This is without a doubt one of the coolest cars in the history of the human kind.
And one of the coolest videos ...
Arch we had a '67 with a huge sunroof. Was great for parking out behind Denver airport to watch the planes pass over us. It was banana yellow with black detail and mud flaps. On the panels on each side it had a picture of Yosimite Sam and said "Yosemite Sam's travelin' truckin' company"
Arch you dont get out much?
And most of us who once owned a Type Ii teared up a little watching that.
Perfect for smoking weed on the beach, dude.
that was funny when he said suddenly its a lowrider when Gabriel got in
Ulysses Basulto This is how I first heard of Gabriel Iglesias.
Gabriel is a cool dude, no inappropriate language in his show, no drugs in his life and he is a great example to generations of fans.
You said no drugs...? What do you think fast food is, man?
@@ivanhoe6145 L
I appreciate this comment so much more now that I have a daughter
He was a major alcoholic, who cheated on his wife so much she left him. I love the guy but he’s mortal like the rest of us 😂
You gotta love Gabriel. Such a fun dude and always so upbeat and happy, it’s infectious.
True so true.
They should do their own show together! Because they are hilarious and can make the show even more enjoyable.
+Mr.Logic23 true
Hey your Oldsmobile Logo is upside down. You might want to have that looked at
drg19841
Nice one, funny.
They do have a good chemistry...we could call it Chico and the Van! ;)....you probably have to be over 40 to get that joke!
Agree!
Gabriel seems like a really nice dude
His laugh is great. But he needs to take care of his health better, shed some 40 kg at least.
Stranger Happened he has a disease
GhettoMist because he is
You like him automatically
GhettoMist This video is how I first heard of him.
I always see Jay Leno driving on Sunland Blvd. Everytime I see him I say hey Jay! And he always says hi, really down to earth guy.
That's cool man
Sunland and/or La Tuna Cyn
So everytime you "see" him you happen to be right next to him and his windows are down? Wow you're either the luckiest or you're a liar.
@@snavisTM You mad, bro?
Same here...I've seen him several times; on Sunland (@ San Fernando) and on Interstate 5
This is probably the best episode in this show. Funny guest, not the same monotone set up he usually has
"Why the Transporter? Were you carrying a lot of people, or - "
"Is that a Mexican joke, Jay?"
XD
“It’s suddenly a lowrider!!!” 😂😂😂
and in 2020 that would get Jay cancelled by the SJWs
This ain’t the 70s anymore!😂
That's what happens when comedians hang out, they show NO mercy!
They used to call it the Shaggin Wagon, didn't they?
These guys should be on tour together ,that was hilarious .
It was comfortable, easy and you could see the admiration and Trust. nice
One of the best episodes, ever! I love Gabriel, and the timing the two of them have back and forth, is priceless! LOL!
On Gabriel's show he said that Jay crashed this bus into the curb, and I genuinely would have been so pissed i can't even imagine. It's a priceless one of kind condition car and is one of my all time favorites.
That's a clean vintage VW van. Nice!
CycleCruza up in here :), didn't think you were a car guy
killerracernos I'm more of a Jay Leno fan. I like his enthusiasm for cars and bikes. I share the same enthusiasm for motorcycles, not so much for cars, however, I can appreciate clean restored classics such as this vintage VW bus.
CycleCruza Completely off topic opening, but thinking about culture, is interesting that people can develop youtube celeb status. If I saw ya on the street, would never know, but recognize you online :p
Back to topic, really respect what you said above man. I always have trouble dealing with people who say something "sux" just because it is not their flavour. I am not a sportbike guy, but still respect people's preference to them.
@ the end, Typical Jay pretending to be your friend and stealing stuff xD
Wow nice to see CycleCruza appreciates vintage vehicles
TOOK ME BACK IN TIME AS A KID WHEN I GET UP EARLY SATURDAY MORNING ,WITH MY BOWL OF CERAL AND WATCH MY CARTOON FAVORITE SCOOBY DOO.
Engineer Bill...red light...green light!
