10 Wild Facts About Richard's '67 Plymouth GTX - Tommy Boy

[@dave1986R]

Waiting a month to get a small shot of a real live deer on top of the car. Talk about dedication.

[@CarStarz42]

Lol, indeed.

[@genogeno6643]

Many fun facts in this one.

[@CarStarz42]

Glad you enjoyed it 😉👍

[@JUDGERAMBO]

I always wondered if this was the same car featured in the joe dirt movie.

[@unstablebobgable]

Great video! I work in auto parts and Tommy Boy is one of my favorite movies. :)

[@CarStarz42]

Cool😁👍

[@Piggypongtheavgeek]

Look mommy, the rhino’s getting too close to the car! Him too afraid to get out. He just a little guy!

[@MintyFreshTurds]

"AHHHWWW COMON DAMMIT!!! That sounds good! Melted chocolate in the dash, that's really ups the resale value!"

[@paulseiferling2250]

Epic car guy movie is Fast Company. There's an awesome street racing scene you have to see.

[@CarStarz42]

I'll have to look into that one as I haven't seen it. Thanks👍

[@CycolacFan]

Made in Canada about drag racing by some guy called David Cronenberg… 😮

[@Moletastic69]

The deer is standing on the trunk of a '68 Chrysler Newport in #6.

[@CarStarz42]

Yep, seems to be and discussed prior. The scene that the deer was trashing the car was one of the four Satellites however 😉👍

[@colinl5951]

Rip Chris. We miss you.

[@CarStarz42]

Indeed.

[@SNOWDUDE13]

I remember me and friends warping the VHS tape, pausing at certain scenes to figure out what this cool car was. Ah to be young and dumb again 😂

[@TheJackAlderman]

The Velvet Collection May be in possession of one of those auctioned

[@CarStarz42]

Interesting.

[@CarsandCats]

I love it when the hood flies up as this happened to me at the drag strip right when I shifted into second gear. There was this beautiful girl with great big knockers talking to me in the staging lanes and I left the hood pins in my pocket! HAHAHAHAHA.

[@CarStarz42]

Lol, classic; Amazing, and kind of scary how much a hot chick can instantly shift our attention, lol 😁

Is she 300 lbs and a religious fanatic now? LOL That's what happened to my "hot" girlfriend.

Another fun fact about that deer... it was actually an adolescent elk. You can tell by the antlers.

[@CarStarz42]

I'll take your word for that as I don't know animals. 😁

[@adamberndt4190]

I always heard that David Spade owned this car.

[@CarStarz42]

Nope, but he does own a real Daytona Charger along with a lot of other cool cars in his collection 😉

[@oldrustycars]

I wondered if one of these was also in Joe Dirt, when Joe bought a 67 GTX convertible, supposedly with a hemi. David Spade is a Mopar guy.

[@toddadams8420]

I thought the same thing. Made him even cooler for me. Especially in Joe dirt when he was reading auto trader and griping about the prices

[@genogeno6643]

How about 007 cars, The Monkee mobile, Adam 12. Great videos "Subscribed"

[@pliantimpala7858]

I'm an avid Hot Wheels collector, and back in the day Hot Wheels did a series called "retro entertainment", Where they released movie and tv show cars. And man... To put it lightly this car was EVERYWHERE!! Every store had at least 5 on the shelf just sitting there. I can't quite remember the other cars that came out at the same time, but I do believe one of them was the Fast and Furious charger (also the first time that casting was released in all metal)

[@CarStarz42]

Yep, I remember that and now Greenlight makes a really detailed one 😉👍

[@New_Jax_City]

Hey buddy i dont know if you saw my last reply to your message but there is 1 more movie id like to request. A 1967 Camaro steals the movie when it comes on screen. The movie is BETTER OFF DEAD starring JOHN CUSAK its an 80’s flick. U wont regret watching it. Dark comedy and so good. Im askin ya please sir. Thanx!!!!

[@Hiwinders]

In around 1979 I built a 1967 Plymouth Satellite that looked a lot like this car (Same paint colors, wheels). The car eventually was sold and it ended up in a TWIX candy bar ad (I know because it had the same license plate!)… I always wondered if it might have ended up as one of the cars in Tommy boy. I suppose I will never know for sure.

[@CarStarz42]

Cool and maybe so 🙂👍

[@dukecraig2402]

I'd say there's a decent chance it's your old car, once in the system where it gets used for things like commercials there's a good chance it found it's way into this movie. If you still know the VIN you just might be able to verify it.

[@Hiwinders]

I don’t know the VIN… But I do have a couple of photos of the car. Is there a way to share those?

