy will be imparted into whatever you hit.
You don't see tractor trailers being totaled in accidents with Priuses, it's always the eco warrior who ends up being sliced in two.
it makes me cringe seeing that beautiful car being destroyed
Simon Fox Monte Carlos are trash, bro.
@@TheRealCaptainFreedom so is MW3
Brock Wallace lol
Nice solid boats. Better than these ugly cannoli cakes everyone drives these days. 😅😅😅
It sucks watching any nice car being destroyed for film footage. But this looks more irksome because of the perspective vintage of that Monte Carlo, and yes that cast would get A LOT of attention in that good condition today. But back when this was made, nobody cared.
It bothered me more seeing him slam it into that late 50's Eldorado at the light.
And burning the Belair in the closing credits
But again... Those were common cars back then... and as time would go, those became far more valuable than the starring chevy. But at the time, the Montecarlo being new made it much more valuable.
I haven't laughed this hard in awhile. Thank You for sharing this with us.
Ahhh back when car action scenes involved actual cars and not shitty CGI *cough* Fast & Furious anything
Yeah but unfortunately thats why classics are so scarce and expensive these days
CGI ELECTRIC KARS SUCK
SICK OF THE FAST FURIOUS KRAP MOVIES
1.00 WHATS 007 DOING ON THIS???????????/
I guess that's why you hardly see these cars anymore
Ross Egan Jr. Yea those car drive them self to junk yard
Those cars died a long time ago
The 66 coronet he crashed into in the end popped up like 6 times previously to him hitting it