I don’t know why but 15:34 seems like just a magical moment for Gabriel. It looks like he was taken back to being a kid in his vw all over again and doing what he did while riding in it back then. Pure magic.
My whole family loves Mr. Iglesias’s work, we think the world of him. Really cool bus!
it's great around 11:00 where Jay is on the freeway and Gabriel is holding on with Both hands! :)
..and only nearing the Exit,did he mention the bad steering box..
I remember doing some 25y ago a 300+ mile one-day road trip in late 60's VW minibus (the next version that had single piece windscreen), it was a relief when it was over... no seatbelts, struggling engine, very ineffective brakes and and very obviously minimal crash safety. Steering was as in this one, and gear selection was lottery. Not to forget very noisy, tinny interior and slippery vinyl seats. The car was then probably worth a thousand or so. As an once in lifetime experience unforgettable though!
Savage. “The Elvis they found on the floor” lmao!
I’m too young yet my passions is old and vintage! Absolutely my dream car.
Split window. 😀
that was a fun show, thanks guys. fluffy you are awesome!
8:36 oh suddenly it's a low rider...
Killed me... hahahaha
My VW Beetle stranded me a lot until I quit buying the crappy Checker Auto Parts store brand points and condenser and started buying the Bosch ones.
I get all my parts from Jbugs.
my dads been having trouble with his tr6 ill tell him to try better points and condenser thanks good idea
Yep, if you do want to stay original and keep the points and condenser, instead of Pertronix electronic, Bosch is definitely the way to go. You can still buy most anything for the air-cooled VW's from www2.cip1.com 😉👍
I used a 76 beetle for 4 years daily and the only time its let me on the road is when the coil cable get loose and the engine dies, pop right back and keep going
Well done. Regards from Stuttgart
I had a '66 Beetle when I was around 20. It didn't like the freeway either, and it had been hopped up with the engine from a '70s Super Beetle, so it had something like _60_ horsepower, woooo! As one of my friends put it when we were getting on I-290 in Worcester, "Oh! It's trying to accelerate! That's so cute!"
Getting to 55 was always an adventure. The Buses were even slower. You top out around 60, cruise at 45.
Josh Nixon But you _felt_ like you were doing Warp Factor 12, because at 55 the engine would be going _WAAAAAAAAA_ like an F1 car from before they went to the boring-sounding turbo hybrids.
(You got a similar experience from '60s big-block Pontiac engines with the old-fashioned two-speed Powerglide automatics. The slushamatic kick-down on the Interstate on-ramp didn't really do much, but it felt and sounded like you were jumping to hyperspace. :)
Josh Nixon
Says the guy who never owned either. Obviously
You can get a BUNCH of power from an air cooled vw, but they tend to break way more often. I had a 65 beetle with a turbo 2232, 360rwhp.
@@buckykattguitar That's... brave. I would have thought my '66 model's suspension and brakes would have run out of talent _long_ before handling that much power. :)
Who are the idiots that gave this video thumbs down? Two class act comedians. Love them both.
As someone who always wear a seatbelt even for short trips, watching them both cruising on the freeway without seatbelts really gave me goose-bumps.
This looks like the beginning of a new show called Comedians in Car's getting hotdogs and hamburgers.
I love these old Samba's. I wish they made more of them.
I will now check out Gabriel. He was pretty funny. Another good show Jay.
Gabriel is great. Check out his "hot and fluffy" special... or his "comedy central presents" episode... really, you can't go wrong with him.
1. I love cars 2. I love comedy and when comedians get together they become 10x as funny. This episode: One of the best ones on this channel for the laughs, love these guys!
The end is epic. My dad had one of these. Mom used to take us kids to the store heck everywhere. I can still hear my dad say 2nd gear and foot off the break. Thank you Jay and Gabriel. I needed this...... Yes I own 2 VWs and yes I still have to push them.
Only comics and folks with funny bones will always get this stuff...... Like fried food, diet Cokes and to end it......push the dam car. Brings back memories...... Funny ones. Hahahaha. Loved it. Thanks for that.
