Great car.
Needs an 8-Track tape player with The Best of Sam & Dave 8-Track tape in it!!!!!!!!!!!!
yea i was just gonna say that...wuth the tape deck custom installed in the center vent hack job elwood style
It's got a cop motor, a four cubic inch plant, it's got cop tires,
cop suspension, cop shocks, it was a model
made before catalytic converters so it'll
run good on regular gas.
Excellent build, VideoBob!!!
Love that kinda of car. Those 1970 Dodge cars were very good. In the Blues Brothers they smashed up the cars in the chase.
Did you fix the cigarette lighter?
Brian Collins good one👌👌👌👍👍👍👊👊👊😱😱😱😵😵😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Lol!
we're still working on that, timing belt, easy, cleaning the carburetor, piece of cake, cigarette lighter, man difficult stuff.
The light was Yellow, sir
they were practically "giving" them away!
IT's 106 miles to Chicago we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, its dark and we're wearing sunglasses..
hit it!
Great car, the carbs a Carter thermoqud not an edelbrock...fwiw
10:59 the way Americans say Australia though!
Phone number on rear quarters is wrong. The speedometer, while it IS A 140MPH speedo, is not the correct one for the police monaco. On the original one, some numbers were bigger than others. I owned CHP 1974 and 1977 Monacos. The original bluesmobiles made for the movie were cars from the TV show CHiPs, which were previously CHP cars.
My buddy bought a 72 Monaco ex state police car supposedly. It had a 2bbl on it and it was very quick for a huge car. It was yellow and he let me drive it a few times and it was pretty impressive. I think we timed it with a watch and it did 0 to 60 in just over 7 seconds I think. It actually idled like it had a minor cam in it and had way more power than a factory 383 4bbl 67 Monaco he'd had just before it. One time I got to drive it to my house with him and I pulled out of the gas station on the 2 lane street leading to my house and he told me to jump on it. I was doing close to 60 in the few blocks to the turn to my street and even with the big 2bbl that thing howled like a Thermo Quad. Just as I got close I anchored the brakes to slow down and turn right and a local motorcycle cop came flying up from the opposite side street on my left. His head was on a swivel and he almost dropped his bike looking around . He didn't even look at us as I made my right and we put it in my garage just in case. I guess having a 4 door government looking non descrypt quiet car was a plus back then 😉
How many of these have you built now and I bet when you started they were a lot easier to find. I know we used to see them around here in the late 70s and early 80s. I guess the equivalent now is the last Crown Vic cars. Last auction I went to years ago they were averaging 2500 a pop in nice shape so never got one.
How about the hill street blues cop car and in the heat of the night cop car
Only things I see missing are the PRNDL bezel and the ac system, always hate to see a car with factory air have it “deleted”.
It’s got a cop motor, cop rear end and cop tires.
At least it didn't have the horrible Chrysler Spark Control ( AKA Lean Burn). If this would have had Lean Burn it wouldn't run long enough to get the movie chase scene made.
Damn! Just perfect!
I’ve been lusting after a 74 Monaco ever since I was 13 and saw Blues Brothers at the theater. Even in the early 80s never saw many around my area (New England). Back then the local PD were using those awful St Regis. I think they had, smogged to death, 360s and the Detective/Undercover models were Slant 6s.
Have you ever done a squad 51 truck ?
Hi Bob nice Bluesmobile!
I wonder where it is in aus. Haven't seen it yet in Melbourne
Its here in Australia? AWESOME!! Nice conversion Rob 👍👍The only downside of owning such an iconic bad-arse car like this, is being chased by the Illinois Nazis!! 😆
And the Illinois State Police, The Good Ol' Boys, the Chicago Police Department, the Illinois National Guard, the Mystery Woman...
Great idea with the simulated “post”! Got the look with the windows up, and the nice open area when they’re both down. 400 is great too and the distributor is in the correct place when the hood is popped for the Mopar fans!
Thanks for the nostalgia getting to hear the old “lean carb pop” pulling away! Damn kids and their EFI don’t know how good they have it!
