  • 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.

    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.

      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.

    • @axe2grind244
      @axe2grind244 Před 2 měsíci

      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.

    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.

      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.

    • @underrscored5617

      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

    • @abikepeddler
      @abikepeddler Před 2 měsíci +1

      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...

  • @normanpower973
    @normanpower973 Před 2 měsíci +12

    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.

      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.

    @TheAmericanGarage1 Před 2 měsíci +3

    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!

    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

    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

    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!

    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!

    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 :)

    I Love It! Red is always looks good on a hot rod and there is nothing like the sound of an Air Cooled Engine.
