The late 90's and the early 2000's were a great time to be alive.
Definitely!
I wish I could've been there especially for the tuner scene !
Amen
Hell yes, I bought my dream car escort Cosworth took it to 530bhp and still own it till this day as so many others sold theirs and regretted it, I just kept mine thankfully.
@@josephcrisamore5098the tuner scene was amazing. I miss the Nopi times
I'd like to know how stupid that guy feels now knowing he junked Letty's 240SX back then and how much it means now.
I'd like to see his face knowing he got a few hundred dollars on the scales vs today that a rolling shell would fetch him over $10k. I hate to see the car junked
This man will film a 12 minute video and then 2 minutes in start talking about “after the break” bro we just started😭
First 2 mins wears me out, I needed that break. I could have used another, but I powered through
R.I.P. Hero 1 240SX :(
Man…what I wouldn’t give for just one more Friday and Saturday night in the early 2000s😕
You can say that again
“Its just a movie” i think its more than that it actually got millions of people into cars and changed everything about cars its legacy inspired thousands of projects and new ideas to come to light!!
That scene where 3 out of the 4 cars pulling up to Toretto's were Nissans was what sold me on the brand at 16 years old.
Nice cars!
Toyotas and Hondas are better cars though.
More reliable! 😉
I’ve been hooked on Volvos ever since one saved my dad’s life.
@@Kev27RS cool cars>>>reliable cars
@@louiedelatorre1667 Yes & No…
@@imvivalamilo my parents had volvos 240 and 245 when i where a kid.
Would love to own a 240 they start to get rair but pricy in the area im at.
I seriously hate what happened to the fast and furious. Went from car people racing and having a good ol time to only action like 007 and such. REST IN PEACE P.W. 🙏
flying into outer space too I think, waiting on the Star Wars franchise to take over
Whomever bought the car KNOWING its the original movie car to strip it, its a certified scum bag. He couldve bought ANY other car.
Havent seen ANY of them after Tokyo Drift, nor do I care too.
Once the cars stopped being the Stars, i was OUT
Saw FF1 5 times in the cinema at the time with my Car Club ALONE
Was a great time
As rasta racer said "another one bites the dust"
When Letty gets out of the car she almost pulls the face of the front of the s14 LOL
The reason why I own a s14 kouki now . I was 9 years old when I saw the first movie and fell in love with letty and her car .
... and paid over price for it
Lettys Silvia was one of my favourites from the first film
That s14 was so nice 😭
I can’t thank God enough for giving the opportunity to grow up in the 80/90/00’s greatest two decades in history
They went from speed and performance to complete call of duty, with the franchise.
When I graduated high school in 1999 I bought a 1991 240SX SE hatchback as a gift to myself, and in 2001 I found a white on black 1996 240SX at a stellar deal so I grabbed that up. I miss those cars man. I know everyone has regrets and letting those go are mine
@@ACommenterOnUA-cam hell yeah!
I bought my first one in 2001 also graduated in 99 how about that
The Schassis curse
@@supers0nic77 that’s pretty cool to me. What was your 240?
midnight club hoody gives bonus point
Man I miss forums. Most things similar on social media these days is toxic. Forums actually help and I still fix my cars with them today
In the ones I've been in, i had the opposite experience. Depends on which car groups though
@@supers0nic77 What year were you looking at these forums? Because in the 2000's I remember everyone being helpful as long as you asked your question in the right thread and if you didn't then they'd share the link to put you in the correct thread where your question has already been answered
Imagine re releasing the movie with all the correct engine/exhaust sounds 😮
$6,400 in 2000 is just over $11,000 today.
I know the later movies got away from the tuner culture but I’d love to know about the Hakosuka Skyline from Fast Five.
Believe it was one of paul walkers personal cars from his AE garage collection
You hit the nail on the head on why Iv lost interest in the movie 🤦🏻♂️
What if in fast and furious x part 2, the pizza guy comes back as villain 😂💀
The pizza guy is actually the director of the first movie too
@@thatsjimmii Wow I didn't know that. Thanks for the info 👍
That’s 2 Nissans lost to the crusher :(
even at just a car i never understood why so many people go the route of crushing them cause a lot of people would be looking for just a shell to build into what they want to build it too a lot of people will part cars out due to minimal rust. Its almost like some people just want to make sure there are less and less of them 20 years from now lol the only reasons our cool cars are getting rare is because people treat everything like shit and scrap so many good cars and chassis.
This shows how undervalued the S-Chassis was back then.
watch Herbie Fully Loaded they had the VW Bug falling on an S13.
@@kmena05you should watch the junkyard seen again and you will see the rolled 70 Charger from F&F 1 in the background.
I wish the world could go back to no Internet and stupid social media. Much better genuine times.
A crime was committed to the 240sx hero 1.
That car would've sold for 6 figures now days, the guy who took it apart 🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂
love the midnight club hoodie 😊
It's a shame that Midnight Club was absorbed into GTA. I liked it's style!
