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.
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.
Richard meet Richard, how did I miss this episode ❤. Thanks for the upload creator! Chip Foose, Aaron, dad and mom. A sight for happy eyes. Wow all the car Mr. Foose had. Zephyr cool. How can you put a price? 4 of my favorite car people. Even though I never seen Foose dad built a car. Like father like son is all I know! 👌
Chip is an absolute legend, and that Pantera is beyond beautiful. I really want to believe the back story about Richard finding it, but if you know anything about reality TV, the likelihood of it being 100% true is incredibly low. What an automobile!
@@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!).
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.
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
Welcome to the real world. Except, most of the time, the grunts that do the work think that they're the only ones who work, and managers just sit around all day and don't deserve any credit. So they cry about it. I know because I've been the grunt that thought the exact same way, and I've been the boss, just wishing some days that I was the grunt again. Now, I'm my own boss, and I'm my only employee. So I don't have the owner and investors holding my feet to the fire, and employees crying about feeling underappreciated. I only worry about getting from point A to point B without any hassle from the Smokies ...and the price of diesel.
its a hard sell when you can EASILY make 600-750 wheel horsepower with a junkyard LS..........it would definitely look cool in a long nosed street rod though
Cybertrucks are stainless steel, which is very difficult and extremely expensive to form into any kind of appealing shape. The DeLorean almost made stainless look cool, but that's the reason why most auto manufacturers don't use it. That and they don't have any financial incentive to make vehicles that don't rust and fall apart. Lol
Chip is phenomenal. I've done restoration for over thirty years. I'd say he has more talent in the dirt under his finger nails than most people have in their whole body.👍💯
@@Nick_B_Badthen you've never seen an interview with Boyd Coddington about Chip Foose he had a lot to say that was negative. I'm not saying anything bad about chip but Boyd sure did
You must be an Uber Tesla driver!!! Ugh it’s too bad you have to wait to charge your electric car!! LOL I’ll just drive by you in my gas guzzling truck and enjoy every minute of it!!! Ugh!!!!
Chip Foose bought a ford from my brother in law. And after looking at what he had and some of what he has built for yrs was truing to get him to work for him...Tony refused to leave washington at the time,!
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.”
Unlike Richard Rawlings, Chip Foose actually builds his cars. Where as Richard probably hasn’t even changed a tire. Doesn’t take a whole lot to hire good mechanics and slap your name on their work.
Didn't the guy who ordered the Dia Kosa originally wanted to buy the Bertone Carabo, but they didn't wanna sell it so he went to Foose to build him a replica?
Richard definitely was looking out for the foose family on this one. That pantera is much nicer and valuable that the zephyr. Good on him for taking the L on this one.
Haha! The reaction to the statement the Mustang is a 4 cylinder is exactly me! It’s a great engine, don’t get me wrong, but in a Mustang…..I don’t feel it. Weight reduced F100 maybe.
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..
Was that modified from a real DeTomaso Pantera? If so, what a waste. Awesome radical car build, and they kept it in amazing condition! But I hope the original body got saved, even if in parts!
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..
Dude, mister Sam Foose passed away in 2018, this is a old episode...
@@sidekick258that's OK. Sam got to see it again.
@@sidekick258 I;m so glad he got to see it. ❤
I loved seeing Sam on overhaulin' he reminded me of my grandpa who was a car guy too
isso não tem preço, é maravilhoso.
That’s the only place that car should go. How cool to see it again after 40 years and still looks that good.
No one else would want it. 😅😂🤣
Can I say it look very much like the Alfa Romeo Carabo
@@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`.
My grandpa was in the Santa Barbara igniters car club with Sam. My grandma Gail used to baby sit chip! Always heard good things.
Cool
Chip goose is a total class act and kudos to Richard for bringing the car back to its rightful home 👍🏻🇺🇸
You could spell his name right
It' actually spelled Chip Moose.
Chirp Goose is my hero too.
@@MartintheTinmanAuto Correct is a cruel mistress......
@@carlstyth8368 that guy should stop asking his goose for s ex via text then
I love that these two, fine gentlemen worked it out so Sam could be reunited with the car that he poured so much love into customizing.
I really enjoy seeing cars reunited with their previous owners.
Way over the top cars and guys
I met chip foose in Dallas while I was working for Herb's paint and body. Really awesome guy. Still looks exactly the same.
He doesn't seem to age

Even earlier than '75. This is a direct rip off of the 1971-ish Alfa Carabo concept car from Bertone.
