Shelby GT500 Powered 1968 Ford Bronco - Jay Leno’s Garage 

which is the real bronco the left over parts or the highly modified one?

@@Eduardo_Espinoza good point. It's just a modified bronco body sitting on a hand made truck.

@Odorous Smegma the guy who gave his bronco to Jay

@Odorous Smegma The best talkshow host ever in the world, legendary former Scottish and drunken musician, Craig Ferguson from Glasgow, who turned into the most American and most likable late show talkshow host whom really connected with his guests because he threw away the prepared question cards and started a conversation. Men liked him, ladies loved him. He was the best interviewer there has ever been, and a colleague of Jay Leno. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig_Ferguson He won a Peabody award and many other awards. He stopped after 10 years hosting The Late Late Show on CBS, hosting 2058 episodes.. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Late_Late_Show_with_Craig_Ferguson

He's a good guy! I just started my channel and I take trucks into the mountains to wreck em. Hoping to make a few folks laugh along the way!

Certainly everyone at LGE-CTS Motorsports must've had big,stupid grins when they got the Call from Ford Icons and Leno.

Of course he did... he’s a real dude... and a good man. Celebrities almost always disappoint... I’d be shocked if he’s not like this in every day life.

JAY YOU NEED TO STAY OUT OF THAT BRONCO . GOOD THING THERE WERE NO COP AROUND WHEN YOU WERE DRIVING THAT MONSTER .

o big esta em it's seguro na conta .

"box guy" sounds like you meet girls on the weekends in back alleys.

​@@macgeek21 be quiet kid

I was thinking the same thing, he’s giggling. Grew up with a buddy that had one ….. didn’t sound or move like that, well done guys and gals

That will be $150,000. Cash, now. It may have a few miles on it when you get it.

@@darrellcooling7670 good time miles

You can’t afford it.

@person who sees this and works for ford me Too Please○ in 22 I'll be waiting on that reply

You can't afford it

Marketing: I love it when a plan comes together! (lights cigar)

All marketing, guess what day they are releasing the new Bronco.

hahahah!

@@gimmejr OJ's birthday?

It must suck to be poor and jealous

The super-short wheelbase made these Very tippy! I almost killed myself in one with a 302 in my twenties.

1 hp for every foot the hill is tall

Great quote from a great man lol

Again SEMA garage

New broncos look like land Rover they steal from the master design guys

I miss Craig show :/

It cracks me up that he gave him a project car for a present. "So the gift is a bill for $50k in parts and labor, shaped like a car? Thanks."

It was planned

He could probably have it. They obviously didn't use much of it. The original chassis and drivetrain and probably the body (noticed the cut wheel wells are now intact) are somewhere.

Dang you, beat me to it! lol

They hooked the throttle up to the vibrating seat.

@@dr.lexwinter8604 bud the whole car street, intersection be vibrating it has 760 ponies 🐎 trying to break free

And So Am I.

I would have totaled it in less than a week.

I would have sunk it in a FL swamp in the 80’s

I think it would kill me now, let alone when I was 17. And lets just say, 17 was quite a while ago...

My first vehicle is a bronco and I haven't totaled it yet. Yet.

16....and a day

When can he actually hear the radio? Once he lays in to the go bar that thing roars. All he hears is motor :)

Same here!

When I was kid my dad took his 305 out of a 78 Camaro and put a 383 stroker in it and put true dual Flowmaster 40s on there. I remember asking him why you never listen to the radio and he said a similar thing, "The engine is my radio."

Exactly. Awesome quote

G P. Couldn’t agree more. Series 40 are such a signature sound. I love them on 5.0 Foxbodys. I have Flowmaster outlaws now only Coyote. Love them. They’re just not the same.

They did it with the raptor, I'm sure they might think about it

Apparently the new bronco can’t fit anything bigger than a 3.0L ecoboost motor because of the size restrictions in the engine bay

@@SMoon453 - I would just house the engine in the back. What's trunk space? Or passengers for that matter?

islandbee I mean the bronco is designed specifically for a front engine setup, they’d have to rework the chassis a lot to fit the engine in the back

@@SMoon453 - That's true. But if they can do it with SHOgun, I'm sure they could with the Bronco. I'm sure Jay Leno would be all up on it. He would be one of the first customers on that short list.

It looked black on the NBC show too, and that was shot outside.

I guess it's just one of those colours that really don't come across well on camera. It's a shame for all of us who will never get the chance to see it in person.

Yes it looks black when Jay is next to it talking about it, I thought it was deep black😲

That's very similar to the Ford color, Midnight Blue from the '50's.

In fact not black but like a priest's socks, a very, very dark blue.

Was thinking similarly. He has enough money to pay for such things, but because of his fame and audience he gets speedy, VIP service and probably free. Good for him. And us!

