Jay Leno's Favorite American Muscle Cars -- /THE DRIVE 

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

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.

Only issue I have with this video is that it wasn't 3 hours long.

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!

Yep, I'd still take that orange 70s Challenger over a new hellcat.

Jay’s collection is an example of what you can do when money is never a concern. Wow. 1000hp Toronado, who else would do that 😀

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...

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.

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

That 71 challenger is downright gorgeous.

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.

8:42 Jay forgets this isn't Jay Leno's Garage, and starts talking to the camera like it's just another one of his episodes

Jay is a true car guy. He has everything.

My favorite would be the Roadmaster. Such a classic.

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.

Jay IS AWESOME! His stories are so wonderfully told. The Roadmaster will be the most valuable in his collection.

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

That challenger is my dream car, i didn't knew jay had one so perfect.

That Navy Blue Metallic WS6 behind the Toronado is gorgeous!

the 70 Challenger is defiantly one my favorite classic muscle car!

Pretty cool. Jay Leno is such a likeable person.

jay loves his sleepers...

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.

That Buick Roadmaster is so classy, stylish and gorgeous. Wow! Love it!

Jay Leno is an American treasure. Like the real life version of a Chuck Norris joke.

you know he's a car guy when GM puts your name on a motor, thats awesome!

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!!

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

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...

Admit it Jay you loved having your name on that 572 it was no joke :)

Leno is love. Leno is life

The story about the Galaxy 7.0 Litre is hysterical!

Man those are some beautiful muscle cars man.

Is this an interview or Jay showing around some random dude he found off the street?

Old is class.

"I live in a hilly area"

So awesome! Thank you Jay Leno for helping keep the past Autos alive.

Jay's Garage are goals

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.

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!

Kudos to Jay for putting up with this guy.

Best line, re the Toronado, "I don't give it the valet or anything like that"!

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.

Jay is a crazy, crazy man. In the best way possible.

that 7 liter 500 so damn clean

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.

If there’s a heaven it is in Jay Leno’s garage ❤️

Jay Lenos channel is probably my favorite RU-vid 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.

jay 🙏 his car collection is so dreamy

I just love Jay and his passion for quality cars, or I should say, those pieces of artwork. The workmanship is beyond perfection!

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.

Love jay leno. A true car guy

The ultimate testament to a true car buff: A giant crate engine named after you - 572 Leno -

I love how modest he is about have a factory engine built and named after him...

grab a drink sit in his garage enjoy looking at those cars!

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 !!!

Damn... He has his first car. Inspiring

Jay, such a car guy....that Tornado is sick !!!

Jay has an amazing memory!

This is one awesome site, and Mr. Leno has truly enjoyed his life through his love of cars. Thanks for sharing your life!

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.

that black Viper R/T-10 behind the Galaxy is sexy as hell.

Great show thanks. Love Jay and classic American muscle cars. Jay is still excited by these cars 🇬🇧

jay is the man, i could spend weeks with him going through cars

I never knew cars could be so interesting until I started watching Jay Leno's Garage.

Early 70's Challengers actually handled pretty good.

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!

Jay just got even cooler, man...these cars are absolutely stunning!

Rear Wheel Drive Toronado is the way to go.

who'd like to have a tour around jay's garage?

I could listen to Jay talk about cars and share his stories for hours. Such a cool guy.

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.

Who knew he was so cool. Got to love those gear heads

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. "

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

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.

Jays living the dream Anything with an original Hemi is worth big bucks

Jay is real boss 👍

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.

Classic! Love this story little Jay got the sports package for his dad's car .

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 !

"You could take a guy from Albania, show him this car and he would know it's American" 😂😂😂👌

Jay Leno is a big influence and role model of mine. Love you Mr Leno

This has to be my favorite "Jay Leno Video".

7 liter Ford is Awesome with the Roush Motor in a 6-speed in a Buick Roadmaster is a total sleeper

Amazing! Kudo's to Jay for doing things right!

Just realized something about Jay Leno I never thought was true. He’s nuts! I love it!

Nothing like the styling of the Olds Toronado!! What a total sleeper that beast is.

He must be the uncle that has all those epic storis for Christmas! True passionate of car!

9:38 how about the ram air Trans Am in the background??? I've always wanted Jay to make a video on it!

So cool to get a peek at some of the cars I haven't seen on Jay's channel! Badass!!

Binge watching every episode is unique Jay Leno thanks for sharing.

god i love how that olds looks.

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.

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.

The Toronado and Galaxie are my favs from this video, but that Buick is the ultimate sleeper.

besides the lukewarm host I enjoyed seeing jays muscle car's.

Jay is the best.

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.

I love how he has a story for every car
