Jay, In 1964, I was seventeen years of age. I was driving a Model A Ford to high school and was to go to San Jose State College the following year. My father did not want me to commute to San Jose in my old Ford, and asked me if I wanted to go look at a new Mustang. Every Ford dealer had just one for display. Griswold and Wright Ford in Modesto, Harry Lafayette was the salesman. Dad said i could order the small V8, which was a 260 at the time. I did order the four-speed, tinted glass, AM radio, accent package, (Wire hub caps, like Jack's, pinstripe only on the sides, no fake chrome scoop). Poppy red was the color. Seven weeks for delivery, the longest seven weeks of my life. About four weeks into it, we were notified the 260 had been discontinued and I would have to settle for the new 289 (darn...). Then on the sixth week, Harry Lafayette called and asked dad and I if we wanted to watch my car being built at the Ford Plant in Fremont, California. Very interesting day. They had four hundred Mustangs in various stages on the line, turning out four hundred a day. They had such computer cards and could Identify my car on the line. My car finally arrived in Modesto. I was the seventh person in Modesto to get a Mustang.I drove that car all through college, put 88k miles on it and sold it for $1100. I forgot to mention, the base price of the Mustang I ordered was $2368, all the extras, delivery and tax, it came to $2902. I felt good, at seventy-four now, to watch the video on Jack Mintz.

This kid is like straight out of the Goonies. Reminds me of how every 80s kid was portrayed in movies growing up. Love it!

I think that’s what made him so endearing to me watching this....I saw a little of myself in his mannerisms talking with Jay. Just a wonderful little video.

@danakraushaar3606 3 года назад

this episode really made me smile. I was so young when I would talk non-stop about classic cars, mind you Dad was a car guy. I remember getting excited seeing a 66 Fairlane dead and rusty in a field near my school, dreamed about that being a project! years later have had quite a few classics. So much better as a kid to be interested in cars and spending your money that way then just sitting on the couch playing mindcraft all day long.

Jay’s own teen reflection was really fantastic! I loved how much understanding and appreciation he had for Jack. Two great guys in this video!

Jack is a great young man with a sense of purpose and I’m convinced will head towards a great career in the automotive industry. Whilst ultimately that may be with hybrid, electric or hydrogen powered vehicles it will be an extremely worthwhile career and he deserves it. Congratulations Jack you’ve made an excellent start and I really hope you achieve and meet your expectations. I’m also sure Mum and Dad will enjoy watching your progress good luck.

Gosh. I remember 30 years ago when I turned 16....and I’m sure others can go even further of course, but there’s so much life ahead, and my point in all this is for some reason after watching this I just want this young man to have a good one, may the days come easy for him on down the road...

@momnc4721 3 года назад

This is a very humbling experience for that young man, to get a chance to meet Jay Leno at his garage and have him talk about your car, it doesn’t get any better than that.

@williamfawkes8379 3 года назад

What Jay doesn't know, is that while he was out in Jack's car, Jack took a ride in that Shelby GT350 that was sitting right there. Tune in next week to see the day Jack learned how to do a burnout.

@SshiggyY 3 года назад

I bought my 1992 Eunos Roadster right before my 14th birthday. Buying a classic car at a young age is brilliant, you learn so much but everyone at school says "but you cant legally drive it" thats not the point! haha. Jack has an amazing Mustang, well done mate.

@RJ-nh9hw 3 года назад

I will bet young Mintz's dad is so pleased to see his son with Jay and watch how great his demeanor is with Jay. Also, I note this young man is not starting out going the muscle way, rather a simple solution for his first car while still in school. I am more impressed (as a father) with this young man than his first vehicle. Jay deserves some serious kudos for "balancing" his program via presentations such as this!
