Come on guys give the man a break, I am sure he was nervous being on the show and things like that. Then you would be worried about the car functioning properly, give the man break.
@Allen Tokyoo In 1967 when it was new it was a sensational exotic and featured in about every car magazine at the time. Sorry Allen Tokyoo, but I highly disagree with your assessment of this 54-year-old classic sports car.
I wonder what the next steps are after the Aluminum is shaped with a hammer. Is it smooth enough to sand and paint it? Or do you have to use filler everywhere?
Jay is a real car guy. Nothing but gratitude for what he has done. He is for sure going to be remembered as a man that left all of the cars for us to see. What an incredible thing he has done with these videos. Wish my dad was still around to see them.
If you don't know if that's his was of getting it into hands of his people so he can make an offer based on their assessment and put it in his stable... brother.... wake up

ALWAYS ADORED THE LAMBORGHINI MIURA (SEE THE ITALIAN JOB (1969), MICHEAL CAINE - SONG - ON DAYS LIKE THESE) BUT THIS 1967 BIZZARRINI 5300 GT STRADA GOES WAY BEYOND. IN THE FANTASTIC REALM, A GORGEOUS EXAMPLE OF AUTOMOTIVE ART, OOZING WITH SUBLIME SEXINESS. JAY, YOU GOT ONE OF THE GREATEST JOBS IN ALL OF HISTORY, AM ENVIOUS AND SALUTE YOU! THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK AND YOUR GOOD NATURE BROTHER!
Such a gorgeous piece of rolling art and history, this design is simply incredible. No mistaking that era of Italian cars really, there was nothing else like them, simply gorgeous! Thanks for sharing this with us!

What an absolutely beautiful automobile! Very rare to ever even SEE one of these! Did you notice how Jay was such a gentleman about the poor running condition? He blamed it on everything but the owners ex wife! Jay is a class act, and a true gentleman. Thank you Jay.

