In this video, I but a Concept car for $1,500! The 1 of 1 concept car cost at least 2 million dollars to build and was abandoned 12 years ago! This is pretty insane so sit back, relax and enjoy the madness. What's a concept car you've always wanted?
Big thanks to Arne from Cannonball Garage for calling me first when he wanted to sell the van. Check out his UA-cam channel!

Here's the latest Concept van video! ua-cam.com/video/iKvCKV7R_xo/v-deo.html
Same as when you take it off you need to pull it... Very simple but if you don't slide it into position after you flip it you will brake it. And if you don't slide it before you pull it, u will brake it
Alex manages to find the space age Chrysler Mini Van from the future past that is a bizarre collage of electrical and mechanical wizardry. LSC is never without some adventure.
Ghrysler and electrical...I see no problems here at all😂😂😂
It’s a GM van not Chrysler
@@adriang227 it was built on a chrysler platform, amy mentioned that in the zoom call
As an engineer there's nothing better than knowing something you were passionate about was saved by someone who also has passion.
Wouldn't knowing that something you designed and loved was still used regularly top that?
Having someone save it seems like a consolation prize.
@@whyjnot420 not everything lives or survives forever.
@@ShawnChristopher10101 With respect, that doesn't address or answer my question.
edit: the reason it _cannot_ answer the question is because your statement is a truism. Truisms by their nature offer nothing new to a conversation.
You paid for it if you are a contributing member of society. Obama has never made a good decision, so failing on his climate change push on electric cars with our money is no different. His only goal is power and owning g more homes down on the ocean edge that he says will rise and flood the earth. Later sheep
@Seth Nope. Gonna talk all I want and there is absolutely nothing a punk ass 5 year old like you can do about it.
Every once in a while you come across an hour long video and one minute into the video you know you are gonna watch that whole thing in one go - this is one of those videos. And the longer you watch the more interesting it gets. Thank you for putting all of this together for us to discover with you.
Also, Amy looks like she is in her 30s now, she must have been super super young when she got that job there, absolutely amazing.
she went to college in 2002, which makes her 39. she worked there in 2008, so that means she was 24 when she started at bright.
Pretty cool of Amy to give all that info about the project. Looks like she has stayed in the EV industry too, which is awesome to see that the passion for it is still there.
What a fascinating story. You are more than just the current owner, you are the caretaker for a piece of automotive history.
That fiberglass all over the engine bay almost looks like they put it there before putting it in storage to prevent rodent infestation. It might heave been treated with something that mice hate or repels them. It just didn't look like typical mice/rat activity. it would have been infested with feces and other found debris. I cannot wait to see how this turns out! Keep up the great work.
This makes the most sense
It was probably to deaden the sound of the engine so it seemed more electric..
@@FJB2020 That would be a bad idea. It was all loose and packed around the belts and near the fans. you would literally see a cloud of fiberglass going down the road. The way cars do this is with thick matts on the firewall and under the hood.
Yeah, that did not look like a mouse nest at all.
I agree. Looks like it was put there for a reason.
The part about the CEO crying kinda got me in my feels. I can imagine the effort and passion they put into this. Had it come out today it could've been a gamechanger. Thank you for buying this very neat van!
edit; props to you for taking the time to look and find that broken mount!! I am almost positive NOBODY that bought it before you found that! I absolutely love when people find the definitive issues in projects like these, nice!
For someone like me that’s worked at dealers mainly on euro cars but also Asian and American too for about 12 years straight, watching you being thorough and listening to your awesome knowledge and showing what to look out for and what not to break (lol euro plastics mainly) is refreshing and amazing. I love watching your videos. I’ve been hooked since I started watching you guys about 9 months ago and will continue to probably as long as you guys keep making them. You’ve inspired me to start looking into getting my own shop and starting my own business so thank you for your great knowledge and inspiring attitude all the time. Even when things go wrong which can sometimes happen more often than usual at any point in time. So I’ll shut up now. But thank you and keep on being great!
Alex, you made that entire team ,behind this project, very happy and excited! I would not be surprised if in the near future one of those engineers pay you a visit!
The zoom interview with Amy was also very exciting and enjoyable to watch.
