What is it with people complaining about almost every guest on the show? You complain when someone doesn't talk enough, or talks too much, or says a phrase too frequently, or isn't cheery enough for your liking, or doesn't know every detail about their car, or make a mistake, or sweats too much. Good grief you don't have to put every negative thought you have into words guys. /rant 😁
Everyone thinks it's their job to point out anything negative they can find, they do it all over youtube, Jays channel usually isn't as bad as most, most people treat each other with respect. No one cares how what they say may effect the people they are talking about.
You forgot to add... and people who criticize comments that make sense and point out the gutless batards who hide behind the anonymity of social media. Those who otherwise would never have a voice because their lives are meaningless.
The best part is Thom and Jay are both laughing about this car. You could tell Jay was having fun. He enjoyed the engineering aspect of the car and liked that it wasn’t just a car in a CGI movie.

I just commented above about the 3- 67's I owned. I remember as a kid, the 1st "GTO" was actually a '64 tempest with a GTO option package. Then the '65, ok. The '66, ok. But the '67, I loved it on first sight and knew I'd own one someday. The '66 body style laid the groundwork for the steller styling refinements of the '67. I almost bought a '67 Tyrol Blue hardtop/Parchment top/interior 4 speed, fully factory loaded and restored back in 2012. But at the time, 36,500 was a lot to shell out when I'd likely drive it once a month, and never in the rain. But we can still dream.
Just noticed that '67 was probably the Golden year for American cars. Icons from all three of the big manufacturers. '67 Mustang '67 Charger '67 GTO '67 Camaro '67 Firebird All desirable and collectable..
First-generation Chargers ('66 and '67) aren't iconic at all, plus they are ugly and they were low-effort from Dodge (essentially a Coronet with a hastily added fastback). Second-generation Chargers ('68 to '70) are the only iconic ones in the entire history of the model line. '68 was the best year in my opinion. The newly styled Mopars (e.g., Charger, Road Runner, Super Bee) looked awesome, especially the Charger, and so did the C3 Corvette. Also, it was the year of the "Bullitt" Mustang (and Bullitt Charger, of course). On top of that it was the first year of the most iconic Chevelle body style, and the first year of the Torino.
I am in complete awe at what I am watching. Can you imagine knowing this much about a movie with a 5.9 IMDB? Don't get me wrong, I loved the movie, but this dude watched it 3x in theaters simply because it had a '67 GTO in it? Hope he didn't get too much nut on the seat in front of him! Pontiac podcasts, Pontiac this, Pontiac that, This has definitely progressed from a "hobby" to an "obsession." I see meetings in a church basement in this guy's not-too-distant future.. Anyway, love the car, and his obsession with it!

@@jamespennington9719 Yep. There is no point. Every detail is worthy of hearing. My friend has a stock 67 GTO and every second with that thing is precious.
Referring to the 6 cylinder comments here and some other episodes too, what Jay doesn't understand is that many of us love the sound of an 8 cylinder, straight 8 , flat head v, or modern v sound better than music to our ears. When I have a cammed up 8, no radio will be used unless I'm parked.
Yeah, exactly what I was thinking. Cool it's a gto, but eh beyond that. I feel bad for the GTO that was sacrificed to make this abomination. Side note, I love the clips, or call it love to hate the clips where Jay is basically forced to listen to someone long wind on some car, and basically all we hear from Jay is, yeah, ok, oh, look at this. I so enjoy the videos where Jay is actually interested in the car. I kinda dry heaved a bit when he compared this to the James Bond Aston Martin.
I hear you guys, but.... Give the guy a break, everyone has there 15 (more like 45 here) minutes of fame, but I think we can all actually learn something here. Especially patience and perseverance. Either way, he's a car guy, and that's alright with me.
"They need more Pontiacs for that 5 lug review" 😂 Jay, to this day your still my favorite celebrity " really cool how you can just joke and ask questions and be down to earth 🌎 with us. Love ya Jay! 🤙
The spy car being a GTO was the reason I went to see that movie. I've owned a 70 GTO and 77 Formula an 81 Trans Am and now an 86 Trans Am. I am a Pontiac man forever.
