@@averagereviews3389what an absurd incompetent/arrogant statement. You have absolutely zero clue what your talking about. I know Mr. Lee personally. He’s extremely knowledgeable. Think before you hurt yourself again and produce another thought.
From one car guy to another, I just want to thank Mr. Leno and all his guests for sharing their cars and passion for cars on this show AND making it so accessible to everyone!
I love when David Lee is on here. He seems like such a down to earth, genuine car guy. He doesn't act like a know it all. You can tell he learns things from Jay. I like how he interacts with Jay. It's like he interviews him by asking him questions instead of just answering questions. It's always a special episode when David is on. And his cars........WOW!
I grew up in North Malibu in the 60s. Every so often, while we would be waiting for the school bus to take us to high school in Santa Monica, Steve McQueen would drive by in his latest acquisition. Ever since then, this car and a BRG Mini Cooper S with the Union Jack on the roof have been the cars that I have lusted after forever. He always honked and waved - the ultimate Mr. Cool!
Steve was THE man. I had to have his Winchester rifle and hat as the bounty hunter he was on TV when I was 8 or 10 years old. Got them for Christmas. Never been happier in my life !
I don't think I've ever seen Jay so happy and relaxed, and one of the great things about these videos is that you KNOW he's not reading from a script - he's got this all in his head... I love it.
At age 17, when I brought my date home on time, her dad, John Cuccio, approvingly took me for a spin in his Ferrari red 275 GTB4. After a few miles pulled over and asked me if I wanted to drive! We took it out onto the Merritt Parkway westbound where I got it up to about 125 mph before he said, "Now Joey..." That happened several times before we hit the NY state line and turned around. In a memory that haunts me to this day 50 years later, when pulling it into his small garage, between the long, low nose which you could not see from the driver's seat, and the abrupt, heavy dog clutch, I lurched forward and dinged the beautiful, hand formed aluminum nose of the Ferrari. I still cringe at the memory. But her dad, after taking a few seconds to compose himself, put me at ease, and he had his personal mechanic pound it out by hand and repaint it. My bad!
@@Bull3tBikes No, it really happened, and over fifty years later I still cringe and suffer pangs of guilt . Mr. Cuccio was so gracious and he never made me feel bad about it.
Thanks to David for sharing another stunning car from his collection. It's fantastic to see someone who so obviously has a passion that he gets pleasure from sharing with other, not just owning and collecting.
David Lee is my favorite guest on Jay Lenos Garage. I love every episode when he brings any of his Ferraris for show to us. Thank you both! This episode should have millions of views, it's an amazing car. 11:55 that might be the most beautiful car I have ever seen, great to see it on the road.
Hi David, I still have the “front” license plate and the Italian Cup trophy from its entry in the Carmel-by-the-Sea show of the Concours on the Avenue. The Italian Cup was presented to the car representing the best in Ferrari ownership and use. This car went everywhere from the grocery store to weekend coastal drives to Montana to an anniversary tour organized by Patrick Ottis and to Italy at Fiorano. The car was also one of the 51 lucky entrants at the 40th Anniversary Tour organized by Ferrari in 2004. We were the 49-ers from California as our car got the number 49. I also have some memorabilia from that adventure for you if you like to keep a library for each of your wonderful cars.
Just watched this video for the 1000th time. My all-time favorite Ferrari, along with the 328GTS. I visited a Ferrari dealer, Modena Engineering in Surrey, England in the 80's with my boy for a tour. The Service manager castigated me because I used the term 'Daytona' to describe the 365 GTB4. 'We refer to this model as the 365 GTB-4, not Daytona," he told me! :) He said simply the 275 is so much better balanced than the 365, but to watch out for the brakes, which he said, left a lot to be desired. He showed me a 275 they had in the shop. My son and I sat in it and started it up. The sound, as Jay said, is incredible, and all from 3.3 litres! The Service manager then told me this 275 was owned by Eric Clapton, who was big mates with Nick Mason of Pink Floyd, who was a co-director of Modena. Great memories and a great video. Thanks Jay and David.
