BANDIDO 356: "Not An Outlaw" 911-Powered 1959 Porsche 356A Widebody Coupe | EP32
Vložit
- čas přidán 9. 03. 2024
- It's not an Outlaw; it's a Bandido. An authentic classic 1959 Porsche 356A Coupe powered by a robust 250 horsepower modified early air-cooled 2.8L Porsche 911 engine, the wide body Bandido embraces Chris Barba's Mexican heritage and proves one thing to naysayers: it's not about money; it's about ingenuity. Nicole meets the young builder to experience the short wheelbase, light weight, flat six-cylinder little red hotrod on the twisty canyon roads of east San Diego County.
MORE ABOUT CHRIS BARBA:
Born and raised in Mexico, Chris built his first 911 with the help of his dad when Chris was still a teenager. Today, Chris owns and operates DNA Motorsports out of San Diego, California, specializing in custom and restored Porsche builds.

Thank you so much for taking my hot rod for a ride Nicole! Had a blast filming with you and the crew!
We appreciate you and had a great time!!! Can’t wait to see what you build next!!
Love your car man! I built my 240Z in a similar style. The purist can have theirs I choose to do it my way too!
What a nice car! I really love your get in there and make it work with what you have kind of mindset, as opposed to throwing money at problems. And the car seemed to have turned out just right. Really cool what you've achieved with that
Chris, your 356 is the best example of a 356 on the planet. Absolutely love the sound of the flat six!!
@@RealCelticGamer for REAL, seriously one of the coolest iterations of that car i ever seen.
I hate to say it, considering how modern cars are, but anyone who has not driven a truly lightweight performance car is living in automotive pleasure driving ignorance.
I always consider it a treat when one of these well crafted and entertaining videos shows up.
We appreciate that....thank you for watching!!
Damn !!! I can almost feel it through you Nicole !!! Truly a pleasure and awesome build !!!! Well done Nicole . And the cars definitely exudes power !!! And the whole essence of a Porsche!!!!
I completely agree. I grew up on Hondas and have built many. But my all time favorite was my 91 civic hatch with a full jdm si-r conversion and a semi built all motor k24/20 frankenstein combo. Over double the factory hp, crazy light with my nannies or assists and the awesome, nostalgic late 80s/ early 90s look. One of the best feeling transmissions I’ve ever felt too.
Agreed. My experience is extremely limited being 6’3” 230 (Miata is a no go) but I did manage to squeeze into my friends Lotus Exige S and it was the best thing ever, even though my knees were touching the wheel. It made my ‘13 TT-RS feel like driving a Hellcat and it’s a small car lol.
When I was younger I had a very clean, low mileage and completel stock 1989 Mazda MX-5. To this day it's still one of my top 2 most memorable cars I've owned. It wasn't quick by any stretch, but it was so much fun.
One of my favorite things about this channel is how you really try to give the viewer the true sound of each car. One of the coolest porsches ever. Great job Chris!
Thank you for the comment..we appreciate it!! Glad you enjoyed watching!!
That young man has built what has to be one of the nicest 356 Coupes in the USA. His skills and design ideas have played very well with the classic 356 body work. I hope to see more of his work in the future. I wonder what he would do with an early 911 or 912. Thanks for the ride.
A 914 with the Performance and Handling he engineered might "Surprise" people 😂 !!
Yes...we agree!! We're so glad you like it!!
What he would do with a 911? I'm thinking he would part it out! 😊
This kid is a genius. This show rocks!! Can't thank you enough for doing this. What a car. Damn!!!
Thank you for watching...we're glad you enjoyed!!
This car is a reason I normally don't like Porsches. They are uptight and over purist. This car has been tailored to be truly driven w/ joy using whatever means were available. I love it!
We appreciate you watching...glad you enjoyed it!!