This is my absolute dream car from the very first time I saw pictures of it. When I had the chance to see it in real life, it was like meeting a hero. Amazing car! If one day I have the space to put is safe and dry, I'll definitely buy one.
I remember the cover of Car and Driver with a black Bizzarrini on the cover. This was my dream car. I finally got to get in one at Keels and Wheels in Seabrook some years ago.
Arguably the most beautiful car ever created. After completing the 1962 GTO for Ferrari Bizzarrini wanted to take the concept to the next level and this 5300 GT Strada was the outcome. It is much like the human body... When viewed as separate pieces it is not beautiful but when assembled, can be breathtaking. I love when Leno has a car on this program that he clearly pines for but doesn't own.
Thank you Mr. Leno for the history lesson, this is a car that most of us will never see on the road but we can truly appreciate it and see it live on through your channel!
@@kie-skatemods4141 no one mentioned anything woke. there's millions of hours of content on virtually any subject and that's the first place you went with it. I say this with kindness: you are wasting your life. hop off the resentment train before it's too late.
I had one of these in the late 60's, early 70's. Red 327 , very fast. Very little suspension travel, rode rough. You can see that in Jay's video.. People always wanted to race. That 327 was not slow.
This is a gorgeous car, and in that color extra striking. Perfect embodiment of 60's high life Italy style. Changes from blue to purple depending on light angle.
From all angles this car is gorgeous. You would never tire of staring at it in your garage. The front view of it driving down the road is incredible. Yes, Jay, Sea Foam is the bomb. It fixes a lot of fueling issues.
I love that Jay most likely helped this guy get it running right after having the opportunity to just drive it... Jay my rare options factory Accord came with bad piston rings out of warranty now you can drive mine too
Once again, Jay. You have the most beautiful art on the planet hanging around your shop! I know what this is! So pretty! So fast! So cool! Thanks again, my friend!
Jay, love that car! Bring it back when you get it running better. I would love to see the difference. Thank you for your channel. Where else would I get to see such a beautiful car.
Pure class..these rare machines are the best cars you could every ask for from the Italian master designers & artisans from the 60s...this man is lucky to have such a work of art like this is & glad there looked after for us to see thanks to the owner & jay....❤
Agreed, beautiful car. It would be interesting to see the problem diagnoses, resolved and a follow-up drive where the audio is corrected and the car is properly sorted.
Bizzarrini is a genius pure and simple. One of the greatest engineers ever. All of his designs or cars he was involved with have gone onto to be some of the most sought after cars ever made
God i miss Jay's Tonight Show. I remember being 5 or 6 and watching it with my parents. His jokes were funny to everyone. I wish he would live FOREVER. What a great Soul.
My absolute favourite car of all time👍👍👌👌 The first mid engined Italian supercar. I was lucky enough to own one briefly in 1969, orange, a fabulous car., and so is this one... fantastic. I've always yearned for another one. Thanks Jay for this👍👍✌️🇬🇧
What an incredible car. Love the episode. Owner super nice and modest. He really appreciates it and the back story too. Not more than Jay though. He's in love : )
Thank you for another wonderful episode Monsignor Leno. It caused me to pull out my cherished 1/24 scale model of this beauty and build it. I hope that you have many many many many more episodes to come!
Jay .. just want to thank you for sharing your awesome collection of automobiles.., and featuring others not in your collection..., I really appreciate what you do .., thank you sir ..., I believe you are a good guy .., and you are helpful to keep automotive history alive!
Dear Jay, I gave this video a thumbs up, to thank you for your body of work, but I hope you have this "Bizarre-rini" back for another show, after it's been tuned up, or whatever :) ! It does sound like it's got a plug wire off, or the Webers are out of sync, and I think as special a car as this deserves another show, with the engine tip-top, and your audio tip-top as well. Until then, I thank you, and you take good care & be very well! David Pearce, Fredericksburg, Va.
@@ArtVandelayOfficial Obviously unaware of the possibility of destroying a Toyota. If you're a corn farmer, I respect that. If not, maybe get some information.
@@ArtVandelayOfficial Maybe if it was a modern car programmed to run on E85, I'm pretty sure that the 10% added to regular gas is not helpful to cars or their efficiency.
@@aliceshaw8265 "Leftists and the EPA"? It was the Trump administration that recently wanted to force the EPA to approve a higher percentage of ethanol in gasoline... to reward farmers for being a reliable voting bloc for him. I live in a farm state, so I'm 100% aware that except for a very few high-pollution areas where some kind of oxygen-bearing additive is needed during the summer months, ethanol in gas is just a "welfare for farmers" program. I use it because our state's [Republican] government gives it a tax break, so it's usually about 20 cents per gallon cheaper than non-ethanol gas, but I don't have any illusion that it's anything but a subsidy. Still, if you're going to subsidize somebody, farmers are a good choice, because in the event of trade disruptions, it's hard to switch people's metabolisms to "alternative fuels"...
Beautiful car, glad Jay is still active and showing us history every so often. He certainly picks unique pieces and definitely a positive influence on the younger generation (even if they don't know his greatness from late night)
@@toomanyhobbies2011: No, that insanity, which is worse in LA, has been lifted... for now. Then there are those of us who ignore such stuff, as we ignored the 55 speed limit. Remember that mishugas?
Continuing with Jays theme of foreign sports cars “inspired” with American muscle, the one I was enamored by was the early ‘70’s Pantera. Italian styling, Ford 351 Cleveland engine. Wonderful car! Thanks Jay!
