Love Jay Leno, real car guy."It's a car, I drive it." Exactly. If you can't afford to drive it don't buy it. Tired of the investors buying cars and locking them away. Jay is not one of them.
I know! People buying Ferrari Enzos or LaFerraris with the intentions of never driving them is the worst! It’s a LaFerrari! It was made to be driven at high speeds!
@Jake DoesntLikeU My grandfather owns a 70s nova SS. Has never driven it. he bought it as a pile of rust and restored it to all original. Now i get him not wanting to drive it in the town he lives in. People don't know how to drive there. But for years we've all been telling him he should drive it, take a road trip with it after all the work he did on it.
I'd prefer a white '70 Challenger like Kowalski drove in "Vanishing Point". Having no resources to accomplish that, I bought myself a 2013 Chally R/T 5.7L/6 speed/3.73 limited slip as a retirement present. Fun to drive, plenty of power, shades of yesteryear.
discostoo: Exactly what I thought as well. If you were only allowed one "Jay Leno's Garage" video (of American cars)to watch with your grandson(s),I think this would be it.
Jay is an American Icon. He’s already made his place in history books. Nothing like a gear head who’s career benefits were spent in this way. This dude entertained us with his humor and this is how he gives back. What a real American! Got to be the most unselfish man on the earth at this time. Thanks Jay Leno
The "Ford options story" puts me in mind of a friend who's mother let him do the options page on the '66 Nova Wagon that she purchased brand new. He checked off every "HO" (I'm pretty sure the motor was a 327 HO, basically a 'Vette powerplant) and rear-end/suspension upgrade option lol. Had a sleeper/tire broiler when it arrived. One day he was cutting donuts in the parking lot of the local burger drive-in while all his friends watched, and his Mom walked up (while he was going 'round mind you!), jerked the door open and snatched the keys! From then on, whenever he and his buds were getting up to stuff that was "questionable" and they wanted to get a rise out of him, they'd say "Hey man, here comes your Mother!", which never failed to make him look around to see if she really was! True story. Rest easy MagicBird...
@@Shinkajo How small-minded and 'woke' do you have to be to make an assumption like that which leads you to post such an inane and boorish question about a funny story comment on a RUclips post?
@@johngerson7335 Woke? Huh, what? I'm saying that I couldn't imagine me or anyone I knew growing up who could pick the options on their parents new car. "Here's the list Johhny, have fun!". Seems like an out of touch or irresponsible thing to do. It's like, I have so much money that I don't care if my kid blows thousands of dollars on options that I don't even need.
Cars are cool. Jay is cool. But hearing the stories of Jay sneaking one past is father when ordering a new car is even more cool! Jay, I hope you're around for a long, long time preserving and sharing car culture for us all!
".... a few weeks later I found a ticket on my dad's dresser. He got stopped for going 110 and I knew then he really enjoyed the car...."(paraphrased) Indeed. The full story is even more entertaining!
We we're 15 when we used to Joyride my friends dads 1965 Buick Wildcat with a 455 while he was sleeping Steve used to sneak in his dads bedroom and steal the keys push the car down the block before we'd start it then do burnouts I told his dad that story on his 72nd birthday party I thought he was going to die I laugh my ass off I guess I was the only one that thought it was funny lolz
It warms my heart to hear his "Father and muscle car" story. I think (Me included) if you grew up in the 70s-80s your 30 something dad at one point had an old car that was in the V8 muscle range and you remember fond trips in it and you absorbed the energy both it and your father was sharing with you. It saddens me to know, that that type of childhood memory is going away now and our kids of today won't know that feeling of driving with your dad in a car that made you feel tiny yet strong at the same time. Miss my dad and that car.
If I remember right, Jay told the tricking his father story on the Tonight Show years ago. What he told on the show that was not in this video was, one day Jay was looking for something in one of his father's drawers and came across a speeding ticket his father had gotten in the car, for going 120 mph. Jay's knowledge of all his vehicles and motorcycles is amazing.
I never get enough not only of looking at Jay's car's, but just as much, listening to him talk about them. Which is just as exciting to me if not more. Thanks for sharing. John
Back in 1975 my first car was a 72 Chevy Malibu with a 350. Everyone at school had a muscle car back in those days and bragging rights was everything. What a great era. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
I really like your comment about not using large diameter wheels and tyres...so many beautiful old cars are spoiled by putting those large wheels when they do nothing for the looks of the car...
Jay Leno is a true gear head, he is passionate about every car & motorcycle he owns. He builds exactly what he wants and he has a great crew of craftsman that work on all of his cars & bikes as full time employees, I have seen him frequently have others builders cars on his lift doing repairs, I distinctly remember the Ring Brothers wide body mustang, a customer's car on its maiden voyage have a rear coil spring issue that they fixed.
WHY THE HELL WOULD I ORDER THE MUFFLER DELETE PACKAGE?! Because you ordered the police pursuit package. Now thats funny, i wish i could just order something like that now
onenikkione you must live somewhere besides california.....any decent gas station is at least 3 bucks for regular....muscle car going to need premium....a full tank of gas going to be 60-70 bucks twice a week
You got that right and when you live more than 30 minutes from work you're likely to get stuck in traffic on the freeway and whether you are moving or not that gas is guzzling. I know! lolol. I hate that aspect but I would not sit in traffic with nothing other than my ride.
@Mark Rylander I get what you’re saying but American Muscle is back in a big way and they’re going all out. The new Dodge Challenger Hellcat has 797 horsepower. It will be a highly sought after collectors piece in the future, just the way American Muscle is supposed to be.
My biggest regret of all my cars was selling my 1970 440 6 pak challenger convertible for 8 grand in 1982. The car had a shaker hood, 4 speed and a dana rear end. The hood alone goes for more than 8 grand today.