In 2004 I had the honour of driving with a friend through Europe to Maranello for the 40th anniversary event in a silver 1967. It was by far the most amazing car experience I have ever had. I had a chance to drive the car as well and to this day no other car had the tactile and aural feedback of this car. It was so amazing that I wouldn't want any other car having a choice, not even a Miura SV which is also an amazing experience and has a more spectacular view from the driver's seat. Thanks for finally making a great high definition video of this car.
Me too! I wanted to be a car designer "when I grow up". I used to create my own designs from side view when very young and I also collected 1:18 scale model cars. Sometimes id just sit in my room and draw those from different angles.
Great video and seeing this on the highway. It has a really high belt line, long hood very low at the nose, the roof is very low, even the windshield from the side is shaped like a U for stability. So cool to see this howling through the open hills. Could never begrudge David, he’s open and gracious, even soliciting Jays opinions.
"Hey Jay, do you like Sushi?" LoL! Honestly, great episode and the owner was a cool dude. Seemed really layed back and stoked to just be in the presence of Jay.
Was just going to post this. What a lovely thing to say! Your mind wanders, wondering what other classic Ferraris he has, and wondering what Ferraris he has that are not classic (other than the LaFerrari mentioned earlier in the video).
In 1967 I was like Jay...I was still at high school here in Sydney and worked at the Sydney Ferrari Dealership, Scuderia Veloce. The owner was David MacKay, past Australian touring car champion and had the Australian Ferrari concession. We have a famous mountain racing circuit, Mt Panorama, at Bathurst NSW about 3 hours drive from Sydney. We were running a team of cars in that years race and David drove from Sydney in an exact same GTB4 as this one and let me come along for the ride. We did it in 2.5 hours and he did not hang around. It was late at night. It was a mesmerising experience to have the windows down and hear the V12 wailing up and down the rev range and being punted hard by a very good driver. On the long flat approaching Bathurst we saw an indicated 172mph at 8100rpm in top. All you heard was the wind, the induction roar of those 12 weber trumpets and the wail of that V12 at those revs. Amazing. On the way back I got a ride in his LM250 which is now in a collection in the USA. That was even more of an experience. And it wasn't even road registered and had a full open exhaust.
Classically beautiful, just like you Jay. I agree with everything you have said so far. Early XKE is a beautiful car. The 275 is a brutal iteration of the beautiful car.
It was actually inspired by the E-Type. More precisely the Series 1 (short nose) one. Although the Series 1 has a tendency to take off at high speed, hence that's why they made it long nose for the Series 2.
Today I was at a car show here in Upstate NY, couple nice cars (actually, a lot) - 300SL Gullwing, 599, DB4 Superleggera, and of course, the 275. This one was restored from a dark red to black paint, but kept the original maroon interior and engine was untouched. After waiting about 4 hours for a startup, the owner comes over to it and says he's moving it across the lawn, under the shade, and asks me if I want to ride in it. I quickly accepted, and just as we get to the lawn he says he'll go around again and park in the center. Second time around, he drives to the gate and yells to my dad "We'll be back in a few minutes!" Right out of the gate he floors it, and that car is something else. Went around a couple blocks and downtown, I felt like the coolest person. A truly incredible car.
I owned a 1980 Benz 240D (with an automatic transmission) for about 7 years or so... 0-to-60 times measured with a calendar, not a stopwatch. LOL. But absolutely reliable as you could want, and decent fuel mileage for a reasonably-sized sedan. I liked it -- just don't get in a hurry to go anywhere. :-)
I bought a 1982 240D new off the lot, traded in a BMW because it was for my wife and she had five accidents in the BMW. It was slow, but solid as a rock, drove like a tank. I kept it for 18 years over 300,000 miles and I went back adding up all the expenses. Including fuel, that car cost me 9.9 cents per mile to drive and looked as good as new inside and out 18 years later. Nobody makes cars over-engineered like that anymore.
+Robert Carver Yeah -- massively over-engineered. But it was a $20,000 car, when you could buy, say, a Cadillac for $7,000. So you definitely paid for it -- but you got what you paid for.
Do the math, that Cadillac costs less up front, at the time it was $14K, not seven, and it was worth nothing five years later. It costs about 35 cents a mile to drive that thing. The doors clattered when it was brand new, everything rattled, like a bucket of bolts, typical GM garbage.