Love the guys passion about the car. Car itself looks gorgeous, and it is awesome that it actually functions as stunt car. This is what happens when your movie car guy.

I love DeBoss! That GTO they built is about exactly how I would want it, personalized but easily returned to stock, and building the engine in the hotel room while on power tour was epic.
I am DEFINITELY a "Pontiac Guy". Pop had a '66 GP. 389/4bbl. We had a '63 Catalina 389/2bbl and a '72 Catalina. 400/2bbl. Drove my '99 GTP today after a new Optima red top install (only 70,000 miles on it) and my daily is the '05 GP GT2 I inherited from Pop when he passed at 93 in 2015. IT has 27,000 miles on it! Pissed me off to no end when GM killed Pontiac!
I love this video. The car is wonderful, the owner's monomania for Pontiacs is hilarious and yet weirdly admirable, and Jay does a great job of working with him. And the sound is fantastic -- how did they get the mikes to pick up their voices so clearly in that open topped car?
...BTW in 1964 under Bill Mitchell and Chuck Brown (head of Pontiac since 1958) John Delorean designed the Pontiac Banshee XP-833, it would become the basis shape of the up and coming C3 Corvette. The Banshee was suppose to be equipped with a range of Pontiac V8's (from 326 to 421). Only two prototypes were ever built, one hardtop and one convertible. The hardtop had a motor similar to the one Jay said he was restoring in his Sprint (but the original 230 cubic inch motor only produced 165 hp), it's in a private collection called Napoli Indoor Auto in Milford CT. The convertible had a V8, a 421 H.O. that in this prototype convertible was 500+ lbs lighter than a big block C2, it's currently in the Joe Bortz collection along with some other very rare cars. Two unique features on the convertible were a retractable roof (into the trunk) and the horizontal taillight slits that would show up eventually on second generation Firebird.
toot tall They do work, he said so, they just aren't filled. Fill the bottles for the rocket ejectors, and the tank for the flamethrower, then load a couple of rockets and open the valves up and you're GtG
@@noth606 where ya gonna get the rockets with high explosives tho? He should make a top for it..one he can let blow off, just like in the movie... made of balsa wood or something. The fact it was made from a hard top is actually correct since in the movie the car started as a hard top. I owned the Le Mans version many eons ago, tell you what that was one hard car to kill, even if you were trying.
I'm also a Pontiac guy. Both "good old" and more. My first was a 1948 Pontiac Silver Streak flat head 6 with a 4 speed hydromatic transmission. Unusual because it was not the torpedo body, but it was with vacuum operated wipers both front and rear. No fender skirts, but with a sunshield. Rescued from a farmyard in 1958. I beefed up the rear suspension using shocks with external adjustable springs. I found a paper air cleaner element that exactly replaced the original oil bath element. Unfortunately I drove it to death because it was so much fun to drive. In 1964 I changed over to a corvair spyder and moved on to whatever looked best from then on. Married in 1964, started a family in 1974 and then only bought cars for utility. Now I'm 77 and disabled. But the memories are great. Wish I had more photos of my earlier cars to share…
Just had dinner with Thom the car’s owner tonight and he told me about this clip and I couldn’t wait to see it. What a wonderful showcase for one of his cars and to share his passion. Congrats, my friend!
Jay, "Hunt for Red October", Soviet Sub,Travels the Penobscot River in Maine. During WW2, many Subs were made in the Great Lakes Ship Yards and traveled down The Mississippi.
A 66 GTO, black on black, crushed velvet interior with pockets sewn n for the perfume bottles. Red lights at bottom of rear shocks. Ive never forgotten. Jay, Jay, Jay.
@@TheTerrapinchris, I think I'd rather have machine guns in the front, and an oil dispenser and smoke screen in the rear. ( You know, for when the cops start after ya? )
I remember that flick. There is one hell of a difference between CGI and an actual stunt car. You could tell that headlights really were firing "rockets" and the roof really caught some air.
