@@truckerdave2060 im sure he did, i would've got jay to sign my dashboard too. I was joking around thinking "now Jay's gotta be fair and let Jack drive of one of his cars now!" Lol. Jack would be sweating bullets at all the different choices of engineering excellence.
@@billgee02 That was the 428 SCJ Cobra Jet that couldn't pass gas stations. The 429 SCJ had the same problem.It's amazing how fuel injection and overdrive automatics have improved fuel mileage. We can run a perfect 14.7 to 1 air/fuel ratio most of the time.
A lot of people wouldn't give a 15 year old kid the time of day but Jay welcomes the kid into his shop, treats the kid with respect and talks to him as a friend. I appreciate that.
and that is so sad... simply behaving like a decent human gets people like you fawning with amazement. This behavior used to be the rule, not the exception
Good news! Jack is currently at McPherson College studying Automotive Restoration. He still has this car and enjoys it daily! I am extremely thankful to know him and he is a fantastic person to hang out with. (I am his roommate at school)
Yes they do. Love people like Jay, Derek @ VGG and others that do their best to save automotive history and get the younger guys and gals interested in doing the same.
And look how he enters the scene. It's like "look at me ni***s, I'm the king of this street". I like how he talks, but the entrance was not even close to humble
@@albertwesker2283 but there's nothing like your 1st car - and I say this as a 19 year old. Sure, my '08 Hyundai i10 is a shitbox, but I love it because it's my first, can't ever replace that.
Jay is a class act. I'm blown away that he featured this young man and his car on his show. we need more of our youth getting involved in the car culture.
unfortunately one reason kids aren't into them is all in what he says he spent on restoring it- twelve grand. Hot rods are a rich old man's game. Thanks for nothing, government and Detroit.
My favorite bit of Jay's talk -- "Mustangs never looked right with a headrest on them [on top of the seat]. I like this look to it! Oh sure, you'll snap your neck and be in a wheelchair for the rest of your life but it looks better!" 😂 🤣 I hope the kid's mother doesn't hear that!
When i was 14 my Dad told me he would match every dollar i could earn and save towards my first car. I lied and told a burger joint i was 16 so they would hire me, i saved up $1500. My first car was a beautiful 69 Mach 1, we paid $4500 for it in 1980. My advice to that kid would be to NEVER sell that car, you will regret it if you do. I miss you Dad.
My family was in the Model A Club and I heard too many stories of “the Car I Should Have Never Sold”. So about 1985, I bought my ‘65 Mustang, V8, Auto trans with Factory Air. My air conditioner had the old Ford Shield logo on the face plate, so I knew his was after market…
Jack is an impressive ,well spoken young man ands it’s certainly nice to see him carry on the vintage car hobby . It’s so nice to see Jay feature his car and all the work he’s done .
The kid's a punk who hasn't done any of the work himself or paid for any of the work himself. ...I did both when I bought my '58 Chevy at 14. Next time the show should feature someone more deserving instead of this commercial spot paid for by the rich lawyer dad. GROSS!!! Now you know how someone could give this a thumbs down. You just need to pay attention to what you're watching. Then maybe you'll get it...unless you're THIS kid...then you won't.
@@houseofthediamond8191 So let me get this straight, you think bad of the kid because his dad is a lawyer with no interest in cars. Hmmm. Honestly, IMO this kid has as much street cred as a kid whose father is a mechanic who shaped his interest and "helped" him rebuild an entire car "himself."
@@houseofthediamond8191 a punk ? you are missing the point of the show . It is for car People hosted by THE car person . So if he was some Rich actor or sports star who had all the money in the world to restore a car that would be ok ? Maybe you are just an troll looking to argue but if you are serious you are the punk !
@@luciusthegreat5569 And ironically, Jay himself is rich enough to employ four of his own specialist technicians to do the heavy lifting on his many restoration projects, and I don't know of _anyone_ who thinks badly of Jay for doing that.
@@houseofthediamond8191 He hasn't done any of the work himself? Did you even watch the video (ironic really since you said "you need to pay attention to what you're watching)?

Cut the kid some slack its not 1972 anymore, you can't buy a classic car on a minimum wage budget unless you want a complete rust bucket that doesn't run or drive.
Jay, thank you for showing Jack the greatest respect in the world. Today you've changed his life forever. Its amazing that someone with your status would take the time to be so authentic and interested in him and encouraging. You truly are a class act.
@Jack Mintz AWESOME!! :) The point Jay was making at 16:52 when he mentions "some kid's first car is a Lamborghini that their dad bought them", you KNOW what your car is worth to you, and it's ALREADY a GREAT investment for your future. Just take care of it and yourself and hopefully Jay will be the ONLY other person you ever let drive it! :)
Someday we’re all gonna realize Jay is one of the best humans we know. NEVER talks down to anybody, always gives the guest their due. Never patronizing, doesn’t matter your sex, race, ethnicity or in this case age. Jay treats you the same. Like a car person.
Well, he did say the six cylinder engine in the kid's car was marketed to women. His jealous friends are going to watch this video and say 'Jay Leno says your car has a girl motor". That will sort of sting, but then at the end of the school day that sweet Mustang is going to be waiting in the parking lot for him.
@@pete1729 - the Ford straight six is a very reliable engine! Only one head gasket, etc! Great bottom end torque. That's no girly engine! I bet he can squawk those tires with that engine.

