I've seen it in person. The quality is insane. I don't know how many other 24 years olds like myself grew up watching the movie but I seriously geeked out seeing it.
I love this guy's obsession to create something so beautiful. Doing it with genuine period pieces as well takes it from amazing to incredible. Top marks to this hero.

Yes, quite frankly, I can't resist singing the Movie's theme song whenever and whereever I drive my Chitty Car- she's truly a Magical Car!!! fantasmagorical!!!!
That car blew me away when I was like five and first saw the film. I loved when he had the boat and the broken down car that he merged together, it was unbelievable.

Wow, When he said "let's see if it will fly" my heart beat faster and I felt that sense of wonderment and hope flood me like my first time seeing CCBB. Thank you sir for posting this. (now back to the video I had to pause it and comment) .
Beautiful. My favorite childhood movie - that car always has a special place in my heart. I had the large Corgi one as a kid (sadly, no longer have it because I actually played with it all the time.) What a fantastic job you did. Congratulations. Seeing that gave me all the feels.
James Bond's car was cool, and so was Batman's... But Chitty was the coolest and most badass car (of all time), as she doesn't have a load of gadgets (and I think she was the inspiration for the flying car in Flubber aswell).
"I've never seen anything like it… Oh, I've never seen anything LIKE it… I've never seen anything like it… innn myyyyy liiiiife…" Wait a minute, that's a line from another awesome film from that similar era :-)
Had the pleasure of meeting Tony and seeing the car at the New York Auto Show. Realizing that I was also a mega Chitty fan he let me come under the rope for a closer look. Great car; great guy.
Back in 1969 I saw the movie Chitty Chitty Bang Bang with a friend of mine here in Melbourne Australia. I couldn’t wait until the record of the soundtrack came out and since then I’ve loved the movie. I’ve watched quite a few times now I’ve got it on Blu-ray DVD. Absolutely brilliant and guess what I never get sick of it Yours, Jeff
Never let go of your childhood dreams, Outstanding, I'm the same age and saw the movie aged four years old, Kept my original toy chitty, ever since. Awesome nice work Tony.
Has he never seen the real thing? Why go to all that trouble and not make it the right proportions? I saw the original in England about ten years ago at a Steam Rally.
Some Bloke ........ how do you know it was the original?.........5 cars were made for the film LOL............id still give the guy credit where its due for making a nice replica.............it would never be exact proportions as the car he has is a smaller wheelbase but he done a very good job
My absolute dream car. If I could I would offer the owner of the original anything it would take. I was hoping this was going to tell me I could get a replica. Amazing that you built this yourself. Incredible job. I won't ask to buy it as I know the answer and who could blame you. Maybe I'll get to see it one day.
Tony congratulations on a beautiful extraordinary machine 👏🏽😄!!! I like your self have seen Chitty Chitty Bang Bang a dozen times, I never get tired of watching that movie ! When ever I watch video of car builders such as yourself and build famous cars that were either in a TV series or movie brings back a lot of great childhood memories for me😊. Again Tony, job well done 👏🏽😄!!!
great see this film when i was 8 years old in 1968 mum and dad took has never forgotten it still watch it now I am 63 now .and I must say you are great 5 years of your life if I had your skills I would build one my self and if your kids don't want it put it in a museum where millions of people can look at what you achieved a nice picture of you beside chitty
I loved that movie, I still remember the songs. What a beautiful job! That is a labor of love... I live in Florida, let me know if you're traveling south anytime soon. Fantastic!
I can't see anything on that car that is not screen accurate! Tony, you are a master of your craft. If I ever get to meet you, I'm bumming a ride! Rock on.
Ian Flemming's original book had the car flying over traffic which surprised Commander Potts (ret) as it did Cratacus in the movie. The book illustrations show it growing wings.
*This is absolutely AMAZING! I've been thinking about Chitty Chitty Bang Bang a lot since I saw the documentary Chitty Flies Again with David Walliams on Channel 4 fairly recently. This the absolute BEST Chitty replica I've ever seen in my life so far! Well bloody done, dude! XD*
absolutely fantastic !!!! taking your dream to the maximum , full of passion ,,,,, i remember this film from when i was maybe six ,,,,,, passion makes the difference between average and absolutely fantastic , wow !!!!
Nice job Tony. I too was obsessed with that car as a kid too. I remember getting a C.C. Bang Bang pedal car as a kid. When I got older and was a senior in HS the movie Christine came out. Like you I told myself I want one (seeing how finding a CCBB was not going to happen). 10 years later, 93, bought a 58 Plymouth and made myself a Christine show car! Because of this I appreciate what you have done. Ps I to am a Police Officer. Thanks for what you have done!
I actually met this guy at the New York Auto Show. Cool guy. He loved talking about the car. He had his own section in the fantasy car parts portion of the show
It's a fantastic piece of work, and I only have one little quibble. She's a little short in the nose. I think the original Chitty is just a tad longer. Other than that, it's an incredible thing that he's built. Just beautiful.
Is this guy and car still around in 2022? My autistic son would love to see this, it is one of his favorite movies. We are in New Jersey so not that far!
Oh my goodness 😍 This is phenomenal! Well done you! I LOVE CCBB ❤ It was the very first movie I ever saw at the cinema - with my family. I was 5 years old 🥰 It left such an impression. Absolutely magical movie 😍
I've seen it in person. The quality is insane. I don't know how many other 24 years olds like myself grew up watching the movie but I seriously geeked out seeing it.
Hey, im 23 and grew up on it!! I NEED one of these
I'm 29 and I grew up with it, too
It's great to see someone making their dream into a reality. Never grow up Tony!
Tony's girlfriend saved the entire comments section!! 😂
Nice one Tony, bless you... It's good to be a GEEK! 🏆🇬🇧
I love this guy's obsession to create something so beautiful. Doing it with genuine period pieces as well takes it from amazing to incredible. Top marks to this hero.
Beautifully said, thanks for taking the time to comment! It was truly a labor of love! For car and the movie!! Cheers!!

