No kidding!! I’d love to see that crazy Greenwood C3 with the huge flairs out on the street! Too cool. I was laughing and giggling the whole time. Can’t imagine what the guys on the bikes were thinking when that hell dog of a car, came roaring by, driven by a total babe! The sound is incredible! Must have blown their minds. Thanks for another bitchin video!
I totally enjoy all of your videos that you post on RUclips. But, like a lot of people do when they’re making these RUclips videos, they don’t actually tell us fans who are so interested in your videos where the person’s shop is so we can possibly do business with them?
@@wildman318 Every episode we've ever released, until this one, has some sort of contact into for the owner. Lance has no website and no social media, which are usually the ways we try to connect people. We'll update the description section if he's willing to release his email address. Thanks for the inquiry!
Nicole? I'm 71 and would immediately put the beans to that Nova. After watching all your videos, just know, you have a beautiful heart. Your joy is brilliant. The owners are a wide spectrum of ages from my age to family guys. It is just wonderful. So... 50s throu 2000s, I've thrilled to drive flat out when safe...ish to do so. Grace... grace! This was perfect. Good on both of you for doing what you love!
This is not my type of car and yet, Nicole makes it so great that I desperately want one now. It just seems so... fun! The high reving nature, the noise, the effort... it's just so raw and alive. I love it. This is quite simply the best automotive content on RUclips. A lot of other RUclips creators could learn a lot from Nicole and her crew.
I drove at cajon Speedway in El cajon California ,in the early 90's to mid 90's, now 67 years old dam near teard up. Because of this show and I could still get in c-pit and drive today. Good show peps.
I can hear Black Sunshine by White Zombie in my head during those hood shots. Lance is doing the Lord’s work keeping these old race cars going. Another great episode.
The nova caught me off guard here. Sure brought back a lot of memories as a kid going to some Winston west races and other super stock tracks back in the mid 70’s. My dad used to be in that class and the nova being untouched is exactly how I remember them. The smell of fuel and brakes in the pits is almost there. Crazy good episode
How awesome was that ! I used to have an M22 in my malibu.. used to love the whine.. the nova sounds mean and you drove it like a boss !! Thanks for sharing
I like the production values, I like the car, I like the host, and I really like it when a new video comes out. Happy people have so much more to give to the world. I value that.
ooh looks fun, u have the greatest show and fun! he is living the life. my hero; no one wants to work with some of the old stuff any more. got me leaning forward in my seat watching you drive that beastmode lol
And I thought I have a lot f parts and pieces sitting in my garage - very well knowing that I will never ever grow old enough to use them. But this is incredible! I am truely stunned! Thanks Nicole for this insight! Love it!
When my dad passed away he had two dirt late model chassis, two modifieds one A mod and one B mod, three Super stock chassis (four if you count the car I used to race) probably ten Chevy big blocks and half a dozen Ford Cleveland engines (he had a thing for canted valves) another half dozen SBC engines, a ton of NASCAR cranks, cams, heads, valves and filters from the auctions he would haunt. At least four dry sump systems Three C3 Corvettes, two Porsche 944s, some weird little kit car with a SBC in the back. Plus two 53' trailers as well as a couple of regular race trailers full of more racing stuff. Quick change axles, control arms, springs etc. It was a long process cleaning it all up and selling most of it. 50+ years of racing memories in that house.
i love y'alls' show sm! i love Nicoles' enthusiastic and respectful demeanor, i love the close up shots showing all the little details, i love that you only put music at the start and the end of an episode, aaa i can't even. great work! and god, what a metal monster this car is.. whoa
Yeehaw, what a beast. I love how your reactions when you start to drive your all excited, grinning and laughing, the after a few stops (and coaching I would assume) you start getting serious, with an occasional grin. It has been 30 years since I have had the opportunity to drive anything even remotely like the things you manage to find and coerce people to let you drive, but I really get a thrill out of watching you. Thanks for bringing back a lot of memories.
