Bacon is an LA native who has the city in his blood. Like many, he was attracted to the freedom and style that the right car can unlock. He casually started an Instagram account, Motoring While Black, to keep his personal feed from being overrun with pictures of his GTI ... but has since evolved it to be a catalyst for connecting with and inspiring other people of color to get into the car scene, while showcasing those who came before him. The car featured in this video, a BMW 1600 running a straight-six from an E30, is his first vintage machine. The inspiration for the motor swap came on one of his very first drives with the thing when the original engine blew up. Since then he's been tuning it, refining it, and driving the hell out of it.
