Chariot from Lost in Space

[@artoo45]

And suddenly I'm six years old again. Awesome build.

[@sammcdonald769]

artoo45 . Danger danger Will Robinson !

[@thefifthwheellastwheel1903]

artoo45 right there with you!

[@cavecookie1]

HA HA,artoo45...me too!!! I was so jealous of Will Robinson. He was the luckiest kid in the world...I mean the galaxy! He got to fly around in a flying saucer, and had a robot.

[@edwinmalachy]

artoo45 I WAS Will Robinson LoL

[@TheItsmegp46]

This takes me back to 1965, I was 7 and watching Lost In Space with my older brother and my dad. Amazing replica, I would pay for a ride on the Chariot.

[@ntvypr4820]

I am speechless at the level of authenticity and effort expended on this replica. I built one of the first KITT replicas back in the mid 80's, but this knocks my socks off. All that clear plexiglass not to mention the rounded corner parts.. Sheezz!! AA++. As a LIS fan since it was out when I was a kid in the 60's, my hat is off to the builder. Kudos Sir!!

[@Beamshipcaptain]

I too have loved the CHARIOT and the Jupiter 2 for 52 years.

[@nakyer]

Whoever built this, Mr Antonellis or someone working for him... Fans of Lost In Space now LOVE you.

[@wyyrdojim]

This is so awesome! When I was a little kid I loved the episodes when they would ride around in the Chariot.

[@williamhedges1519]

This is like the fictional scifiairshow come to life. It's almost unbelievable to see the chariot in action again. Beautiful interior too, I can appreciate all the work that went into it to make it so accurate.

[@done591030]

I always wanted to ride in it when I was a kid. Thanks for letting me ride! Beautiful job. Who am I trying to fool, I'm still a kid.

[@HopliteWarlord]

Wow, what a great replica, a true credit to the builders of this magnificent machine........true dedication!

[@topenddean]

Chris Pappas thank you so much for uploading this video!!!

[@chrismalios340]

lost in space 4 ever.... good work!!! awesome my friend

[@MrChief101]

homena homena homena... staggering, heaps of praise for the builders and believers. Aside from open eyeball strain, what is interesting is that was what everybody on set heard. That power train. Astonishing.

[@aussieburn777]

Brilliant what you can find online this is so authentic I'm speechless just a wonderful trip down memory lane thank u

[@Hartfordland]

STELLAR!!!!!!! I love it! Now all you need the B-9 robot and you are all set!

[@nicholasklangos9704]

Awesome especially to see it driving!! Gorgeous work!!

[@1kurto]

Who doesn't want one! I'd live in it!

[@emdman1959]

With out a doubt one of the coolest things I have seen in a long time. Nice job, I always loved the chariot from Lost in Space.

[@kymmoulds]

I grew up on Lost In Space and the Chariot was a great part of the series. Well done guys even if it is a replica they did great. Many thanks for the post.

[@james5460]

That is super cool. I can hear the eerie background music as it drives across the desert.

[@karolyhalasz1546]

FANTASTIC.......Outstanding..........Colossal...........The talent that went into that Chariot is unsurpassed!

[@abystle]

Such an amazing piece of machinery, I would love to see it in person.

[@LilJerg]

I'm speechless. What can anyone who was a kid in the 60's possibly say? This is just too good to be true.

[@commodorerook3797]

Wow! That is perfect!!! I would love to see them take it out to the desert to simulate am alien world! Great job guys!!!

[@richardcheng3288]

A blast from the Past! Wow!

[@mgrella63]

Simply Awesome I want to see it in person!!!

[@brendagarcia3712]

me too i am speechless what a blast for me to see that its beautiful

[@keithm8042]

Amazing work! I built a Full Size B9 Robot that took me around 9 months as well to finish. But yours is much more impressive! Thanks for sharing it and I hope you post more!

[@doginstine]

All you need is a robot to ride in the back. Great work guys.

[@georgee.williams1449]

doginstine Most of the film footage of the chariot was shot before the robot was written into the show. That's why in episode in which the colonists crawl out from under their heat shields to return to the crash site and the ship, John orders the robot (which followed them on "foot" to be dismantled and the piecs,stowed away, because when the chariot crosses the inland sea on the way back, the robot is very conspicuously absent.

[@gk10002000]

Well just a fantastic job. Well done. A few years ago I was working up in Mojave California and I was not very far from the place where they filmed many of the chariot driving around scenes and of course the famous crashing on the planet for the first time scene

[@736berkshire1]

simply superb,, and thanks for keeping show alive....

[@dd.greenefilms2598]

Wow totally kool to see this,thanks for sharing i grew up watching lost in space.

[@midos6767]

It would be kind of cool to drive that chariot in the NM or AZ desert and pretend to be on an alien planet just like on the Lost In Space TV show

[@Beamshipcaptain]

That has been my DREAM sine 1965. Drive it thru the 4-corners area or Western New Mexico!