You have to see this project through and with all of that support it will all come together.
Owning the prototype is one thing, but what is really special in this case is that you have the original team / employees available to you ; or some of them anyway.
The whole van seems very much like an early Prius in its operation, but with a Chrysler engine and Bosch motor. Very interesting to see and sad to hear what it could have been.
Looks like it has much, much better battery tech, and also it's plug in of course.
Yeah American junk that was 10 years behind Toyota when it was made.
Zollo! 👋👋👋
@@earlscheib7754 still better than a toyota
@@YasinVanDoorsen Go tell that to the GR Yaris, GR Corolla, GR Supra (with a manual of course) and the GR86 .
It's awsome to see and hear the passion from the team behind it, even 15 years after the company ended. I hope you get it running, and they get to see it running again.
These latest builds are bring those early channel vibes. As a long time subscriber, been enjoying a lot.
Thanks Roger!
Hi Alex from Australia. I’m a retired electronics broadcast technician and amateur mechanic. This is super exciting for me. I feel like I want to reach through my computer screen and explore this car with you, to think like the original designers thought. I can feel the passion of the design team, and yours. Please keep going, and if possible I would love to hear more interviews with the originals. This would make a great documentary series.
Airplane ticket :)
Work in broadcast too. I would love to crawl over that thing and figure it out.
I bought an abandoned DeLorean! ua-cam.com/video/gCcrVF8sR8k/v-deo.htmlsi=5BhTQ8uSftGo7pYn
This one hit very close to home, Alex - I live about 16 miles from this plant and am friends with a gentleman named Paul Bishop who worked for Bright. It gave me chills Bro ❤
I know Paul well and many of the old DRA/Remy guys. I'm about 2 miles from the old plant also. BW bought Remy, and I work with a few of the guys at the new prototype plant.
Dude this is so cool. Learning the history of this one off prototype was very fascinating. I can't wait to see more about it, and how cool would it be to meet the original engineers and CEO that built the thing. Again... So cool!!!!
I like to see more about this vehicle I've been in mechanic for 45 years I have seen some of these early. Twenty-five years ago I seen one in Pick-A-Part. It was a 73 pinto wagon. My friend took the engine electrical motor . Was in front with the motor was it was no engine inside the batteries installed inside the
Great video! looking forward to more of this restoration. Amazing history behind the van. Awesome.
What a fantastic save! I see there's a series of videos you've put out about this concept van, and I'll be watching them all.
This has opportunity written all over it! You are making connections to amazing people! Looking forward to future episodes of this rescue….
You can tell how much this "space van" means to the people who worked so hard to develop it and bring it to fruition. It deserves to be seen by the public and its story told for future generations. Congrats Alex on having purchased such a cool vehicle.
If they care so much about it how did they let it end up on fb marketplace for 1500? seems pretty careless but maybe someone made a mistake or was greedy
@@nostalgic_pokemon_memories The van was donated to a non-profit and was meant to be used by engineering students in the state of Indiana but unfortunately it seems like that non-profit did nothing with the vehicle and eventually sold it for $1500.
@@nostalgic_pokemon_memories dude did u even listened to what she said about it? That was the thing that hurted her the most, once she got to know of.
Here's Part 2! ua-cam.com/video/OEJNuf2nAf4/v-deo.html
Can this old project still get back on an put on productionn on the road.
My Saturn Vue seats went forward and became tables.
I'm excited for part 2! I got to thinking though, where's Peter been?
Don't touch filters with contaminated cloves, that's idiotic thing.
Why even use those things if not use correctly.
Shock back was maybe some type of contactor for high voltage?
Inverter is DC to 3 phase AC
What a great story. And Amy was so enthusiastic. She was amazing. I hope you find out and share with us what's the story with all of that insulation in the engine compartment.
Amy’s enthusiasm is contagious. You can tell that she still is excited about this van, even 11 years after the company went under. Excited to see where this project goes!
Her oral history is just as interesting as the van itself.
@@kleverichshe seems like a lot of fun too.
