Old Race Cars Never Die

[@VinnyMartello]

This is really touching. I love seeing the race cars live on. My grandfather passed away yesterday and he was one of the original stock car drivers. He's the reason I love cars. I'm building an old coupe and it has his name on it. I want to honor him by it and drive it till the wheels fall off.

[@noblegoldheart8508]

I am very sorry to hear about that my friend. I have no doubt that your grandfather is proud of you, and he’s proud that you’re building that car for him. If you don’t mind me asking, what kind of car are you building? I myself am a huge lover of cars, and I love hearing about projects like yours.

[@VinnyMartello]

I appreciate that buddy thank you. It’s a 36 Plymouth coupe, rocking a 35 Chevy grill shell and a Chevy straight six. I have a handful of short clips about it on my KZbin channel and I’ll be uploading more eventually.

John is a car guy in every sense of the term. The fact that he actually drives this thing is what makes him the truest of car guys.

Awesome!! Just flat out awesome. I watched this with a smile on my face for the whole video. More power to you John!

John's other life was as a crew member on the Miss Budweiser unlimited hydroplanes, there are two miniature APBA Gold Cup trophies there on his shelf.

[@therainforest4314]

I absolutely love his attitude about the car and how he enjoys driving it publicly or otherwise. What baffles me is how? How can this car be street-legal with no lights, no turn-signal-lights, and no brake-lights, at least none that I'm aware of? How does that work, legally?

[@D3nn1s]

Same, turn signals shouldnt be an issue, no plate and no light might, but i guess depends where in the us you are^^ In the eu this would be unthinkable, though its pretty cool ngl ^^

[@teeth-man]

most states allow a lack of legal vehicle requirements if the vehicle was originally manufactured and sold without it

[@D3nn1s]

@@teeth-man except this was never sold as a manufactured car lmao

[@markserpa9066]

@@D3nn1s Manufactured Man - factured- made by man 👨

[@nervecentral]

It isn't street legal. He even said so. I think his attitude is that if he gets pulled over he is going to show that he registered it and insured it and let the chips fall where they may. That may mean a fine or it may mean the cop says "that's cool, just keep her under 100".

[@hexahero11]

The most astonishing aspect of this video to me is that it is of the cinema-grade quality and almost every shot is a masterpiece, color, staging etc. Got in my recommendations, haven't watched this channel before.

[@donziperk]

What a great car and a great story. The best part is he drives it. If I owned it I would drive it as well. My garage contains no trailer queens and never will. I’ve been looking for the right pre 40s race car.

Flat out awesome story, car and owner!

[@johnbastille5483]

Passion! John's life is full and it is a treat to listen to his description of how busy one has to be in the cockpit with this car. Imagine many similar cars racing together and how sketchy that must have been!

[@theguywiththewhistle]

Your cinematography is is amazing. Adds so much to your great storytelling.

[@karlk6860]

Very awesome vid! Its a rare opportunity to ever see anybody with such a deep inside passion for driving a car. John recognizes the historical significance of this car and by driving it he gets to feel and be a part of that history through the drivers seat, there can be no better way! I collect and restore older US and German military trucks and I have always owned what could be considered a fast car and frankly the thrill of driving a car that ANYBODY else can go out and buy and with a computer hooked to it can go over 200 mph the thrill is gone for me, this is my last "fast" car. I would rather drive my 50 Power Wagon that I spent 2 years taking apart and rebuilding every single piece on this truck, THAT puts a mile on my face similar to Johns as seen in this video! John I in all sincerity take my hat off to you, your attitude is the greatest inspiration to many of us out here, and greatly appreciated by me! Thanks for sharing!

[@leonardhopper857]

Nice!!! This is my corner of the world. Dads home track was Silverdale Speedway in Kitsap County. 1967 thru 1973. Superstocks, ran the #37 with Dave 'Snoopy" Grayson at the wheel. First year was a '54 Buick wagon, affectionately known as the 'baby hippo' and then it was a '56 Buick century after that. Raced and/or attended races at Monroe, Skagit, Elma when it was still the old mile and a quarter, Port Angeles, Langley, B.C., Spanaway, Centralia, and Portland. I remember watching those old sprint cars at Portland, loud, fast and 'squirrelly'.