That exhaust bracket is just mimicking the “we’ve thrown a rod” scene
So is it the news blues mobile
Can you do a 1971 Plymouth Satellite station wagon?
I saw an interview in one of the old car magazines awhile back . They randomly asked older Policemen what their favorite car was back in the seventies and many of them answered ..... the early to mid seventies Dodge Monacos .When you saw one appear in your rear view mirror your but hole slammed shut like a bear trap.
Does it come with a working cigarette lighter?
Eh. It's the car that makes the video. The eight track player didn't make the movie car perfect the movie actually. It was all of the car scenes.
Building a blues copy right now, im wrapping it tomorrow. Ours is based on a 68 fairlane cos in thailand there aint no dodge monacos and like, no one will even know what the original car was, its just 'the blues brova car'. We also bunged a lexus v8 in it for the right sound.
Not entirely movie actuate. Forgot the eight track with best of Sam & Dave.
absolutely magical car, I like that, and of course the Blues Brothers Movie! DODGE 4 EVER
Freaking awesome! You had me cracking up driving!
Has the wrong back window
love this car so much. the blues brothers is one of my favorite films of all time and dame i just love this car, it is my dream car. what to own it one day. hope i can own it one day but for now i have the small size models of the car.
Even though it's not the vaunted 440, that 400 sounds a lot like it.
Illinois' salted streets in the winter... DO that to Illinois cars (Rust). Many people around the world probably don't realize WHY a 6 year old car (in the movie...1980) would be so bad. Come to Illinois in the winter and see for your self.
Felt that 440 rumble, nice audio.
Damn i love this car!!
Carter Thermoquad
Does it have SCMODS?
Beautiful car! It would be a blast owning one of these myself!
Althought, it would also be awesome to have one of these in the Automobile Driving Museum in El Segundo, California!
I got to take a ride in the original movie car before they started filming. My friends sister was dating a guy who was working on it and he let her drive it around for a day or two. lol
You know they used a number of dodge monacos, right? Like a dozen of them.
I don’t believe this story.
I miss driving those big 70s cars. I would rather drive that car any day than some peuny boring modern car.
How different it is? I have never ride an old car like that but my father says that they are really heavy and like really really big in comparison to todays cars, honestly I would looooove to ride the blues brothers at least once lmao
Those old cars were heavy but they would “float” when you drove them. They handled like bricks but man did they ride smooth
Basty Elwood Called em “boats” because of the smooth disconnected feeling they’d have as you’d “float” on down the highway. Most of them would have the biggest displacement motors their manufacturer would offer : (427, 428 454. 455 500 etc) all big ass torquey as hell motors usually with tall highway gears so they could kick down into 2nd when you’d pass somebody. Big roomy interiors with, most of the time, bench seats so imagine cruising around on your sofa with a big block. Nice comfy and torquey! Lots of babies made in America because of this type of car!
They were death machines that wouldn’t make it to 100,000 miles.
7:14
Very nice replica! Too bad the engine isn't a 440, but 400 is still huge. The original Bluesmoble is a massive car, making the second one, a '90 Crown Victoria look small in comparison. I have an '89 LX of that particular car. Those old '74 Dodges are hard to find, especially legit police models.
That coupe regular one you have is slick.
"It's that shitbox Dodge again!"
Do you know any one with passenger quarter panel For the flip down head lights Dodge Royal Monaco edition
Not an Edelbrock carb, that’s a Carter Thermoquad
Hi I love the blues brothers that is my dream car
Where did you get the 140 speedo from? I need to buy one
Fix the cig lighter !
It is the best car all around the World!!
Damn I want one!!
We want more episodes of Screen Machines!!! :)
The comments to this video are also fantastic that if you guys were in my neck of the woods I would buy all the beer! :-)
That’s awesome !!!
How much would it cost if I would give you a DeLorean and you just add the extras to make it look like a time machine? Thx :)
They just tore down a local shopping mall in my area. It would have been cool to have one of these and recreate the famous mall chase scene before they tore it down.
Our mall is so empty and dead that you could run one through it while it's open! I worked at the ambulance service and we had a health fair there. I had to drive the ambulance through the mall and it reminded me of that scene. "The new Oldsmobile's are out early this year."
the show the fall guy . the truck from that , can you guys do one of those
Where did you find the 140 mph speedometer?