I just can't imagine a slow mercedes. I have a 300D (1987 6 cylinder 3L turbo diesel) and it can haul it compared to most cars (of that erra). Its not a race car, but it does pretty good. The first time I put my foot to the floor was on a highway with nobody around. At the time it was only running on 5 out of 6 cylinders, and smoked so much at idle I nicknamed it the smog machine (fuel injector problem). When I stomped on it, I let off a small amount at 5,500 rpm and at 50 mph, it slammed into 3rd gear spinning tires in a massive amount of tire smoke and I fishtailed and barely kept it on the road (I took up all the lanes), having to let off at 60 mph to not throw it into the ditch. That was awesome! My dad and I had bought it for $500, then got a spare engine at a junk yard for $90, yanked the head, fuel injector, and a few other pieces to fix the car. I was honestly expecting a slow 80's car, but it was terrifying, so amazing. I'm hopefully going to put another 200k miles on it before I have to do anything else major to it (its young with around 280k). Its held up great, and I drive it like a baby, unless I see a cool muscle car, then I do my best to leave them in a cloud of black smoke. That diesel sure has torque! Still by far my favorite car I've driven. It has personality (a loud engine, lots of smoke, and likes to do burn outs), and it can handle corners faster than a lot of new basic cars. It really lets you feel when you're about to loose it around a corner, giving plenty of warning. All around great car.
David has one of the most desirable Ferrari collections AND remains a solid, humble and open person. I salute that. Thanks for sharing the collection, they are sublime!
Jay and David Lee, what an item.... David truly knows his vehicles, is a real car Man. And Jay is...Jay! Always fabulous, impressive and very low profile. Quite a treat, to revisit this Video
Jay always makes me feel so nostalgic. I, too, grew up in a one stoplight town in Massachusetts. I drove a 1976 Fiat in high school and people thought I was crazy. I remember seeing a 246GT in Scituate for $16,000 and my Dad was a mechanic and had worked on it. $16,000 might have been $16,000,000 back then. The 275 is my favorite all time car. I’m very fortunate to be in SoCal and have a V12 XKE nowadays. What a lovely car the 275 is. I’m glad it gets driven regularly. I’d love to see it on a freeway.
LOL 😂 That just showed how well these two guys get along to the point they would make idle conversations while driving an exotic like that. I think it’s admirable 👍🏻
Dam Jay, you make great videos for #carguys, thank you! I watched this entire video with a smile on my face! When I Googled this Ferrari, my jaw practically bounced off the floor. It's worth more than 3 million today in good condition.
I have watched MANY episodes, I also live in LA and I'm familiar with the location of Jay's shop; I have never seen him drive SO much! He is LOVING this experience!
I was there. Couldn't afford it then either. Better? A meaningless sentiment, better for who, in what way? 1967 was certainly simpler than now, it was the year I was discharged from the army. 1964, the year I went in was a lot simpler than 1967.
@@lancebaker1374, he means that he wishes he existed during that era, to appreciate and enjoy it. Tbh, seeing the state of the world today, it's hard to disagree.
He should've asked himself if he's ever seen a guy wearing denim on denim at the local sushi spot before asking that one because the answer is obviously no.
Not random at all. I think the owner also has a highly rated sushi restaurant, where they fly in the finest fish from all over the world the day they're caught.
Thank you for sharing, I was 16 driving on the interstate with my mom all at once this exact car blew by us in my new corvette. It was true love first sight, this is and always favorite car. again thank you so much !
That's the immediate thought I had when I saw this new vid too! He has done Ferraris before though, I guess it's more that he doesn't own any, which I've always found odd...he's got everything else.
+JCW80 As a true story goes. Back when Jay's celebrity status was not as big, he went to buy a top of the line Ferrari at a local dealer. They turned him away because he needed to already owned another Ferrari and/or had to be invited by Ferrari. Since then, he vowed not to own a Ferrari. Good for Jay and hopefully Ferrari will make it up their mistake one day.
One Datsun executive to another: "I've got a great idea. Let's slightly uglify a Ferrari 275 GTB4. We'll call it the 240Z." The 275 GTB4 certainly belongs in any Top 5 Most Beautiful Ferraris list.
This is the Ferrari that I used to drool about ,...oh those many years ago. How beautiful! What lines and curves! They remind me of ,......... oh never mind. Well, her name is Linda .
