1967 Karmann Ghia Viper V-10 "Blue Mamba"

[@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!

[@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

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!

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.

[@joyceoliver3881]

That my friend is the sickest custom jacked,picture perfect thing of beauty I've seen in a long time.What you guys have done to that little ole Ghia absolutely blows my mind.I had a 57 Ghia many years ago,I loved that car even though it was kept exactly original from the day it was made until I bought it and I drove it for two years,didn't change a thing,not even the original blaupunkt radiol(which didn't work any more).It had the 1200cc motor, no syncromesh for 1st gear but I could fill it up with gas and drive for two weeks before I needed to re fuel.I miss that car so much but never would have dreamed I would see something as nuts as what you have created.My hat is off to you guys,well done!

That's One Badass build!!! Form AND Function at it's level best!!! NO ONE would expect a V10 under the hood of this Beast!!! To be able to Smoke the crap out of anything you encounter must be Awesome!!! And just as embarrassing to those who try it... I bet you can't wait to get it on the road to experience that first hand!!! lol.... All the modifications made that can be seen, like the Mini Cooper headlamps just enhanced the look. I wish I could see it in person to really be able to appreciate it. Seeing it online is one thing but I'm sure you have to see it in person to get the full effect. If it drives half as good as it looks then you've achieved "Greatness"!!! Man, What a Treat!!! I bow to your imagination!!!! Bravo 👀👏👍

You know, looking right at it, it's rightly stunning...but doesn't it look better, when he says it's "steel". For me, I just cannot stand carbon fibre. It's just hundreds of thousands of $'s for a fancy plastic. It's just not good enough. I'd sacrifice weight for metal, all day long.

I wish I could put my dad’s VW Bug he built back in the early 70’s when I was 5/6 years old. 327 V8 crossram intake, Muncie 4 speed. Since it was made back then it has a black shag carpet interior with vinyl diamond tuck panels and roof. Hurst shift with the two finger reverse lockout. Clarion stereo with integrated CB radio. 4 wheel disc brakes. Dual exhaust comes out of original spot but turned and flared 30 degrees left and right. Black with large metal flake paint. Flared fenders and a Darth Vader like grille opening in the hood. Car is just badass and still has the best engineering for being over40 years old. Sits on a modified Austin Healy chassis. In the 80’s he installed a 383 and a B&M low profile blower.
