[@JustWasted3HoursHere]

Just amazing. Reminds me of the insane Viper V10 that they shoehorned into a motorcycle frame many years ago, the Tomahawk. Supposedly capable of "over 400mph", it technically is not a motorcycle because there are 4 wheels, but they are right next to each other in the front and back. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4nImZ6DhtWYr6M

I would LOVE to see that piece of art running on the road.

[@ScottieDTV]

It mostly gets run on the track...

[@davidhollowood6580]

I would imagine it’s alot of fun in the corners.

[@mikecredit8283]

Absolutely incredible, hats off to all who built this gem.

[@ScottieDTV]

Agreed....Glad You liked it!!

[@PREDATOR07]

To me that's one of the best looking car bodies from all-time

[@ScottieDTV]

Cool.....Hope you enjoyed this one!!

[@PREDATOR07]

ScottieDTV Sure i did, do they fix or build vehicles? My dad past away a few months ago and I'm keeping his 72 ford f250 the truck is en mexico I'm going to bring it in 2 weeks i live in los angeles

[@ScottieDTV]

Predator7 7 They do.....I also have others that do that to...

[@PREDATOR07]

ScottieDTV I live in orange co. Regarding the 72 f250 I'm planing for full or 75% restoration,I own a Ford Raptor armored maybe when i bring the f250 maybe you can recommend one of your places👍

[@ScottieDTV]

Predator7 7 Sure....Let me know!

[@icanfix1]

This kind of project stirs up the little boy in all of us. A monumental build that works well and looks great.

[@ScottieDTV]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@FourSeasonsHD]

Now that you mention, has anybody ever built a Karmann-Ghia with the engine in this configuration but then the front wheels moved at the back and cockpit turned around so that the original rear engine configuration was restored? It would look like the car goes on reverse. The back becomes the new front.

[@Sylkenwolf]

And girl... lol. I remember dad talking about Karmann Ghia's and seeing them as a kid. First time I've ever seen the name written so at first I didn't really read the name and had no idea until he said it. Pretty damn cool!

[@moneytron4143]

@@Sylkenwolf My father had a Karmann Guia TC, that video brings back my childhood.

[@carltonhall816]

Very beautiful car!

[@ScottieDTV]

Carlton Hall Way cool for sure!!!

[@lmedina4731]

Karmann Ghias go these days average for about $8,000, I'm willing to give you $10, 000 for it. LOL Just kidding, but that is one badass Ghia, best one I've seen....

[@ScottieDTV]

lol...you may be just a little short...

A Volkswagen deveria relançar o Karmann Ghia é um carro que nos fez muito sucesso nos anos 70 seguido do puma que foi um outro carro também que deveria ter um remake

[@ScottieDTV]

Cool!

[@TITANIOFORT]

PUMA is up to make te remake of their car, the PUMA LUMIMARI, with an motorization that has 2.5 liters, and will not use the bad VW 1.6 air cooled of BEETLE, right now they are testing an version of race of it, to transfer the race upgrades to the street car.

[@ScottieDTV]

I'm sure that Viper v-10 was a whole lot more affordable than the Audi....but that would have been cool..

[@parttroll1]

That is one gorgeous custom build. Nice job guys

[@ScottieDTV]

[@davidtosh7200]

Somebody make the 1967 VW Karmann Ghia into the "Jetson" car. VW Karmann Ghia never have glass cover over sealed beam headlights as of 1948-66 VW Bug and 1950-67 VW Bus. Also VW fastback and squareback (wagon) models never have glass cover over sealed beam headlights from 1962-73.

[@ScottieDTV]

Cool!

It would have been interesting to see how the car would have looked with the original flat four engine in this, but I must admit, that V10 up front does look amazing! The car itself looks incredible! Great work guys!

Amélie Renoncule lol...

[@kenney5454]

My Mother has always wanted one, we had to talk her down in 1975 to a Firebird, she drives a Mini Rag Top now, Every time she spies another one on the road she pipes up "Mini!" as we roll our eyes in contempt.

Completely agreee

[@ScottieDTV]

[@GregsGarage]

Great vid man. Thanks for taking the time to record this for us. As a ghia guy I think they did justice to the car. They started with a pretty cool car design and made it even better and more unique. That car has got to RIP with all the HP.

[@ScottieDTV]

Shooting live is a challenge....try it so I can come over and point out your mistakes....

[@onkouth]

As a civil engineer myself, I love to see things that are beautifully designed and manufactured, the design and workmanship put into this is as good as I have ever seen for anything, absolutely amazing work with the added madness of having a V10 in the Ghia. I absolutely love this car 😂😍

OMG!! I bet when they fire that thing up, it rears up on its back legs and growls! That's a beast, I would have never thought I would say that about a Ghia? Now that's American imagination & craftsmanship at its finest!

Am I really the only one who's upset that they defiled a classic vw

[@ScottieDTV]

Yes...lol

[@ironicchannelname6457]

ScottieDTV ug it's terrible they took one of the most elegant cars in history and chopped it up to make it another water pumper hotrod with an engine that doesn't belong in it

Come on guys they come with an engine that makes them a dog they're nice looking cars but they do not have any performance at all they may look fast but they're not you at least have to put a Porsche engine in them

On the other hand, where would this Karmann Ghia likely be if they hadn't rescued it from wherever?