WOW! .... every kid's (and adult's) dream!! Do you ever sing the theme song driving down the road??
Yes, quite frankly, I can't resist singing the Movie's theme song whenever and whereever I drive my Chitty Car- she's truly a Magical Car!!! fantasmagorical!!!!
+Anthony Garofalo Thanks for all your hard work in keeping the story going!! Do you take orders? LOL
Oh you! Shitty shitty bang bang! Shitty shitty bang bang we love ❤️ you!!! 😁
Maybe, I would love the original Bat Man car, which was a Lincoln back then.
@@anthonygarofalo4151 How can you not?! 😊

Never do anything to mess up the relationship with that woman. She is gold. Gold I tell you. Bless her.
I been saying chitty chitty bang bang all these years not knowing it was a movie . 😂😂😱

AGREED!
Don't forget about Herbie!
not clubber or absent minded professor they were out before this was.
What about Kitt from Knight Rider?
Delorean is the best

He looks like the Original Singer for Journey! lol I was waiting on him to start singing "Open Arms"
Open Arms?? What about _Oh, You, Pretty Chitty Bang Bang, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, We love You!_ LOL XD

I always have said if I win the lottery I will buy chitty. Best film everrrrrr
Congratulations!!!! (From ARGENTINA)

That woman said it is extraordinary my dear it is not just extraordinary. It's uncategorical, a fuel burning oracle, a fantasmigorical machine
At 0:43, if he were British, I'm guessing he would've said… "I was completely gobsmacked!" :-)
Thank you for saving Chitty from the clapper and the fiery furnace.
great see this film when i was 8 years old in 1968 mum and dad took has never forgotten it still watch it now I am 63 now .and I must say you are great 5 years of your life if I had your skills I would build one my self and if your kids don't want it put it in a museum where millions of people can look at what you achieved a nice picture of you beside chitty
It’s a f*cking masterpiece. Ten out of ten out of ten.
Love the car, and that children's book of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang brought back a lot of memories as I had forgotten that I had that book as well.
from a builders point of vue- incredibly beautiful!!
Fantastic! I would love to get to ride in Chitty someday! :) Great Job!
I loved that movie, I still remember the songs. What a beautiful job! That is a labor of love... I live in Florida, let me know if you're traveling south anytime soon. Fantastic!
mini version of chitty. original chitty is huge
His girlfriend is everything you want in a partner. Super supportive of your passions.
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
a go-fast car.i always like seeing it in the movie too
Work of art, Well done
That is insane! So cool! :D
Now... to make it into the boat!! :)
Well done good sir. That car to this day is still an all time favorite of mine.
I admire people who have this amount of passion, talent, and the perseverance to see it through.
I can't see anything on that car that is not screen accurate! Tony, you are a master of your craft. If I ever get to meet you, I'm bumming a ride! Rock on.
amazing i love chitty
I couldn't even begin to count the number of times I watched the movie 🎥🍿 since the early seventies.
shame about the bonnet looks like I've been in a crash it's meant to be longer
I agree with your self, if your kids don’t want the car, put it in a museum 👍🏽
That's pretty awesome ! I love to see when people fulfill their dreams !
