The funniest thing is that the car was only 5 years old at the time of filming the Blues Brothers in 1979, yet it's worn to the point that it easily looks 25 years old! This is a great replica!
You know that saying, one man's trash, is another man's treasure. In your case for the prop aspect, it's one man's treasure, is your dash trash. Lol. Beautiful job on this one Bob. The crew knocked it out of the park.
My favorite movie as well. I sneaked into the family room and watched it in Cinemax in 1981. I have seen this movie at least 50 times. Blues brothers is the reason I drove old 4 door junk cars for all my life!
It needs dual exhaust and the spotlight to be closer to what it was. We tried for years to get one back when you could still find them. I won tickets to the movie on the radio when it was new and had a bunch of extra stuff they gave out. Those things with a cop 440 had a sound all to themselves. I could always tell when a Mopar cop car was close by. Those bodies were used in Dodge and Plymouth just by changing the badge and maybe changing some of the trim and interior pieces. They were damned fast for such a heavy car and had all kinds of cooling add ons and extra duty parts like the biggest alternator Chrysler made, possibly the huge 100 amp version that took a special mounting setup and extra heavy wiring to run it. I'm not sure if the 100 was available then but it probably was just coming out. I got one from a cop Diplomat from the early 80s with a police 318 in it and one like it is still in my 69 Dart. It can jump start about anything.
@@CycolacFan It's been a long time but I got Blues brothers buttons, a wrap sheet on them, and all kinds of goodies. I tried to save it all but not sure what happened to most of it now. I may have it stashed in the old desk I had in my room back then but who knows all these years later.
@@RobertMoseley I don't think I need to teach you anything about it. You are probably having a hard time trying to find any of these cars now so you use what you can find. The old style spotlights are hard to find now too. I have one my little sister pulled off her 82 Cop Diplomat back a few years after she bought it from a police auction in Washington across the river from here. You said it needed a spot light, but with the small block it wouldn't have gotten duals so you built it as is and painted it up to match the movie car. You can always add duals and a spot light down the road if you want. I don't have a Monaco, I have a old 69 Dart Western Sport Special I bought in 79 with a 383 nose with 63k for 550 and the original 318. It needs a carb rebuild and some minor wiring fixed to run again. It does have a 9800 Thermo Quad on it and a lot of 340 and suspension upgrades but it's been sitting a while.
Great job you guys really captured the look of the car very well. Reminds me of the old saturday night live (when it was funny) with Dan Akyroyd where they make your car look crappy to prevent theft.
We always go to E 95th to calumet fisheries. My grandfather always took us there. And I took my children, and will my grandchildren I'm hoping. And yes a classic film. Man..... I was 9 years old and this was the 1st rated R movie we got on beta max. I believe the wild bunch was the 1st. But blues brothers brings back all night nostalgia😊👍👍👍👍
"Yes, do you have a Miss Piggy?" There were sill a few bits of the Dodge emblem left on the Bluesmobiles flip-down gas lid. See the Ray's Music Exchange scene...
Had a 74 duster where you had to unplug the wiring harness under the driver's seat if you wanted to drive without a seatbelt. My mom would always start the car from the outside because of the seatbelt starter interlock.
All 1974 cars had the ignition interlock . you can thank Congress for that .my wife's 74 cutlass supreme had it .lasted one model year . they did have some emission controls back then but very basic
Thanks very very very much,for making me smile, while you brought me back to the blues Brothers car I love all your videos keep up the great work Video Bob, keep them coming 😇✌️✌️✌️. PS, love the phone let me know if anyone ever answers you.
i myself would have taken the mall scene car. great movie. favorite movie of mine. love the special edition version of the move the most. great replica. for me i would want one that is as authentic as possible.
that trunk gave me a little laugh. my second car was a 69 Fury and its exactly the same inside, even the lid popped up quick like that. sides of the trunks were all rusted out. gas tank was rusted out. rear headlights were candy ass like this one. they would randomly pop out of the housings and i would have to pop them back in, they also died out a lot. i had a box of spare bulbs in the trunk because i replaced them so regularly.
103 cars destroyed in the 1980 film, 104 cars destroyed in Blues Brothers 2000. Blues Brothers held the record for the most cars smashed until its own sequel deliberately destroyed just one more. For the 1980 film’s main chase, 60 police cars were bought for $400 a piece, and outfitted with reinforced chassis. Most of the cars were unsalvageable by the time filming was over.
These are getting so hard to find, here in the UK you've more chance stepping in rocking horse s**t. My Uncle in Canada had a 75 and scrapped it. But I'm also a big fan of the Blues Brothers so my 86 Cadillac is a Bluesmobile.
Hate to ask cause I'm sure you get bugged about it all the time, but do you have any 74's around or know where to find one? I'm talking cheap, bottom of the barrel, parts cars. I've seen tons of 76 and 77's popping up but no 74's. I've got a brand new 440 sitting on a stand that I'm itching to drop into a Bluesmobile.
Speed DeMonaco I’ve seen around 12 74 monacos sold in about the last two years and almost all we’re basket cases, I bought one from a gentleman in Akron Ohio last July with no major issues and clean title, you just have to know where to look
You’re a legend man! I’ve always loved the Blues Brothers since I was a kid, and I grew up watching the movie on DVD and listening to the music. Does this car start up well even in the Winter when it’s freezing cold and frosty?
The thing that makes The Bluesmoblie special and unique is that she’s a part of Jake and Elwood’s family. 😌
My favorite movie.
My dad was a Chicago cop and was in the blues Brothers movie I love that movie 🎥
That’s really cool! Can you spot him clearly in the movie?
IT’S A BEAUTIFUL PLACE BOB! 😎😎
that pay phone is as rare as the car
Lol
Yeah what the hell happened to all the payphones...i used to live in a phone booth wtf
The funniest thing is that the car was only 5 years old at the time of filming the Blues Brothers in 1979, yet it's worn to the point that it easily looks 25 years old! This is a great replica!