How much does it cost to build the car like it and does anybody know where the car is that was in the movie is at and does anybody have any pictures of it and does anybody know where the outfit that the cast wear in the movie is ati would like to meet the cast of the movie
that cop car looks cool.
This bluemobile was first factory door ajar?
I don't believe it, its that shit box dodge! DUDE Id drive it every day!
very good !!!
OMG TOP TOP the original was my favourite car, id love one she sounds SAHH- WEEEEEET. Trouble is in UK the equivalent $ price for gas is about $8 per gallon!!!!
Yassss
A XR-2200 is a muffler bracket for a 79 Pinto.
How much would you charge to do a Wagon Queen Family Truckster?
Find me two 1979 Country Squire wagons and we will talk about it.
I'll look to see if I can find any.
Quick question if anyone answers how much would this car cost buy it’s self then how much would it be to be shipped to Australia
Robert Moseley: Somewhere a good-while back, I'd heard, or read, that Dan Akroyd saved one, THE-original, and at that time, he'd given it to his brother-in-law, to put on display in his---I'm assuming---private museum? Have no idea who, or where. But apparently, there is ONE, and only ONE, original. True/False? I dunno, maybe you, or someone here can confirm such?
bruno640 there was an original on display in kingston Ontario at the bar called "the mansion" I believe it was removed from the bar in the late 90s
There are 3 "original" Bluesmobiles from the movie that survived. The first one is owned by Akroyd, one is assumed to be in Japan although the exact location/owner remain unknown, and the third one is in Bavaria, being rented out for special occasions (weddings etc.)
Congratulation This car very good , i have to a DODGE DART Characterized of American police in Brazil is very successful here.
Hi Bob, I've seen you sell at least 3 of these since 2012, but how do you exactly buy one? All the ones on the channel have already been sold
does the couch have missing spring
Too bad ass!
Chaz's Arcade Gameplay & Restorations oooooooyhf
Jacob Castillo what lol
Chaz's Arcade Gameplay & Restorations vgggggjgjg
Holy crap, that thing starts better than any of my modern vehicles. Adding this to my 'next car wish list'. Keep up the awesome work
You traded the Cadillac for a microphone, then you lied to me about the band & now you're gonna put me right back in the joint, they're not gonna catch us, you got us in this parking lot, you get us out, theirs alot of space in this mall it's got some of everything.
When will these be available?
Never. They are gone. If we had one for sale it would be $25K
@@RobertMoseley lol I know, was a little joke, seen the ''when will this be available'' everywhere lately.
I have a 67 Monaco 61,xxx all OG runs an drive. If interested dm me, thanks
Omg yes. I'm well jell .. Don't think i could afford to run this in the UK .. Sad face.
Could you drive this as a regular car? You know what I mean? Or is this more like for show? Cuase I'd love to make this my car lol.
It is a regular car.
Oh thats great, man! How much would one of these go for?
about $15K
Robert Videobob Moseley that’s extremely reasonable!! Look what pos you get for 15k today... a cookie cutter civic? Everyone has a favorite movie car, my two fav are the Uncle Buck 77 Mercury Marquis Brougham and Romancing the Stone 1982 Ford Bronco “El Pepe” (my little mule)...do you still create movie cars?
Hello! How much would it cost to buy a TimeMachine from BTTF 1 at your AWESOME store ? Thx :)
about $100K
Robert Moseley does that include the car itself or is that just for the conversion?
👍Nice replica of Bluesmobile!
Do people commonly know what they're looking at? Or just think it's an old crappy cop car?
What’s the price on something like this?
is this the same care used by Comedians in cars getting coffee?
ready to take to the mall lol
you are a mind reader love an light
car is boooring without the 440!
Shit rollers. No, yep. I bet they have S C M O D S. Huh. State, County, Municipal, Offender, Data System. Elwood we currently show your license suspended. Step out of the car. Steps on the GAS.
yucky teeth
Make sure if the Cigarette lighter doesn't work!