I envy both of you guys. Like Jay, I grew up in the 60 - 70s reading road and track and dreaming about these Ferrari's. Too bad i'll go to my grave before driving, let alone owning one of these - but dreaming is almost as good. Thanks for the vid.
sounds like someone working a panel with an english wheel at one part, and definitely someone hitting metal with a hammer, (1,2,3,4, pause, 1,2,3,4, pause )
+awdturbo4 for about 10 seconds at the beginning of the noise it sounds like heavy breathing (sounds like, I didn't think it was breathing). Granted, I'm listening on an old iPhone at max volume.
***** You're right cars were meant to drive however there comes a point when it's worth too valuable. This already was built in the 60s. If it gets destroyed you can't just go back to the sixties and get another one. That era is done and over with. I do agree with the kit car point. It would be a lot more fun to build a kit car because then you could drive it as much as you want and not have to worry about a three-million-dollar liability
Yeah, I was a little disappointed to hear Jay say that was "like a 302 small block V8". Jay, dude, 5-liter, 302, Z-28, that's *why* Chevy put a 302 in the Z28 ... Also, headrests weren't in US cars in '67 either - that was '69.
I didn't hear him asking for lunch tho. @18:22 he just said, "do you like sushi?" ...in the middle of freakin' car review. in which, the host seemingly shot the question down.
I was stationed in Germany while in the Army back in the mid sixties. An Army chaplain from my hometown was stationed near me. In 1966 a fellow, also from my hometown, had been studying for the priesthood in Rome and was being ordained. The chaplain wanted to attend the ordination at St. Peter's basilica and asked if I wanted to go as well. I said sure and we flew to Rome. One afternoon while the chaplain was taking a nap, I wandered around Rome near the Vatican and came across a silver Ferrari GTB parked on a street. The photo I took of that car is one of my most treasured car photos. I have had a lot of nice cars since then but never had the coin to buy a GTB. Like Jay, the GTB has always been one of my dream cars.
I had a student job at TAK motors in Johannesburg South Africa as a workshop receptionist. TAK were the agents for Lancia and Ferrari and I made a point of being available whenever a Ferrari would go out for a post service test drive. The first GT275 arrived in around 1966 for Advocate Coetzee, a prominent barrister. Car was white oddly enough, and I remember it to be simply breathtakingly beautiful, Today some 55 years later it still has the same affect.
aint the first time I've noticed Jay make a mistake like this. A few years ago he would've never said something like this, especially because of the 302 mustang. Working with a lot of patient with Alzheimer's I unfortunately see similar mistakes with them.
I love how Mr Lee asks jay questions and doesn't act like he knows everything. U can tell how much respect he has for Jay. Love your cars lee
Let's Jay have the spotlight... even though we all know Mr Lee probably knows EVERYTHING about Ferrari down to the nut and bolt....Well done sir!
I couldn't agree more. I've seen 3 maybe 4 episodes with David, and he always struck me as a great conversationalist.
Well he’s a jeweler I doubt he really knows anything.
@@averagereviews3389what an absurd incompetent/arrogant statement. You have absolutely zero clue what your talking about. I know Mr. Lee personally. He’s extremely knowledgeable. Think before you hurt yourself again and produce another thought.

nice
Before a leg day I like to carb up on protein milk and protein cereal

Steve McQueen died too young.
Steve was THE man. I had to have his Winchester rifle and hat as the bounty hunter he was on TV when I was 8 or 10 years old. Got them for Christmas. Never been happier in my life !
The 275 GTB4 is an absolute masterpiece. One of the most, if not the most, beautiful car ever made.
I wholeheartedly agree. Nothing like a classic Ferrari.
Amen
Love it too, but to me the headlight covers look too large proportionally.
Would rather have a 250 California
Racing Red not as beautiful as a Pontiac Aztec
I don't think I've ever seen Jay so happy and relaxed, and one of the great things about these videos is that you KNOW he's not reading from a script - he's got this all in his head... I love it.

I love how Mr Lee really likes to get Jay's opinion on his cars. U can tell its genuine. Mr Lee is a smart dude. His channel is very informative
Mr Lee is so respectful and his enthusiasm is awesome, thanks for sharing your cars with us.
