My grandfather had big American cars like a 1966 Pontiac Tempest and a 1966 Buick Wildcat 455 that I learned to drive in. Love that big motor carb moan.
Nothing like the secondaries on a quadrajet opening
Snagglefoot, you got the title basakwards, it is Dirty Mary Crazy Larry. I saw it at a drive-in when it came out. There was a car at the drive-in that was identical to the car in the movie. Everyone at the movie was eyeing that car.
Posting anything James Bond is cheating lol. But my favorites are the Kenworth W900 chase scene in "Licence to Kill" and the AMC corkscrew jump in "The Man with the Golden Gun".
It's less of a "chase scene" and more of a "chase the entire movie", but I had to mention one of my favorites. This movie gives me chills to this day... one of Spielberg's best works IMO.
A screen shot from Duel has been my screensaver for a long time.

The movie 'Dirty Mary,Crazy Larry' was actually based on a book called, "The Chase" by Richard Unekis. I read it several years ago and the movie does a pretty good job of following the book. However, there is no Mary, dirty or otherwise.

That was a Buick Wildcat 445 ( 401 cu-in) nailhead.
And It had a Carter AFB not a rochester.
Buick and Chevy Engine builder here Plus I'm old enough to know

We listened to a few of those big Quadrajets opening in the old days too-my '68 Impala SS 327/300 HP, and my brother's '70 GS 455, good thing gas was cheap back then! Used to run the air cleaner upside-down on the 327 for extra air flow (& noise), my brother is still the only person I ever heard of getting pulled over in it for a loud CARBURETOR!!
Too many will never know the distinct sensation of putting the pedal down on a full size big cubic inch American car as the nose rises in the air to the sound of oooOOOHHHHMMMMM
Snagglefoot....
1) Bullitt - San Francisco hills
2) The French Connection - Manhattan subway streets
These two were the best of the Classic Movie car chases in the USA.