It was fun working with Dudley at the Madera Speedway. It was Great to see his car run. He was a great engine builder. Met him when I was 18 and I am 71 now.
Hi Nicole, Another amazing video. You could spend a lifetime wondering around his shop. Wow! So much to see and to learn about. So cool! I mentioned before, I can’t drive. But, I could spend countless hours listening, learning and looking around a place like his. Just amazing. Thanks so much for doing what you do! Sharing this kind of content just makes me happy. Thank you!
That brought back a lot of memories, my first race car was a 72 Chevelle, converted to a dirt circle track race car. Drove it on the taxi strips at the airport I was running and it was a rocket. But it still had the 5:29 rear gears.
I'm watching this and it brings back memories of when I worked on race cars like this, along with winged sprint cars. We ran oval tracks, anywhere from 1/4 to 1/2 mile. Nicole, you need to grab your racesuit and do some laps on a paved track. I guarantee a rush that will last a lifetime. I still love the sound of a healthy small block Chevy like that. Thank you Nicole and Lance for the nostalgia. You need to explore more of the treasures Lance has
Thank you, Nicole, Lance et al. Great car and amazing workshop collection. You DO need to visit Lance again, Nicole, as you said in the video. Cheers from NZ🇳🇿.
Oh yeah! I'd drive that in a heartbeat. That's the kind of car I watched racing the local circle tracks when they were nearly new. I love your enthusiasm that you put into everything you get to drive. Your smile is infectious and always a pleasure to see. Thaks so much for keeping this old man entertained and happy.
All I can say is WOW! You really need to OPEN it up Nicole. Don't baby this thing. Yes, I want to drive it. Amazing and glad you opened it up on the 2nd half.
Wow, what a great enthusiast. He has a fortune sitting there and a lifetime + of work ahead. The sound of that car was so raw. Please go back and film again with him. Nice job Nicole and team.
Awe, great video! It brought back so many memories. My buddies dad owned a team in the 60's and 70's. His cars were named the 8-ball as he owned a store that sold billiard tables. He had a couple drivers. I saw one of them race king Richard around a dirt track in Heidelberg, PA. After the race, my buddy and me laid on the floor and he took us around the track (real slow of course, but cause of the noise we thought we were going ahundred). Luved this video!
WoW just wow! i have to save this episode on my list of top builds. Thanks for doing this video simply beautiful n rare find, "Just cause its old doesn't mean its not any good'" Lance
I was only thinking last night that we should have another NJ Detour video and this one is fantastic. Love the cars, the ethos behind them and the joy on your face when driving the Nova. MORE PLEASE 🙏
Your enthusiasm and passion really shows through on each episode. this guys got a very unique collection that anyone would love to have a small portion of.
I raced for many years on dirt and asphalt. And Always wanted to put one of my cars on the street. I'm old so my cars were Chevelles and Monte Carlos and a couple Metric Cars. This cat is doing a great service to all the old retired racers left to rust away. Thanks for bringing them back alive. Great Video!!
Video turned out awesome, great shots! I did a lot of work on this car when I worked for Lance and I'm definitely stoked to see it getting some love! It rips! Can't wait to see what y'all do with the C10-R! Cheers -Beau
Love it! I spent some time in a friend's 350 Nova, back when it was newish... I would love to drive this one, give it the beans! Great episode - Cheers Nicole!
Nicole doing what Nicole does Best......Having Fun with Petrol......... Back in 84 I was working as crew on a Lola T 610 Group C Sports Car... I often wondered what happened to it... Through the wonders of the Internet I found it was in a Garage somewhere in Australia...... There must be Thousands of old race cars in sheds all over the World.... Great to see someone breathing life back into some of them........ Great Video Nicole as always....... Have a great New Year doing more of the same..... :-))) xxxxx
