If you're able to precisely recall the iconic conversation between Sean, Clay, and Cindy and the construction site race that then ensues from Fast & Furious: Tokyo Drift, then congratulations, you are eligible to get the award for the most hard-core fan of the F&F series.

As futile as it is to reiterate since we all know the exchange of these dialogues invoked the most insane face-off between Sean’s 1971 First Gen Chevrolet Monte Carlo and Clay’s Dodge Viper SRT-10. The duel concluded with a brimming win for Sean.

Want to know what happened to the  '71 Monte Carlo that the film crew had modified to make this scene a memorable one? If yes then, without wasting any other moment, let's hop straight into it.

4 A Memorable Design

The 1971 Chevrolet Monte Carlo and the Ford Mustang in the third chapter of the Fast & Furious series were the only muscle cars that Sean drove. For the film making the producers had used the first generation of the Monte Carlo SS which was launched originally in the year 1970. It was a featured design in the marquee of luxury 2 seater personal cars. This model’s original technical features included a 454 cubic inch Turbo-Jet V8 powertrain coupled with a 3-speed automatic gearbox. Further, the SS model was aptly marketed as the sportiest model of the Monte Carlo.

Talking about the body and exteriors, it is based on the GM "A platform" employed mainly for mid-sized rear-wheel driver motos, and the appearance seemed to accentuate a minimalist design. The headlights were round and framed with chrome bezels. The rugged look of the body and the placement of the interior inventory like the wheel gearbox etc. were very typical and void of exorbitant and minor details.

Some movie scenes are so cumbersome to do in reality that they may at times require a few retakes to pull them off with the desired level of perfection. Sean vs. Clay's episode was not an exception. In fact, in order to successfully complete the part, the production had to keep a stock of 11 Monte Carlo cars. They were redesigned specifically to film the stupendous plot of rivalry between the two racers. Out of the 11 cars, two were powered using a robust 10.3 liter Bill Mitchell 700 hp and a 509 engine block which could deliver an estimated 560 horsepower while the rest of them were bestowed upon with smaller V8 models. Some major modifications include NASCAR-style tires, Year One coil springs, Fiberglass Trends cowl hood Hella headlights, Be Cool radiator, Flowmaster dual chamber exhaust, Jaz fuel cell.

All of the cars that were used to shoot were almost too rammed to be restored yet luckily, four or five of them were extruded safely and were sent across different parts of the world for the people who cannot resist owning these movie cars. Universal Studio has decided to retain just one of them and sell all others along with proper authenticity certificates to differentiate them from doppelgangers available in the market.

If King Midas’ power was to turn anything he touched to gold, then the superpower of the professional hands of Dennis McCarthy was to turn any old moto into a brand new rock star. Dennis, a celebrated film carmaker and modifier, was the one to incept staggering visualizations around the plot which needed some extravagant modifications. Such alterations ranged from installing the Bill Mitchell to appending some major features like Richmond T-10 manual 4-speed transmission, Auto Meter gauges, Deist seat belts, Hurst vertical floor shifter, and so forth.

As if all this was less, there’s even a bigger surprise waiting for you to be discerned. Every piece of the Monte Carlo extruded from the film set is embossed with signatures of both Dennis McCarthy and Lucas Black (Sean –the protagonist).

Well, since we know the answers to questions like who, how many, when, and which, won’t you like to know about where you can actually purchase these prominent and rare collectibles? If yes, without any further detail, let's spring upon the next section which will help you put a halt to your curiosity forever.