David lee is my favorite car collector on the internet. So knowledgeable and humble and loves to share is toys.
What an awesome chap this Mr. Lee, still willing to learn from a pro like Leno and asking questions. Thumbs up, great video!
"Hey, Jay, do you like sushi?" Now THAT is a question I never thought I would hear on this channel.
That’s why they left it in. It was really a LOL moment. Jay gets paid to make jokes about sushi! 🤣
I'm just curious where the conversation would go if Jay would've said yes.
David is such a great guy

David and Jay put on a car show in Lee's neighbourhood. The streets are packed with exotic cars like this, all genuinely driven!

The front engine Ferraris will always be the greatest machines. Wow!

LoL! Honestly, great episode and the owner was a cool dude. Seemed really layed back and stoked to just be in the presence of Jay.
"All my classic Ferraris are front engined V12s........yeah, I just love it!..." There's a sentence I'll never say!
Now he also has a Dino restomod so so tastefully done. That's my favorite. Reminds me of Tony Curtis' Danny Wilde caracter. Loved that serie.

Oh yeah, "The 98 Explorer", fine year sir, fine year... You should pair it with a nice Chardonnay.
I owned a 1980 Benz 240D (with an automatic transmission) for about 7 years or so... 0-to-60 times measured with a calendar, not a stopwatch. LOL. But absolutely reliable as you could want, and decent fuel mileage for a reasonably-sized sedan. I liked it -- just don't get in a hurry to go anywhere. :-)
I bought a 1982 240D new off the lot, traded in a BMW because it was for my wife and she had five accidents in the BMW. It was slow, but solid as a rock, drove like a tank. I kept it for 18 years over 300,000 miles and I went back adding up all the expenses. Including fuel, that car cost me 9.9 cents per mile to drive and looked as good as new inside and out 18 years later. Nobody makes cars over-engineered like that anymore.
+Robert Carver We had a '83 240D. Loved that car, but that thing was dangerous trying to get on the 10 fwy around LA.
+Robert Carver Yeah -- massively over-engineered. But it was a $20,000 car, when you could buy, say, a Cadillac for $7,000. So you definitely paid for it -- but you got what you paid for.
Do the math, that Cadillac costs less up front, at the time it was $14K, not seven, and it was worth nothing five years later. It costs about 35 cents a mile to drive that thing. The doors clattered when it was brand new, everything rattled, like a bucket of bolts, typical GM garbage.
I just can't imagine a slow mercedes. I have a 300D (1987 6 cylinder 3L turbo diesel) and it can haul it compared to most cars (of that erra). Its not a race car, but it does pretty good.
The first time I put my foot to the floor was on a highway with nobody around. At the time it was only running on 5 out of 6 cylinders, and smoked so much at idle I nicknamed it the smog machine (fuel injector problem). When I stomped on it, I let off a small amount at 5,500 rpm and at 50 mph, it slammed into 3rd gear spinning tires in a massive amount of tire smoke and I fishtailed and barely kept it on the road (I took up all the lanes), having to let off at 60 mph to not throw it into the ditch. That was awesome!
My dad and I had bought it for $500, then got a spare engine at a junk yard for $90, yanked the head, fuel injector, and a few other pieces to fix the car. I was honestly expecting a slow 80's car, but it was terrifying, so amazing. I'm hopefully going to put another 200k miles on it before I have to do anything else major to it (its young with around 280k). Its held up great, and I drive it like a baby, unless I see a cool muscle car, then I do my best to leave them in a cloud of black smoke. That diesel sure has torque!
Still by far my favorite car I've driven. It has personality (a loud engine, lots of smoke, and likes to do burn outs), and it can handle corners faster than a lot of new basic cars. It really lets you feel when you're about to loose it around a corner, giving plenty of warning. All around great car.
David has one of the most desirable Ferrari collections AND remains a solid, humble and open person. I salute that. Thanks for sharing the collection, they are sublime!
Jay and David Lee, what an item....
David truly knows his vehicles, is a real car Man.
And Jay is...Jay!
Always fabulous, impressive and very low profile.
Quite a treat, to revisit this Video
The perfect classic!!
What a gorgeous classic!
Uploaded 5 months ago?
how did I miss this one? What a beautiful car.
David makes me smile. Good guy with amazing cars. Thanks, JL.