I’m a subscriber to LSC and many others like it- this is the best video I’ve seen on UA-cam in a very long time. Interview at the end ties the whole thing together. Just incredible
Love your videos and content. Love that you mention a lot of the same stuff I learned from my mentors when working on Benz,other euros, Asian and American cars at dealers. Keep it up. Also this concept was super cool to see!
For adding an A/C system there are add-on systems for classic cars for example that have 12v compressors. The evaporator, vents, controls, etc are in an underdash mount console so something like that would be perfect for this van.
They could've just coverted an actual dodge caliber. 65 ppl, $3M, of course it doesn't have AC. Cars a money grab, it's an atrocity. Love the passion but I'd get it out of my shop before it burned all those beautiful cars to the ground. 😢
Man it’s cool to see their passion about the project years later. It seems like the company kept in touch with one another which is also pretty cool to hear.
Rich Rebuilds is awesome. And he's hilarious. The man makes me fat boy chuckle every time I watch his videos.
He's been making the rounds and collaborating/lending a hand with everyone lately.
56:00 this woman is soooo likable!!!! I could watch her shoulder shake all day. Her excitement get everyone excited!!!!! I love her!!!!
Come on Alex.... This project must have a crossover with aging wheels! Keep the great work!
Yes! ☝🏻This!
What an amazing story. If the all the staff at Bright were as enthusiastic as Amy then this business deserved the chance to at least go to the next stage.
How great would it be if you could arrange the old Bright team to gather in one location and you take the running driving van to them!!!!!
my family was heavily involved in the launch of Bright, and i can assure you that the whole team was as enthusiastic as anyone about the project. it came down to the Obama admin shutting down the funding for the operation. Bright had dozens of big time customers lined up and ready to use these for their fleets. super sad story
@@ItsH2Os Not enough bribes and kickbacks, sadly.
There was a new car company in Halifax nova Scotia thst started building cars made out of stainless steel!
Well that didn't sit to well with the other autoplants because they want there cars to rust out in 10 years to sell more,and a stainless automobile will never rust out, so they screwed him over!
Can you guess what car Marty mcfly used ?
The saturn ev1 was stolen out from under the customer's and all destroyed. Makes you wonder why this was dumped by Obama. They really don't want affordable hybrids like they say is my opinion.
Definitely a new sub. Can't wait to see more.
Absolutely in Love with this channel, I get home from 12-13 hour wrenching days and can't stop watching
A tip: make sure the tube is secured on the spray can. Had one come off on a flat four once and shoot right into the cylinder. Very lucky to get it out with no disassembly.
You can almost feel the energy of the souls that were poured into this vehicle to create what you now have. At the very least it should be in a museum for all to share the experience of creative thought and engineering skill.
if he swaps the engine for a 4 cylinder diesel it will get 100mpg easy
@@Chris-hw4mq Greta Thunberg weeps
This reminds me of the GM electric car from the 90's but only a mid 2008 design and tech. This would probably be better than a tesla.
@@Molitoth yeah sure that ev is probably so unreliable whilst the diesel is peak technology
It is history!
This is actually one of the most interesting projects on the channel. The story, the money spent, and the passion behind it make it special.
Can't wait to see you being it back to life and see how close you can get to the 100mpg.
Speaking of always wanted to own a concept car. When I was younger at a Houston Auto Show (GW Bush era), I saw a Mitsubishi futuristic concept full sized SUV, with front & rear doors that opened up like a Rolls Royce Phantom. Thats is the only concept car stuck in my memory and never saw anything from Mitsubishi that derived from that one concept. Now that would be a find
.. someone already mentioned this, but that really has some common ground with the Toyota Prius Hybrid I own .. subbing to follow this van .. what a crazy and AMAZING find/re-discovery ..
Wow, that van represents the work for 65 families. I can see why the CEO would love to get it back. You never can get the clay moldings with the concept car. Great video!
This is very cool Alex. I would love to see you get this fully functional again and deliver it back to the CEO.
What for. They don't have any interest expressed or exercised in a decade.
@@jackrichards1863 Well, the CEO said he'd like to buy it back, so...
CEO wants it destroyed.. this could put him in jail
why would it put him in jail?
Would be cool to see the company come back and make a quality product for a good price.