@C L Exactlyyyyyy! That exposure is definitely a plus for Ford. Jay seems to be an extremely good guy. He reminds me of the cool uncle who wants you to use his cool stuff without reservation or fear.

@C L Yeah, my uncle was of modest means, but shared his prized possessions with pride and openness. Seemed to be so I could appreciate the finer things and aspire to attain my own dreams.

@C L My experience says the same. Salt of the earth usually beats upper crust any day of the week.

@C L I must agree. Smaller towns always seem to have better quality people. My theory is: 1) Reputation - If you do someone wrong, you will more than likely run into them, have mutual friends or family ties. 2) More focus on family and community, so longer term planning and compassion. 3) People remain human, not numbers. Less competitive for status and money, so less cut throat towards other people.

Horse Power is a fountain of youth. Ponce DeLeon was looking for a LS7

Oh my GOD PLEASE DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

So which one of the people above are you a staff writer for? :)

Ferguson moved back to Scotland.

Great idea👏🏻👏🏻

Alan Cohn it sure is, with that big ol shifter, man I lost 5 years just watching.

Yeah Jay always says he likes to keep things original but then he sticks a 700 horsepower motor in a 102 horsepower Bronco

That wasn't time travel. The G forces generated by driving that fast smoothed all the wrinkles out of his face.

Right. Forget Hefner and the Manson I want to go to Lenos Garage!

Glad you said that too. I thought my monitor was acting up. I think Jay mentioned a few weeks ago he shoots these on his iPhone so that's why they look "contrasty" and dark colors are pushed toward black.

Well the car is not blue in the video. It's dark black. Im on a color corrected monitor and if it's supposed to be blue, then they made an error :)

There are a few closeup shots at the start in the garage where you can see its blue.

@@sighheinrich blame crApple for their garbage video compression.

I was going to say that this paint job is horrendous 😫

@Wendy Black dddddddddddddddddddddddddd##ddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd#"¹)

2 door Bronco made in Mexico

😂😂😂😂

It wasn’t his glove 🧤

The one time a bronco DIDN'T roll over was the day OJ initiated a high speed chase.😭 That could have been a dark advertisement in Ford's favor back then...

Remember, OJ didn't drive that day. He was a holding himself Polish hostage.

Richard Smith how is someone supposed to get a glove on when they are wearing sticky latex gloves?

But he should take his heart medicine ..the way Jay drive will kill him lol

.. reminiscent of that Henry Ford II joyride scene from Ford vs Ferrari ....

Craig is a commie dem.

He actually did that on Jay Leno's Garage (the NBC show) for Season 6 Episode 6 :)

sus

I can't stand his voice

Love the feel too..like you're just hanging out talking cars and it's history

@iTheGeek Only goes to show that Americans will consume anything. Even a boring show hosted by a man who is a cheat, a coward and greedy. Enjoy.

@@SD-pi9co What is wrong with Jay Leno?

Mxsmanic not just you, lighting fail yet awesome nonetheless

@@terranempire2 yeah the lighting was terrible. Especially when they did close ups with Jay and the engine bay... Still an incredible vehicle 👌

It was like an awesome surprise seeing that deep blue

Allen www.thedrive.com/news/30858/jay-lenos-1968-ford-bronco-is-powered-by-a-shelby-gt500-supercharged-v-8-engine it’s blue.

If you were visiting Jay would he set up lights along with the camera? It feels like we're just visiting and Jay is showing us 1 of his cars..... Maybe he can open his next video with a monologue?

Rip Alexander Trebec

Crushed it.

I can't imagine a sport that would suit this competitor. Death Race 2000 maybe.

That's the one thing keeping me from the 2020 gt500

@@markrossi6773 really? The one thing keeping me from the new GT500 is the $80k price tag.

@@orion681 compared to what's out there 80 isn't bad...the problem is most dealers are asking 100k plus

they did it because the new bronco is the same way.. it has a manual option

@@markrossi6773 except a 40k tesla or 20k used you can get a 2012 tesla thats faster

where

Bizarre coincidence!

Doubt it's a coinidence

Probably so, but I'll take it!

omg what a conspiracy

And test the sphincter control of everyone he drives by ....

Well the motor is called The Predator for a reason

Is going kill a jeep or a Chevy 😂

For some reason, I feel the urge to go watch 'Death Proof' now...

@@fredlabosch5164 Snake Plissken still rulz! :-p

So if a 3rd party company did the exact same thing you wouldn’t like it? Just a funny thought lol

@@OneWayPlace people are weird like that. I will never understand that mindset. I'm building a 78 ford granada restomod and i got halo led and bluetooth radio lmao

The sound is right!