Jay always makes me feel so nostalgic. I, too, grew up in a one stoplight town in Massachusetts. I drove a 1976 Fiat in high school and people thought I was crazy. I remember seeing a 246GT in Scituate for $16,000 and my Dad was a mechanic and had worked on it. $16,000 might have been $16,000,000 back then. The 275 is my favorite all time car. I’m very fortunate to be in SoCal and have a V12 XKE nowadays. What a lovely car the 275 is. I’m glad it gets driven regularly. I’d love to see it on a freeway.
18:24 "Do you like Sushi Jay?" "No, I'm basic" LOL
LOL 😂 That just showed how well these two guys get along to the point they would make idle conversations while driving an exotic like that. I think it’s admirable 👍🏻
I think the 275 is the best looking Ferrari ever built. I mean just look at those lines and curves
Definitely a gem! The only other Ferrari that even comes close is the 250 GT California Spyder.
Dam Jay, you make great videos for #carguys, thank you! I watched this entire video with a smile on my face! When I Googled this Ferrari, my jaw practically bounced off the floor. It's worth more than 3 million today in good condition.
I have watched MANY episodes, I also live in LA and I'm familiar with the location of Jay's shop; I have never seen him drive SO much! He is LOVING this experience!
i love that you can tell Jay is LEGIT excited and thrilled to show case/drive this car and he has a special love for it
This car represents a simpler, better time that i wish i would have existed for.
The last year of hand built Ferraris
I was there. Couldn't afford it then either. Better? A meaningless sentiment, better for who, in what way? 1967 was certainly simpler than now, it was the year I was discharged from the army. 1964, the year I went in was a lot simpler than 1967.
"i would have existed for" What does that mean????
@@lancebaker1374, he means that he wishes he existed during that era, to appreciate and enjoy it. Tbh, seeing the state of the world today, it's hard to disagree.
All nostalgia is an exercise in cherry-picking.
No Jay, a 302 is 5 liters. This Ferrari is 201C.I.
I think the displacement is more comparable to a minivan V6 than a 302.
i think he meant more like the engine overall size from being a v12 small letter to a big liter v8
I was thinking the same thing...
Letter?
+john robert haha liters
Sounds like something is breathing really hard in the mic 😂😂😂
omg I thought I was just crazy lol
Lol it bothered me the whole time too!
I was thinks the same thing! Ha
I thought I was the only one! I'm sitting in my room and I thought someone was sneaking up on me
what can i say that was one sexy ferrari
What an awesome video. These videos with David Lee and his Ferraris are truly amazing this one in particular. This car is a masterpiece
I've watched this episode at least 5 times and I can't get enough of looking at probably the most beautiful car ever built.
I love how David Lee subtlety interviews Jay.
"It drives good, right? Doesn't it drive well, Jay!"
David keeps trying to rationalize how much he spent for the car! LOL 😅😅
Hahahahah that sushi question was so random
hahahaha! so random and then Jay just shuts him down w/ a quick no. hahahaha
Lmaoooo the dude was getting hungry!
He should've asked himself if he's ever seen a guy wearing denim on denim at the local sushi spot before asking that one because the answer is obviously no.
The dude was about to treat Jay to a 4-figure sushi miracle and Jay wants Fatburger. David Lee Rocks.
Not random at all. I think the owner also has a highly rated sushi restaurant, where they fly in the finest fish from all over the world the day they're caught.
That was quite a treat! Thank you Jay and especially David.
Thank you for sharing, I was 16 driving on the interstate with my mom all at once this exact car blew by us in my new corvette. It was true love first sight, this is and always favorite car. again thank you so much !
A small block 302 ci is about 5 liters
Code3Paris
Jay Leno is awesome but.he's not exactly a mathematical prodigy
A liter is 61 cubic inches. So a 3.3 is 201 cubic inches.
I think he meant more the actual size of the motor, not the liters
Code3Paris he is talking about outside dimension
george felise he is talking about the outside direction. If you sat the engine side by side.
Jay does a Ferrari? Finally
I thought Adam's was a Lusso no? And they run out of gas. LOL
He's done Ferrari's before...
From the audio of this vid, I think jay did do the Ferrari.