[@jasonrodgers9063]

@silverbird58 The life forms in downtown L.A. are too creepy & scary for 1960's TV.

[@redneckraconteur]

"God Bless America" playing @ 3:10. Perfect!

[@dongilleo9743]

This was always my favorite piece of tech hardware from the original show. I would love to wear some Lost in Space clothes and take a ride in this.

[@AlecinMD]

Omg i wanna cry ! This is so cool to see this chariot again ! 😃

[@Studmasterify]

Gotta love the curtains! and the laser gun!

[@ercost60]

Freakin' awesome. Great project, thanks for sharing this!

[@windnchgo]

This right here is one of the coolest things I've ever seen!

[@mustangmooney21]

Totally amazing! I enjoyed watching this.

[@Dodger2204]

Okay, that is mind-blowing cool! Gotta love Lost In Space!

[@dinomate01]

This is wonderful :) A Dream come true ! The Chariot Lives again !

[@momoney2720]

Wow.... Thats bloody awesome.. Great work.!

[@strictlyesl3174]

That was one of my favorite episodes.

[@troybaker9184]

Beautiful !!!

[@MikeDarnold501]

Beautiful job! Amazed!!

[@markdorais2846]

Absolutely STUNNING !!!

[@rknill1]

Chris thanks for posting this. I would love to see this at the woodward dream cruise next summer.

[@InterstellarModeler]

Outstanding!

[@sofalogic]

My gosh this is the coolest thing ever. I was looking for some space pod footage and ran across this. I was 5 years old when the series came out. This took some epic work to build. I agree with the red rock trip. It was the best vehicle in the show from what I could see. What powerplant did you use. It sounded diesel but I didn't see any fumes. Love the interior detail. I want a ride from that mod 60's chair in the rear. I don't even want to know the cost.

[@RandyOnTheRadio]

I'm thinking, you're at a classic car show, you've entered your 65 Mustang, and yes, it is cool as hell... and then the Chariot from "Lost In Space" shows up... and you get that sinking feeling in your gut. Great replica. (I hope this one is water tight... I just watched an interview with June Lockhart, and she said the one on the show, was not and filled up with water on one of the episodes).

[@hastyberford]

Awesome! I always wondered how that huge thing fit into the Jupiter 2 with no sign of it from the inside. I bet this is a showstopper everywhere it goes.

[@Sennmut]

+hastyberford It would have been disassembled, and stowed in trunks/lockers, to be assembled upon arrival at Alpha Centauri. Space aboard, as in all spacecraft, would have been at a premium.

[@aliasdyln33]

Great question 'hastyberford'. On 'The Andy Griffith Show', Goober takes a car apart in one episode, and re-assembles it in Andy's jail. Sennmut, are you saying that the 'Robinson' family, Major West and the Robot (forget about Dr. Smith, due to his ailing back . . . 'oh, the pain, the pain!'), put the Chariot together 'by hand'? That's malarkey!

[@maxauburn]

That's amazing! Thank you for posting this video.

[@dukwcapt]

This is wicked awesome. I always hoped someone would recreate the Chariot! Looks very well done, I love it! Thanks for sharing, I would so enjoy hearing or reading about this project. Dream Toy.

[@moviecar6244]

Amazing. Yes as already mentioned I feel like 6 again! Good work. Ted Whitby, Ontario.

[@AdmiralPreparedness]

I was always hoping a venture capitalist would build them for the masses so we could go camping in them. Of course, on Alpha Centari that is.

[@briangarrow448]

Admiral Preparedness -Instead of glamour camping (glamping), would you call it science camping,(scamping)?

[@AdmiralPreparedness]

But of course!

[@dongilleo9743]

I know I'm responding to old comments, but I would love to see someone create a science fiction based camping adventure for people. Call me a nerd, but for sci-fi geeks it would be fun to drive out into the wilderness, camping for a few days or weekend, pretending to be investigating a new planet. You could test soil samples, collect rocks, photograph wildlife, all sorts of science type stuff. Of course, if the "Klingon" camping group on the other side of the hill takes offense at your presence, things could get messy.😀

[@richardwhite2344]

I have not seen anything so awesome is a long time!!!! As a huge fan of "Lost In Space" this is so very cool!!!!

[@nohighfidelity]

FANTASTIC! I want one. I live in Pittsburgh and this would navigate perfectly on our Pothole covered streets!

[@kenlupoli5659]

Fabulous Job Guys!!!!!! Awsome!!!

[@holtek86]

Such a truck would be good for picking up girls in Minsk

[@patrickmullins3004]

The EM-50 from Stripes would have more creature comforts. Chicks like to be pampered these days.

[@gregh7457]

Вы не правы, сэр. русские женщины любят мерседес

[@1kurto]

@@gregh7457 even though I don't understand you I gave you a thumbs up!👍

[@garyshaw9404]

Pretty cool but I wish you photographed more of the interior details as well.

[@Nallanyesmar]

Looks roomy. It really hauls in the TV version.

[@marksolarz3756]

Fantastic!