Jay, your my biggest hero. I have a huge passion for cars. Unfortunately i been so broke and homeless for a few years. I hope one day i can get a couple hotrods and maybe build my 3 kids a car when they grow up.
so true what he says at 3:00 about the future of classic musclecars, I see it all the time here with all the cars meeting and cruising just in weekends and drove by only true enthusiasts. Long live Jay!!
Jay your my HERO...I LOVE your passion and desire to not only save but to restore and make your own VERY personal collection. My only prayer is to one day be able to afford to come and see all of what you have done. It blows my mind. Thank you for not only doing this but to put it where we all can see and dream and go back to those days when we drove hard and LOVED every second of it . You truly inspire me !!!! Again THANK YOU from the bottom to the top of my heart !!! God bless !!!
When I was a junior in high school, I loved the Olds Toronado when it first came out. I used to draw it all the time. All my notes, from when I was supposed to be taking notes in class, were covered in doodles of the car. Instead of listening to the teacher, I'd be concentrating on the Toronado sketches. That's probably why I got "C"s in those classes, and I blame the car for that. Jay's Toronado is the car I would have wanted. Same color. Those upgrades he's made are astounding. REAR WHEEL DRIVE!! That's nuts!
Jay Lenos channel is probably my favorite RUclips channel. His knowledge of cars is amazing. You can tell that he is really in his element when he is in his "garage". But the story about tricking his dad with the Galaxie is classic.
I grew up loving all the old muscle cars from the late 60s and early 70s. Now as I get older I am just falling in love with the car styles from the 30s, 40s and 50s. Just absolute CLASS.
If I didn't know any better, I would have thought this was another episode of Jay Leno's Garage. Great video! How can one not like Jay? He seems so likable and approachable. Best of all, he's one of the few gearheads who actually drives many of his prized possessions. Thanks for the video, Drive! Thumbs up and subscribed.
Very enjoyable. Personal tour from Jay Leno!!. Great video of his cars. In 1973 I met Bill Harah in person and had a tour of his personal garage he had at his slt home. Then he had his large public collection in Sparks Nevada. Does anyone remember him? I think had a fantastic collection of cars. Also boats because he lived at south lake Tahoe.
Totally, I was thinking Jay could have had a better time without the loser holding the Mic, I wonder what Leno thought to himself later...... Oh I know TOSSER !!
I love these shorts from Jay's garage. What I really hope is that Jay makes sure that his collection stays intact and there is some way for people have access to this slice of history on into the future. Please don't let what happened to Harrah's car collection happen to what you have done Jay. Keep it up Jay. You are really appreciated !
Another Evans blunder, he should have been right on Jay about that, That's is super cool having your name on the Valve Covers and a plaque to back it all, no story there Evans, This guy needs a paper route, maybe he can find a story in one of the papers he's tossing on a porch, speaking of TOSSER !!
When i sold Fords in 1966,we had one of the 7 Liter's in maroon on our showroom.Also had one of the Cobra's there-one of the cars driven by our top seller was a GT 350.Those days are long gone!
The Ford Galaxy is an amazing car. My older brother had A white Ford Galaxy just like that back in the 70's. It was a fast amazing car. My brother loved it. Cool video thumb's up.
I love you Jay & everything you stand up for! Classic muscle deserves a voice and you represent it well. Nothing compares to your steam collection, but your 20th century muscle car collection is impressive without question. I love what you bring to the modern muscle car collective.
That 70 hemi challenger back in day was the best,like today modern srt hellcat demon is out of this world. Like leno said that modern srt would eat that old rt live, in my book old stuff are the best.
Jay said the 440 was a better street engine than the Hemi, which is true. But I speak from many years of experience when I tell you that the BEST Challenger/ Cuda engine was the 340. Far more powerful than what Mopar said, much lighter in the front end for superior handling. Best muscle car from the muscle car era, IMHO.
I love the attention to detail, especially in the Toronado. All the way down to custom stock looking wheels, with their funky offset and a custom tank modification to keep the radio antenna in its original place. Perfect...
Vintage snowmobiles are huge in Canada and northern U.S. ... very similar to muscle cars...There's a sense of nostalgia..plus late 60's early 70's was the golden age in snowmobiles.
My first car was a '66 coronet. But it was a lowly 440 trim with the poly head A-series 318 (two bolt valve covers). That 727 was a bomb proof auto. Supposedly the FBI ordered several Coronet 440 four-doors like mine with the Hemi in them and the same off-white color my car was. I paid $200 for that car, and it was in great shape in the interior-- still new carpet fuzz on the back. 68K original miles in 1990.
If it cost anything less than my left nut please sign me up. I promise not to touch anything and Mr Leno wouldn't even have to be there. Just let me wander around and drool.
One of the aesthetically pleasing outcomes of the '70 Challenger was the exterior front fascia. The designer did a beautiful job in filling the front cavity that was sandwiched between the bumper and slightly overhanging hood. The result was a purposeful and slightly mysterious appearance.
I'd would have loved to hear stories about Jay growing up from his dad's point of view. I can hear it now "I remember the time he tricked me into getting a car without a muffler. I thought he'd grow up to be a mechanic and after he got that comedy stuff out of the way he did become a mechanic. "
Holy crap. I have to save for months to get injectors for my old 6.5 diesel. Must be a hell of a thing to do whatever you want and not worry about the price. Some drop dead beautiful cars.
the best carguy story i have ever heard in my life is Jay tricking his father to get the muffler delete in the galaxie. Seriously its pricelss
Not to mention the police pursuit package! lol
I bet he grew to love those options after he hit a few potholes lol. "Cop suspension, cop brakes, cop shocks! What, you don't like it?"
TwisTed Taipan owning cop cars is the best!
Cool rides
pretty sure that story is BS