@@UberLummox I just looked that up, because I had never heard of that before. That's amazing.
@@TheAnomaly0 Glad to hear you learned about it. Very happy to help. Yes it is amazing!

The best part of this video is the Foose guys. The other half can get lost
I see where Wiegert borrowed ideas for his Vector, similarities are uncanny.
I came here to say this
I wad just about to say the exact same thing.
Vectors are B.A.
Forse simply copied the Bertone Carabo, Wieger updated it
@@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!).
First thing I thought was the Vector!
Old man Foose took some serious styling cues from the Lamborghini Lancia Stratos Zero.
I think you mean the Alfa Romeo Carabo, designed by Bertone. Check that car out. Old man Foose made a replicar.
Chip Foose and Dave Kindig are the greatest car designers/ builders of the 21st century
The Ring Brothers beg to differ. As do I.

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

Chip always looks like he just got off a 5 day bender lol
Has that work ethic illness.. 😑 can't just sit still..
5 day bender for Foose is finishing one of his designs by the deadline. Never seen him touch alcohol.
@@happydays8171 i didn’t imply he’s a boozer or drug addict. I was comments on his appearance
@@JerryC25 You would look like that if you put in the hours he works!
THERE IS A LS V12 engine avaliable - aussie guys made it ! check it out with 4 turbos !
its a hard sell when you can EASILY make 600-750 wheel horsepower with a junkyard LS..........it would definitely look cool in a long nosed street rod though
This car looks more modern than a Cybertruck. I'm not even joking.
Cybertrucks are stainless steel, which is very difficult and extremely expensive to form into any kind of appealing shape.
The DeLorean almost made stainless look cool, but that's the reason why most auto manufacturers don't use it. That and they don't have any financial incentive to make vehicles that don't rust and fall apart. Lol
This is a replica of one of the most beautiful Alfa Romeo's ever made, an iconic 70's wedge car 👍😮
This is a not particularly good knockoff of the already famous 4 year old original Gandini Alfa Carabo.
I still class Chip Foose as the godfather of custom car restorations.
Chip is phenomenal. I've done restoration for over thirty years. I'd say he has more talent in the dirt under his finger nails than most people have in their whole body.👍💯
I like slick Rick a lot better when Aaron is around...lol
If I had a choice, I'd go with one of the Hemisphere models... I've always loved that car (except for the paint & wheel choices).
How’s the FOOSE 1 number plate on the shelf at 3:39
It’s from South Australia, where I live.
Very cool.
Anyone else seeing the inspiration for the Cyber Truck?
Aaron Kauffman wearing the 64 Galaxie shirt! Love it.
Chip is great as he understands that convertibles are far better than a hard top car
I would’ve never guessed that to be a Pantera at one time. It totally looks like a kit car.
Even back when this video was filmed, you can see that Aaron seemed distant, distracted and longing to branch out on his own.
P-40 Warhawk, not a P-51 Mustang. Dealing with RR must have been painful.
I have worked for of them. Chip is a lot nicer to work for then Richard
I’ve never heard anything negative about Chip.
yeah,ok
@@Nick_B_Badthen you've never seen an interview with Boyd Coddington about Chip Foose he had a lot to say that was negative. I'm not saying anything bad about chip but Boyd sure did
@@terrysherman1560Boyd didn't have a great reputation himself.
I met chip 20 years ago at the Detroit autorama, cool guy.
The Curtiss P-40 Flying Tigers had the shark face. Not the Mustang.
Richard saying ( Let her rip tater chip) to chip ....🤣💀💀
This car spawned sooooo many concept cars... and several million childhood drawings.
Oh man the good old days. Definitely miss seeing Aaron run the Gas Monkey team!
That zephyr is beautiful. Love Chip's heart. Chip is obe great guy
Foose is a cool cat man!!! God Bless him!!
ugh
You must be an Uber Tesla driver!!! Ugh it’s too bad you have to wait to charge your electric car!! LOL I’ll just drive by you in my gas guzzling truck and enjoy every minute of it!!! Ugh!!!!
Chip is all class , overhauling is my favorite car show
Chip Foose bought a ford from my brother in law. And after looking at what he had and some of what he has built for yrs was truing to get him to work for him...Tony refused to leave washington at the time,!
Aaron looked so happy throughout this whole thing.
Many moons ago "kimosabi" ....itchy Ritchy is a clown
Would've taken all three to make me part with the Dia Koza 200 .. good to see it come full circle
AARon is in the vid how old is this ?