[@79USA1]

Look close at the deer jumping off the car scene and you realize it is a 68 C body Newport not a Satellite/GTX just by the body lines and the square rear side marker light in the quarter panel.🤔

[@mattfarahsmillionmilelexus]

By gum you're right, never noticed that. They removed the skirt and it looks like the wheel opening was crudely flared with bondo. Good pickup.

[@LongIslandMopars]

OMG!!! I never noticed that!! Great eyes.

[@milfordh.mercado2787]

Hahaha 😂😂 how did nobody pick that up goof after 27 years.

[@MattC-i5p]

Fact #11, in the deer jumping off scene the deer jumps off of a 1968 Chrysler Newport.

[@CarStarz42]

Indeed and has been discussed a bit on here already 😉

[@Brianscoronet]

I believe the satellite was used in one of the newer children of the corn movie's.

[@CarStarz42]

Possibly, I've never watched any of those, but I think someone else mentioned that some time ago as well 😉

[@karlepaul6632]

For Fact #1 you said there were 4 cars used, but counting up the examples you used there were actually 5. Just wondering if 5 is the correct number. Great video though!

[@CarStarz42]

There were 4 Satellites used, I just showed a few clips of the pristine version at the start.

[@premierstx]

I'm pretty sure one of the cars was used as the orange "hemi" in Joe Dirt.

[@markg7030]

I agree.

[@beelinebrett2077]

Please make a video on the custom Chevelle Dwayne Johnson drives in Faster!

[@CarStarz42]

I'll add it to the long list to look into. Thanks

[@BDS8-71]

Can you do a video on any of the cars from the movie Cannonball? Mainly interested in the blue Chevy Van, but a video on any of the cars would be cool

[@CycolacFan]

I can tell you there were at least three Trans Ams used and two Chargers (check how the RT tailstripe changes colours between scenes) and look out for the camera tow Trans Am which has the lower front spoiler removed and towing brackets added. The director, who hated cars, was forced into making Cannonball (originally released as Carquake! ) and supposedly decided to wreck every car that he could as a protest. That’s why the Corvette is about the only survivor. I’ve never found out anything about the Chevy Van other than it appears to be a 1965 or ‘66, I highly doubt it survived. Interesting to see it get hit in a New York alley by a Thunderbird that was parked at the start in LA…

[@canipetthatdog1005]

One of the cars is owned by a collector that has MANY movie cars. I saw it on Adam the Woo's channel.

[@dukecraig2402]

Yea I saw that to, it was parked in one of those kinds of pole buildings that doesn't have walls all the way around and is open in the front if I remember correctly, it was in there with a bunch of other movie cars. He also had a VW micro bus or something like that that'd belonged to a celebrity like Frank Sinatra or someone that even though I don't believe was used in a movie it was something he'd taken his family on a summer tour of America in. My memory is vague on that one but I do remember seeing that show where someone had a bunch of celebrity and movie cars and I distinctly remember them showing the Tommy Boy car, even though I've never actually seen the movie itself. Do you remember any of the other vehicles from that show like the camper edition VW or whatever it was I'm thinking about? Edit, come to think of it I believe it was a camper edition Chevy van that a celebrity had whoever it was.

[@Mister_Ess]

If you haven't done the Fury from Christine, that would be cool.

About time there was another ‘it’s a Fury in the book but not in the film’ debate 😂

[@jacobeakright7834]

The car in the scene where the deer jumped out was a big 68 Chrysler New Port or a New Yorker

[@markg7030]

You are right!!!

[@bigdaddy7119]

The gas cap was a dead giveaway that it wasn’t a true 67 GTX. They had the NASCAR style flip open cap. I grew up with a real ‘67 GTX in the driveway. 😁

[@Brianscoronet]

And a 150 mph speedometer

[@mikego18753]

Thumbs up,i,m always surprised how much they sell for,lol. Thanks.

Is the Plymouth Satellite the equivalent of the Pontiac Lemans, in that they're frequently used to clone the division's more desirable cars?

[@johnwilburn]

Kind of… yes, that’s fair. But that’s less common than it was 20 years ago. More people are enjoying them now for what they really are and I’m glad to see it.

[@shitbox82]

Yes, base model car…

Blink and you'll miss it. In Deer scene a 68 Chrysler is susbstituted

The car definitely appears in Joe Dirt, painted orange. It also appears in David Lynch's Lost Highway, this time painted black.

[@williamduhamel7726]

What was the year, make, and model of the one in Joe Dirt? And not the Charger Daytona (yes, I saw that episode).

My first car was a hopped up 383 66 Satellite, practically the same as a 67. It was hard for me to watch Tommy Boy as he wrecked that beautiful car. That is the same body style Richard Petty drove to countless wins in NASCAR.
