1974 Dodge Monaco - The Bluesmobile

[@BoxerMustangLoverAndChristian]

The thing that makes The Bluesmoblie special and unique is that she’s a part of Jake and Elwood’s family. 😌

[@user-1389]

My favorite movie.

[@Overtakergarage]

My dad was a Chicago cop and was in the blues Brothers movie I love that movie 🎥

[@pyrobandit8648]

That’s really cool! Can you spot him clearly in the movie?

[@scotty197878]

IT’S A BEAUTIFUL PLACE BOB! 😎😎

[@mustie1]

that pay phone is as rare as the car

[@NatureRecycleFlorida]

Lol

[@SlitchBatty]

Yeah what the hell happened to all the payphones...i used to live in a phone booth wtf

[@rj78productions88]

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.

[@michaeld2799md]

Love your taste with all the movie cars. Especially the blues brothers police cruiser.

[@annabarham155]

I LOOOOOOOVE the Blues Brothers! Ever since I was a kid I’ve watched it and watched it countless times with my dad.

[@revokdaryl1]

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!

[@ahmedal-khadar3924]

American cars are not like other cars they are the greatest loved the video thx Bob ....AHMED FROM BAGHDAD IRAQ

[@seankent2036]

Nobody does replicas better than Bob's Prop Shop.

[@CheesecakeTank]

*"You can fit an awful lot of dead bodies back here."* I saw that comment coming a mile away xD

[@seankent2036]

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.

[@seankent2036]

@@CycolacFan a huge crowd. Really wanted to be one of the kids standing on top of the bluesmobile..

[@Ian1964]

This must give you and your team great pride on completion... So much attention to detail in recreating an iconic movie prop... 👍

[@999thenewman]

I've never seen an old original car start and run exactly as it's supposed to. Kudos to your crew.

[@Plymouth_Belvedere]

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.

[@unclejustin7267]

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!

[@69Dartman]

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.

[@69Dartman]

@@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]

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

[@69Dartman]

@@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.

Shout out from Buffalo NY, I have a 1977 dodge royal Monaco BLUESMOBILE!!!

[@ToomasTelling]

[@christiansanden8005]

I love that car! Monaco real fullsize!!

[@joemazzola7387]

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

[@scottt8424]

Hey Bob thank you for the information about the car and I love that kind of car myself

[@johnmontgomery634]

This is the best KZbin channel buy far....love the motors and he seems a gent too...

[@drinellwilliams7080]

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😊👍👍👍👍

[@RobertMoseley]

First!!! HA!!!

[@NatureRecycleFlorida]

"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...

[@stiveseguin8116]

My first car

[@0mrjoker]

love love this video so much. the car sounds great and looks amazing.

[@cardinaloflannagancr8929]

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.

[@unclejustin7267]

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.

[@robbinbanx7439]

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 ; )

[@joserafaelgarciamorales8724]

It' remind me when my mother bought a new one out of the display dodge Monaco custom 1974 .

The 1974 Monaco was actually prepared for a passenger side airbag.Look at the dash.

I bet there is a spare ballast resistor in the glove box.

[@Markybug-Keira-Cody]

Didn’t the car have Dodge on the back with i think the letter O missing?

[@jasonrackawack9369]

Cant glue the cans to the dash.....they got to be able to fly arround right!

my pappy had a 1977 dodge royal monaco brougham 4 door sedan with 360 non-cop (?) v8 with thermoquad carb & flipup headlight covers

[@wkanost]

Where is there still a pay phone?

No 180 into a parking spot? ;)

[@josephblevins1206]

Nice video! I recognize the area your driving in...

[@chukzombi]

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.

[@whodeany76]

Mission from God,BUILD THAT DODGE video bob

[@rmx77]

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.

[@brianmcintyre8549]

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 really loved the movie to. Jake and elwood.

[@79tazman]

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

[@ChrisSmith-ri4mb]

Those donuts ended better than the RR! Lol

[@HalfAMind]

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.

[@thehomiejuan1306]

I need help finding a fender for my brougham, I don’t want to convert the front end. Can some one please help

[@strongandco]

All that work just to be hidden away in a private collection, seems kinda crazy.

[@ITILII]

They're not gonna catch us.....we're on a mission, from God !

[@radeakins]

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.

[@randiricci5620]

extra scene cut from a trailer park boys episode?? #BluesBrothersRule

[@troytroy8363]

What something like that go for? Price range

[@taunuslunatic404]

If I were you I would've kept it.

[@NatureRecycleFlorida]

cool

[@APTInternational]

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...

[@deloreanfan81]

I so wanna do a sleeper with upgraded suspension wider tires and an SRT8 under the hood

[@amickcaldwell2104]

That car is fuckin awesome! Is the lighter broke??

[@ericksonusame]

Its nice yes. I much enjoy its video video blob.

[@scotty197878]

I read that the early episode dukes of hazard Monaco’s were repainted blues brothers left over movie cars?

[@feedsyoutube]

I just saw you tried selling your time machine at on Pawn Stars 🤣 “I can do around 10,000$” after he says it’s worth near 100k 🤣

[@jessejones1783]

they went though 103 cars i googled it

[@stevecutlas7556]

Where can i get that blues brothers bdr licence plate i collect licence plates and would like to add that to my collection

[@gavinbrown5351]