*"You can fit an awful lot of dead bodies back here."*
I saw that comment coming a mile away xD
I love how the car sounds the exact same as it did in the movie. Shows that it sounded so good it didn't need to be dubbed over.
Nobody does replicas better than Bob's Prop Shop.
I've never seen an old original car start and run exactly as it's supposed to. Kudos to your crew.
I LOOOOOOOVE the Blues Brothers! Ever since I was a kid I’ve watched it and watched it countless times with my dad.
American cars are not like other cars they are the greatest loved the video thx Bob ....AHMED FROM BAGHDAD IRAQ
This must give you and your team great pride on completion... So much attention to detail in recreating an iconic movie prop... 👍
I was an extra in that movie when I was a little kid in Calumet City. Just someone in the crowd.. it's like looking at a time machine at this car.
@@CycolacFan a huge crowd. Really wanted to be one of the kids standing on top of the bluesmobile..
Love your taste with all the movie cars. Especially the blues brothers police cruiser.
Drives a Rolls Royce Phantom as a daily driver and apperciates vintage Dodge Monacos. What a true petrol head!
"No officer! I wasn't drinking! It's a movie fan car, I swear!"
My favorite movie as well. I sneaked into the family room and watched it in Cinemax in 1981. I have seen this movie at least 50 times. Blues brothers is the reason I drove old 4 door junk cars for all my life!

Another awesome build!

Make a video of your car and teach me how to do it right! Thanks!

Nice! Good night uncle Bob
Hey Bob thank you for the information about the car and I love that kind of car myself
Simply The Best You Tube Channel. Awesome Cars & Video Bob is hilarious to go along with it. Great build Bob!