What an absolute hoot of an episode, you find the most amazing people and they all compliment you on your driving skill, always great to see your enjoyment in driving . I would love to drive something like that , in my part of the world, that car would never be allowed on the road !
Awesome episode. You hustled that beast well. The box- El Cajon. Those back roads are so much fun. My old stomping grounds for a, too short, time. Brings back memories.
Awesome video Nicole. You can tell she loves running hard. It comes alive the harder you push it. Yes I wish we could drive cars like that over here I'd be there in a heart beat. Oh how did he go with the bush fires???? Hoping all is safe and good.
Dirt Tracking 101 😉 Saturday night in the 70's 🥹takes me back to my youth ....... Brother BOB an a 37 Chevy Coupe in central Texas 🤘🤪🍻... Thanks Nicole Happy Motoring ✌️😎
Nicole, my favorite highway heroine!! My face is about to break from smiling! The unadulterated joy you showed managing the Nova - the way you managed the M-22 [not everyone can] - the way you negotiated the twisties. I am absolutely blown away! Back in 1978/79 I raced a '65 Corvette convertible in B production class with the SCCA. Had pretty much the same drivetrain as the Nova. Small block Chevrolet, M-22, 3.73 rear gears and hooker sidepipes. Wish I could pin a picture... Ran courses like Hallett Motor Speedway, in OK and Mid America Raceway, in Wentzville, MO. Had a blast, but, as you discovered, it was work. Blissful work. It was like being with you thanks to your wonderful camera work. Noticed all your moves - the blip of the throttle downshifting and the powering through the turns, among others like your hair blowing in the wind and ear to ear smile. Thank you for the magnificent ride along. Thank Lance for preserving history. I'll be smiling for a week! 😁
This is THE. MOST. deathtrappy death trap to ever roll, and I fucking LOVE IT! You need to do a mini series on this guy's story and his garage and life experiences!
Lady ❤😊 I just have to say that you are great driver ! I also love the fact that you are not afraid to drive anything on wheels 🛞!! So keep up the great videos of your journey 🎉😊 ! I love it
I always love watching every episode that you make and am always happy when a new episode is posted. You're a great host, the production of your videos is excellent, and the range of cars and owners is broad, making your RUclips Channel my favorite to watch!
@@NicoleJohnsonsDetour No, thank you! Your channel reminds me of the story of Jerry Buss, who bought the LA Lakers Basketball Team. Jerry's vision was that we wasn't selling fans just to watch basketball but selling entertainment. So he formed the Laker Girls to make the game more entertaining. All the other team owners thought Jerry was crazy and felt the games should only be focused on basketball. But with Jerry's focus was that people went to the game for entertainment. With the Laker Girls, attendance and enthusiasm grew, which made the team more profitable. Today, every NBA team as their version of cheerleaders/"Laker Girls."" My point (although long-winded) is that your channel isn't just providing cold facts of cars but is more focused on entertainment around the cars, which results in super fun an entertaining episodes - the LA Lakers of RUclips Car Channels!
Wow. Nicole, how on earth are you going to top this episode?!?! This guy has his head screwed on straight. Such a well turned out car that was clearly running as sweetly as ever it had with lots of effort put into making it so whilst preserving the superb patina and character. Please, please, please camp put at this shop and give us more content like this!
Always love your shows .My high school friend was Marty Signorelli of Diamond racing. He and his brother Joe built Pro Stock Camaros the 70's for Bill Jenkins and Kenny Bernstein in Bethpage, NY. Got into Rigging and building Race boats in Florida as Diamond Marine, Port Everglades
I would drive that Nova in a heartbeat. It's been awhile since I have driven a stick, but kinda like riding a bicycle, you never forget. Who doesn't love the whine of a Muncie? The only cooler sound is gear to gear timing. 😁😁 Great episode!
![BLACK BAG - Official Trailer [HD] - Only in Theaters March 14](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Du0Xp8WX_7I/mqdefault.jpg)
Incredible episode!!! You could do AT LEAST 10 more episodes on this garage/workshop!! And i'll be here for ALL of them. Cheers