More to your point, there used to be a local broadcasting legend named Huell Howser that also treated anyone he talked to with the same easy going attitude. Never condescending, just as a curious person. If you showed an enthusiasm for a subject, whether it be a pot of mud or Yosemite falls, it didn't matter, he wanted you to share your story. Good job Mr. Leno.
Every time someone took off with one of my Corvettes, another person would say that very same thing. If you could have seen the look on your face.. 62,66,..or my 68, the look on your face!????
Jay, One of the BEST episodes you’ve ever done. Great to see you recognizing young kids like Jack. Cars bring people together from all walks of life. Jack will remember the time you spent with him forever. Well done !!
This may be my favorite episode ever. Do more like this Jay. Would be great for Jay/NBC to provide "restoration scholarships" of $5k-$10k to young owners to help them continue improving their cars - then come back in a year or two to see how they did.
Jack is my hero! My dad let me purchase my first car to restore when I was 15. We learned a ton and made a lot of great memories wandering around junk yards for parts, learning to weld, etc. None of my 3 kids showed much interest in working on cars while they were growing up, but I haven't given up hope yet. Bravo for featuring this great young man, Jay.
Gosh. I remember 30 years ago when I turned 16....and I’m sure others can go even further of course, but there’s so much life ahead, and my point in all this is for some reason after watching this I just want this young man to have a good one, may the days come easy for him on down the road...
This is a very humbling experience for that young man, to get a chance to meet Jay Leno at his garage and have him talk about your car, it doesn’t get any better than that.
Kudos to you, Jay for giving young Mr. Mintz and his exceptionally nice 56 year-old Mustang this moment in the Sun and best wishes for Mr. Mintz's future.
Jay Leno may very well be the nicest guy on earth! Them two were kicking the can down the road together like old pals who had known each other there whole lives!
Why? What did he do other than be born into a wealthy family? Dad paid for everything and he did almost no sweat equity into the car. Anyone with money can go buy a cool car:
@@austinformedude true, but it does take a certain amount of class to be rich and famous and not come off as a dousche. If I make it to being rich and famous I hope I am a good enough guy to carry an air like Jay does.
This one of the best video's on this channel!! It shows that Jay is such a great guy. This (great) kid is never gonna forget this! Well done Jay & Jack 👏👏👏👏
I will bet young Mintz's dad is so pleased to see his son with Jay and watch how great his demeanor is with Jay. Also, I note this young man is not starting out going the muscle way, rather a simple solution for his first car while still in school. I am more impressed (as a father) with this young man than his first vehicle. Jay deserves some serious kudos for "balancing" his program via presentations such as this!
This is some awesome stuff! It just warms my heart to see young people taking interest in vintage classic cars and other collectibles. We need more of this. After all, who's going to take possession of all of our old collectibles when we check out? Jack has a great future ahead of him.
So cool! Seeing this young guy fix up an old Mustang. Kudo's to both of you. Jack for going this route and Jay for showing us this young man and his car. 👍
I think that’s what made him so endearing to me watching this....I saw a little of myself in his mannerisms talking with Jay. Just a wonderful little video.
Congrats to Jack...and the Grandparents! I loved my '65 Six! LOVED IT! Jay having Jack on is the whole reason why Jay is such a Legend & the REAL car-guy deal! This is my new favorite episode!
„Were you worried, when I was driving it? Well, no… actually yes, I was!” 🙃 That’s my boy! Great episode, seeing our own passion in the youngest ones. Thanks, Jay!
I love the innocence and reserved nature of this young man. The shirt was a prefect choice on his part, living the California life! I would like more videos like this one.
I remember an old HOT ROD magazine cover that said "6 in a row will go" and it always amazed me what you can do with a 6 or a 4 cylinder to make it feel good. Great car for this young man.
Jay Leno is the reason for young people to get a classic car. He treats you like he is your grandpa telling you why you should and shouldnt buy an old car. Thanks Jay the new generation needs you
That's really cool that you were able to give him the opportunity to talk about the car he loves to much on your show. I find it rare now that younger kids have an interest in cars at all, let alone classics. Let's keep that spirit alive.
LOVE this video. Best JLG segment in a while. What a great kid. So awesome of Jay to put his money where his mouth is about actually giving to the next generation
Great to see anyone trying to do something over always waiting for another person to do it for them! Also for a person like jay who is willing to give his advice, experience along with encouragement to try
That young man will never forget this ! Nice of you to have him on your show !
40 years from now he will be interviewed as the man who met Jay in person
Soo true!
Jack doesn't have the fastest car in the school parking lot, but it's definitely the coolest. Great to see the kid take an interest in it and make it better.
Not to mention he got to meet Jay Leno and let Jay drive his car. He's the coolest kid in that School. I hope Jay showed him around the garage.