I bought the letti hero car from the junkyard after it was crushed, i am in the process of uncrushing it
Document process here.
🧢
Proof. Give us a video
Nuts that someone would gut a car for no reason then scrap a perfectly good chassis regardless if it was "just a car" or a movie car. Here in the rust belt we hang onto fred flinstone rust buckets as long as we can lol
Damn shame about that car getting crushed. Smh.
the 240 sounded like a 2jz because they new that engine was the future of s-chassis swaps
sold to be a parts car and tossed in the yard
that shit is so sad
i really hate that old cars are just scrapped and killed for no reason other than they arnt new
.. they are also not replaceable.
5:28 the difference the color grade makes is wild
Love these videos.
SR20 swaps were pretty rare in the early 00's. I still remember seeing my first S13 SR-swapped video. It was a red hatch that was blowing away every car it raced. By Aug 2004 I bought my white S13 hatch for $750 with a barely running engine.
Just an F.Y.I. it was Bimmerforums. BMW cars are called Bimmers. BMW motorcycles are Beamers.
@@ACommenterOnUA-cam Not in the early 00's. Most were doing Honda swaps or modifying turbo cars from the factory, particularly the Eclipse.
@@ACommenterOnUA-camWhere was this in the US?
@@ACommenterOnUA-cam Just as I suspected. Either CA or FL.
It was very rare outside of those two states at the time. The JDM importers setup shop in thode 2 states for obvious reasons. The red 240 I cited in my original post was from FL.
I'm 46. I went through it from the beginning. Here in Maryland, they were very rare. SR swaps were pretty expensive, too, due to all the parts needed to get one running in the US chassis. Front clips were much more preferred.
I joined 240SX-specific forums in early 2004 and distinctly remember how few of the members had SR swaps. Why? Because I needed to do a swap in my 240 because I bought it with a blown engine.
That shell now is at least 5k
Harry's Lightning & DiVera's Civic from part 1 remain my favorite vehicles from the franchise. Other cars from the movie show up at the Petersen Museum in L.A. from time to time...
Furious garage In Florida have that truck as well. Follow their page they show all the cars and builds
That bullet proof F1 car would be pretty sweet to have tho.
James Bond-esq or not.
But if I could have any of the fast cars, it’d be Mia’s black NSX.
I guess it was "too large" for the adrenaline rush 😢
Wow that was tragic. Thanks for the info and cool video Craig!
That's sad, R33 Leona and 240sx Lettys were smashed :-( On these days you could sell them for Giant amount od money
Lettys car is so underrated compared to the supra and rx7. the body kit and color was perfect for Letty
Back when F&F wasn't a Mopar commercial.
The filter in the original fast and furious it’s something I never thought before it really made it better
Weird that the hero car is gone now, but both stunt doubles survive.
So weirdly nostalgic ! My eyes were watering the whole time I'm watching this video... FF1 had such an impact on my life..
Not a big car guy especially tuner cars but this is a shame .
I wonder if the 240 shell had been wrecked or had some hidden damage or something. Hard to imagine someone crushing a good shell for no reason, movie car or not.
happens all the time. These cars don't mean anything to a lot of people.
@@ClumsyCars agreed my neighbor had a sweet sti hawkeye shell that just got cut up and sent to the junker
It happens sometimes, sure, but not all the time. Most people that have a car like this know what it is and aren't going to crush it unless there's a good reason too. Especially am enthusiast who already stripped all the good parts off the car.
The seats in the 240 change during the race wars scene
Shout out to the Midnight Club shirt
The blitz 03 😍
That’s a real shame
Yeah after fast 4 it was never about the car scene it just became an action franchise the first 3 were my favorite because it was more involved with the car scene and that's why I liked fast and the furious but too bad it's about the money not the race scene
Another great video. I enjoy all the stories from these cars.
Awesome job Craig !
I loved those dual 5 spoke wheels so much I got them for my 1991 passat in the early 2000s! That car looked so good and never even take a pic of it!
YOU ARE THE MAN!!! Craig Lieberman.
Rip. I always liked those 240’s.
Another great episode Craig, thanks for sharing this information to us F&F fans ☺️ too bad the actual hero car is now dead. I remember noticing that during race wars there was also a 'seats mistake' where at the beginning Letty's 240 has bucket seats while before the race it's stock seats!! Glad the other two 240s still exist too 👍🏼👍🏼
Great explanation at the end! It’s the greed of movie production companies why the fast movies are not about cars anymore. We diehard car enthusiasts are such a small group of viewers compared to the rest of the world. It doesn’t make as much money when it’s solely about the cars. So, sadly there will never be another movie strictly about cars.