@@DevinEMILE Drive it, it's a car!
Jay's been a big car person since the 50s when he was little.
Yep, I'd still take that orange 70s Challenger over a new hellcat.
Oh course, I can get hellcats ALL day long!
Orange challenger, once in a lifetime, “Maybe”.
I'd prefer a white '70 Challenger like Kowalski drove in "Vanishing Point". Having no resources to accomplish that, I bought myself a 2013 Chally R/T 5.7L/6 speed/3.73 limited slip as a retirement present. Fun to drive, plenty of power, shades of yesteryear.
Personally I'd rather have an ss comaro but if I had to choose I'd take the Challenger
@Dave Wesley the hellcat is such a better car i have both i'm 56
Me too. The old challenger is plenty fast and is worth more $$$ than the hellcat.
Only issue I have with this video is that it wasn't 3 hours long.
I agree . I beleave Jay is about as real a person as it gets. Not many like him these days.
What I LOVE is he DRIVES ALL OF THEM!!!
I prefer 10-15 minutes. I got shit to do lol.

I like it too, I'd avoid flooring it in those restomods though just to ensure you're getting power to the floor
Jay IS AWESOME! His stories are so wonderfully told.
The Roadmaster will be the most valuable in his collection.
Leno is love. Leno is life
Nothing like the styling of the Olds Toronado!! What a total sleeper that beast is.
jay loves his sleepers...
That huge 1,000+-hp RWD 1966 Oldsmobile Toronado is the ultimate sleeper.
Jay Leno absolutely one of the best car guys around he's a straight-up his collection of cars second to none.
Invincible Extremes Muscle Cars Garage - I love Jays sleepers.
Man, how can you not? Absolute beauts!
I felt an internal swell of joy at 0:17. It's nice to know that all those old Broughs and other bikes are alive and well-attended.
Yes. True!
That challenger is my dream car, i didn't knew jay had one so perfect.
I love how Jay had all these gorgeous, classic cars with 572 big blocks and twin turbos, he’s a true car guy at heart and it shows with his engines.
My favorite would be the Roadmaster. Such a classic.
Imagine getting owned by that in your Mercedes Benz AMG
Thank you, Jay Leno, for preserving these fantastic automobiles.
So awesome! Thank you Jay Leno for helping keep the past Autos alive.

