Aw Gee! No burnout! Hell, Jay he wouldn't mind! My cousin (Paul Pfohl) had a 1952 Allard with a Cadillac motor and a special LeMans body. He used to take us kids in the neighborhood for rides in it. We'd go around the block at 120mph+ and as soon as he got it back home he'd park it in his garage right away before the cops showed up. Great fun!

I could look at this car all day.

These are so good, thank you for the uploads

"Stupid paddleshifters..." You are a genius, Leno.

@1blisslife 8 лет назад

I must agree.... Electronic/sensor(fly by wire) driven shifters lack something! Good ol' manual transmissions give you full control :)!

@GJM- 8 лет назад

1blisslife Is the enganging and timeless mechanical feeling.

@Charlesb88 3 года назад

If one knock totally manual shifting will Jay come over and give you the paddle?😂.

@DocWolph 11 лет назад

Okay I LOVE that air filter. To think, It's on a modern engine... Also good old fashioned camming... This isn't tuning this is straight up Modding. I love it when real work is put into these projects.

@TheRealUyi 9 лет назад

i met mr allard at a car auction once. he was there with the owner of a j2x just hanging out. hes such a cool guy and down to earth. the car was amazing too, the build qualitys so nice on them and theres lots of little trick things done all around. the j2x i saw had a ctsv motor in it though, was really nice

@petyrkowalski9887 6 лет назад

Looks great and before Jay commented I thought the back 1/3 from the seat and back ..wheelarches and trunk really look like an AC Cobra. That engine note is great as well.

@christophermateo8727 4 года назад

Love your show, Jay.

@davidfindley1588 5 лет назад

Now that is how that charger should sound like. Great vid. Keep em coming

@JohnWhite-xc3md Год назад

I love that it is so bare bones, has a real stick shift, and is just well built instead of being all tech'd and safety'd out. Also, that steering wheel is beautiful.

@TheMDJ2000 4 года назад

@guymuto4054 7 лет назад

You mention the idea of a Ford Cobra. Shelby did race an Allard -- 1952 J2. It's still around.

@Tzhz 3 месяца назад

All cars built by Shelby are based on Allards, and Allard cars started his illustrious career. Without Allard, the mustang would have never existed!

@guilldanny 11 лет назад

I remember drooling over the Allard in hot rod magazine. Some craftsman built a few cars out of American sheet metal to resemble this type car.

@skipstein744 5 лет назад

My uncle owned an Allard J2X. he had the Cadillac engine in it. He tells of having to put the vehicle in neutral as he coasted by the local police, as it was too loud for the man. I also remember looking at the speedo showing 120+ MPH, as a teenager. Fast and fun!

@Redacted-Information Год назад

Carol Shelby got his start racing in Allards!

@mattcuddy814 7 лет назад

Doc McHenry in Silverlake had a Cad Allard, supercharged. One time he pulled on the inside of my Grandpa's 1959 T-Bird with the 430 Lincoln motor at a stop light, and Gramps got promptly got blown into the weeds by the mighty Allard J2X. Copies that fail to utilize the swing axle front suspension, or are made of fiberglass, and have a Mustang II front steering and control arms leave me cold. Like this one does. History strained through a dollar meter.

@bigredc222 5 лет назад

But an original is $350,000, these sell for $125,000, not that I could afford either, but they certainly have a place in the market.

@nemo227 11 месяцев назад

I remember the Allards (Cad Allard, and maybe Packard Allard?). I think there were a couple that raced in the 17 Mile Drive races in Monterey/Carmel. Just looked it up: it was the Pebble Beach road race.

@frederic-charlesboisvert9208 11 лет назад

Proud of being from Montreal and having a Nana named Allard

@SwPiotrek 11 лет назад

Very cool video and car.

@Klaxon101 11 лет назад

My favourite car ever is the Auburn Boattail Speedster too.Please do a segment on it Jay!I think it would be nice.

@chiconian49 11 лет назад

What a beautiful car! I'm 6 ft/4, sure I would not fit in it, but I can dream.

@PHAT50CHEVY 11 лет назад

1 more i like power to weight like jay says all lumpy cams i dig it thanks jay

@NSCA12 11 лет назад

WOW!!! It is an absolutely beautiful car. I have always found it most interesting that the best looking cars have such a balance of looks between the shape of a muscle and a woman’s physique. The shot around the six minute mark is reminiscent of the AC Cobra. This is one of those rare times where someone gets it right and creates a balance between artwork and engineering. Thank you for the video Mr. Leno. P.S. - What do you plan to do when you retire? Besides relax… lol.

@seanb70 5 лет назад

@JohnLoganMcKee03 11 лет назад

I just love that British styling.

@Mechknight73 11 лет назад

I worked in a Mazda dealership for about a year, and driving them is the closest thing I know to driving a street-legal go-kart with a windscreen. Not Lightning fast, but a hell of a lot of fun. There is a crazy Australian upgrade known as the Bullet Roadster. Take an MX5/Miata, change its body panels for fibreglass, and add a Lexus 4 litre V8, with an optional supercharger. Quick is an understatement

@Tonguefunsome 11 лет назад

I think what Jay was referring to is the old style donor type kit cars,not kits built from the ground up.

@jamesboley6680 11 лет назад

Great vid Mr J Ever hear of Ocelot Race Company check them out I just an old car guy That green thing reminds me of my grandfathers car he built by hand in the forties same color but then he worked for cady/Gm all his time in the business Thanks for the show

@sumrica 11 лет назад

Fine looking car.

