| That's exactly what I was thinking! I was trying to figure out what kind of car that was that Roy Scheider was driving... thanks! |

| That Pontiac Ventura sounds like the Mustang from Bullitt,lol. |

| Minor corrections: 455, "normal" size for the day, and pretty darn good handling. My aunt had one, and if she were still alive, would attest to what a great car it was. That Bill Hickman knew what he was doing when he picked that GrandVille - compared to other cars of its day in the full-size class, it handled like a sports car. He picked that '68 Charger R/T for Bullitt because it had a heavy-duty police package and stayed glued to the pavement, no matter how hard it was pushed. |

| GrandVille's came standard with a 455 and turbo 400 trans. The Ventura was a 350 Pontiac motor with a 4bbl and dual exhaust which was added to that car as only the GTO got the dual exhaust 350 in 74.
Bill Hickman is definitely one bad ass driver. Anyone who can get a luxury boat like that GrandVille to corner like that is amazing. |

| Yeah, the GrandVille was a perfect car for this chase, 350, huge, and shitty handling. |

| I've been doing some talking around amongst former GM employees. They're familiar with this chase scene. I get the same story from all of them, which is: the Ventura was "doctored up" to sound badass, but the GrandVille was 100% REAL (combination of Radial-Tuned Suspension, widest track of any full-size car in the industry, lots of weight, and a tough-as-nails stump-puller engine). You can see how it stays stable, never bottoms out, and always "corrects" itself out of a sway. |

| Thank you, Amanaman544, for letting me know you had this chase scene available. I hadn't seen it in years! What cars - a 73 Pontiac GrandVille 455-4v and a 73 Pontiac Ventura 350-4v; it doesn't get any better. Yes, the GV driver also drove the Charger in Bullitt. This chase was the "best of" the chases in Bullitt and French Connection. Good luck getting a modern car to do that stuff - you bump into a lightpost at 5mph and the front end crumples up and the engine falls out! |