the 70 Challenger is defiantly one my favorite classic muscle car!
Timothy Chan it's such a beauty
+AZ -1 always preferred the '71-'72 hemi Cuda
Haha, I always preferred the grille of the 71 Cuda; which shares the same platform as the challenger!
I managed to get a nice 70 Challenger back in 1988 for $1,000. Even back then it was a good price.
My biggest regret of all my cars was selling my 1970 440 6 pak challenger convertible for 8 grand in 1982. The car had a shaker hood, 4 speed and a dana rear end. The hood alone goes for more than 8 grand today.

Pretty cool. Jay Leno is such a likeable person.
Old is class.
you know he's a car guy when GM puts your name on a motor, thats awesome!
Jay Leno is an American treasure. Like the real life version of a Chuck Norris joke.
That Navy Blue Metallic WS6 behind the Toronado is gorgeous!
sexiest Firebird ever!
PANTYEATR1 Lol, its nice, but my fav is the old smokey and the bandit style, 77 I think.
It's only gorgeous if you favor low budget cars
I could listen to Jay talk about cars and share his stories for hours. Such a cool guy.
"I live in a hilly area"
and here I am 2000 ft from sea level and driving a 1.2 litre 80hp car lol

About the same power to weight ratio as my 2CV. :D

jay is the man, i could spend weeks with him going through cars
Best line, re the Toronado, "I don't give it the valet or anything like that"!
Jay is a crazy, crazy man. In the best way possible.
Rear Wheel Drive Toronado is the way to go.
If there’s a heaven it is in Jay Leno’s garage ❤️
I love how modest he is about have a factory engine built and named after him...
I don't know no one that has a car collection better than Jay Leno only reason I say that because he has something of everything
Is this an interview or Jay showing around some random dude he found off the street?
lmao
some dudebro they found at a local frat house
I wish it had been me cause I need his Pit Crew to hit my Camaro 😆
I would much rather hear Leno talk about his stuff than some douche interrupting him the entire time. He did a good job.

I don't know about you but I just watched another episode of Jay Leno's Garage. This guy was more of a guest than host.
Technically he was a guest.
Made the episode more enjoyable
Totally, I was thinking Jay could have had a better time without the loser holding the Mic, I wonder what Leno thought to himself later...... Oh I know TOSSER !!
Jay Leno is not going to let anyone take charge, let alone in his garage. He couldn't even let Conan take charge of the Tonight Show.
Jay Leno is such a cool guy, he’s so chilled out and he’s a car guy, what more could you ask for
Love jay leno. A true car guy
I've heard Jay tell the story about the Galaxie 7 litre a hundred times and never get tired of it. Cool car also. Love his Buick Roadmaster too.
Jay, such a car guy....that Tornado is sick !!!
Jay Leno is a big influence and role model of mine. Love you Mr Leno

Damn... He has his first car. Inspiring
The Ford Galaxy is an amazing car. My older brother had A white Ford Galaxy just like that back in the 70's. It was a fast amazing car. My brother loved it. Cool video thumb's up.
that black Viper R/T-10 behind the Galaxy is sexy as hell.
Classic! Love this story little Jay got the sports package for his dad's car .

