Back to the Future: Classic Cars Go High Tech

[@freethink]

What car would you like to rebuild?

[@MichaelDiTullo]

If I got to work with Jonathan to do an Icon for myself I would start with a Studebaker Avanti :-)

[@twinturbov8]

1986 or ‘87 Buick Grand National

[@hibari42]

‘69 Mustang baby

[@bernainmolina7481]

1972 Buick riveria

[@jose151348]

69 charger

[@VoiceReason]

As a designer I love this, as a car enthusiast I want them all!

[@bigkilog9718]

Wow this is super cool, I would love an old style modern car

[@freethink]

Glad you liked it!

[@rickastley4393]

That’s weird

[@abhisheknair6344]

@@rickastley4393 you're weird

[@empressmicrowave1195]

I’ve thought of something like this but I believed it couldn’t be done. But goddamn this proves me wrong in a way I’m happy with. And I feel like I just saw a few new dream cars for me.

[@colindevoe3460]

Agreed!

[@freethink]

Right on!

[@KristinRyans]

Imagine filling the roads with these cars!!! It would be like going back in time… it would be like a scene from an old movie…it would be paradise!!!😍

[@jonathonto8075]

Can we just appreciate how perfect the music selection at 0:27 is? Hot dam

[@thommie13loco]

You know the song? 😄

[@studentofknowledge9525]

As a learning Land Surveyor detail is everything. At 5:45 when he said "Considerations for details like that are sadly forgotten". His emphasis on that verse especially the word "forgotten" hit me in a visceral way.

[@colindevoe3460]

Oh man! I would LOVE to get my hands on a 1965 Porsche

[@freethink]

That'd be awesome!

[@ngenes1]

“Think of ever throwing things away” in America that is the belief, finally owning things that last! Thank you for adding to these trends of life.

[@GreenAppelPie]

Carmakers should be paying hard attention to this man. Classic car quality with modern car functionality, not cheap gadgets.

[@chrisfabian7770]

It’s funny because now you see these “Restomod” cars being more desirable than the classics. You still feel like you’re driving a piece of history, just with all the modern perks.

[@shmoocoo]

First interesting ad on KZbin

[@JayceeR]

This is so smart for them. I didn't even imagine that this is possible but their doing it possible. This is so lovely!

[@abdulfarah4030]

Oh my goodness one of my favourite KZbin videos ever

[@jefftanenbaum8011]

I always wanted to see a show where they take a stock classic car and update everything to current technology. It appears to look like the car of its era but it has all modern underpinnings.

[@setlerking]

I’d love a Volvo Amazon refurbished, my grandfather had one. One of the most beautiful cars I’ve seen.

[@Superhyperaktive]

This is beautiful work, I'm in love.

[@VKSgtSLaughter]

Amazing and beautiful cars! Each is truly a work of art. It's refreshing to see a car craftsman put so much thought, love, and pride in his work! If I had the money, I would buy one in a heartbeat. Keep up the great work Brothers!

[@ZeidGho]

I finally found my hero I always wanted to see this concept put to reality Old car, new engine If I ever had enough extra money, I would absolutely do one

[@CineScopelk]

i just love these kind of videos

[@fade430]

this is what i'm in the procccess of doing for a 2000 jeep Cherokee xj i love this so much

[@Arzun91]

1:48 the car engine sound is so Awesome

[@mawortz]

I want a classic land Rover defender :)

[@AmitThakorlovemeorhateme]

Retro looks so cool.

[@longshot8000]

PLEASE HELP: Great, inspiring vid, but NO contact info for ICON?!?

[@bilalazhar9979]

This is not mechanics... It's art...

[@utubemutube4255]

remind me of a movie ....Pluto Nash loved it , im a fan now

[@anthonywhitaker4892]

See this is totally me and that's what I need a little bit of the past and only if the things of the future which meet my needs

[@raystaar]

I'd like to reimagine a '56 Nash Metropolitan and/or a '56 Chevrolet Bel Air. However I wouldn't use animal skins. In the age of extinction, that seems gratuitous.

[@VKSgtSLaughter]

Agreed! And I would love to resurrect my old Nash Rambler with this level of artistry and modernize it. It would be beautiful and amazing!

[@Arizona_Skin_Walker]

First name last name He’s an idiot Thinking like a hippie environmentalist.

[@Arizona_Skin_Walker]

First name last name Sick wheels brother.

[@twinturbov8]

I’d LOVE a modernized 1986 or ‘87 Buick Grand National. With all that upgraded tech and power, the V6 turbo would be such a great engine!

[@Avetho]

So that's why Icon is expensive, its because it will last the owner ten times as long as the original vehicle. They're making super reliable cars like the Hilux, except its cooler and classic and awesome and fast and high class and true to form with the original vehicle. I think my favorite styling is to take an old classic like a 1973 Buick Riviera and give it retro-futuristic interior components that show modern readouts but look like they came from the era of the car that was converted, like the digital dash cluster of the '79 Volvo Tundra or something, but also blend the retro-futuristic stuff into the style the Riviera had. Like, the Riviera dashboard was a rather swanky large 3 panel setup that could easily fit 3 large electroluminescent LCD displays and the interior lighting could be handled by electroluminescent strips and panels, stuff called EL Wire, and it'd be awesome.

