Used to have a '69 Ford Chateau 123 window van. 3/4 ton with 1 ton package. 302 CU, 1 ton brakes, suspension, C6 auto trans, 4.56 posi rear end. Was a beast of a vehicle. First learned how to do brakes on that thing. BIg springs. Big shoes. Got driver's license with it. Had a steering wheel the size of a dinner table. Manual steering..
The good old days
Some great one wheel peels from those Fords.
That's just a typical with open diffs. Getting both sides to spin is hit and miss.
Thank god for TV magic there is no way those old Fords could do a Smoke show like that unless the car had really bald tires or the TV crew put oil on the right rear tire
@@rogerstlaurent8704Police interceptor 460 had plenty of tire smoke potential
@@rogerstlaurent8704Yes they could.Ad said 460 Police interceptor .no.problems at all smoking up.
The body roll was ridiculous on those full size Fords
I have a 74 Galaxie 500 and the thought of driving it like that is terrifying.
The police car version handled pretty good for its size. I had a 76 with the 460 in it. Ran like hell😂
My first car was a 73 4-door Ford LTD Brougham. Interesting for the ones for Police use had the outer part of those 73-74 wheel covers painted black.
That was a real 1971 Plymouth Road Runner! What a shame...
383 Heni. 🤣
Adam 12 had a helluva chase with a '70-'71 Cyclone GT, should you ever discover it!
I upload that chase over 5 years ago and re-uploaded a cleaner picture quality version just last month. Both videos were blocked by Universal Studios and can not be viewed in the US and Canada. That chase also has the original Pontiac GTO that was used in Two Lane Blacktop which was the bigger interest in me uploading that chase.
@@CarChaseWonderland2too bad it's been blocked
@6:42 those kids can run _FAST!_
DAMN nice catch those Kids were running faster than the car LOL
@@rogerstlaurent8704I saw that too!!
@@mitch4527 once you see it you can"t stop watching it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Always did like watching these old shows
That Plymouth/LTD sequence was short but well choreographed.
The Rookies, SWAT, Starsky & Hutch, Police Story, and Charlie's Angels all used those Ford LTD's and Chevy Impala's
That fuzz wagon is like ridding a pig at the kentucky derby
My 460 Thunderbird could hardly spin a wheel because they stuck them with 2 something gears.
I'd love to get one of these big old barges and spend an afternoon powersliding around a parking lot with it just for fun. I imagine it won't be quite the same without those old bias-ply tires that had zero cornering grip, though.
Michael Parks and Steven Keats!
Started out one Adam-12 end up being the rookie how we making smoke the tires like that on such a big car we add brake fluid on the tires to make it smoke real good and the sounds that your hearing we had later most of the time we get the sounds from Camaros are Trans-Am just saying
Got to have loads of smoke off rear hides
I'd really love to know what version of Gimme Shelter is playing at the end of this man's videos.
Yes
That brown ford has the magnum haha
No vandam way did i just heard that guy say he's got 383 hemi is not true as in 71 you could have 440 big block or 426 hemi gtx car but a roadrunner had 383 small block there's no such thing as 383 hemi so who's the writer of this movie really did not know cars or mopars at all 😂😂.
Neither do you, smart ass. The 383 is not a small block. It's a low deck big block.
I had a good laugh at "383 Hemi". 😆
Funny for sure, but the 383 ain't no small block. It's a wedge like the 440 but low-deck & smaller bore/stroke.
@davkin4278 Well, thank you sir and yes it's very funny 🤣🤣.
@@UberLummox oh my mistake 😅 but thanks for correcting me.
383 Hemi?
383 hemi is very funny.
Adam 12 intro lol
Reed & Malloy sure have changed!
2-11 in progress 😆lol
@@20alphabet Yeah lol, for a minute I was about to say, "they used 1973 Galaxies in adam 12? I don't remember that episode and I've seen em all"
@@Richard-Allen all the cars used in 1 adam 12 were Chrysler like you said never seen a Ford in any episode
@@rogerstlaurent8704 well there were some background montego's that were real LAPD units on loan for producing, adam 12 would've had a montego but the lapd told jack webb not to because the car sucked which I find hard to believe since they came with the 429 v8 and a 429 montego 4 door hardtop is literally my dream car, never heard a had thing about them.
8:39 383 HEMI, Hahahahaha
Wow those things handled so bad back then! Might be because the supensions are shot being old cop cars and being used by Hollywood, or that's just how they wallowed & handled.
even brand new those old land yachts handled like that as for the burnouts those cars were Choked out with pollution control BS and all the V8s went from a 4 barrel to a 2 barrel carb so doing a burnout was nearly impossible to do on a normal Mom and Dad car the cars you seen in the Rookies doing Burnouts the TV crew probably poured oil on the tire for a WOW TV effect in reality those big old boats were just a 5000 pound slugs
Well yes and no. The patrol car had to be reliable, few maintenance problems and ability to do the job. It didn't have to be the fastest around as few things can beat the police radio or helicopter. For speed, specifically the hwy patrol cars sometimes were optioned with the biggest engine available with heavy duty suspension. The basic design and ability of those 60s-70s police cars didn't radically change much going into the 80s-2000s either.
Stingray 1985 , 65 Corvette Stingray chased by helicopter with machine gun
383 HEMI😂
Super rare! Too bad it got wrecked; worth a fortune today.
Kills me.....😂
LMAO, no such thing as a 383 hemi!!😂
383 hemi?