CHALLENGER!! 1970 OR 2008 SRT, ARE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL MUSCLE CARS ON THE PLANET👌👌👌🤔😘😘😘😘😘😘👌👌👌👌👌👌😘😘😘😘😘👌👌👌👌😘😘😘😘👌👌👌👌😘😘😘.
.....unfortunately!! Latest model of the challenger are not as good looking as the 1970 and 2008 models!!.
1970 is true American muscle and like he said, you got to be a true enthusiast to own that car
Hellcat beats the '70 Hemi every way possible, but I'll take the original Challenger - old school still wins!
Jay said the 440 was a better street engine than the Hemi, which is true. But I speak from many years of experience when I tell you that the BEST Challenger/ Cuda engine was the 340. Far more powerful than what Mopar said, much lighter in the front end for superior handling. Best muscle car from the muscle car era, IMHO.
I love the attention to detail, especially in the Toronado. All the way down to custom stock looking wheels, with their funky offset and a custom tank modification to keep the radio antenna in its original place. Perfect...
besides the lukewarm host I enjoyed seeing jays muscle car's.
yer, whatever floats ye boats.
I'm sure he was just nervous 👍
If an ideal clicks with Jay, he takes it to an elite and respecful level of compeleness.
Some great cars. The want with that old Buick is particularly strong.......
Great show thanks. Love Jay and classic American muscle cars. Jay is still excited by these cars 🇬🇧
He must be the uncle that has all those epic storis for Christmas! True passionate of car!
Vintage snowmobiles are huge in Canada and northern U.S. ... very similar to muscle cars...There's a sense of nostalgia..plus late 60's early 70's was the golden age in snowmobiles.
I never knew cars could be so interesting until I started watching Jay Leno's Garage.
Since he had no children, he developed a hobby, vehicles (Cars, trucks, tractors, etcetera).
OnlyTheEd no kids? Wow didn't know that
The Toronado and Galaxie are my favs from this video, but that Buick is the ultimate sleeper.
The ultimate testament to a true car buff:
A giant crate engine named after you - 572 Leno -
My first car was a '66 coronet. But it was a lowly 440 trim with the poly head A-series 318 (two bolt valve covers). That 727 was a bomb proof auto. Supposedly the FBI ordered several Coronet 440 four-doors like mine with the Hemi in them and the same off-white color my car was.
I paid $200 for that car, and it was in great shape in the interior-- still new carpet fuzz on the back. 68K original miles in 1990.
Jays living the dream
Anything with an original Hemi is worth big bucks
Surprised a 70 Chevelle SS 454 wasn't amongst one of them....especially the rare LS6. That car was gorgeous and absolute beast!
who'd like to have a tour around jay's garage?
If it cost anything less than my left nut please sign me up. I promise not to touch anything and Mr Leno wouldn't even have to be there. Just let me wander around and drool.
The Dodge Cornet is gorgeous!
Early 70's Challengers actually handled pretty good.
Jay Leno’s auto collection should be saved/preserved for posterity…it just that valuable and will never be duplicated like Jay’s humor 👏👏
Amazing! Kudo's to Jay for doing things right!
One of the aesthetically pleasing outcomes of the '70 Challenger was the exterior front fascia. The designer did a beautiful job in filling the front cavity that was sandwiched between the bumper and slightly overhanging hood. The result was a purposeful and slightly mysterious appearance.
I'd would have loved to hear stories about Jay growing up from his dad's point of view. I can hear it now "I remember the time he tricked me into getting a car without a muffler. I thought he'd grow up to be a mechanic and after he got that comedy stuff out of the way he did become a mechanic. "
Brat Meister he passed
Brat Meister read his bio...funny stories of him growing up.
Holy crap. I have to save for months to get injectors for my old 6.5 diesel. Must be a hell of a thing to do whatever you want and not worry about the price. Some drop dead beautiful cars.