This guy redefines passion..I totally enjoyed all 40 minutes plus..I wish jay had asked him if he’s married & what’s his wife like..probably wouldn’t let him name the kids..
@@fatman1288 The owner put a lot of hard work and money into this car, he should be proud, plus he got to meet Jay Leno and got to go for a ride with him, his bucket list is full!
I wonder if this car has a monte carlo bar. Or if jay was sold the original viper being told that he'll never see anything more than 400hp again. Or if he likes wildwood brakes.
One of Jay's more interesting shows. He really seemed to enjoy himself. Probably because his guest, like many have noted, was quite knowledgeable and had an easygoing manner.
I was 17 and I was with my father . We went to look at a 1966 GTO 421 3 x 2 bbl mechanical switch . It had a Hurst dual with a 3000 rpm high stall converter . It was a beautiful yellow . The guy wanted $6500.00 and I had $7000.00. It was beautiful . It was from Arizona and had never seen a winter. This was 1980. These cars were still around in factory trim. My Father said no once we rode in it. To fast for me at the time. What a beauty ! I kick myself for not getting it when I had the chance.
My 1989 Harley soft tail custom was painted that color in ‘99. The first time I saw it was on Jeff Gordon’s car in May1998 at the night race in Charlotte N.C. The NASCAR Winston all star race. Back then it was “state of the art”. Nothing compared to paints of today though. Still in all a very beautiful paint job. Brings me back to better times. That’s Jay❤️
I had a choice between a 66 and a 70. I loved the 70 and got it. it was well optioned and I put a lot of money in it. Then I got married, then she filed for divorce and the car went bye bye
The 67' GTO is my favorite GTO. The closest I got to it was a 67' Chevelle Malibu 4 on the floor. 1967 was an excellent year for car styling. Thank you Jay!
Thom has been a Pontiac guy for a long time and, as you can tell, has a great deal of knowledge on the subject! Great guy that bleeds Pontiac Blue (engine color). As the president of the AZ Chapter of POCI, he is the one who got my wife & I involved in the Pontiac Oakland Club, International way back in 1988. He had a backyard full of Pontiacs at that time. Jay did a great job keeping the majority of viewers entertained as Thom's detail may have been too much for some.
What a great interview! I like how Thom emulates ET in tracking down the missing foam piece. I can imagine him saying over and over again, when he got back home "foam home, foam home!!
My 1st car (in 1972) was a '67 GTO hardtop in Burgundy/Black interior, Hurst dual gate automatic. 2nd was a convertible in Tyrol Blue/Parchment top/black interior, 4 speed. 3rd was also a convertible in Tyrol Blue/Parchment top & interior, 4 speed. Loved them all, & boy would I love to have even one of them today.
I saw the original cars being sold on eBay back in the day! I even checked out if it's the real deal or a replica. I love seeing these iconic film cars on the channel.

The hardtop had a motor similar to the one Jay said he was restoring in his Sprint (but the original 230 cubic inch motor only produced 165 hp), it's in a private collection called Napoli Indoor Auto in Milford CT. The convertible had a V8, a 421 H.O. that in this prototype convertible was 500+ lbs lighter than a big block C2, it's currently in the Joe Bortz collection along with some other very rare cars. Two unique features on the convertible were a retractable roof (into the trunk) and the horizontal taillight slits that would show up eventually on second generation Firebird.
Jay meets Mr. Wikipedia!
Some of us were there for that great round of car music, did not seem like a commercial at the time, just fun songs.
if you fixed it so that rockets and flame thrower work, it might make it easier to get through LA traffic! lol
toot tall They do work, he said so, they just aren't filled. Fill the bottles for the rocket ejectors, and the tank for the flamethrower, then load a couple of rockets and open the valves up and you're GtG
@@noth606 where ya gonna get the rockets with high explosives tho? He should make a top for it..one he can let blow off, just like in the movie... made of balsa wood or something. The fact it was made from a hard top is actually correct since in the movie the car started as a hard top.