@Dominick Hey! You’re right, if it’s in poor condition and needing a full restoration, they’re selling in the low $20,000’s. But ones in excellent condition have sold for $330,000! Good condition specimens are selling in the high $70,000’s. There have been 88 go up for sale in recent years bear these figures out. The one I test drove in 1971 was selling for just under $12,000.
Love the show Jay, and watching you over the years. No one out there more deserving of having the world’s most famous car collection. Thanks for sharing. Part of my routine every Saturday morning to make coffee and breakfast and sit down to watch the latest episode. Like kid getting up for cartoons 😊👍. Makes for a great start to the weekend.
The Bizzarini V12 formed the core of Lamborghni´s product rage, from the Miura to the Murcielago. All modernized versions of the former F1 engine from Bizzarini. Respect!
I enjoyed the strange audio, I could still understand what Jay was saying, and it sounded like he was strapped into an angry demon that kept trying to escape. What a car.
Technically speaking the mic/cam is mounted right on top of the engine, I can imagine there was some vibration coming along through the dash there considering he said the spark plugs were underneath lol.
One of my favorite things on Jay's show are the shots of him driving the cars out of his garage/museum. Too bad the audio trouble, I sure wanted to hear that 327 with the webers in that beautiful sports car. 👍💝
Thank you Jay! You may have helped me solve a decades-old mystery with this video. I Caine from a family of automotive lunatics. Even as a young child, there was no car or motorcycle that escaped my notice. I felt I knew about everything, until one day when I was around 11-12yo, I was touring the backyard of an automotive repair lot here in Western MA and saw a gorgeous car sitting on a trailer. It was nothing I had ever seen before or since. I crawled all over it and tried to learn as much as I could. The car had obviously been sitting a long time, but it was in decent condition. I asked the mechanics what it was and they just said...”It’s some Italian job!” As you guessed, that made me more curious. I crawled all over it again and this time popped the hood. It had an in-line six that looked just like the engine in my Dad’s 240Z, with Nissan written on the valve cover. Years went by and that car finally disappeared from the back lot when the garage shut down. If Bizzarrini ever made a car using the Z-Car running gear, than I am certain that car was a Bizzarrini. As I remember, I think the body was aluminum, painted “root beer brown.” If Bizzarrini never used Nissan running gear, than I am back at square one. I am 53 yo now, so when I saw this car was 40 years ago. If anybody out there has any info. Let me know. It’s the one car that escaped me. Would love to know what it was.
I agree. The stance takes a while to appreciate. It's purposely engineered into the design. It "centers" the weight for road-hugging stability & better handling when cornering. This odd design provides full advantage of the frontal "midengine" placement. The vents on the front fenders are functional. They provide an escape for incoming air. At high speeds, these fender vents will keep the nose from lifting. The rear fender vents provide an exit to keep air from compressing in the wheel wells. There-by, making the rear of the car stable at high speeds. Best regards, Ben
@@172-e5s I agree. The stance takes a while to appreciate. It's purposely engineered into the design...to "center" the weight for road-hugging stability & better handling when cornering. This odd design provides full advantage of the frontal "midengine" placement. In reality, the raised front is an optical illusion...viewing from either side. The use of a "slightly" different size tire on the front would soften the illusion. But I wouldn't advise it. When viewed front-on, it's difficult to discern the very slight lift//rise in the front. The front fenders are high to accommodate the complex suspension, chassis & steering components. Viewed from the side, the fender hump & the "tucked-under" nose gives an illusion of the car angling upward. In reality, the centerline of this car is virtually level from rear to front. Best regards, Ben
According to Hemmings the original sale price of these cars was $10,500 or roughly $78,500 in today's dollars, so it was cheap in comparison to the Ferrari. Beautiful car and the ability to easily find driveline parts make it a better buy even more!
Hi Jay, another excellent video, great car. I am in lockdown in Melbourne Australia, my partner left me last week and this has given me the chance to watch your show from my big bed. I can put a big cup of coffee on the bedside table, toast and jam in bed. I roll the sheet up go outside and throw it in the air to get the crumbs out. I have noticed when you do an engine inspection on some of your guests cars the motor is shiny, carbies polished yet there are wires hanging off the motor, a couple of clips to hold them on the engine bay wall and the fuel vacuum etc criss cross. I like to see the engine bay look like the car's interior. The Bizzarrini engine bay is a good example of Gucci at his best. Thanks. Ps I am getting a cleaning lady to come in twice a week, clean, cook and I will do the bread crumbs.
I think this is one of the best filmed videos done on this channel. Or is it just the amazing car? The high stationary shots made me fall in love with this car. I have known these cars for many years but will always go back to this video to remind me why.
Bizzarrini is making a comeback they made Bizzarrini 5300 gt revival corsa this year only 24 were made. There is only 1 video of it on UA-cam so far and its on Yutaka Yamagishi channel. Looks absolutely beautiful. Ferrari has competition...........
One of these cars appears in the movie the Eiger Sanction briefly in the parking lot when Clint Eastwood arrives at the resort to prep for the climb with George Kennedy.
Gorgeous car. I hope Jay's boys were able to help sort those Webers. One thing about sexy old cars with sexy looking engines- they needed to be tuned often. It probably ran great 5 months ago.
This car deserves a second video after it`s tuned up and the audio / video issues are fixed. Beautiful car!
needs a waxing. several smudges. the blue interior is really tacky.
In case you missed it!