Why would someone do that to the hero car 🤦🏻
girl friend told him to junk it
The S14 Kouki has been in my top ten since 97'
that car would've been worth something. why strip all the parts. maybe it was in a crash idk
Back in 2016 I was a senior in high school and I was falling in love with JDM cars. I found a guy who had an SR20DET swapped Zenki with a Kouki front swap. He was asking $6500 and I was a broke high school student so I borrowed some from my mom and traded my Oldsmobile 😂 I no longer own that car and I've been looking on marketplace and a similar car goes for $20k now. Insane how the JDM market has inflated so much
Thank you Craig!
My pleasure!
Save you guys 12min… the car was crushed at a wrecking yard after the dude took the engine out. Your welcome
😭
I have to know more about the 81 Isuzu I-Mark. My first car was an 86 I-Mark
These videos on the F&F cars are content you couldn't dream of getting 20 years ago.
I've always loved the color. It popped so well in the movie.
I agree. The silver doesnt look good.
I remember seeing car casting call posts coming up on the forum I was on I believe it was for 2 fast, Still on the forums these days you just can’t get all thy knowledge collected over the decades through face groups. I miss the ride of the month and year contests !
Dude who parted out the car played himself...
As always, thank you Craig for another video packed with f&f trivia goodies. Also I have a question for you. I've been working on a car show time machine on my computer, currently going as far back as 1994. Is it possible, can you tell me what calendar days F&F1 started and finished filiming? (Especially when it started?). Thanks in advance.
i watch your channel all the time and people swear they know what they're talking about when fast and the furious comes up lol this channel is bad ass man keep it up
Craig, your hoodie that's you're wearing, is that the same Midnight Club from the video game back in 2000?
Are you referring to the game the civic racer was playing before the race in the first movie?if so that was gran turismo
The midnight club was a real japanese racing club that the game was based on.
I got it from the Midnight CLub guys when I was in Belgium a few months ago.
Sick @@craiglieberman
Crushed a kouki? What a rere they're worth so much now lmao
I just want Leon's R33 :(
Leon should make a comeback! With an R33!
It was destroyed too.😢
Hey Craig, thank you for really putting so much effort into all this digging up you're doing. Any idea which super street magazine mentioned at 9:29 release this was? I've been searching on and off this this copy and just spent a few hours digging with no luck. Not sure if reaching out direct to them will help, but I will try anyways. Thanks you for giving out all this info!
DM me on my instagram. We'll talk
Hey there, I can check but I want to say it’s the November ‘01 issue
i had a bright yellow slammed square body s10 with 18s that i drove back in high school. my s10 minitruck was a gift from my grandmother back in 2003 i still had until this past May when it and my fox body were both stolen and sold to a junkyard. my s10 was crushed before i could stop them and they were trying to sell my mustang. i had the s10 for 20 years and the mustang was one of my dream cars i got it in 2009 so, i had it about 15 years. i know the owner did it to the movie car, but to have someone steal mine and sell it and it be crushed is a whole nother type of pain.
It’s just any car, it’s a 240! Not just any 240 the Mona Lisa of the car world!
Awesome Sweatshirt, Craig!
Didnt think Letty was too hot till the photos like this at 6:24 & 7:40 (front of the car). Have mercy! She was beautiful in that shoot.
And that magenta filter was such a vibe maan talkin about this movie brings me back to the better times of my childhood and i just start to cry
The HOK -qt stands for quart. No need to add the -pt, -qt etc.
I remember that iteration from a super street issue. Man what a time capsule. 9:25
I miss when UA-camrs didn't have a good portion of their video as ads
UA-cam is getting is silly with the ads.
@@craiglieberman
I think he's moaning about your sponsorship section.
Personally I don't mind it as if it helps good content to still come to us for free!
Last I knew that some of the fast cars . We're just rotting as a display at universal them park
Would've loved to hear Letty's nissan and that Rasta's RX7 raw engine/exhuast sound in race wars.
Imagine if it wasn't easier to blow a sr than to boil water, that S14 would still be with us whole.
So true, I remember a friend got dumped by his girl, got in his NICE example, smashed the gas pedal down and grenaded the engine before he even got to the stop sign. MAYBE a quarter mile.
Craig, is there anywhere to acquire/pay for production stills from the movie(s)? I've seen them in your videos and littered around the Internet for near 15 years. A lot of them are genuinely neat and frame-on-wall worthy. As an art collector, car enthusiast, and photographer of 27 years I was curious so any and all info would be appreciated.
Uploads other than yours (e.g, online print stores or Pinterest) have really sh!tty pixelated ones I wouldn't bother with.
That 240sx is worth like 25k on fbm 😂 and probably more since it was a fast 1 car
Where did you get that hoodie ?
One of the few cars that actually looked better in the movie.
Amazing Video....❤❤❤
Where’d you get your sweater Craig?
It was a gift when I was in Belgium for a car show
Craig, you da man!!! 👍🏾👍🏾
You rock!
Brotha I almost bought a chevy cavalier from 2 fast 2 furious years ago and it was a POS! But it atleast had a quad four chevy engine in her