Been looking through Jay's videos for a while now, love me some old cars, some new cars, and the production values- always something to learn. This was so good for the comraderie, both for cars and comedians! One of my fave's!
How can you not love Gabriel? He's a cool cat! One you can just chill with and laugh until your sides cramp up! Plus that VW is totally sweet!
These types of videos when jay Is with his real friends are the best
My favourite episode ! Not only because I’m a vw nut and own a bus, but because of the comedy, this was all good
Great show! I am picking up my 67 in a week! I am excited!
How is it
+Tubby Tubbs good, working on lowering the bus right now, I have some videos on my channel, thanks
i would suggest you leave the car alone or sell it to some safe hands. hands that wont ruin such a beautiful classic thing
mr_kamikaze come on man to each his own. Just cause he is lowering his bus doesn't mean it's not in good hands he just has a different style then you! Nothing wrong with that:) it's what makes the world an interesting place. Originality is something to be admired! I say keep up the good work on the bus!
MicBergsma
by far one of the funnier leno garage vids. 👍 they play off each other well. ...great show
What a great show and Jay is a great guy with no apparent ego at all like so many other stars.
I was suprised to see that Iglesias thought his VW bus couldn't handle freeway driving. I had a 1967 VW bus set up exactly like his (sunroof, windows along edge of top, etc.) with the only exceptions being that mine was red and light tan and my windshields didn't flip up. When I got married in 1970, I drove it all the way to California from eastern Illinois and had no problems at all. In fact, I had the back bumper reinforced so I could use one of those trailer hitches that clamped onto bumpers (when cars had real bumpers) and I pulled a 10 or 12 foot trailer with everything we owned at the time, including my 1969 Triumph Bonneville T120. Acceleration was minimal, of course, but we had no trouble on the open roads or even going over the Rocky Mountains. That was when there unemployment was extremely high so I didn't find a job so we moved back to Illinois but this time my wife drove the VW bus while rode my Triumph. I was crazy back then. It was in the middle of winter and I drove the bike in sub-zero temperatures. I remember one time when I stopped and realized that I was so frozen that I couldn't move. It had come across slowly and I didn't notice it. I had to practically be carried into a restaurant and my wife had to hold my cup of coffee for me.
Unlike Iglesias, I don't recall ever having any problems with my VW bus and I had it for seven or eight years. However, the body rusted badly and, by the time I sold it, the side door was held closed with a rope tied to the armrest of on the middle rear seat.
I don't remember a lot about the engine but I do remember that it had an oil bath air filter. Also, I seem to remember that it did have a generator contrary to what Iglesias said but I may be wrong or his may have been converted for an alternator.
If I had any idea how much that bus would be worth today, I would have kept it. But, then, I would have kept a lot of things, some of which I just threw out but are now valuable collectors items. Hindsight!
That was just amazing seeing a combination of both legendary comedians and a classic car! ❤
This was really funny and entertaining. I love that bus!
Did this video ever bring back memories. My first car was a '58 micro bus. 36 hp engine, crash box tranny but I had so many great memories in that thing it was amazing. I got it in 1964 when I was seventeen years old. A friend spotted it in a little town they were passing through in Arizona on their way to Colorado for a deer hunting trip. On their way back they talked to the guy that had it for sale. My dad paid the guy $150 and they went back and got it (I lived in La Mirada California at the time). They towed it home and my friend rebuilt the engine (It had sucked a valve) Put new heads on it, a cylinder kit and I was on the road. The most fun I ever had. Thanks for sharing this video. Sure does bring back some very fond memories!
"Later Elvis, the one they found on the floor!" Hah hah ha hah!
That episode was so much fun, I didn't want it to end! Felt like I was hanging out with my close friends!
Oh, this was so much fun -- and the laughter between you two was infectious!
what a beautifiull bus. a real samba.. they are so expensive but so beautifull.
that is one of the best episodes yet.. can't beat two comedians in a VW bus...
