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.
@@anthonygarofalo4151 "hhd to find a right hand drive." The guy is meticulous in his detail and his girlfriend is so supportive. Top job! It's not worth anything, because it's worth everything.
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!!!!
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) .
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.
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).
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.
"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 :-)
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
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!
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
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.
*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*
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.
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!
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 !!!!
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.
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 😍
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!
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.
Wow what a nice job it's absolutely an amazing replica if I do say so myself. It's actually most likely better than the original one. The dedication that must of taken is just something that's kinda hard to grasp. Great job cheers
+Anthony Garofalo thanks for your response. I can honestly say since I've watched the video again I'm just I'm complete awe. The time and workmanship and dedication it must of taken is absolutely out of this world. I had fawn memories of my mom reading chity chity bang bang to me as a young boy. To see this car built the way you did it makes the original kinda look second best.
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
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.
Thank you Mr Garofalo!This was such an inspiration for me also though I've not applied myself like you have to creating something so impressive and in my personal opinion,Artwork of the highest caliber.Thanks!
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
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!!

@@davidmansell5986 nicely said- thank you!
It's great to see someone making their dream into a reality. Never grow up Tony!
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?! 😊

I think the front part of the car is little tad short than the actual model but still awesome
Tony's girlfriend saved the entire comments section!! 😂
Nice one Tony, bless you... It's good to be a GEEK! 🏆🇬🇧
Never do anything to mess up the relationship with that woman. She is gold. Gold I tell you. Bless her.
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).
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
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.

A truly scrumptious recreation! BRAVO 🏆
I been saying chitty chitty bang bang all these years not knowing it was a movie . 😂😂😱
I admire people who have this amount of passion, talent, and the perseverance to see it through.
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!
This is living, This is style, This is elegance by the mile...
Fantastic! I would love to get to ride in Chitty someday! :) Great Job!

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.
Congratulations!!!! (From ARGENTINA)
OK if you can get a girlfriend who looks like that building this car, then it was well worthwhile
At 0:43, if he were British, I'm guessing he would've said… "I was completely gobsmacked!" :-)

Met Tony with the car today. Great story, very cool car....
Beautiful car a job well done on building the vehicle.
What do I have to do to go for a ride. Chitty we love you!
This is my dream car! I want one so bad!
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!
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.

Wow what a nice job it's absolutely an amazing replica if I do say so myself. It's actually most likely better than the original one. The dedication that must of taken is just something that's kinda hard to grasp. Great job cheers

Simply Amazing as I have seen the original GEN 1 and it looks identical.
I couldn't even begin to count the number of times I watched the movie 🎥🍿 since the early seventies.
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang was the first movie I ever saw. I got to see it at Grauman's Chinese Theater in 1968
That s beautiful!!!!!
Beautiful!!
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.

Splendid. You hero.
absoluty amazing
shame about the bonnet looks like I've been in a crash it's meant to be longer
That's really good. Very well done!!
Those headlights are amazing 3:07 !
It does look a little smaller than the actual car. Still beautiful.
Wonderful replica. Great job sir.‼️‼️‼️
I never thought about it but I bet the car influenced my love of steampunk.
This is amazing!!! Love it!!!
Incredible!
It's a fantastic piece of work, and I only have one little quibble.
