With air vents on the side and bonnet and a black grill and GTS wheels and I think it's also an HT GTS, then changes back into the 186 six cyl HG Monaro at the end of the chase through the bush!!

@@saxongreen78 If it's a high compression 4.2ltr 253 V8 then it doesn't need diesel on the road, with a manual gear change you floor the accelerator, drop the clutch in first gear and it gives power, plus turning right or a U turn gives the rear right wheel less weight and traction.

@@david.m.304 Aye, true enuff...I guess I am a little jaundiced by a family experience with one - it was being re-ringed to correct high oil consumption when it was discovered that the block was _porous_ and the bores intractably pitted...it got sold soon after reassembly. 😯
The Victoria Polices unmarked Kingswoods used by the Dee’s were 253 V8’s with 3 on the tree manuals, l worked for a few Holden and Ford dealers around Melbourne in the day and they were delivered in this spec, when l worked for Collins Chrysler in Melbourne we had quite a few used ex Vic Pol Kingswoods on the used car lot for sale and l remember getting one for a good price the Detectives usually got the 253’s & were the unmarked cars
maybe...maybe it was like the Mustang in "Bullitt"...they went through 4 or 5 cars in the scene...but at least they went to the trouble of getting cars that looked the same...lol.
My understanding from back in the day was they needed to pad out the episode length without recalling the actors or adding scripted lines so they filmed extra car chase scenes but for whatever reason the valiant previously used was not available.

Nothing like bongos to heighten the tension.
Haha, that's hilarious. Luckily (and mysteriously), there was not one other vehicle travelling on any of these streets during the entire chase!
ikr..
@@zzzbbbooo Apart from the vehicle filming them. So, three cars in the whole of Melbourne hahahaha
It's hilarious how there's no actual damage to the VC, yet the 'impact' throws the driver out his door! 😆👍
Lightning Len...waited any longer and the bongo player would have buggered off to the pub in disgust! 😁
The car being chased switches between a VC valiant and an AP6 valiant
That's what I thought...I thought at first it's AP5 or VC...then next scene I'm identifying it as AP6...I just thought I'd looked at it wrong.
They did this with mad lock police when in one chase a zg fairlane keeps changing into an xa or b falcon.
Well, It is going back in time.
@@simonmorris3964 Yeah...I saw that one, too! (The XA was brand new at the time - I'm guessing AVIS had run out of 'em on their second go at shooting the chase.)
@@saxongreen78 Valiant only supplied Crawford Productions with two wagons to "waste"!
I remember Peters icecream
The era before steady-cam, was _brutal_ for us viewers!
Frontend keeps changing on the Val
No VCR ‘s to worry about in 1969!
tim priddy Yep. Magically changed from a VC to an AP6. Then back again. Amazing.
Lol. Yep VC to AP6 Regal back to VC again
others picked that up...me, I just thought at first my eyes had gone funny..
Couldn’t drive a greasy nail into a pound of butter
Different George Miller from MFSR. I worked for Crawford Productions 1966-1968.
nice gig.. Hector, who looked a little like Gough Whitlam or Sir John Kerr, was really somebody in Australian whos-who those days...conducting his orchestra..
@@KateLicker Hector always had a fine head of hair. And always dignified.
Bongo music AND a Bongo van
This would be pre steadicam.
Better than stuff on tv today
You can say that again spot on .

I'm assuming the HT is auto given where the gear shift is located. but I noticed the V8 badge at 023 as well.
My ex police CM Valiant had a pocket for the magnetic light in the lest hand kick panel.
HT V8 Powerglide.
in comes the bongo-music at 0:25...love it.
Nice touch the DOA tumbling out on the road at the end..
what is the other instrument here, apart from bongos and trombone? the click-click thing?
Good taste in music hard to find these days
Like how the car just touches the tree, then door opens and the driver falls out. Don't look like any damage done to the car.
no seatbelts, no continuity (changing cars all the time) no worries!!!!
It's a VC...no, it's an AP6...no wait, it's a VC... *BANG!*
No seatbelts is probably the only thing that's true to life.
The old smashed windscreen ?
They used to use grafting paper to make it appear smashed.
ooops...looks like another faulty Takata air-bag..
...they were called 'steering columns' back then - almost failsafe (if death from chest compression is the desired result, that is.) 😯
I like how the valiants grill changes to a completely different model at 1:04 !!!! And then at 1:32 it changes back to the way it was before!!!
Yep, from a 1967 VC series to a 1966 AP6 series! I wonder how that happened? Hmmm.
@@david.m.304 Obviously 2 cars but why? Maybe Don Barker may know! He was driving them! He's still with us isn't he?

Serves them bloody well right, no bloody airbags.

The bloke driving the valiant would latter become a detective on homicide
...after he recovered from his injuries! 😉
Don Barker. A lot of Crawford Actors where bad guys first.
Gerard Kennedy, Norman Yemm.
@@mrsgritoli1 Leonard Teale is another, he was a baddie twice in Homicide season 1, before 'switching sides' in season 2, as their longest serving.
@@mrsgritoli1I worked with Norman Yemm on The Sullivan's with Crawford's Bud Tingle was our director..all great people
Interesting how the streets were deserted of cars.
Deserted of citizens too !
He should have done a quick stop so that they crashed into the back of him and popped the airbags. Lol
Anybody else notice the VC wagon became an AP6 wagon? Mopar biatches.
HT Kingswood with a 253/308ci V8.
Probably a ratshit 253...diesel on the road for smoke effect. 😊

This HT is Powerglide two-speed auto.
Slant 6 beaten by a 186 ... yea mate every day for sure !
Looks like the HT has a V8 badge on the front mudguard -- the crossed chequered flags. Probably a 253

Talk like this used to be so common, now the youth dont talk about cars as much.
No sirens ? No traffic.
why does i t change from ap6 to vc did they crash one

Is that Bill Hunter in the Valiant?
Looks like Don Barker, who later became one of the Homicide detectives.

Love to know where in melb this was filmed
Albert Park and Port Melbourne.