Restomods too often deviate too far from the original design, feel, and purpose, destroying classic rare vehicles, when they should just be properly restored in a quality way using quality oem parts when possible. This vehicle is great because it’s still Ford, by Ford, and classy, keeping its heritage look. This vehicle will appreciate, whereas most restomods massively depreciate the value of the vehicle. There’s a reason stock unmodified classic cars are becoming so valuable... Their character and feel have not been destroyed. That original patina is nostalgic, and real.

@@user-tb5ns7hc5i I understand why they are valuable, but I am a car enthusiast. I like driving my cars very regularly. Those super original cars and restorations belong in collections and museums.I love the musuems and collections, but it's not something I'd spend my money on unless I was rich. . I think that for people who drive their cars, restomods are infinitely better. I am a broke college student and I daily my classic (along with a motorcycle). Restomods allow for modernizing and upgrading while retaining the soul of a classic. I am not saying I hate restorations, but for a vehicle that is gonna be driven regularly, restomods are better. "but this is an OEM factory built masterpiece". It really isn't OEM factory built in my opinion. The drive train is over a half a century younger. Sure it happens to also be Ford, but in this case they are so wildly apart in generation I wouldn't call this OEM at all. I mean yes, it's OEM by definition but we're talking 1968 Ford vs 2020 Ford. Basically 2 different companies ran by completely different people and completely different engineers but happen to share history. This Bronco could be powered by a Hellcat, and it would be just as cool.

yep

@Walter K Bauer *Careful*, Icarus.... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SIJRqyxxnSk.html

@Walter K Bauer My pleasure. CF was gone before his time (the dummy!) and had the best late night show going back then.

@Walter K Bauer I totally agree on your assessment of current late night offerings. All of them snarky and political, none of them actually funny. Funny left town when CF and Leno left. BTW, Leno was on CF's show more than once and vice versa and was always special when it happened. Cheers, Ed

Seriously

Aren't projects supposed to be cooler than off the shelf stuff?

Same!

Yeah, I'm not really into cars, but I watch religiously because his passion inspires me. I have passion for the stock market and classical guitar, but it's the same thing as his passion for cars.

Now there is a 450 wrangler

Glad God sent us Leno so we can all live out our automobile fantasies

Sadiq Mohamed On par with the Sho-Gun 😄

They did haha it was actually a recent episode

@@JBS7551 Cool. I had to google it and looks like its just on CNBC right now.

SID THE CUSSIN' BUNNY CAM!!!

I'd say even better to have Mr. Ferguson behind the wheel.

@@michaelbullington3182 that might be too dangerous, he can't start behind the wheel for sure, but once introduced to the absurdity maybe he can drive home.

They’ve done it look it up

Yeah, but Craig would be lookin' for the wheel on the other side!!!

Someone will die driving this for sure, its just matter of time...

Better learn how to LIFT.

YOU can’t

You could have anything if your pocket book is deep enough

He said he needed have Ford rig that job, so would cost a fortune, I didn't know in 2020, you can't have it?, I had 07 was manual, and is the only way to fly

Did you notice that it has adjustable travel limiters on the front end just like high powered drag cars?

This needs to happen.

But Jay got dressed up in a SUIT for the reveal of the C8 Corvette. The Bronco doesn't rate that high.

C L today, July 13th ... in one hour is their reveal.

Yup!

Unfortunately, not gonna happen.

Not gonna happen. The manual transmission is a thing of the past😕👎

Fortunately , not gonna happen.

Not. The electronic shifting is proved faster and better than humans can do it. Just accept the fact. Manual is....dead in the future. The future is now.

i was gonna say not parked but it doesn't have a head rest if 0 mph to .1 mph is a speed

@ ugh wasn't 65 the first year of the bronco? How could he. Say that about earlier models

I'm 20 years older than you...

@@ghw7192 And I'm 30 years older ... :)

I'm 8 years older than you. I guess I'm the youngen after you. 😂😂

Born in 88 , thank you guys for making me feel young again 😁

@@die4race You missed 28 of the best American years my friend...:(...

God damn it 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

IF they could find the body-parts!!

It would be a game changer for crowd's.

@@Sheridantank The police could use them for crowd control.🤣😂

Not gonna happen.

That Bronco is mint condition would be worth $500,000

Cool!

I say the same thing in my modded Trackhawk. LOL

Sooner or later, you are definitely gonna talk to a cop...

@G Riv Poor (or none) post production color correction.

There was one shot from the back when it looked blue.

He does not know how to operate camera. I do not understand why he just does not bring 1 cameraman... I mean they could still keep the distance etc. due to the virus.

@Foto4Max Yes he is, he was talking about it in last couple of videos, he is filming it alone due to cortaonvirus.

@@Spazik86 hes not doing those establishing shots dude. And i dont think hes doing that at all anynore. I think hes now got a skeleton crew. Idk but hes 100% not filming this. Those are trolly shots.

Craig was on a recent episode and jay showed him