Absolutely outstanding video. Learn more here than at school. I love the energy, you have the friends helping you and I can not wait to see more. Well done
The passion Amy talks about the project is just amazing!
This is one of the most fascinating car project i had ever seen on UA-cam. This is just i got no words to describe how interesting this one is.
I remember how i read about this thing back in the late 00's on a car megazine than my father brought back in the day. I'm just shock this thing even exist
I really would love to see Uncle Rich and the Electrified Garage and Shawn help clean up the old van, modernize it a bit, and make it more like the planned Beta.
Exactly that would be a great collaboration. With great content!
i think so too
Awesome buy and good luck getting it driving and charging !!
this is a real neat project... i'm looking forward to see what happens next.
that electric motor sounded like dynamite when you tried initializing it! i'm glad nothing exploded. lol
Max is too nice letting you out of the back immediately. I would have pretended to be away and left you in there for half an hour while laughing as quietly as possible. Pretty sure any of my friends would do the same to me.
Lol
I was thinking it was a great way to blackmail him for a raise! HOW MUCH DO YOU WANT TO BE LET OUT???
Terrifying if he didn't have his phone on him he could have died in the back of a Concept Van. Insanely scary!
Dude, this is the best project so far in my opinion. Really. This one of a kind and prototype cars are always my favorites, no matter how ugly or how unpractical they are. Please bring this thing original, and as it was intended, on the road. ❤
Amazing find. We want part 2 of course. Thanks for sharing your good fortune. Pretty sure you will figure it out because you are very excited about this new project and with a little dedication it will soon come to fruition. God bless.
This would make an awesome service rig, I would clean it up, re route some wiring. Try to get it plated and insured if possible and use it for part hauling and everything else
Alex, after putting all of the work/modified motor bracket, etc. (document your work, btw). IF you sell back to the CEO, have a contract drawn up that if the company restarts (now there's a greater need for 100 mpg delivery vans especially with $4/gallon gas, if they still have the technical drawings to recreate the molds for the unibody, they're 80% from restarting. Now the van can be updated to use modern charging tech and note... GM parts bins. That means that you can theoretically add the missing components such as wipers, rear door handles, windows and a/c. That would make the concept vehicle usable and close to ready to be reintroduced. It's more important now, and get in for an equity share in any new company ($1500 plus some sweat equity/components and you may get significant benefits if the van goes into production).
Crash and safety standards have changed significantly since this was built. It will require almost total redesign to be made compliant with current new car standards. This will never be put in production.
It’s so cool that you were able to get the project manager on a zoom call with you. Listening her talk about it, you can see the passion was there. Very good stuff Alex!!!!
Wow Alex, please get this thing working, and try to get the engineers involved. You have a true piece of modern motoring history, it would be awesome to see it back on the road.
I first thought legitstreetcars was all just about tuning and fast cars...
Once i see all these cool and bizzare motors and projects, i just HAD to subscribe... This spacevan is definitely my new favourite youtube car project for sure!
Bro, full credit for that sponsor ad transition.
Bravo
You hit a pot of gold... with your mechanical know how and rich rebuilds, i think you guys are up to something...
As someone who's been involved in quite a few startup companies, it was pretty moving to see and hear the reactions of the people involved in making this van talking about their product re-emerging after all these years. I'd love to know that there were still working versions of some of the things I was involved with.
Thank you for approaching this the way you have, with care for the vehicle and respect for the people behind it.
Wow, such a cool find and project! Can't wait to see it back in full operation! 😎
Had similar engine on 2010 jeep patriot, engine was reliable besides having cam position sensor trouble after 180000km or so.
So excited for this project ❤❤
Wow… the entertainment you provide is second to none. The other day I was wondering when you were going to finally run out of ideas… and then you drop this.
What is even better is I have been watching long enough to know you will reunite this with the CEO once you get this thing up and running again. How amazing, I can’t wait to see and learn more.
This is going to be such a cool project. Glad that Amy and the engineers from Bright are willing to assist.
I remember seeing a press release for this vehicle and thinking, what a name. The Bright Idea 💡. Cool to see it again..
Other than the charging plug and the motor mount, I’d add some kind of inside door handle/strap to prevent anyone from getting trapped inside, and because it’s an electric prototype I’d definitely put a fire extinguisher in there. Everything else needs to remain as the prototype. Have fun!