I owned the Le Mans version many eons ago, tell you what that was one hard car to kill, even if you were trying.
I'm also a Pontiac guy. Both "good old" and more. My first was a 1948 Pontiac Silver Streak flat head 6 with a 4 speed hydromatic transmission. Unusual because it was not the torpedo body, but it was with vacuum operated wipers both front and rear. No fender skirts, but with a sunshield. Rescued from a farmyard in 1958. I beefed up the rear suspension using shocks with external adjustable springs. I found a paper air cleaner element that exactly replaced the original oil bath element. Unfortunately I drove it to death because it was so much fun to drive. In 1964 I changed over to a corvair spyder and moved on to whatever looked best from then on. Married in 1964, started a family in 1974 and then only bought cars for utility. Now I'm 77 and disabled. But the memories are great. Wish I had more photos of my earlier cars to share…
First guy to pull up to Jay's garage strapped!
I doubt that.
Just had dinner with Thom the car’s owner tonight and he told me about this clip and I couldn’t wait to see it. What a wonderful showcase for one of his cars and to share his passion. Congrats, my friend!
Jay, "Hunt for Red October", Soviet Sub,Travels the Penobscot River in Maine. During WW2, many Subs were made in the Great Lakes Ship Yards and traveled down
The Mississippi.
A 66 GTO, black on black, crushed velvet interior with pockets sewn n for the perfume bottles. Red lights at bottom of rear shocks. Ive never forgotten. Jay, Jay, Jay.
9:50 Where can I get some of them headlight rockets for my ‘67? ...damn river subs
Headlight Rockets "Я" Us has em.
Amazon probably has 'em.
Yah i want rocket launchers outta the freakin headlights!!!
Sure would help on the 405.
@@TheTerrapinchris, I think I'd rather have machine guns in the front, and an oil dispenser and smoke screen in the rear. ( You know, for when the cops start after ya? )
I love when Jay Leno puts his foot in it and the guy that owns the car looks at him
This guy really knew His stuff about the car. If he ever sells it I would like to buy it from Him. LOL
I remember that flick. There is one hell of a difference between CGI and an actual stunt car. You could tell that headlights really were firing "rockets" and the roof really caught some air.
GTO had the best styling of all muscle cars of the era.
No
No
I don't know about that, but I'm partial to the '69.
"65, "66, "67 only!
@@ChrisTheAspergerGuy and the car too! 😂
This guy redefines passion..I totally enjoyed all 40 minutes plus..I wish jay had asked him if he’s married & what’s his wife like..probably wouldn’t let him name the kids..
Dear Jay, Could you please invite Bruce Campbell & Sam Raimi.
With the famous Oldsmobile Delta 88!!
Thnx!
This must happen, but do we know that the Delta is still in working order?
@@jimjob28 yes.. 1 is in Museum, 1 is lost i think. And Bruce has the Original
Damn what a great idea!!! Do it Jay, the Delta 88 from Evil Dead and every other Sam Raimi flick!
Jay: I don't think you're crazy
But his facial expressions say otherwise.
One of those 5 got sold for $13,000 originally! I’ve always wanted one too!
I like this guy. Super focused on the car and knows the whole movie.
Beautiful car but, DOES THE OWNER EVER STOP TALKING? HE WORE ME OUT WITH HIS MOUTH.
hes passionate about Pontiac's and the car so what?!?!
@@fatman1288 The owner put a lot of hard work and money into this car, he should be proud, plus he got to meet Jay Leno and got to go for a ride with him, his bucket list is full!
@@kennethbredow3098 i hope that was directed towards roger lol
Thom seems to be laid back and pleasant to talk to. I think I would enjoy meeting him.
A PONTIAC FANGIRL. I DON'T SEE THE APPEAL OF VIN DIESEL, HE ACTUALLY CREEPS ME OUT.
Still a buster...
I really miss my 1967 GTO!
I wonder if this car has a monte carlo bar. Or if jay was sold the original viper being told that he'll never see anything more than 400hp again. Or if he likes wildwood brakes.
