Gone in 60 Seconds (1974)
55 minutes into the movie our protagonist spots the cops and guns it. Everything up to that point serves only to justify the 40 minute car chase that ensues.
Written, produced, directed, choreographed and performed by H.B. Halicki, also known as “the Car Crash King”.
You can find clips of the chase on YouTube, but I recommend picking up the DVD and watching it in decent quality.