@neverendingmods 11 лет назад

Another great car that Leno did as quick and cool video. Thanks Jay . I have been looking at little 2 seat open sports cars. The most fun for the money while still being practical and easy to work on when needed. Check out the LS3 powered Miatas that "Flyin Miatas " is building and selling...turnkey cars with 430 or 480hp and getrag trans and differential in a miata. 1990 through 05 fully street legal with ODBII compliance. Check them out. Puts monster miata to shame.

@marktonylindo4627 5 лет назад

A lovely car ,WE get a bit touchy about this things 🇬🇧

@allensaunders449 8 лет назад

there are a lot of small car manufacturers now in our modern world good for them

@jeremiahsmith6689 11 лет назад

i proudly own a 67 mustang coupe and i could care less if it is, my biggest advantage is that where i live im exempt from emissions testing. every week someone asks to buy it so far only men have been the ones offering but i never intend to sell it. i aim restore and modify it. i tend to be a chevy guy but i prefer the looks of a 67 mustang over most cars

@allardbiggenvanger3480 4 года назад

I always got blullied with my name.. .....but now im proud of it

@ChipmunkRapidsMadMan1869 3 года назад

Own it and build a car

have a feeling jay wants this car hehe

@blackericdenice 6 лет назад

Jay it's not boosted so the only other way to get to 600 hp is a cam. I been saying change the cam for over 5 years. So what's the peak hp rpm?

@lakecrab 8 лет назад

Very enviable.

@Allaar90 11 лет назад

This brand made understand how I've become such a petrolhead, it's named after me! Or.. maybe the other way around.

@62flyboy 8 лет назад

I hope you sent a copy of the video to the owner. It would be a nice touch and might add a wee bit of value to his car down the road.

@sherwoodfiftythirtybc4433 11 лет назад

Gol Darn it Jay, I'll say it again- throw some glasses on or something to protect your eyes in those open air rigs...yeesh !!

@MODELMIND72 11 лет назад

sweet.

@AndrewMiguelez 11 лет назад

So how do they get around safety standards since this is being built from the ground up?

@brucejackson4219 2 года назад

That's some car !

@smiffy1380 11 лет назад

I remember the bad old days of the 80s Kit Car! :-) Thing is, some people think they're STILL like that. What I was trying to say was that the lines are now blurring between a Kit Car & a Specialist Car & the only difference is, if it's available factory assembled OR for home-build then it's a Kit Car but if it's ONLY available factory-built then it's a Specialist Car. I just felt Jay (maybe unintentionally) was using the words Kit Car as an insult, which is a bit unfair on today's industry.

@sailorman2291 11 лет назад

Sometimes I think Jay Leno forgets who he is... "if he sees me do a burnout he'll kill me!" BUT its a HEMI!! and You're Jay Leno!

@6000cortes 11 лет назад

hahaha he really said "maybe some DNA"

@ze_german2921 8 лет назад

Even Jay knew the guy was bullshitting about the "600h.p."

@TheRossicle 11 лет назад

There's a reason Miatas are so popular.. They're a lot of fun!

@DEVANC4VETTE 11 лет назад

This is off topic but i want to see the fallow up video you promised us on the modifications you made to the Fiat 500 Abarth you bought last year.

@Raytarded66 11 лет назад

that big black plastic windshield washer knob kills the feel of the whole car 4:40

@tww1491 5 лет назад

The Allards I remember had Cadillac engines.

@vanillagorilla8236 4 года назад

Quite a few different engines, mostly American.

@lynandhenrymeyerding3392 Год назад

Every time you review a car like this, I wonder why you never review a Caterham 7... seems like something you would like and it has such an interesting story with Lotus.

@taurusguy95 11 лет назад

Why is there a stigma when it comes to kit cars? There is ABSOLUTELY nothing wrong with them Jay!

@KorahGC 11 лет назад

WHERE IS THE 1080p ???

@Lookup2Wakeup 7 лет назад

Mr Toad of Toad Hall would be interested in this car............

@ericmuschlitz7619 Год назад

Indeed, Carrol Shelby raced an Allard J2.

@jeremiahsmith6689 11 лет назад

whats the car you want for a daily driver?

@michaelhendrix75 11 лет назад

If was with Allard sales, I would have brought an Order Sheet with me. Sales 101

@AtHomewithLucas 11 лет назад

Why only 480p?

@rodney1818 4 года назад

Leno tested Leno approved

@elvee88 11 лет назад

old chassis?

@henrikcarlsen1881 7 лет назад

It's slightly frustrating when Jay asks a question and doesn't wait for (nor listen to) the answer. He does it here, but not as bad as when he invited a Tremec guy to talk about transmissions. Jay asked and asked and never listened to this very capable person who really had some interesting answers.

@Hiluxtaco 11 лет назад

This is not a current video. It was filmed a few years ago, and is just now being uploaded onto RU-vid..

@drogoscg1 11 лет назад

I like the fact it has modern components in an old body design. If you have a great sports car wouldn't you prefer a modern, more reliable engine and braking system? I understand collecting, but I'd rather have a car I can use during good weather. This car is a collector, but also is usable.

@Francoberry 11 лет назад

imagine if the owner of that car saw the video and realized that Jay Leno was driving it XD

@drfiver2 11 лет назад

I feel this is shot in HD but no 720p?!?!

@tomjoseph1444 Год назад

Canada at one time, was on the state departments travel advisory list recommending that business people not travel there.

@Bravo21 11 лет назад

Price is about $150k depending upon the engine and options you choose.

@onquarter 11 лет назад

The issue is that many of these videos were filmed years ago for Jays old web site. Unfortunately they were all 480p, and there is nothing they can do about it :(