One of Jay's more interesting shows. He really seemed to enjoy himself. Probably because his guest, like many have noted, was quite knowledgeable and had an easygoing manner.
Probably my favorite GTO body style 😏👍🚘🏡
I was 17 and I was with my father . We went to look at a 1966 GTO 421 3 x 2 bbl mechanical switch . It had a Hurst dual with a 3000 rpm high stall converter . It was a beautiful yellow .
The guy wanted $6500.00 and I had $7000.00. It was beautiful . It was from Arizona and had never seen a winter. This was 1980. These cars were still around in factory trim.
My Father said no once we rode in it. To fast for me at the time. What a beauty !
I kick myself for not getting it when I had the chance.
It sounds like it has a manifold leak.....
My 1989 Harley soft tail custom was painted that color in ‘99. The first time I saw it was on Jeff Gordon’s car in May1998 at the night race in Charlotte N.C. The NASCAR Winston all star race.
Back then it was “state of the art”. Nothing compared to paints of today though. Still in all a very beautiful paint job. Brings me back to better times. That’s Jay❤️
The '66 version is the most beautiful model ever made imo :)
'65
I had a choice between a 66 and a 70. I loved the 70 and got it. it was well optioned and I put a lot of money in it. Then I got married, then she filed for divorce and the car went bye bye
@@benthallchris I hear ya'. Women....an evasive subject that will never be understood.
@@benthallchris I'm sorry you lost the car, it would have been nice to have had it longer so you could have run her over with it.
Jay knows how to get the best out of his guests.
There must have been a dead body in the trunk, as you can see the edit right after he opens it
There was likely an accident, they are hiding the body line where the trunk meets the quarter panel. It's really bad
Or a live body.
The guys face when he closes the trunk. 😂😂😂
Maybe Jay didn't want to show his autograph, just right of center near the top of the trunk lid.
That was an odd edit. Wondered if somebodies signature was't supposed to be shown....talent rights stuff
This was literally the first car I liked as a kid! Coolest thing ever
Typical GTO exhaust leak. Everyone I know has had that.
The 67' GTO is my favorite GTO. The closest I got to it was a 67' Chevelle Malibu 4 on the floor. 1967 was an excellent year for car styling. Thank you Jay!
"Long story short..."
*Yaps for 20 more minutes*
Thom has been a Pontiac guy for a long time and, as you can tell, has a great deal of knowledge on the subject! Great guy that bleeds Pontiac Blue (engine color). As the president of the AZ Chapter of POCI, he is the one who got my wife & I involved in the Pontiac Oakland Club, International way back in 1988. He had a backyard full of Pontiacs at that time. Jay did a great job keeping the majority of viewers entertained as Thom's detail may have been too much for some.
That car is more ridiculous than KITT from "Knight Rider".
Ridiculous car for a ridiculous movie with a ridiculous plot.
Finally got to see a car in person that jay hasn't. Got to see it at a la car show at the staples center when the movie came out.
Time for be.... Oh hey, new episode on Jay Lanno's Garage.
Love the GTO. When I was a kid, my uncle had a blue one. I've loved them ever since.
That ain't no ordinary GTO he go'ts der, goteem a damn rocket launcher own it.
What a great interview! I like how Thom emulates ET in tracking down the missing foam piece. I can imagine him saying over and over again, when he got back home "foam home, foam home!!
To cut a short story long...
"Who is this crazy guy"
"Yea, that's probably true" Hahahaha !
Ford had that paint in 1996, it's called mystachrome
My 1st car (in 1972) was a '67 GTO hardtop in Burgundy/Black interior, Hurst dual gate automatic. 2nd was a convertible in Tyrol Blue/Parchment top/black interior, 4 speed. 3rd was also a convertible in Tyrol Blue/Parchment top & interior, 4 speed. Loved them all, & boy would I love to have even one of them today.
That guy would talk your ear off.
I saw the original cars being sold on eBay back in the day! I even checked out if it's the real deal or a replica. I love seeing these iconic film cars on the channel.
