- After 50 years in the same seat, John retired and bought an Indy car. It reminds him of listening to the races with his dad. This particular car has a rich, storied past being raced and transformed many times over. But that's not why he bought it. He likes to drive it. On the street.

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.
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.
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 RUclips channel and I’ll be uploading more eventually.
Sorry to be so off topic but does someone know of a tool to get back into an Instagram account??
I was stupid lost the account password. I love any tricks you can offer me!
@Bjorn Elian Instablaster ;)
@Musa Amir Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im in the hacking process atm.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
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.
The channel which knows when music must subside
We know the music that the people really want to hear!
@@emiliorodney881 shut up no one cares you don’t trust your girlfriend
Awesome!! Just flat out awesome. I watched this with a smile on my face for the whole video. More power to you John!
We had smiles the whole time we were shooting it!
Flat out awesome - just like this beautiful flathead!
Man. It’s impossible to be sad or angry driving something like that. He basically has lived the American dream. His own business with family, worked 50 years and now owns something (multiple) that makes him very happy. Well done, friend, I’m envious.
His kids sold the company to a competitor...
@@joeleonard9965 family are assholes. Same thing happened to an Aussie race legend Bob Jane.
Das muss ein wunderbares Gefühl sein, damit über öffentliche Straßen zu fahren.❗
Einfach nur Großartig.❗👍👏🤝
Freundlichst Willi . . . 🙋♂️
Something so special about these cars.
Outstanding shipmate. Press on. USS Kitty Hawk CV-63. Jan 1980 to July 1983.
I absolutely love John, his car, and the reason he drives it. Such car feels.
As a hot rodder, I love this video. Hot flathead V8 in a historical race car, ya just can't beat it. I like the guy's mentality, too. "Screw it, it makes me happy, I'm going to drive it on the street". Brilliant!
That's the way to roll fam
I am 80 years old and I just had a chuckle watching the "knee action" it took to get in the car. (2.04) I have to do that just to get in my 1/2 ton 4X4. Have fun...Arnie
Can't help but just smile while watching this. I want to be that guy when I'm old
YOU SIR, ARE AN INSPIRATION. Thanks for the example of not letting seniority hold you back.
Yeah age is only number not limitation in life!
Beautiful story. Beautiful ride❤
This could have been an hour and I’d have watched every minute. Very well done
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.
What a neat guy. So happy for him. And fantastic video. Many more years of happy driving to him.
Thanks for sharing....beautiful job
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.
Awesome story ! Great video. Thanks for sharing!
Flat out awesome story, car and owner!
Thank you for keeping a vehicle like this running. Enjoy this.
OMG, this is so cool and nostalgic, I wish that I could live the past again 🥲
Nothing starts your day like going for morning coffee in a 1925 Buick roadster
WOW... Great Video !! There are just certain things in Life, that makes Life worth Living.....This Video..Nails It !......Thank you very much....
2022, I sure hope Mr Bianchi is still running that car around from time to time. Thanks for the great story.
Wow, wow, WOW! Imagine driving such a beautiful piece of both art and history on the road! Truly amazing :D
Nothing better in life than a calling and a hobby that you love!
John Bianchi looks great for 75 years old, when you follow your heart, it seems like time stops for you to get out and smell the roses 🙂
Great story, great filming and great guys with legends as cars. If I get 75 years old I would call myself a lucky guy driving one of these phenomenal work of craftsmanship.
Your cinematography is is amazing. Adds so much to your great storytelling.
Anyone that's fooled with an old car gets this same feeling . Truly remarkable race car.
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'.
Love the car. No discernable license plate, turn indicator, lights or mirror. You have allot of balls.
And right in my backyard. What a cool car to drive around on a sunny day!!
Got to love it! I'm 75, he's 75, Man go for it!
Nice story. Great explanation on how this beauty came to be.
I Appreciate You Sir driving this beast of a car . Most people show them lord knows why as cars are built to be driven not parked for ever more . Thanks for posting this race car it really does want to take off ! Beautiful Race Car .
I hope to see him on the streets around here. Great work.
This put a smile on my face. Thank you.
This car is so cool. Love Indy type roadsters. Great video and thanks for sharing.
what a great bunch of fellas keeping the past alive, love it.
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.
Nog nooit zo'n mooie documentaire gezien over de ouders van Brum
What a beautiful story!
Love this so much. Hope to see it on the road some day as I cruise through Seattle.
Simple magic. Fantastic, feel-good video - good health to all
What a beautiful video. Emotional and inspiring
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?
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 ^^
most states allow a lack of legal vehicle requirements if the vehicle was originally manufactured and sold without it
@@teeth-man except this was never sold as a manufactured car lmao
@@D3nn1s
Manufactured
Man - factured- made by man 👨
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".
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!
epic and an absorbing film, more please !!
Great short movie! Thanks.
One word for this man...God bless 🙏
This man knows his craft. These cars are beautifully restored.
I love vintage race cars. These guys are really talented.
Fantastic & inspirational . Thanks for sharing !
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.
Some beautiful shots in this, wow.
The passion for the past and present ... what beautiful car. The Hunter.
Legends never die !
very beautiful car and nice engine sound
I can feel the spirit and passion of this piece of engineering
75 years old having a fun... Every day may be his last day, but he still thinks about fun.
Beautiful collection.
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!
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
FANTASTIC!!!
john have always loved your passion
loved it! I was smiling when John said it gets busy in the cockpit and that the car wants to hunt, for many thats a no no, they dont know what they are missing!
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
It's awesome to see this kind of stuff in my home state.
This video made my day! Amazing work!
That's just put a huge smile on my face
I really like that he actually drives it, maybe not a bunch - but at least it gets exercised. Great history on the car, and its true how race cars go on to become other race cars, parts go here or there into other cars.
Great shots, nice paint.
Driving that car would be something I'd never forget.
wow, the algorithm just offered this up to me and this is amazing content. Beautifully produced and a wonderful car and story, too! thanks!
Watching your videos is more it's like an experience it's amazing
Very Masterpiece. Kiss from Italy^^
this was really enjoyable, thank you .
I really love this man.
Fantastic. I love every element of this story and video. Great guys involved.
Really cool. Thank you.
Our pleasure :)
Excellent, thank you!
Cholera, piękny wóz. Świetny film!
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
That old car sounds so good
That opening shot is so good
The worn edges say it all! Thank you!
Old cars price never dies too. It's alive!!
That's sooo beautiful! I love that thing!🤘🔥
That is such a cool car. I love all the old open wheelers.
That is just the coolest thing with the best story!
Old cars hits different
Such a beautiful car!
That thing is BEAUTIFUL!
that

Such a beautiful, amazing car!
Очень трогательно. Невероятно приятно слушать и смотреть. Огромное спасибо!
Great story, beautifully shot and edited.
i love seeing the suspension work as the car is bumping on an asphalt