I second that
I 1000% agree with this statement. Porsche owners have become unbearable in their blind devotion to the P marquee and the disrespect and even disdain they show towards other performance cars and even their owners has soured the brand for me. Porsches are wonderful cars but their owners... vary sad. Chris however has managed to create his own car. It's no longer a Porsche. It's Chris's Porsche. I love it.
Not true our neighbors drive their 911 and stacks on the miles and loves to wear it... not like others I know that have crazy cars with low miles. his coupe has over 200K on it and he's a generous guy when I ask to take it for a spin he ask if I will let him drive our 1959 Volkswagen ... he loves the rag top@@abikepeddler
Obviously not all Porsche owners behave in an elitist manner. Nearly every one of my friends now seems to own a 911... They are all decent people. But there is also that group that shows up to weekend Cars & Coffee, congregate together in a little clicky circle and refuse to engage with other car show participants. There's also the "club members".... The Porsche club of America. I attended one of their drive events in San Diego. The organizer had a driver's meeting before the drive where he went over safety and behavioral expectations of those participating. He said "reckless driving will mean expulsion from the event". He then proceeds during the drive to pass other participants on blank corners! The hypocrisy was enough for me to simply leave the event and never return. These are just random examples...
Amazing video, I can totally relate as I bought a 914 after high school and have been transforming it into a hotrod myself(I'm now 44). My 914 had a type 4, then a 2.2 911, then a 350 V8, then a VW g60 and now has a VW 1.8t big turbo with a Boxster transmission. These cars are what you make them, no one wanted a rusty 914 when I began and now I have haters saying I've ruined a classic, but really I saved it from the scrapyard.
Thank you for watching!! We appreciate your comment!!
Do you have any content up? I had to sell my ‘76 2.0 4cyl after driving across the country and commuting for two years in it. They have a lot going for them. Always wanted to do a modest engine swap. One buddy called it a clown car, another called the body design “dumpster on wheels” 😂. They look rad though especially the clean interior.
I have never been a Porsche fan, they seldom sounded "right" to me for some reason. THIS is cool. The sound is great. The engineering and hotrod creativity is fantastic. Kudos to Chris for doing what works for him. The creativity brings me joy.
That's nice..we appreciate your comment! Thanks for watching!!
Love your Laugh Nicole, as cool as the Exhaust on the Bandido! 😀🥰
Thank you! 😁
This 356 looks like the homologue of a 70s cal-looker/drag-inspired VW bug, I love it!!! The stance and character with the widened rear fenders, amazing
We're so glad you like it!!!
I love this "all expense spared" project that ends up as a fun driver looking like it cost way more. Another great car and builder brought to us by Nicole & the Detour team. Thanks & Happy Birthday Nicole!
Thank you!! We appreciate your comment...glad you enjoyed watching!!
Way better than any concourse trailerqueen.
We're glad you like it!!!
Nicole another great interview, thank you! This young man is introducing others to Porsche in a different and unique way which is awesome! I do the same with Shelbys. I build them to drive and not sit. This gets them out to an audience that don't normally see them in public. Inspire the next generation of hot rodders!
Awesome...thank you for sharing!! We're glad you enjoyed watching!!
NICOLE 3RD SHOW I HAVE SEEN AND THEY ARE ALL GREAT, THIS PORSCHE IS AMAZING
Really enjoy your enthusiasm Nicole; your videos are always enjoyable to watch! Greetings from England!
Thank you so much!! Greetings to you!!!
Great effort by the young guy. Man that thing sounds nice.
Yes...we agree!! Thanks for watching!!
👏 looks like a great time / drive & happy birthday Nicole 🥰
Thank you!! We appreciate you watching!!
NOW THAT’S WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT! Well done Chris…love it! Man that car sounds so good!
Thank you for watching...glad you like it!!
First of al Nicole....Happy Birthday. Secondly the looks on your face when you first started the car was priceless.....Excellent video.
Thank you..I appreciate that!! Glad you enjoyed watching!
