I love the way the t bird bumper goes to smashed to fixed lol

I just, loudly, screamed "Stacey Keech!" In a very quiet library.....thanks for that.

That Thunderbird had a lot of modifications to the suspension for the purposes of this movie. Ford police springs and sway bars and lots more. These were sloppy handling but I loved these beautiful cars. I have driven plenty of them and they ride like a cloud but hit a deep dip in the road too fast and you will bounce the engine crossmember off the pavement.

Moore is probably thinking “where in bloody hell is my Aston Martin?”

T Bird had a massive 460 in it. LTD probably the ol' 351.

That T-Bird had what, like a 7-liter motor with 190hp?

That's right its a 351 Cleveland under that hood.

theyre really treating these big chunks of steel like muscle cars are they

AMC sold a lot of Matadors in SF. that year

The key to a good car chase scene is to pick two oversized American cars that handle like shit

They could have dubbed in something that didn't sound like a 4cyl stick shift for the 460 T-Bird.

Well shit... I would have kept my 77 ltd had I seen this first looks fun lol

The great thing about 1970's Fords (and their marshmallow suspension) is that you could be going 15 mph and the car looks like it's completely out of control.

Man, Keach can drive!

1:38 Come on they couldn't even take the MFG plates off of them for the filming?

Awesome chase his comment must have something special under that hood echoed something many ignored in the US at the time, handling. You will need something special in those wheel wells if you plan to do anything effectively except accelerate in a straight line.

Ooh Ya!! My son says it's James Bond..🥂😀

You need a Dramamine to ride in that Thunderbird

Stacy Keach and Roger Moore, what a couple !

Dame Stacy keach could drive

Having owned both of these pigs years ago, they would both been outmaneuvered and accelerated by those loaded tanker trucks. The continuity errors with the self repairing T bird was just as funny. The 460 in the bird took about 14 seconds to 60. The LTD, maybe 16 seconds assuming a 160 hp 351. This was funny to watch and pathetic at the same time.

Title should be: cars that don't drive well trying to drive well

Back in 1970, Moore was buddied-.up with Tony Curtis for "The Persuaders" TV series. Plenty of car chases in that one -- France, Italy, England. Next, he became J. Bond 007 in 1972. And wwhile doing that, he was teamed-up with Stacey Keach here for another SanFran car chase romp.

A LTD and a Thunder Chicken. The Bird got 8.5mpg

Ah yes. American cars from the 70s. Nothing like 6 liters to get 120hp, 0-60 in a dozen seconds, single digit fuel mileage, road holding to rival the Titanic, grossly over assisted steering, 18 feet long yet smaller inside than a Fiat 128, panel gaps you could put your pinky into, and quality that ensures you’d get at least 60,000 miles out of it as long as you took meticulous care of it and body panels that would rust halfway away after 3 Midwest winters.

Biased crap. Most American cars in the 70's were much better than the imported that really did rust away in a few Midwest winters. Mercedes was one of the few that came close, but wasn't much quicker and as far more expensive. The only thing the imports ( assuming u mean Japanese) had was low prices and better fuel economy in most, but not all cases. I'm tired of the BS .

That Thunderbird looks great.... or did. No seatbelts ???

Try that now and the plastic bumpers would fall off

That man sure looked a lot like the Saint or maybe even a bit like James Bond getting picked up in the Jaguar. lol

I like the way the American Thunderbird sounds like a Fiat when it accelerates.

Somehow I feel a car chase is so much more entertaining when it's between enormous cars with poor handling that rock and bounce all over the place.

Sounds like they need to change the V belt or something tighten them up

@piercehawke8021

For movie work; modifying (tampering with smog devices) the engines for some more power was rather easy, between opening up the exhaust, higher flow intake systems and, swapping in some slightly higher numerical rear ends i.e. going from the 2:50's up to 3:50's.............especially since achieving 100 MPH+ top ends was usually required.

How many times they gonna pass that yellow AMC Matador? Roger Moore must have looked at that T Bird and said, "My God, not another boat chase!"

i got to chaffeur mr keach in a pick up truck some years ago. i collected him at an airport, we spent several hours together. i've always taken it as a compliment to my driving when the passenger feels safe enough to take a nap, like he did.
