The best part of this video to me is the fact that Foose's dad still alive to see his son's success and of course see his old car again..

[@sidekick258]

Dude, mister Sam Foose passed away in 2018, this is a old episode...

[@chrisheffernan6600]

​@@sidekick258that's OK. Sam got to see it again.

[@heaven-is-real]

[@danilodefreitasfernandes6970]

That’s the only place that car should go. How cool to see it again after 40 years and still looks that good.

[@joewearsadroolbib7347]

No one else would want it. 😅😂🤣

[@MojoMan17]

Can I say it look very much like the Alfa Romeo Carabo

[@UberLummox]

@@MojoMan17 More than very much. Absolutely identical to the Alfa Carabo show car except for being topless. Nothing the Foosies do is original. But that thing is killer, because Bertone`.

I see where Wiegert borrowed ideas for his Vector, similarities are uncanny.

[@crosbyworx7284]

I came here to say this

[@tomrichards6207]

I wad just about to say the exact same thing. Vectors are B.A.

[@stevenproost5085]

Forse simply copied the Bertone Carabo, Wieger updated it

[@mauricedelarosa6083]

@@stevenproost5085Yeah, I agree. It looks like a total ripoff of an Alfa Romeo Carabo. The biggest change might be the open top. It even has the scissor doors like the Carabo (which preceded it’s use by the Lambo Countach BTW!).

[@joeljohnson3676]

First thing I thought was the Vector!

[@TheAnomaly0]

Close your eyes and drift back in time to 1975. Now just imagine seeing that car ripping down the highway. It must’ve seemed like a spaceship to anyone in that era. It still looks cool today, but it had to have been spectacular back then. Good memories for the Foose family. Glad for them.

[@brudel001]

Was thinking the same thing - its looks kinda futuristic even today but in 70's this could have easily been in some tv series as a protagonist car with special powers.

[@UberLummox]

Even earlier than '75. This is a direct rip off of the 1971-ish Alfa Carabo concept car from Bertone.

[@TheAnomaly0]

@@UberLummox I just looked that up, because I had never heard of that before. That's amazing.

[@UberLummox]

@@TheAnomaly0 Glad to hear you learned about it. Very happy to help. Yes it is amazing!

I watched the program last brought this car back to basics. I want to establish the real truth to this custom built car. Sam and my Dad, (Ray Kinney)were friends for a very long time. Project Design was name of their shop,in Goleta CA. Sam was the office manager. Did his part of the business well,Ray took care of the shop. Sam took credit for the build,in witch he spent very little time working on the project. In fact Ray was the one who had all the time invested in the project,did 95% of all the work. Richard I'm sorry to bother people with this problem. At this time Ray's wife stepped up,brought attention to the situation,made my dad give up his 50% of the body shop,Ray and Sam's friendship fell apart,dad walked away. Since they both worked in the same industry they both had to be civil with each other,and where until the day they both past away. A great team together fell apart because of one person who had to have the spotlight on himself. Should have been stated in a way due to the fact that the shop (project design) was the best custom body shop in the state of California. True facts on the part that should have been.

[@christ510]

What a crying shame, sorry to hear your dad didn't get his recognition.

[@trillrifaxegrindor4411]

i feel like this is the truth in most custom car building shops , a drawing or concept isnt the final product of a build like this

[@donrepp7110]

My dad Ray Kinney did not want to be the center of the spot light. He always said that the shop as a whole is what brought the car together. ​@christ510

[@kevinthomas4930]

Old man Foose took some serious styling cues from the Lamborghini Lancia Stratos Zero.

[@mauricedelarosa6083]

I think you mean the Alfa Romeo Carabo, designed by Bertone. Check that car out. Old man Foose made a replicar.

[@jmaros15]

I still class Chip Foose as the godfather of custom car restorations.

[@edwardfletcher7790]

This is a replica of one of the most beautiful Alfa Romeo's ever made, an iconic 70's wedge car 👍😮

[@d4l3d]

This is a not particularly good knockoff of the already famous 4 year old original Gandini Alfa Carabo.

[@aspicio9127]

I was recently reunited with my first love…a 1976 AMC Pacer. The thing has more glass than the Sears Tower and could go from 0 to 60 in under a minute. It needed a gas cap though so I visited my mechanic. When I said, “I need a gas cap for my Pacer” he thought for a moment and then replied, “Nah, not a fair trade.”

[@edwoll]

This show was made in 2014. I love Chip's work for the most part. However, he should have never hacked into that Ford GT. He obviously never had any idea what they were going to be selling for in future years. You have to love Richard's lack of couth. Nothing like insulting one of the top designers in the automobile industry / your former meal ticket; regarding his taste in wheels and build of the Zephyr? Did he really suggest that Aaron paint over a Picasso? That's gratitude for you..