The thing I like about this one is the raw creativity, but also that with all the radical custom, is also all based on Porsche components. It looks a bit like- if a custom builder in 1959 had access to all these parts, this is what you would come up with. Nice job!
Thank you for the comment!! Glad you like it!!
That's what I was going for! A sort of "what if" Porsche put a 6 cylinder in the 355
The sound, the technique, the performance of all the craftsmanship that went into this Bandido Porsche 356 - just amazing. As I wrote in a comment to another of your outstanding videos: I envy you guys over there in the US since such a machine would never ever be allowed on the road in my country - which is, by the way, not the only point of envy I have these days. Can't wait for the next detour footage! Bolko from Germany
Thank you for watching...we're so glad you enjoyed it!!
@ 1 4 : 4 4 , NICOLE'S FACE is PURE JOY ,
listening to that 2 . 8 Rev . 👍
Thank you so much for watching...glad you like it!!
I could listen to that car sound for hours. Great job filming and letting us feel like we where there.
Awesome, thank you! We appreciate it!!
Super cool! Love that someone young has a passion for any old cars, The seatbelts, old school.
Yes...we agree!! Thank you for watching!!
Nicole is so cool! Nice build , I love Chris's frugal nature to just make it work!!
Thanks so much! We're glad you enjoyed it!!
For such a hodge podge mix of parts, it came together really clean. That exhaust sounds great. I've never liked Porsche exhaust sounds, but this one is loud and deep.
Couldn't agree more! Thank you for watching!!
What an absolutely cool Porsche! The owner reminds me of a friend when I was a teen named Devereux, chill dude and the mayors stepson. This car makes me think of my Miata, not massively powerful, but a whole package. Everything done with a purpose and tastefully. Love the hard work and story!!
Thank you for the comment!! We really appreciate you watching!!!
Absolutely excellent👏👏👏 Thank you, Nicole!
We're so glad you enjoyed watching!!!
Nicole's interview is by far the best ive seen, So much passion!
Thank you...I appreciate that!!! Glad you enjoyed watching!!
Hey absolutely love your expression when you rev an engine 😊
Haha...I always enjoy that!! Thank you for watching!!

We appreciate you watching...gad you enjoyed it!!
Great video! Chris did an awesome job. Lots of imagination and creativity. Super Duper!
Thank you for watching....glad you enjoyed it!!
Amazing interview, thank you for such great work. A compatriot interviewed, a bonus to keep watching this channel.
Thank you so much...we appreciate that!!
I’m loving everything in this video, the most the way you understand step by step how the car works and drives. I love that process of progressive discovery that usually is removed or shown as a problem in other channels. It’s organic! Greetings from Spain 🇪🇸 , I’m a fan!!
Thank you so much...we appreciate that!! Greetings from U.S.A.
Happy Belated Birthday, Nicole.
Thank you!!!
@@NicoleJohnsonsDetour Lemme know when you're in the Bay Area and you can shoot my car.
Chris,your build is Iconic!!! The statement it makes shows A brash young engineerin genius who marches to his own tune,the sound of your creation is magnificent! Your average age of friends is of no surprise to me ,the build is telling of the inputs these friends shows a maturity well beyond your 27 years! as we age we realize that building with your unique vision gains the personal satisfaction we all desire,and the car is a work of art that has everything needed to secure top finishes in all types of competitive events,Race or Show you have a winner! Nicole knows a winner when she sees one!!! Thank you both for a look at a wonderful creation of automotive genius
What a nice comment!!! Thank you...we appreciate it!!!

2. nicole; you are so fun. if you have kids, they must think you are the coolest mom on the planet. keep up the GREAT work, i love how your videos are stories about the cars _and_ the owners. which is how it should be.
Thank you so much!! We sincerely appreciate your comment!!

Thank you, Nicole, for sharing this build. Chris has such obvious talent and a serious penchant for Porsche. I love it... I can't help but wonder how his Mustang would've turned out had he gone that direction...
I have a 66 mustang shell I'll eventually get to!
