Funny you should mention that . I just watched the chase scene on you tube a couple nights ago, for the first time in about 30 years . What I find amazing is this chase scene went on for like 40 minutes and that Mustang got the holy hell beat out of it , and just kept going and going.
Several accidents happened that were not even planed like hitting the light pole at 100 miles an hour . From what I have read, only ONE stunt car was used for the entire chase . Ford motor company built 'em tuff in 1971 ( 73).