That's the immediate thought I had when I saw this new vid too! He has done Ferraris before though, I guess it's more that he doesn't own any, which I've always found odd...he's got everything else.
+JCW80 As a true story goes. Back when Jay's celebrity status was not as big, he went to buy a top of the line Ferrari at a local dealer. They turned him away because he needed to already owned another Ferrari and/or had to be invited by Ferrari. Since then, he vowed not to own a Ferrari. Good for Jay and hopefully Ferrari will make it up their mistake one day.
One Datsun executive to another: "I've got a great idea. Let's slightly uglify a Ferrari 275 GTB4. We'll call it the 240Z."
The 275 GTB4 certainly belongs in any Top 5 Most Beautiful Ferraris list.
the 240z was beautiful too.
Seeing that car in traffic is amazing! Thanks David & Jay for producing so many great reviews
This my favorite vehicle of all time. I'd say this is the beautiful car ever created. It's a work of art.
This is the Ferrari that I used to drool about ,...oh those many years ago.
How beautiful! What lines and curves! They remind me of ,......... oh never mind. Well, her name is Linda .
I envy both of you guys. Like Jay, I grew up in the 60 - 70s reading road and track and dreaming about these Ferrari's. Too bad i'll go to my grave before driving, let alone owning one of these - but dreaming is almost as good. Thanks for the vid.
Anyone else here that loud breathing in the background
I think it was work going on in the background. Just sounded like breathing.
Yeah I have no idea
sounds like someone working a panel with an english wheel at one part, and definitely someone hitting metal with a hammer, (1,2,3,4, pause, 1,2,3,4, pause
)
"hear" I don't know what are you using to watch this video, but that sounds NOTHING like breathing.
+awdturbo4 for about 10 seconds at the beginning of the noise it sounds like heavy breathing (sounds like, I didn't think it was breathing). Granted, I'm listening on an old iPhone at max volume.
can't get enough of you looking at these good old cars. forget about the newer cars keep making videos of the older cars.
I enjoyed the way David Lee talked about his father, it reminded me of how my dad was with me and my obsession with cars.
as much that car is worth I would have been nervous driving it on a public Street. LOL
quick Google search: one sold March 8th 2016, 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB/4 10803 - sold for $3,877,500 From the Peter Klutt Legendary Motorcar Collection. .
Omigod, it's hilarious!
Yea id be too nervous lol
a kitcar would be really fun tho, maybe with *just* a decent v8
***** You're right cars were meant to drive however there comes a point when it's worth too valuable. This already was built in the 60s. If it gets destroyed you can't just go back to the sixties and get another one. That era is done and over with. I do agree with the kit car point. It would be a lot more fun to build a kit car because then you could drive it as much as you want and not have to worry about a three-million-dollar liability
3.3 liters equals approx. 201 cubic inches. Impressive HP for that size!
From that time period it really is. American performance cars back in the day are satisfied enough to have 1 HP for every cubic inch of the engine
Hey - it's a Ferrari... :-) Regarding the power-output Il Commendatore might have said: "Normale."
Yeah, I was a little disappointed to hear Jay say that was "like a 302 small block V8". Jay, dude, 5-liter, 302, Z-28, that's *why* Chevy put a 302 in the Z28 ...
Also, headrests weren't in US cars in '67 either - that was '69.

I still think Doug Demuro looks like Jay Leno's son, lol.
Plot twist - in an alternate reality Doug is actually jays DAD! lol
L
Always thought DeMuro looked more like one of Jay's hemorrhoids!
Doug's dad said "honey don't flush it,it's got eyes!"
Doug doesn't hold a candle to a real car guy like Jay! Poser!
Looks just as beautiful as my 250... Love cars of that era. Nothing like it anymore...
What a beautiful car...wauw. Thx you David Lee for letting Jay have a look at it.
"Hey, Jay... Do you like sushi?"
dafuq??
Hahaha. That came out of nowhere. Jay: "No." lol. awkward
Lunch. Do you know what that is?
Either he wanted lunch or he was gonna plug his sushi restaurant
He owns a sushi restaurant in LA
I didn't hear him asking for lunch tho. @18:22 he just said, "do you like sushi?" ...in the middle of freakin' car review. in which, the host seemingly shot the question down.