what a success, this guy is KING every day when he gets to walk into that shop! A life being lived man.
I hope this guy has some kind of help on his projects. So many I wouldn't know where to start. Another great video Nichole!
You had so much fun with that car. Need to see more of this man’s treasures.
Definitely!
I drove at cajon Speedway in El cajon California ,in the early 90's to mid 90's, now 67 years old dam near teard up. Because of this show and I could still get in c-pit and drive today. Good show peps.
Thank you...we appreciate that!! We're glad you enjoyed watching!!
I worked on Randy Wallace's Bomber Stock in the early 90's. It's a shame what happened to Cajon Speedway.
One word BADASS! Thanks for the ride. So nice to see his repurpose, with Surh a loud kickass joy! CHEERS
I can hear Black Sunshine by White Zombie in my head during those hood shots. Lance is doing the Lord’s work keeping these old race cars going. Another great episode.

I am always impressed by Nicole's knowledge of cars. Not just the basic stuff but engines and transmissions.
We appreciate that...thank you!!
Takes me back to the days of Saugus Speedway as a kid. It sounds so good. I love the transmission. This is ASMR for me.

Thank you so much...I appreciate that!! Glad you enjoyed watching!!

That noise, the patina, the passion 🙏🏻🥰
Her drive along scenes are the BEST.

Wonderful piece of history. So grateful for him preserving these works of art for us to admire.

I just have to say that you are great driver !
I also love the fact that you are not afraid to drive anything on wheels 🛞!!
So keep up the great videos of your journey 🎉😊 ! I love it
I always love watching every episode that you make and am always happy when a new episode is posted. You're a great host, the production of your videos is excellent, and the range of cars and owners is broad, making your RUclips Channel my favorite to watch!
You make us smile...thanks for watching and supporting the channel!!
@@NicoleJohnsonsDetour No, thank you! Your channel reminds me of the story of Jerry Buss, who bought the LA Lakers Basketball Team.
Jerry's vision was that we wasn't selling fans just to watch basketball but selling entertainment. So he formed the Laker Girls to make the game more entertaining. All the other team owners thought Jerry was crazy and felt the games should only be focused on basketball.
But with Jerry's focus was that people went to the game for entertainment. With the Laker Girls, attendance and enthusiasm grew, which made the team more profitable. Today, every NBA team as their version of cheerleaders/"Laker Girls.""
My point (although long-winded) is that your channel isn't just providing cold facts of cars but is more focused on entertainment around the cars, which results in super fun an entertaining episodes - the LA Lakers of RUclips Car Channels!
Loved it! Keep them coming please.
One of your best episodes yet!!! I love the old iron!!!

Wow. Nicole, how on earth are you going to top this episode?!?!
This guy has his head screwed on straight. Such a well turned out car that was clearly running as sweetly as ever it had with lots of effort put into making it so whilst preserving the superb patina and character.
Please, please, please camp put at this shop and give us more content like this!
Thank you for your comment..we're so glad you enjoyed watching this video!!
Always love your shows .My high school friend was Marty Signorelli of Diamond racing. He and his brother Joe built Pro Stock Camaros the 70's for Bill Jenkins and Kenny Bernstein in Bethpage, NY. Got into Rigging and building Race boats in Florida as Diamond Marine, Port Everglades
Thank you for sharing with us!!

Another great episode, Nicole. Your enthusiasm and excitement are very apparent which makes it so much more fun. You gotta go back to Lance's garage.
We totally agree!! Thank you for watching!!
I would drive that Nova in a heartbeat. It's been awhile since I have driven a stick, but kinda like riding a bicycle, you never forget.
Who doesn't love the whine of a Muncie?
The only cooler sound is gear to gear timing. 😁😁
Great episode!
