It also had a 454 V8, in the last year it was available. The crash shown here is actually a very accurate recreation the Pusser's crash, right down to the way the car flipped, burned, and ejected him. The movie seemed to suggest the car was tampered with, or possibly he blew a tire, but that's not known. He was legally drunk and driving at over 100 mph, so it's possible he just went faster than he could handle.