I unironically think this van is so cool. I really hope Alex can get it driving again.
AP, what a grind to a million subs, seems like when you co-op with Rich, Sam, Hoovie, there's a spike in subs. You'll get there, Love the journey and the destination. You rock AP, love it all and can't wait!!!
Thanks Charlie!
This is beautiful. I have watched it to the very end.... OLD IS GOLD. After all this time its stii functional ... gaat dem
I'm polish and I gotta say, it was awesome to see you try and speak my language :D Powodzenia, dasz radę :D
Hi Alex. Honestly, at first I was thinking as much as I love this channel, 1 hour watching a hybrid van? Well, just a few minutes in and I was totally hooked and after an hour, here I am wanting more!😊 You're not only a true car guy, you're a great story teller. The turbo Trans Am brought me here many, many years ago and I've been a fan ever since. Fantastic video with all the twists n turns and unsolved mysteries. The interview with Amy at the end was icing on the cake.👌 So many years ago, she and the team worked on that Bright Idea and you can still see and hear the passion that they all shared. To be able to communicate with those people now is truly invaluable. The Space Van is truly 1 of 1 and they can all rest assured knowing it is in competent hands. All the best with this project, Alex! Enjoy your weekend and I'll see you on the next episode.
Oh man just when I thought your channel couldn't get better. Brilliant!
You don’t need to repin the connector. It is a Chademo. Get a J1772 to Chademo
Not even close to a chademo
@@poowaffle hmm. Which one is it? It is so ancient.
What a really interesting project and it so nice to hear from the people that were involved in the building of the van. It must so hard to invest so much time, money and effort to then have it shut down like it was. I look forward to seeing you get it all working and taking it around for the original team to see.
I agree. This could be the basis of a great documentary. One fork on the road to electric commercial vehicles.
Man, The EV1 connection is awesome! I leased EV2's back in the 90's and was in awe of them. I would love a project like this to fall in my lap some day...
I used to love that combo....Bro in my neighborhood got that color back in the 90s and it was super hard....still is with the new pearls 💯💪🏿
Just what i was waiting for this saturday morning.
Form super charged wagons to space vans! LSC is THE BEST! Can't wait to see you bring this van back to life. Thanks for creating the content I look forward to.
I wish more concept cars got into the hands of actual people. I know there are a million reasons why they don't, but this is so cool.
OMG that PONTIAC @34:47 OMG OMGGGG the most beautiful car i have seen in years.... one ride in it would honestly made my day. You don't see them here in Poland.... Too bad. Such an awesome beauty. TA....... love
Wow! You guys have found the coolest thing on the internet!!! I can’t wait to see it running. Thank you for the video guys! Max, you now know you have to call the shop to make sure Alex doesn’t lock himself in the space van, lol!!! And that is why you guys are awesome!!!
I don’t think I ever seen Alex so giddy about a project, and I’ve watched all the GN videos. 😂😂
Seriously though this is going to be a fun series to watch.
One of your best videos!!! Can not wait till the next!
I love the intro. It's like Alex goes on a investigative journey versus fixing a vehicle. Editing is spot on.
That intro felt like I was about to dive into the greatest concept car murder mystery of all time lol
Yeah the mystery music! 😂😂
Lol was great wasn't it.
Loved the dramatisation with the spooky music....

I recognized electric drive unit I recently took apart a 2014 Smart car Ev. Looks like they pulled the whole system out and just tucked it under this van
It does have an AC you have to use the switch on the box that says AC clutch. 42:43 Your welcome
Its amazing you got to get that on the road 👍
I find that hard to believe, nobody bought that van for $1500 before you, i would have bought it.
Cant wait to see more of this van with all of its history!!
Guessing it was intended as a USPS replacement van. Putting it in Drive to start would simplify the operators resumption of delivery on their route. Jump in after putting your bills in your mailbox and set off the next stop. The current trucks are stop/start/stop/start hundreds of times each day.
It's crazy to think this company could have been doing the van stuff alongside the car stuff Tesla was doing. How different our world might be now if they had gotten the funding and not the other company that failed anyway. I could definitely see them transitioning to Fully Electric once the battery tech improved.