Thanks for the ride along... Great channel and videos!!
love love this video so much. the car sounds great and looks amazing.
Nice restro.
Glad you saved it.
Some of those 440 cars are a sleeper. They're a f****** riot to drive.
Your good at making movie cars keep up the good work!
What a great video I want to show my dad this
Wow! I'd be driving this during weekends and other free days. Not letting the dust collect in a private garage .
"Yes, do you have a Miss Piggy?"
There were sill a few bits of the Dodge emblem left on the Bluesmobiles flip-down gas lid. See the Ray's Music Exchange scene...
What a beauty.
She caught the Katy
Looks good bob you and your guys did a great 👍🏻 job😎🇺🇸
It' remind me when my mother bought a new one out of the display dodge Monaco custom 1974 .
My cans! My precious cans!
Thank you Bob
Had a 74 duster where you had to unplug the wiring harness under the driver's seat if you wanted to drive without a seatbelt. My mom would always start the car from the outside because of the seatbelt starter interlock.
i had a 1974 plymouth duster...always used my seat belt but the safety interconnect was disabled so it would start without using a seatbelt ; )
My first car
All 1974 cars had the ignition interlock . you can thank Congress for that .my wife's 74 cutlass supreme had it .lasted one model year . they did have some emission controls back then but very basic
Love that movie
Video Bob wow thats a real car. Thanks
The saying I always grew up with was "the big truck (car) always wins".
Love it. Great content
Thanks very very very much,for making me smile, while you brought me back to the blues Brothers car I love all your videos keep up the great work Video Bob, keep them coming 😇✌️✌️✌️. PS, love the phone let me know if anyone ever answers you.

Mission from God,BUILD THAT DODGE video bob
Nice video! I recognize the area your driving in...
Nice car
This thing is cool
My grandfather had a blue one too. And look up dodge Monaco now it look like a freightliner sprinter
Those donuts ended better than the RR! Lol
One of these cars was parked in front of Universal Studios for years.
Awesome!!
Videobob I Love the period Correct Weights on the wheels!
i myself would have taken the mall scene car. great movie. favorite movie of mine. love the special edition version of the move the most. great replica. for me i would want one that is as authentic as possible.
4 states trucks sells those spotlights
The 1974 Monaco was actually prepared for a passenger side airbag.Look at the dash.
that trunk gave me a little laugh. my second car was a 69 Fury and its exactly the same inside, even the lid popped up quick like that. sides of the trunks were all rusted out. gas tank was rusted out. rear headlights were candy ass like this one. they would randomly pop out of the housings and i would have to pop them back in, they also died out a lot. i had a box of spare bulbs in the trunk because i replaced them so regularly.
my pappy had a 1977 dodge royal monaco brougham 4 door sedan with 360 non-cop (?) v8 with thermoquad carb & flipup headlight covers
I really loved the movie to. Jake and elwood.

Nice car like old car like duck Hazzard car
Hi Bob, just a quick question - what would be the best way to fix wide fenders to a Chevy Van? I think rivets is not suitable for this...
Big blocks have distributor in the front.
Didn’t the car have Dodge on the back with i think the letter O missing?
These are getting so hard to find, here in the UK you've more chance stepping in rocking horse s**t. My Uncle in Canada had a 75 and scrapped it. But I'm also a big fan of the Blues Brothers so my 86 Cadillac is a Bluesmobile.
I bet there is a spare ballast resistor in the glove box.
If I were you I would've kept it.
Hate to ask cause I'm sure you get bugged about it all the time, but do you have any 74's around or know where to find one? I'm talking cheap, bottom of the barrel, parts cars.

Speed DeMonaco do you have Facebook?
Speed DeMonaco I’ve seen around 12 74 monacos sold in about the last two years and almost all we’re basket cases, I bought one from a gentleman in Akron Ohio last July with no major issues and clean title, you just have to know where to look
All that work just to be hidden away in a private collection, seems kinda crazy.
You’re a legend man! I’ve always loved the Blues Brothers since I was a kid, and I grew up watching the movie on DVD and listening to the music. Does this car start up well even in the Winter when it’s freezing cold and frosty?
Video Bob, what’s your opinion on the B is For Build Eleanor build being stopped, confiscated, and possible suit?
Cant glue the cans to the dash.....they got to be able to fly arround right!
440 is a RB it has the distributor in the front lik the rest of the RB and B engines the "small block" or LA engine has the distributor in the back
They need to bring back the big cars.
Sadly, they won't ever be back.
Its nice yes. I much enjoy its video video blob.
I want one..
Where is there still a pay phone?
They're not gonna catch us.....we're on a mission, from God !
I can't help feeling we are missing the real comment vids!!