Yes they do. Love people like Jay, Derek @ VGG and others that do their best to save automotive history and get the younger guys and gals interested in doing the same.
No matter what the age. You are either into cars or not
A feller needs a good old ride to take care of. Plus it might just be profitable🏎
Jay is a car guy not an angry old man with a cool car.

I love how humble this kid is about his cool car. He appreciates it and doesn't flaunt.
And look how he enters the scene. It's like "look at me ni***s, I'm the king of this street". I like how he talks, but the entrance was not even close to humble
The look of worry on the boy's face as Jay drives his Stang out - he doesn't realize where he's standing...perfect!

I think that’s what made him so endearing to me watching this....I saw a little of myself in his mannerisms talking with Jay. Just a wonderful little video.
yea I thought it was a rerun.
Yeah you should have seen his hair before he cut it. Totally out of the goonies
He definitely seems like he’s from another generation... can tell the parents raised him right.
What a great young man. Super that Jay had him on this show, made my day.
This young man has an awesome future ahead of him. His parents must be very proud of him.
Agreed!
The young man has his head on straight, Wish him well in the pursuit of automotive career.
which will be electric...
agreed
I love seeing a young fella like this. It's guys like him that will keep our hobby going after we are long gone.
From one Jack to another, GREAT JOB!!! Young man starting off on the right foot!!!
Congrats to Jack...and the Grandparents! I loved my '65 Six! LOVED IT! Jay having Jack on is the whole reason why Jay is such a Legend & the REAL car-guy deal! This is my new favorite episode!
„Were you worried, when I was driving it? Well, no… actually yes, I was!” 🙃 That’s my boy! Great episode, seeing our own passion in the youngest ones. Thanks, Jay!
hahahah
An older guy and a kid in a comfortable, easy conversation. Love of cars is what they have in common.
Yes!
Props to Jack for leaving the six in it. Great job and you'll have many more years to work on and enjoy your Mustang!
HP on the 200 cubic inch was 120. Had a '66 in '68. Great car. Great memories.
I like this kind of kids, everybody now is on their ipad and computers playing games. Nice to see young kids like old classic cars. 👍🏻
I love the innocence and reserved nature of this young man. The shirt was a prefect choice on his part, living the California life! I would like more videos like this one.
A teenager who can string a sentence together is a wonderful thing!
Didn’t see him check his phone once.
AND look at a grown up while speaking?
I remember an old HOT ROD magazine cover that said "6 in a row will go" and it always amazed me what you can do with a 6 or a 4 cylinder to make it feel good. Great car for this young man.
I was grinning the whole time through this episode. That was great. Just 2 guys hangin' out
Bravo Jack and cheers to Jay for being a good guy for recognizing the young guy. Totally loved this episode.
Yes!
Jay Leno is the reason for young people to get a classic car. He treats you like he is your grandpa telling you why you should and shouldnt buy an old car. Thanks Jay the new generation needs you
What a great episode. The best yet. Jay and Jack. Jay so gracious and Jack humble yet confident.
In 20 years, he will watch this, remember, and smile.
That was wonderful! Jack is a great kid. He will remember this, always.
He’s looking up and thinking, “I can’t believe that Jay Leno is driving my car.” He only knows Jay as America’s Car curator.
No. He's looking up thinking, oh I've just given my baby to some old man! Will she be safe :-)
Love how he is so excited to show Jay his accomplishment and Jay compliments his achievements. Very humble young man. Car is awesome!!
That’s what it’s all about. Jay is my hero. Great young man also. Great parents
That's really cool that you were able to give him the opportunity to talk about the car he loves to much on your show. I find it rare now that younger kids have an interest in cars at all, let alone classics. Let's keep that spirit alive.
Such an amazing deep, ruby red color with just a hint of crimson. Beautiful.
LOVE this video. Best JLG segment in a while. What a great kid. So awesome of Jay to put his money where his mouth is about actually giving to the next generation
Love episodes like this!! Would love to see more “kids first car” shows.
Kinda jealous of Jack & Jay getting to cruise in such a beautiful car.
Yes!
Great to see anyone trying to do something over always waiting for another person to do it for them! Also for a person like jay who is willing to give his advice, experience along with encouragement to try