This the funniest one I've seen! Hola from San Antonio, Fluffy!

My memory on VW buses was that they were super reliable. The VW bus was the only transport for Beer , Whiskey and Wine or many years for UMBRIAGO's (means drunkard in Italian) liquor store in New Jersey. My dad managed that store from the late 1950's to the late 1970's and the only type of vehicle used was an air-cooled VW bus and there was only one vehicle, that would be used for 5 years or so and traded in for a new VW air cooled bus. What kind of use did it get? A LOT. That 1 square mile area was listed in the Guinness World book of records back then as having the most pubs and taverns in a square mile in the entire world. UMBRIAGO's was the main supplier. The place is still there but under new ownership and a different name. The Hell's Angels chapter had events a few blocks away and UMBRIAGO's was a supplier. Deliveries went on in any weather and that VW van when loaded down with beer and whiskey went like a tank in the snow. Booze is the vital blood of the hard working blue collar working class of New Jersey.
I think Gabriel doesn't drive it enough. That's also why everything is so stiff, because the parts, windows, door handles, etc, don't get used/opened/moved.
Wow. Don’t even think these are reliable. I’ve had two of the older versions before I had any idea how to care for any vehicle. If you drive one daily they REQUIRE bi-monthly valve adjustments. If neglected they will suck a valve when they get hot and will require new heads and wven more extensive work. My dad bought me a pair of engines but didn’t tell me how to avoid the problems I was into. I’d still have that ‘65 bus or have passed it down to one of my kids. Very safe cars partly because they are so slow. Before the SUV you sat high and could se around you.
Kim Horton
No, you are wrong. Aircooled VWs needed periodic valve adjustments that take like 10 minutes to do - you were doing something wrong and you did mention it was before you knew how to care for a car...
syyenergy7
Ya, I daily drove a 1969 westfalia in the late 90s. It ran bad and clunky when I bought it. I rebuilt the motor and it ran great. NEVER failed to start. Over 20mpg
Anybody that thinks they’re unreliable wasn’t maintaining it. My bus would start instantly even at zero Fahrenheit
I currently own 4 vw bugs , all pre 67, so happy to see some vws on ur channel, Gabriel recently brought out his bus to our car meet in signal hill CA thing is beautiful in person. Aha
Way too funny !!!
From one VW guy to another,
Love the van !
The ending of this video cracked me up.
Gabriel and Jay, PLEEEASSSSE do a tour or a show together. Your friendship is amazing and you Two are hilarious together.
Loving that Samba 😍
Their value has suddenly skyrocketed worldwide. They don't have to go fast, but compared to today's vehicles, they're still reliable, so grateful that it's all original
Great to see an Old Splitscreen on Jay Leno's Garage. Jay needs an old VW Bus of his own in the garage. Great episode. JC.
This video made my day. Thank you, Gabriel and Jay!
I love Gabriel Iglesias! Jay and Gabriel are probably my favorite ever.
Smiles. Smiles. Smiles. This episode just made me happy. and I'm a VW fan as well. Still Smiling!!
We made it through a German car without the Arnold impression!
Yeah... 😅 Though it's widely known that Schwarzenegger is Austrian and not German. 😅
@@ZJCitricAcidGraf.E.T. different nationality, same ethnicity.
it is fun :)
@@ZJCitricAcidGraf.E.T. It's like the U.S. and Canada. Basically the same, but different.
Thank god
Great episode. We had a bus in the early 70's when I was a kid. All you guys hatin on jay,lighten up these guys are good friends. It was very entertaining.
I had a '63 15 window Deluxe with the corner windows. But I had a 1776 with a radical cam, Chevy valves, and dual Kadron 40mm single barrel carbs. Put the motor in, synced the carbs and set the timing, went out in the street and launched, popped a little wheelie. As long as nobody got in front of me I could run up the pass from Santa Clarita to Palmdale at 90 mph at about 1/4 throttle. And still got 22 mpg. Drove it daily for 6 years and put 150k miles on that first motor. Got tired of push starting it when it was 6volt so changed the lamps and put a resister on the original radio, and threw a 12 volt battery in. With the 6volt starter in there it spun it so fast it almost couldn't help but start. I also wrenched on it like at least 3 days a week. A lot of that restoration but a lot to keep it running too. Early buses put you in the most comfortable driving position.