[@____-pb1lg]

So cool

[@austint19]

I would LOVE one of these but I'm broke as hell and don't have a job anymore lol

[@LaRudy]

You are diffidently on the right path

[@Panini529]

Renovate my vintage. . . . Take my money.

[@YashSharma-zz4bf]

Beautiful.

[@gracematter]

OMG, I want one!

[@doughnutholer]

A Porsche, Split bumper Camaro, or 60 Stang would be amazing with this treatment :)

[@animbyoputra7827]

Mr. Bond... did you see that?!

[@greasyHands66]

Where can one find thoose sun visors?

[@rigakit]

My 2008 Hyundai entourage needs you guys!

[@user-vacgod2739]

It's way too modern.

[@stripycascade13]

what is Icon's website

[@shellducker7078]

Yes yes yes!!! 💖

[@Akar_97]

So much better than terrible new cars design

[@hanumanorganic789]

สุดยอด…ชอบมากเลย

[@isaialeuila9327]

I need them to make a 1969-73 Imperial lebaron!!

[@suruxstrawde8322]

This is cool af, but why is technological advancement being explained to me by rumplestiltskin from shrek four?

[@suruxstrawde8322]

2:01 The references are killing me aaaa

[@pyforce2138]

You cannot fasten a seatbelt without a headrest!! ABC of motor safety. Please notify everyone. You are legally responsible.

[@medraut6599]

Yeah that's the first thing that came to mind. These vehicles are nice and all but how safe are they? People forget that during a bad enough crash a hood snap off and go in through the glass and decapitate its driver.

[@yagua0500]

COOL AF.!!!

[@psiva007]

Can you rebuild old Japanese cars?

[@JamesVestal-dz5qm]

Roman Morales used to sell me weed in high school and he advised against buying a $3000 used car because it will break down in 2 years.

[@VLADB07]

I would want to buy an old retro looking car with a modern engine/electric/suspenssion and all other aspects of modern cars just with the body/interior of a classic I think we are tired of sleek designs, classic will make a comeback

[@simsneon2]

I’m not a tree hugger but they make perfectly good fake alligator vinyls that will outlast an out perform skin of any animal every time I’ve recovered any seats I go with the vinyl because of its longevity and also the cost and savings is there as well Icon sucks

[@gypsy8961]

That's how American products used to be made and should be made. Built to last.

[@luis-gr9rc]

ahh man a vintage Mustang Shelby GT350

[@appleapple9856]

Are they safe tho? I am fascinated… but also.. Iam paranoid

[@Tev68ragtop]

Song name at beginning please anyone

[@j-mtheriault8001]

I wonder what you could do with my 1985 suzuki samurai!

[@JBenedict02]

im interested in a 1993 Jeep Cherokee with modern technology

[@artsby9449]

I would do this thing if it would be allowed in my country

[@TimeTheory2099]

Freethink... You didn't include the cost of these conversions. Most of the car's looked like the same old internal combustible engine's with some new electronics added. If they were all converted to electric, it would be worth the price.

[@markistvancsendes3131]

I love the idea, but unless someone figures out a way to make old cars properly crash proof, the hole idea is just a catastrophe waiting to happen if we implement it on a mass scale.

[@dannydyer2879]

Getting rid of the original dials ruins the whole thing in my opinion

[@calebproductions5970]

Now if we can get vids of newer cars with older dependable engines. I hate all these sensors and computers it's too expensive.

[@bilalazhar9979]

Wow...

[@grandyartaman9279]

I'm mechanic I wish could join your team fixing old car also could save out planet

[@Supcharged]

how viable is this on something even older? Like for example a 1930s car?

[@sean51697]

This is cool and all, but if you throw out 80% of the cars former components and only keep the shell, than you are not really recycling it.

[@tannerwilliams3074]

69 Chevy Camaro🥺

[@Rico-v7r]

Please tell me this is only being done with scrap cars/husks. If so that's cool but gutting the internal components of a functioning classic is disgusting

[@Shipwright1918]

Don't mess with the classics, 'nuff said.

[@juanmarcos319]

No electric ???

[@JVR2019]

Unenlightened

[@Tony-nj9de]

I want to upgrade a 1980 muscle car

[@freethink]

Sounds awesome! There's another garage doing some stuff like that we visited at kzbin.info/www/bejne/p2WmgXV-n5WIh80

[@ShiroVK870]

Pimp ma ride

[@koontank720]

I Don't really like the classic cars go high tech...

[@alimk7490]

An stupid converts classic car into electric

[@Romiedahomie415]

Oh wow they’re just making a vintage car with a new tech I’d rather buy a used car of someone

[@alexislancaster2691]

This man is awesome