That, sir, is awesome! One of my favorite movies from my childhood.
Beautiful.
What a beautiful work of kinetic art. Outstanding craftsmanship.
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang was the first movie I ever saw. I got to see it at Grauman's Chinese Theater in 1968
It has wings, because Roald Dahl was an Airforce pilot during WW2. He LOVED flying and great cars.
Ian Flemming's original book had the car flying over traffic which surprised Commander Potts (ret) as it did Cratacus in the movie.
The book illustrations show it growing wings.
Absolutely beautiful! Well done old sport.
Only thing missing is the movie 🍿 sound effects. Chitttty chitttty BANG BANG
I saw the real one in 81 : ) love the car and the movie.
*This is absolutely AMAZING! I've been thinking about Chitty Chitty Bang Bang a lot since I saw the documentary Chitty Flies Again with David Walliams on Channel 4 fairly recently. This the absolute BEST Chitty replica I've ever seen in my life so far! Well bloody done, dude! XD*
What do I have to do to go for a ride. Chitty we love you!
I am glad you did this! Nice to follow your dreams. You are awesome for sure.

I know you probably don't believe this, but I do have that same pedal car now, pristine too! Pines of Italy made it. Cheers again!!

I love this man and his car.
Terrific..Job well done..Can't wait 2 c it on display!!👍
I love it ,Brings back so many memories

Amazing! I had a Chitty, chitty, bang, bang lunch box when I was a kid back then and I sure wished that I had never part with it.
This is my dream car! I want one so bad!
That car is a chitty magnet.
A chitty chitty bang bang car
My god the nostalgia is hitting me like a train
That’s super cool! Legendary car. I vant that cahhh!!
4:30 That's not Ego, that thing needs to be seen and shared. What a beautiful machine
It's a fantastic piece of work, and I only have one little quibble.
She's a little short in the nose. I think the original Chitty is just a tad longer. Other than that, it's an incredible thing that he's built.
Just beautiful.
Wow amazing job. A lot of passion and love in that car
Now that is a motor car. Superb! Well done!
This car should be on Jay's Garage with Jay Leno !
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL❤
Is this guy and car still around in 2022? My autistic son would love to see this, it is one of his favorite movies. We are in New Jersey so not that far!
There is only 1 problem. The sound it makes that gives it, its name!!!
I'm planning on making a boxcar version of the car, then hopefully make a one with a lawn mower
it's more than spectacular,....to use the vernacular!
Oh how well I can understand him.
Congratulations!
This is wonderful. A dream. Thank you for sharing!
Met Tony with the car today. Great story, very cool car....
Beautiful car a job well done on building the vehicle.
It does look a little smaller than the actual car. Still beautiful.
Tony’s girlfriend is beautiful. He’s done well for himself 😏
That s beautiful!!!!!
Oh my goodness 😍 This is phenomenal! Well done you!
I LOVE CCBB ❤ It was the very first movie I ever saw at the cinema - with my family. I was 5 years old 🥰 It left such an impression. Absolutely magical movie 😍
Simply Amazing as I have seen the original GEN 1 and it looks identical.
I never thought about it but I bet the car influenced my love of steampunk.
Splendid. You hero.
Those headlights are amazing 3:07 !
I am speechless I have no words😊
Top job mate well done to you! The world needs more people like you!
