We in the classic vehicle world owe Jay a huge debt of gratitude for all of the vehicles that he has brought back to life. If it moves under it's own power, Jay likes it. Cars, trucks, motorcycles. Internal combustion, electric, steam, you name it, Jay tries to save it. I love to see what's new in his garage. He has such an easy going attitude also. The money it must cost to acquire these vehicles and to then restore them must be mind boggling. Yet, he seems so approachable. I really miss him doing the tonight show. His wife must be an angel to be so understanding.
+Bryan Bewley Every single one of the vehicles has either a usable boot, roof rack, saddle bag , side car or cup holder. As Jay always carefully explains, tell the wife you bought a practical car, there is room for the shopping.
+Johnny The Boy , not true. Johnny The Boy , Wayne Newton is not a comedian he is a singer and that wasn't my point anyway. Jay has this blog which takes more work than getting up and doing a set in Vegas. then he has the other TV program and before that which was what I was referring to (his history dude) of having a show late night every night and still going out and doing stand up more often that you may realize. Thanks for the comment but you add up the total working hours , I doubt very seriously that Wayne Newton is in the same commitment to actual work.....
That 911 is going to be a great driver. So many great projects. Congratulations on all of your success and all of the vehicles that you've earned. Thank you for preserving them, and using them as they are intended.
Jay I really appreciate your videos. For "MANY" reasons lol. I like the fact you're so involved with all vehicles. You're well informed about the back stories of each mortercycle, vintage vehicles from around the world, and even odd vehicles like trains! Those are a few variants to say the least. What I've noticed throughout your shows is something special. You're definitely not the owner of these cars (as you say)... You're a true fan of motorized mechanics. And as for your cars, you're an enthusiasts showing others time capsules, entertaining audiences across the world about unique engineering. Very cool! Thanks for your RU-vid channel Jay! - SGT Avila.
Wood spoke wheels with that torque...should make for exciting first acceleration runs. Incredible work as always Jay. Thanks for preserving history and sharing with us!
appreciate you passion Mr Leno, you are a true automotive lover I have ever seen, irrespective of the era, class, country fuel used, you love everything on wheels, you even have a dyno room is a class apart. awesome sir, hats off, you are even dear to my heart now and my super hero.
This is the first " Restoration Blog" I've had the pleasure to watch here. It's just great. 16 minutes and thirty seconds worth, but I could have watched this all evening ! Such interesting stuff, and the good part is , for me at least with my basic mechanical knowledge, I can follow along and understand everything that Jay is telling us. Thanks very much.
Hey Jay.... I'm sure everyone on the channel agrees...You..your passion and your phenomenal resourcefulness never fail to amaze us... Awesome.! Thanks for sharing..!
Great to see all the nice rides , that otherwise probably would never see, and to see Jay living his Dream makes it even better. So glad he is a gear Head and not some wacked out Hollywood Freak with a Ego to match. And what a shop. Thanks Jay !
I missed the start of this project but glad to see the finished work. This is such a beauty...reflective of the best of American Ingenuity and innovation! Made in Colorado! Oh the power of lithium Ion batteries :-) Beautiful projects!
I love the fact that Jay is doing something he loves! Miss him on the tonight show but its good to come on youtube and see him doing the thing he loves!
This is one of my favorite episodes. I like the tools and coffee cans of parts etc.laying around. You can tell someone is working on things. Good show thank you for sharing !
Love your show, both TV and here. It occurs to me that one thing I would appreciate in your videos if you would honk the horn at least once on any unusual car or truck you take for a drive. I love hearing old klaxon horns but that's another aspect of a classic car that you can't experience while viewing at a museum. Thanks for such a great blog!
First car I ever drove was a '66 122. Later I had a '64 544, my favorite car ever. I liked it better than my '66 GTO. BTW, there was a guy in Maine who used to take Volvo wagons (I think it was late '80s/early '90s) and put Mustang 5L engines in them. Reportedly, Paul Newman had one.
Jay, I just went to the Gilmore museum in Michigan. They had a great collection, the Franklins and the Tucker were highlights for me. I asked them and they said you haven't been there yet. I highly recommend it.
Thank god for jay Leno, because with out him these beautiful pieces of engineering would never be rescued and seen by us people who don't have the means to do it right.
Awesome bikes! It would be nice to have subtitles with the year, make, model for the cars and bikes. Even though Jay says what we're looking at, I am so mesmerized by what I'm seeing that I often miss it. Can't wait for the next ones.
Thanks for sharing your projects, collections and garage to us like minded gear heads. Jay. I would love to see a 63-66 thunderbird convertible redone. They have a very unique luxurious yet racy looking body. It be great to see one redone like you did your 66 Ford with disc brakes all around and modern engine, geartrain and suspension. Keep up the great work.
Jay how about a tour of your entire collection. I notice many vehicle in the back ground as you do your other blogs that you have never featured....including trucks. Just a quick look at each one as you walk through. LOVE the show...keep it up!!!
Hi Jay and TY for the update. It's a treat for us to see things progressing in the shop. TY for a great 2015 worth of videos and I look forward to all the new videos and stuff for 2016. To you and your staff, have a Happy New Year! TY for all the great cars and videos you share with us gear heads.
I could live in that garage, I worked in them for about 40 years so I would be right at home. I worked on many of those 911's during the years when I worked for VW, Porsche/Audi.
Thanks for the update, Jay. I was wondering what happened to that Cunningham. Happy to see the 331 is churning out 275 horsepower. For a 50's Hemi, that's pretty healthy. That 1914 Baker Electric has come a long way, huh? It looks fantastic. I always love seeing your project updates as much as I love your regular videos.
That's a brushless motor. That thing will run forever as long as the bearings are kept clean. Glad to see brushless tech making it into the full sized automotive realm.