Dois iconis da industria automotiva 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Good choice on the Zephyr. I was leaning towards the Ford GT for a daily driver, though…
I like how Aaron does the same thing as I do when appreciating a car. Hands behind back. 1-2 foot lean in 😅
Gotta love it when a plan comes together...
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.”
>>a 1976 AMC Pacer
Today, the Amc Pacer is cool 👍🏼
car guys showing maximum respect
Is this an old video or is Aron back?
This videos like six years old
Unlike Richard Rawlings, Chip Foose actually builds his cars. Where as Richard probably hasn’t even changed a tire. Doesn’t take a whole lot to hire good mechanics and slap your name on their work.
Looks so much like the 1968 Alfa Romeo carabo concept car???
You're close. It's an exact rip off except it's topless.
Looks like what would happen if Vector had decided to build a targa/open-top version
How many times are these clips gonna be regurgitated?
It looks just like the Alfa Romeo Carabo....!!! Greetings from Portugal...!!!
Yep it's a replicar.
Olá Portugal ✌
@@tcae8658 um abraço fraterno aqui...deste "burgo"...!!!🙏🙏🙏
Wait, that's Aaron next to Richard. Did he return to the gas monkey garage? Or is this an old video?
Old video! Just up loaded recently.🙋♂️
Old video as Chip's dad passed in 2018.
What year was this filmed?
Amazing looks like a Vector W8
Chip Foose, damn does this guy ever age!
All kidding aside, always great to see him on camera.
My dogs name was zephyr, he was 18 years old, rip zephyr.
chips dad seems like a funny friendly guy
Didn't the guy who ordered the Dia Kosa originally wanted to buy the Bertone Carabo, but they didn't wanna sell it so he went to Foose to build him a replica?
LOL first sec I saw the car I was saying to myself... what Pantera? It is a Carabo!
it becomes obvious where the look of the Vector was modeled after
Mmm…. No. It’s nearly a complete copy of the 1968 Alfa Romeo Carabo other than the open top. I guess that’s cool.
@@osxwrangler Exactly. And it warms my heart to see so many people knowing some automotive history commenting on this stupid video/channel. Well done!
I wish I could design for Foose. He doesn't need anyone, though. He's awesome!
Oh, they could use the help.
I love his commentary he said whoops 😂
Richard definitely was looking out for the foose family on this one. That pantera is much nicer and valuable that the zephyr. Good on him for taking the L on this one.
If you put the british merlin engine in p51 mustang hot rod then it would sound like an aeroplane like they did in the 40s.
Man, Chip is such a damn legend.
Rest in peace Sam
Why did old man foosie copy the 1968 Alfa Carabo Bertone concept car note-for-note except topless?
That man really is a chip of the old block
When did Aaron Kaufman come back?
Chip is the nicest guy in the Biz
Cool video awesome! 😎 I love ❤️ your on you tube Richard Rawlings. Drop it like it’s hot! 🔥🔥🔥
How long ago was this episode? Because didn't aaron split from richard and do his own thing years ago...?
That’s what I was wondering too.
U should go to river Rd and buy the mustangs from Gladstone Auto body in Oregon. U know keep everything the right muscle instead of the wrong
That Buick was looking good!
I really miss those days when Aaron and Richard got along. ☹️
Haha! The reaction to the statement the Mustang is a 4 cylinder is exactly me! It’s a great engine, don’t get me wrong, but in a Mustang…..I don’t feel it. Weight reduced F100 maybe.
I love that HemisFear car!
I have a Foose Ford F-150 2008 need help please sir
How do you dare drive a car that valuable on tires that old?! I’ve had tires under 10 years old come apart let alone from 1975!
Chip Foose is still alive? Amazing
I saw him at John Wayne airport the day he flew to Texas for this.
These two are real car guys who know their business and create wonderful cars bad Chad has a junkyard man
I think "Fish Taco" means something different here
F the P51. That was modeled after a P40. So tired of everybody thinking everything is a P51.
From 2014?
Foose cars always look like a 14 year old designed them.
Alfa Romeo Carabo 1968. Marcello Gandini for Bertone.
That 42 convertible is waaaaay cooler than a pantera
glad chip got it !!!!!!!
I seem to remember having a matchbox/hot wheels of something very similar as a child.
Very cool custom.
yeah the pink pather cartoon car
@@peterroach7666 Bull$hit. You know nothing.
It was a Matchbox...#75. I have one in front of me. Came in light metallic purple, also pink I believe
The fact Richard wants to change a Foose design is just another reason I don’t care for him.