I cant get enough of this clips man. JAY is the man!
My dream car/bus, it’s absolutely stunningly beautiful..
So funny guys.....you guys made my day, Fluffy was like sitting next to Jay and enjoying car ride, father and son having fun together....then ended up at fast food chain, how cool is that.
Fluffy the car is good it just that you don't have reliable mechanic to put reliable parts, let Jay's guy look at it and get it done, its easy fix. Or you prefer that way, it breakdown so often and can crack some jokes..😃😃😃😃😃.....
Amazing to see Someone like Fluffy truly admire the Volkswagen World.. I love his Comedy Shows...
I Would love to Own a Bus One Day.
I Own 2 Beetles... They're Fun to Drive around and taken to Local Car Shows.
I always get a Crowd...
People of all Sorts love them.
I never Been to California, but i would love to go one day and Hopefully Meet Gabriel at his Amazing Museum...
You scared the bejesus out of Fluffy on tge highway.. Then when he had to push start the van and you hauled azzz!!! CLASSIC!!
I love the sound of this vehicle
my favorite episode of jay's garage!
The day my favorite comedian takes a cruise with my favorite car guy in one my favorite vehicles. Gabriel, Jay and a VW bus!!!!
The 21 window together with the pop out windows is cool, even the 23 version, when you see a comedian like Gabriel Iglesias, very proud to drive a 1966 volkswagen bus, drive around the old neighborhood, priceless,👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
This was probably the funniest episodes. I'd love to see more Gabriel and Jay. They seem to click. :)
My favorite episode so far, I was laughing through the entire vid. Great stuff gentlemen.
I've been into water cooled VWs for almost 30 years...never really took to the air cooled scene. But this vid has changed that. What a sweet bus! I love how the windshield opens up, talk about a blast to drive. I want one.
That was Great.!! .. Two Great Comedians and a cool old VW Bus.!! ... Awesome Video.!
This is by far the best rig I've seen on here.
Kids could stand on that spare tire well with head and upper body stuck out of the sunroof. Then they could get hit in the face by 60mph June-bugs and other large insects, many times. Ask me how I know.
Schluesselmensch That's hilarious! I had a similar experience with my head out the sunroof of our 72 beetle, but my dad got in trouble with the police for letting me do that. Better than standing on the front of the Titanic ;)
how do you know?
You can also crank open the sunroof and stick a refrigerator out the roof, you can also line the inside with cardboard, open the roof and fill it full of plaster and other remodeling debris and make a trip to the town dump. My folks had one like, this except for it was a a '64 didn't have the safari windows and ours had bucket seats in the front.
Ha! That happens when I ride my Harley.
It ain’t fun. Especially when it’s a bird to the chest or forehead.
Harry Ballzack how do you take a bird to the chest on the freeway and not suffer a fatal crash?
This is great. We appreciate what you do Jay.
Great team, nice bus lotta fun, I laughed my arse off, some people r so serious , this guy and jay r a great team
I watched the video and knew morons would be crying about the fat jokes.
I scrolled down to the comment section and found I was correct.
Jay, keep the jokes coming. Gabriel was not offended. Nice VW bus.
His show title is literally a fat joke. also hes not fat, hes fluffy
jezuzfreek777 lol he’s a comedian, why the hell would he be offended by a joke?
It's not the busses fault fluffy! It's called maintenance!
probably the coolest and the most satisfying episode :3
Dad bought a '62 VDub Camper Van in the mid-70s which Dad and I drove from Pittsburgh to our new home in Idaho in '77. We went everywhere in that VDub and aside from I believe 3 engines, a couple clutches and several batteries- it was reliable! My buds loved "the mobile disco" and I packed many heavy newspaper loads for delivery in that VDub. She finally gave out on dad traveling down I-15 when she caught fire (fuel leak) and burned to the ground- true story!