You're welcome...we appreciate you watching.
Gorgeous Porsche - sounds just amazing. Another enjoyable video, thanks Nicole.
Glad you enjoyed it! We appreciate you watching!!
Chris, that's truly overtime craftsmanship and ingenuity!! DEDICATION to that thing in the corner..

Superbe Porsche !!!bruit jouissif du moteur a plat!!merci Nicole!!!
We appreciate you watching...thank you!!
Hey Nicole,
I hope this message finds you well. I just wanted to drop a quick note to say how much I enjoyed your recent video. It was fantastic, and I particularly loved the humorous touch at the end. Your driving skills are seriously impressive, and the sound quality is top-notch. Watching you behind the wheel was exhilarating - you've got some serious talent!
I must say, I'd love to ride shotgun with you sometime. I'm a bit of a car enthusiast myself, and I recently purchased a Velar HSE 250 from 2019. It's an absolute beauty to drive.
But back to your driving style and expertise - you're a total badass, and I mean that in the best possible way. You're not your typical Barbie doll - you're the real deal, and it's incredibly refreshing to see. Your videos always have that extra edge, and I can't thank you enough for the entertainment. Keep doing what you're doing!
And on another note, I have to give a shoutout to the creator of the Hot Rot - wow, what an amazing piece of work. It's clear that a lot of talent and hard work went into it, and I have nothing but respect for what he achieved.
Thanks again for the awesome content, Nicole. Looking forward to your next video! Ubbe
Thank you so much for the nice comments. We sincerely appreciate it!! It means a lot to all of us here at Detour to know that our videos are enjoyed!!
How rewarding would it be to drive that car on the track? Truly a driver's car - precise, but with all the old school challenges like the fifteen foot throw shifter. You ticked all the boxes again Nicole. Great job. Thanks for sharing!
You're welcome!!! We're so glad you like it...and yes it would be fun to drive the bandido on a track!!!
One off the most awesome cars i know♥️ thanks for the video ✌️
You're welcome...we appreciate you watching!
what a sound ! Lovely vid as usual thanks a lot !
Thank you so much for watching!! We're glad you enjoyed it!!
Thank you, another great video ❤
Our pleasure!! Thank you for watching!
That car that Chris has dreamed up is a ‘paradigm shifter’ in the hot Rod and custom world. It’s well ace! Also, great to hear you both talking together with so much Porsche/car knowledge, which is also well ace!
Thank you for watching...glad you enjoyed it!
A network should pick this up. I'd watch
Thank you!!! We appreciate that!!
Man I love this car! That's the dream right there for me. 70's 911 hardware in a 356 replica. What a sweet car.
And can you believe the Bandido is an original body? We love it too!
@@NicoleJohnsonsDetour a friend has 1971 or 72 911 running gear in a crate - he pulled it from a car that was scrapped due to rust. This video is a mini template for a great project if I was able to get my hands on a 356 chassis and body - but I wouldn’t dare do it with anything but a kit :)
Purist or not anyone appreciates talent and a beautiful ride. I'd cut up any car if I knew how and transform it into something amazing . He's done a beautiful job . Love this car
Yes...we agree!! We appreciate you watching...glad you like it!
THAT SOUND! WOW! SHOCKINGLY GOOD!
Yes...we agree!!!
Count me in as one of the "Love it!" crowd. Bravo to the Bandido and @chrisbarba!
Thank you for watching...glad you "love it"!!
That was awesome thanks for the ride👍
What a sweet machine. Great vid, Nicole.
Thank you for watching....glad you enjoyed it!!
I love how much he made it his own
We're so glad you appreciate his work. Thanks for watching!
This is one of my dream cars I could have watched hours of this ❤ Happy birthday Nicole 🎉
Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed watching!
I Love It! Red is always looks good on a hot rod and there is nothing like the sound of an Air Cooled Engine.
Couldn't agree more! We're so glad you like it!!