[@enigma7070]

OMG, this is outrageous. You should get a robot clone too!

[@THX--nn5bu]

"WARNING! WARNING! Will Robinson!"........awesome replica.

[@Springbok314]

Mr. Pappas: I agree with all the other enthusiastic comments; this takes me back to 6 years old and hooked on LIS just 5 minutes into the first episode. Could you elaborate on your Chariot; purpose-built, a restoration? Just fantastic! All you need is a dashboard sized Robot and perhaps the one-eyed monster hurling boulders!

[@northboundvideo9711]

Wow! Very cool with great detail too!

[@DarleneDeCicco]

Was way ahead of its time!

[@alreddog]

Great camper lol hope you got air all the windows I love the show and this and as a kid I all was wanted to know how they got it in the ship lol I came up with they put it together when they needed it

[@jeffmorse645]

I loved that show so much when I was a kid.

[@bonchance9241]

OH ! WOOOOOOOOOOW! gosh its so Fabulous i Love Lost in Space !

[@paulgee4336]

Nice job. Hope to see it in person some day.

[@scottfirman]

I plan on sharing the hell out of this video!

[@allgood6760]

That is amazing!... well done!

[@ZiddersRooFurry]

Wow. This is amazing.

[@stanstevens6289]

*I WANT ONE!!!* Watching this the LIS theme just plays in my heal :D

[@quadsman11]

Please look into getting booked for the Piston Power Show in Cleveland, Ohio IX CENTER I believe it is in March, but I am not sure ! This Chariot is a great example of what can be accomplished with just a dream ! Will be a major crowd drawing card !

[@johnpostava2839]

Man did this bring back some memories. I can't imagine how many hours it took to build. Where are you located? I would love to see it in person....

[@georgesaga8064]

!!!! Orale!!! Esta padriiisssimo congratulaciones it is wonderful

[@doniotte681]

Imagine if we could All have one on the Road instead of Cars now that would be Awesome, Thanks for Sharing Guy’s Great Work

[@lennyrowe9449]

Love it. Awesome job guys.

[@chrispappas5515]

It took about nine months.

[@toddj1365]

Very nice, Do you guys take it to shows? Well done, thanks for posting the vid !

[@jmm1000]

you DO know how insane this is, right? - god damn.

[@jmm1000]

original Burroughs dashlites: 500 dollars....Lexan: 3 grand. Seeing the faces of dudes with random 60's beaters when you roll up in the godamn Lost in Space CHARIOT?? Priceless. That can never get old.

[@PhilVerryChannel]

Love the enthusiasm dislike the foul language.

[@jmm1000]

sorry - it was the Deutronium Daquiri's talkin

[@arbee11]

Am I the only one to notice that the tracks are on backwards? Impressive none-the-less. Good job guys, brings back memories.

[@glibretti]

You have to bring the Chariot to the Lost in Space 50th anniversary celebration in New Jersey!!!

[@SicilianStealth]

THANK YOU for making it REAL.

[@soundguy005]

that has to be one of the coolest thing I have ever seen. Yes artoo45..instantly 6 years old again

[@davidbrown5357]

It would be nice to go back and forth to the store in.

[@omarr.dasilva9530]

congratulations .

[@rx4rays7]

Wow! Is that nice or what? Brings back a lot of memories. I wonder where is it kept, or can be seen,...?

[@gliderrider]

Very moving! That idea should have been developed more in the past. Think of what we could have had by now.

[@Beamshipcaptain]

It was. can you Google: BREAKAWAY CIVILIZATION?

[@cindyspangler3982]

The first time I saw the first Toyota mini Van's, I said "Holy s#it! That's the Chariot from Lost in Space"!

[@youcanthandlethetruth4553]

My God ...How far technology has come since the 60's

[@Sanpedranoazul]

Amazing!

[@thomwat]

Where's Will & Robot?! Great to see - thanks for the vid!

[@hamiltonpl]

The ultimate CLASSIC ride! Long live LOST IN SPACE. Indeed. Well, if Legendary Pictures gets that LIS reboot off the ground - they have a working Chariot now.

[@georgee.williams1449]

hamiltonpl I will not be watching the 2018 reboot because I think it will be as disastrous as Tim Burton's,reboot of Dark Shadows. Parker Posey as Dr. Smith? This will be a reboot of "Josie and the Pussycats in Outer Space."

[@ErnieLongus]

Definitely on my wish list of vehicles that I would like to own alongside the 66 Batmobile in the Mach 5

[@thorgustaafson8849]

I had the switch and go Chariot with the basic track setup in 67 or 68. Wish I had kept all my old toys from the 60's I would have been a wealthy man today.

[@Chipchase780]

A mobile greenhouse ! If the sun moves, move the greenhouse !

[@soxster101]

OMG! I'm impressed!

[@peterpaul231]

Excellent! Looks perfect!

[@brianmix1229]

Just jaw dropping.

[@loucrappi5869]

Something like that would be really handy in the winter storm