This is one of my favorite episodes!
ahhhhhh ha ha ha ha! CLASSIC!
Sweet Bus for sure, great ending!
Massive thumbs up from me! These two are great together! More please :D
super cool. I lived in Germany back in the 60's and 70's so I saw a bunch of these up in the mountains.
Made my morning! Watch all the way to the end of the video!
Gabriel and jay my two favorite celebrity's
dont forget kevin hart!
+Jeffrey Horton no he sucks
We called the original exhaust the pea shooters. love the old 21 window ragtops.. safari windows... Just nice beach town car. You can adjust the steering box and tighten that up.
For sure the expert specialist mechanics will adjust the steering box and charge the fat boy sucker for a new steering box. It's routine practice.
I know where a 23 window is sitting completely rusted out with all the glass missing and it's been sitting there since 2005
@@thecloneguyz buy it and restore it
Loved how Gabriel was afraid to take the bus on the freeway. Jay's like" aww it'll be fine!"
i had two VW buses - "65 camper with a "built" engine and a '78 passenger bus. The "78 had ,many improvements including a heater that actually heated the interior. I worked at a VW dealer in the service department so became very familiar with the vehicles. Loved driving them and owning not only the buses but also two Beetles.
Love Gabriel!
Good stuff, keep it coming.
Great bus, and what an awesome laugh!
I LOVE all the old VW air cooled vehicles.
I will test drive a vw bus one day 😍
It was funny when Gabriel held onto the "oh boy" handle with 2 hands when they were on the freeway on ramp 😄
Excellent segment guys!
This was one of my favorite episodes to date. So funny! And a nice classic happy change from the usual angry serious race cars or sometimes not as exciting classics!
Brings back great memories of going camping with Boy Scouts in the mid sixties.Crammed in with camping gear and all my buds.
This is the job Jay was born for. Love this show.
every years you need to change out the 2 carbon brushes in the alternator and it will charge the battery fine.super easy job, takes about 15 minutes -- 2 of them have to be replaced on opposite sides in the main body of the alternator (usually hidden underneath some flip-up cover). Just like fixing an old 1930's vacuum cleaner
I’m willing to bet the battery wasn’t actually dead and his alternator is just fine...part of the skit
@Christiaan Overgaard You don't know what you're talking about. An alternator _is_ a generator, and it does indeed use brushes, though brushless versions exist (they are large though; not used in passenger cars or light trucks). Also, the earlier "generators" also generated AC current, but the method of converting it to DC output was different.
@Christiaan Overgaard Again, you don't know what you're talking about. Automotive "generators" (used in the mid '60s and earlier) and "alternators" both generate AC which is converted to DC before being output to the battery:
"Despite their names, both 'DC generators' (or 'dynamos') and 'alternators' initially produce alternating current. In a so-called 'DC generator', this AC current is generated in the rotating armature, and then converted to DC by the commutator and brushes. In an 'alternator', the AC current is generated in the stationary stator, and then is converted to DC by the rectifiers (diodes). "
Very good tip
Great video of two hilarious guys!
One of the nicest video's. Talking about cars, taking it for a drive and getting something to eat.
Gabriel's so stoked to show off his ride, great episode!
More videos like this :)
what pero que haces aqui, jajaja veo tus videos actualmente quien iba a saber saludos...
Jay doesn't like people speaking lol. He really loves to interrupt
Not to offend anyone but it's all American talk host, radio host and interviewers that are like that.
@@jeanlubin9878 that's a really ignorant generalization which could only be true if you've listened to every single personm
Right
SerenityNow : so dam true!!!
Jay sucks and isn't funny. He shafted Conan like a whiny baby. His vehicles, however, are cool.
Best episode ever at the garage. Fluffy,leno🔥🔥🔥🔥
I was freaking out when Jay took it on the freeway, I held my breath 😯
