@Tobidecai The Mopar 440 and 426 cars pretty much cleaned up on all the others. They were banned by the Chevy guys in some racing events because they couldn't beat them. Look up the history of the Sox and Martin racing team to read about that.
Yes, so there were alot of VW Beetles around that day. Bore me some more will you !Best car chase ever, has atmosphere where others don't and suddenly breaks. Great stuff.
@harpo103 in the 1960's, cops didnt have the organization they have today. and detectives were virtually out there on their own unless they had back up,. Mcqueens chracter was a true cop who hated corruption within and outside of the system so he pissed off police captains and everyone else so they probably didnt give him any backup.
Whew! Possibly the best chase scene ever! I Know McQueen drove the 390 Fastback...but was the other car identical to the "Dukes of Hazzard" 440 Charger?" Anybody know?
They're pretty close. The Bullitt Charger is a 1968 while the Duke's General Lee was suppose to be a 1969. I say "suppose" because they took some 68s and swapped the parts to make them look like 69s. Both of these years are awesome looking although the clean non-split grille and round taillights of the 68 is my fav.
Dukes drove a 69 Charger, this was a 68. The 68s had the round taillights while the 69s were long rectangular. They actually converted a lot of 68s into 69s for the Dukes show. A lot of good Chargers lost their life in that series.
The mustang was a 390, a pig. Factory rated at 330 hp, it probably was overrated by 100hp. A great ford engine was the 428 cobra jet. The Charger was a 440 wedge engine- not a hemi. In real life that 390 boat anchor wouldn't have got within a mile of a Charger R/T.
quite right , it was a 426 and the 440 in a way was better at street level is it was more even through the torque curve , the hemi had to be revved faster to get the right amount of optimum power , and no the 390 gt wouldn't have been able to keep up even with a 440, and fords handling wasn't as good either , cheap cartsprings at the back = oh dear !
I saw a documentary of the chase scene. They souped up the mustang, but the bone stock Charger left it like it was dragging an anchor. Unfair advantage: a 440 magnum vs. a 390 boat anchor. Also making things more difficult was McQueen's insistence on driving himself- he wasn't in the same league as the stunt driver in the Dodge.
Yeah I never understood why mcqueen wanted to drive it himself...theres nothing wrong with letting a stunt driver (who drives for a living) do the driving.
If you look into the history of McQueen you'll see he was VERY heavy into racing himself and driving the cars. There's no way he'd let a stunt driver do it.
Although if I were him I'd have chosen the Charger and put the bad guys in the Ford.
best chase sver but they messed up, i know it just a movie but how they get from ft mason to mansell that fast?Remember how mansell on th oter side of th city? IN john Mclaren park btw vis valley and the excelsior
cars made in the U.S (my opinion of course) The new Mustang looks like the old one cause why?? They looked so good then..groovy scene...good thing no hippies got hit in the chase..haha!!
So, how may times do they pass that same green Volkswagen, and beige Pontiac LeMans? And what about these skid marks that were already there? Rehersal takes? Hmmmmm.
They make a remake of this movie with the current Charger ( the best looking car ever built) and the current Mustang ( the best looking Mustang ever built).
i want a 68' charger rt badly,the new one is embarassing next to the old one,engine noise too,we really have gone backwards.the new charger has a awd option,why?they should not even call it a charger.
Yeah the new Charger should have been called a Coronet. The Coronet was a B-Body and came in both a 2-door and 4-door. A few of the 4-doors had the big blocks. I still can't figure out why they haven't bothered to make a 2-door Charger. Even if it looked like the current Charger it would sell well.
Mmmm, '68 Fastback *drowns in own drool*

did any one see a red R/T badge in the one scene, was fuzzy,wish there was a HD version
the stang i thought was a 390 4speed
shifting was very weird,
CHARGER if it was a R/T probably 440-4 auto
4.10 83/4 rear.
I HOPE THEY DONT MAKE ANOTHER ONE ,DAMN MOVIES DESTROYING CLASSICS

Although the story of this movie was not
strong enough, but everyone remember
the Ford- Mustage(1968), Steve McQueen and it's music background. Overall, this is a really great classic movie of 60'
I had visited to several locations of the movie 6 times in three years. I really
enjoy the atmosphere of this movie
with excellence music background.