He's wearing a Richard Mille watch. It's a few hundred thousand dollars....
he owns a number of large jewelry stores
He owns HWL Jewelers I believe
It looks like the 055 model and would run about $125k-$150k
I've seen a couple nice watches on Jay's wrist, but not lately. He should at least have a Monaco and a Daytona.
+Mr. Umbreon Yup. And he hosts a car meet there every third Saturday of the month.
This is a really beautiful Ferrari, but still my favorite is 250 GTO
Yes, the GTO is good. I find the 250 GT swb more classy, and the 250 GT Lusso is oh so elegant.
I was stationed in Germany while in the Army back in the mid sixties. An Army chaplain from my hometown was stationed near me. In 1966 a fellow, also from my hometown, had been studying for the priesthood in Rome and was being ordained. The chaplain wanted to attend the ordination at St. Peter's basilica and asked if I wanted to go as well. I said sure and we flew to Rome. One afternoon while the chaplain was taking a nap, I wandered around Rome near the Vatican and came across a silver Ferrari GTB parked on a street. The photo I took of that car is one of my most treasured car photos. I have had a lot of nice cars since then but never had the coin to buy a GTB. Like Jay, the GTB has always been one of my dream cars.
David and Jay have a great vibe together. This is my fave Ferrari. Dreamy...
Im shocked to see Jay this passionate about the car. I thought he didn't like ferrari's
he likes old ones
I was hoping for a comment on the styling similarities with the Vette
What similarities? This has a much longer hood, shorter rear deck, better proportions top to bottom, and is altogether sexier.
Ikr 4 wheels, an interior and an engine too similar
Don't forget headlights!
The overall shape, the rear decklid built-in spoiler,......
srercrcr The corvette looks like a space ship or a shark (C2/C3), where this looks like a lovely lady on her side. Not nearly the same.
Hey Jay, you like Sushi?(18:24) I'm just basic...
I wanted to know where that question was going to lead to. He had to have a reason to ask that. It's an odd question for a car show.
+frankienphil9261978 Probably trying to plug in a bit about the sushi restaurant he own in Rowland Heights. They have good quality stuff there.
+dcharizard91 He was limited to only one shout out, the watch business, haha.
+frankienphil9261978 his sushi restaurant
that WAS the plug. See? it worked
I had a student job at TAK motors in Johannesburg South Africa as a workshop receptionist. TAK were the agents for Lancia and Ferrari and I made a point of being available whenever a Ferrari would go out for a post service test drive. The first GT275 arrived in around 1966 for Advocate Coetzee, a prominent barrister. Car was white oddly enough, and I remember it to be simply breathtakingly beautiful, Today some 55 years later it still has the same affect.
Always enjoy when David Lee is there with Jay.......if David was there he could make Yugo interesting and have some laughs......love the guy!
Gorgeous car. Almost too beautiful to drive, except on back roads. Life is good; just ask Jay.
The guy has a $50M+ car collection and did it by selling Chinese watches and jewelry in California. Pretty incredible.
he doesn't sell chinese watches, he sells rolex (among other prestigious watch brands) and Cartier (probably the most famous jewelry in the world)
you guys dont know how he "acquired", not make his money
You don't know much about Chinese watches. No one earns enough to buy a Ferrari by selling $20 Chinese watches.
Hahaha... Jay... What are you talking about? In what universe does 3.3 Litres equal 302 Cubic Inches?
302 is 5 liter, just a liter and a half off is all :(
mcgaugh57 If you want to get technical, it's actually 4.9 Liters.
aint the first time I've noticed Jay make a mistake like this. A few years ago he would've never said something like this, especially because of the 302 mustang. Working with a lot of patient with Alzheimer's I unfortunately see similar mistakes with them.
Alexander Senna It's sad but a reality of old age.
don't over react....
A most astonishingly beautiful car. The proportions, the curves at every angle are perfect.
love the line about adjusting the clock - pushing air-con button with sear belt on! Classic Jay.
You should have went for sushi with him! He would have taken you somewhere good 😝
They guy has a nice Richard Mille
Does anyone hear an odd breathing sound in this video?
Yeah
Dam David Lee is living the dream!! Always great to see him at you Garage Jay👍
What a outstanding piece of Ferrari history. Simply beautiful, and that SOUND!