I hope to see him on the streets around here. Great work.

I grew up knowing cars and wheeling was in my dna my dad always talked about his cars he owned the races he ran at pikes peak and bandimere but one day he ran the 1/4 with me in his peterbuilt and all in the 14 seconds i both became forever addicted and also lost any chance of pursuing anything auto till i moved out thanks to an overeacting mom and now i own a shop and am on my way to once again making a pass so this super inspiring also the essence of real race cars never die is how my shop runs ive built many smaller projects completly from scratch wich has always been a masive point of pride now i know why....also no where near retIred dont think i ever will be able to but i get that wanting to wake up just to drive feeling sometimes the urge to hear a turbo spool is the only thing that gets me up

[@Jack2421992]

This man knows his craft. These cars are beautifully restored.

[@DHW256]

Indeed, those 30s and earlier cars are the best-looking Indy cars made, IMHO. And it is a great feeling to drive an old racer: I was compelled to pursue old racers, at 34, after nearly dying from a severe injury. I'm blessed to live among plenty of empty country roads, where I can open up an old '25 Ford T V8 hot rod, or a '20 Ford T Rajo-powered fairground racer, and know I'm alive. www.americantorque.com/page/0/2585/ www.americantorque.com/page/0/1123/ Folks often ask, "Don't you get cold/hot/uncomfortable?" all the time. And I always respond, "You'll have to want it, then you'll understand why that stuff doesn't bother me." Driving an open (even bodyless) car that feels the road and fills the air with mechanical sounds is exhilarating. So much more rewarding than a modern car.

[@pahwraith]

Like riding a 60s/70s motorcycle then? 😉

[@DHW256]

@@pahwraith Love 'em, but won't ride them where I live. The cagers around here are the worse drivers anywhere. I lost an uncle, my dad, and my best friend who were riding their motorcycles, killed by negligent cagers. A vintage car isn't much safer, but it's easier to control when evading the cagers who refuse to drive, preferring to aim their cars with their phone/meth/beer/dope goggles.

[@PaulSchofield-p6b]

The prewar race cars are amazing for what they were and with the technology they had available at the time. More amazing the guys and some ladies that drove them were made of brave stuff. For anyone to experience driving these cars like John it an experience that cannot be matched. The cars separated the men from the boys and even today at road car speeds, demonstrate how difficult they were to drive. Explained very well here. Brilliant to see John's retirement is taking him back to his youth. Would it be that we all had the opportunity. Magical.

[@Rygoat]

I know full well that this is a weird thing to say but... That car sounds happy. When all the others have rusted, crashed, been lost to time or polished up and put in a museum that car is still driving out under the sun with someone who appreciates it. Cruising amongst all those white boxes on wheels is that gorgeous bit of passion and craftsmanship

But how on Earth he gets away with driving this rig on the street is beyond me. No headlights, no taillights, no brake lights, no wipers etc. I'd get busted immediately if I were driving this car here! John must have an 'in' with the Seattle Police Department!

Hello from Belgium, I discovered your channel and, magic of the internet, I discovered this Mr. Bianchi and his passion. In my country, we had two drivers named Bianchi, Jules and Mauro, the first was killed in a racing Ferrari, during testing for the 24 hours of Le Mans, their grandson, Jules, raced in Formula One and unfortunately killed during the Japanese Grand Prix in 2015. The links on both sides of the ocean are sometimes surprising

[@rockdog2584]

This really warms my heart. First off...I really love that body style. I would love to drive that myself. Second...I grew up (back in the sixties) with my Dad racing whatever our 'daily driver' was at the time. This included a '54 Jag XK120 (with an Oldsmobile 303 "Rocket '88" engine in it), an Alfa Spyder, and a Porche 356A coupe. The only 'real' race car he got to have was an old Formula Junior with a whole whopping 1200cc British four-banger in it. As a kid, I got to grow up 'in the pits', as it were. Third...this is all kinda right here in my own neighborhood, sort-o'-speak. I'll have to keep Mr. Woolery's name in mind...just in case I ever get to bring home a flathead V8 to build. Just as a note...between this vid and the one about cycle karts, I find myself inclined to subscribe to this channel.