I look forward to seeing the team behind this build in a future video where you drive the van out to meet them. A Road Trip sounds like fun. Definitely fix the AC first though. You're going to need that.
Bro.....wtf, under that hood.....if you pull this off you're THE GOAT.
I’m definitely going to be waiting for this. I hope you make this a separate series on your channel so we can keep track! Do you also have a TikTok? Thanks for sharing!
Wow! What a story! Amazing catch!
Once again completely satisfied with your content one hour went by so fast. I was completely engaged the whole time thank you for all your hard work at LSC!
Many concept cars get crushed. I remember the 1st Scion car at the NY Car Show. We were told to only touch the car when moving it in very specific spots. They were terrified of it getting damaged. Every single time we had to move it, it took like 8 people. 5-6 people to push and another couple of people to watch for problems. When we finally got it on the stand, It was like, I hope we never have to do that again. (it was a show car only and didn't move on its own)
Would love to see more on this vehicle, and what you may do to improve it with today's equipment.
Awesome story, thanks for sharing !
49:01 Imagine being among 65 employees that 62 of them are as excited as Amy is right here. This is why working for start up companies is the best work experience you can have. Everyone is fully energized to do their job and everyone appreciates their fellow colleagues for the input and ideas they come up with. I was lucky enough to tap in to this energy flow in numerous companies during my career in medical diagnostic and therapy solutions. I cannot recommend this path enough. I would trade a secure job for an interesting prospect in a heartbeat. The energy level is addictive and the payoff can be fantastic even if only in experience. I'm retired now (early) but I do miss that desire to collaborate at such an intense level.
@Scott Barlett Yes,when all the hard work reveals a working model, it's a feeling like no other. I can only imagine how Apple's engineers felt seeing Steve Jobs demonstrate the touchscreen to the world or how thousands of James Webb telescope engineers and scientists felt when they saw the first images from its camera's.
@@Godscountry2732 "I can only imagine how Apple's engineers felt seeing Steve Jobs demonstrate Apple's first attempt at a cell phone that just happened to have a touch screen to the world in 2007 "
I amended that for you because touch screens where invented in 1965 by Eric Arthur Johnson. The first touch screen phone was also the first smart phone and that was the IBM Simon Personal Communicator released in 1994, 13 years before Apple.
Apple engineers should still be proud of the iPhone though.
I've literally never worked for any job over the last 4 and a bit decades where even a single employee from the lady who came in once a week to clean toilets all the way up to the CEO viewed it as anything more than a job they hated but did just to earn a paycheck. I can't even imagine what it would be like to work in a place where even a small fraction of the workforce was enthusiastic about the job.
Imagine that's what you built?? could've just converted an actual dodge chassis. It already had most the components. Minus, lights, ac, power anything!! That's why the engineer didn't call back.. it's a POS. I loved the passion in the video but after thinking on it...that car was a money grab. The CEO doesn't want it, he's probably under lawsuit,and covering his backside. I'd get that thing out of my shop before it burns down
Same, Ive been blessed, as an electronics technician/engineer
Loved the call with Amy at the end. She was super knowledgeable! I’m curious what she’s doing now as well as what the retail price was for the pre orders.
wow that gal is super excited what a lovely lady .she is reliving her past 12 years ago life .
I know you love a good challenge and EV’s and I wasn’t feeling this project but it 1.1M views in one week can’t be argued with! I hope it’s brought you a bunch of new subscribers!
I love seeing prototype videos as there is always interesting things to be found. I used to work for a large Japanese camera/printer/copier company, and when I would visit some of the larger corporate offices I would see many prototype and preproduction versions of the machines being used by the employees, likely there to iron out bugs and machine issues before they went to market. I find it fascinating seeing and using beta versions of mass produced equipment. I look forward to part 2 of this!
I remember the hype on these. My uncle was going to invest in them. He had gotten their prospective and they had pans for cars like the smart car, a medium sized sedan with 5 doors. Another company was Hyberion. They never even built anything but were trying to raise money to hire designers and engineers.
Just ended up watching this ep on Facebook can’t wait for an update