Beautiful beautiful car. Jay knows more about the car than the owner. Jay can teach automotive history anywhere.
I think he bought the car to be on Leno's video, lots of money, for 30- minutes of Fame😬

All-aluminum and not a straight line anywhere… how many hours of master-skill labor to create such a body? My admiration is boundless.
I saw one of these , it the national corvette museum in bowling green ky. it is corvette powered i loved it .

Aluminium is a lot easier to form than steel.
@@Oldcarnut63 what's corvette powered? the engines are made by Chevrolet.
I wonder what the next steps are after the Aluminum is shaped with a hammer. Is it smooth enough to sand and paint it?

Great car , great artisans in Italy , especially in that era of the 60's
Cool car, always love these sorts of cars you don't see as much.
Wow, never seen one of these before. Arguably the prettiest car of the era.
A beauty for sure
As a 30 something car enthusiast--this kind of "review" really gets me excited!
Most beautiful car I’ve seen on your show yet! And that’s saying something
I watched the video 2 times already, absolutely stunning
What a unique car. I hadn’t heard of them. Really beautiful.
Jay is drooling over that Bizzarrini.
one of the best videos up until now, jay. big respect for your channel.
Thank you Jay! You may have helped me solve a decades-old mystery with this video. I Caine from a family of automotive lunatics. Even as a young child, there was no car or motorcycle that escaped my notice. I felt I knew about everything, until one day when I was around 11-12yo, I was touring the backyard of an automotive repair lot here in Western MA and saw a gorgeous car sitting on a trailer. It was nothing I had ever seen before or since. I crawled all over it and tried to learn as much as I could. The car had obviously been sitting a long time, but it was in decent condition. I asked the mechanics what it was and they just said...”It’s some Italian job!” As you guessed, that made me more curious. I crawled all over it again and this time popped the hood. It had an in-line six that looked just like the engine in my Dad’s 240Z, with Nissan written on the valve cover. Years went by and that car finally disappeared from the back lot when the garage shut down. If Bizzarrini ever made a car using the Z-Car running gear, than I am certain that car was a Bizzarrini. As I remember, I think the body was aluminum, painted “root beer brown.” If Bizzarrini never used Nissan running gear, than I am back at square one. I am 53 yo now, so when I saw this car was 40 years ago. If anybody out there has any info. Let me know. It’s the one car that escaped me. Would love to know what it was.
This car has a stance, like a Gasser! The front looks like it will flip up, when the magic speed is obtained!
The stance is all wrong. Kinda ruins it for me
I agree. The stance takes a while to appreciate. It's purposely engineered into the design. It "centers" the weight for road-hugging stability & better handling when cornering.
This odd design provides full advantage of the frontal "midengine" placement.
The vents on the front fenders are functional. They provide an escape for incoming air.
At high speeds, these fender vents will keep the nose from lifting.
The rear fender vents provide an exit to keep air from compressing in the wheel wells.
There-by, making the rear of the car stable at high speeds.
Best regards,
Ben
@@172-e5s I agree. The stance takes a while to appreciate. It's purposely engineered into the design...to "center" the weight for road-hugging stability & better handling when cornering. This odd design provides full advantage of the frontal "midengine" placement.
In reality, the raised front is an optical illusion...viewing from either side.
The use of a "slightly" different size tire on the front would soften the illusion.
But I wouldn't advise it.
When viewed front-on, it's difficult to discern the very slight lift//rise in the front.
The front fenders are high to accommodate the complex suspension, chassis & steering components.
Viewed from the side, the fender hump & the "tucked-under" nose gives an illusion of the car angling upward. In reality, the centerline of this car is virtually level from rear to front.
Best regards,
Ben
Gasser?????? More like a go kart with a body...
Thanks for not editing out the discrepancies, keeps it real!
Jay! I can't thank you enough for sharing your passion and your collection of beautiful cars!
That’s the most beautiful car I have ever seen!
The cars of Iso are my favorite that Bizzarini had his hand in. So cool.
cool car definitely lots of soul in this one like being with live organism you can feel the heat and the vibration.
Absolutely magnificent piece of exquisite machinery! Beautiful in every respect.
I wish Jay would adopt me. LOL! A true car guy and automotive historian! Great episode on the iconic Bizzarrini.
Easy contender for most beautiful car on the planet ever made.
The Mars Rover is the coolest vehicle ever made. Hand down
Jay! Why do you not have one of these??!?? Just an amazingly beautiful machine. Such a work of art! Thank you.
Gorgeous!!! 3 consecutive episodes with blue cars on Jay Leno's Garage in a row! 💙💙💙
Gorgeous car, incredible sound, and a freakin cool name!
According to Hemmings the original sale price of these cars was $10,500 or roughly $78,500 in today's dollars, so it was cheap in comparison to the Ferrari. Beautiful car and the ability to easily find driveline parts make it a better buy even more!
Hi Jay, another excellent video, great car. I am in lockdown in Melbourne Australia, my partner left me last week and this has given me the chance to watch your show from my big bed. I can put a big cup of coffee on the bedside table, toast and jam in bed. I roll the sheet up go outside and throw it in the air to get the crumbs out. I have noticed when you do an engine inspection on some of your guests cars the motor is shiny, carbies polished yet there are wires hanging off the motor, a couple of clips to hold them on the engine bay wall and the fuel vacuum etc criss cross. I like to see the engine bay look like the car's interior. The Bizzarrini engine bay is a good example of Gucci at his best. Thanks. Ps I am getting a cleaning lady to come in twice a week, clean, cook and I will do the bread crumbs.
This is like "Speed Racer" or a Hot Wheels come to life, and I mean that in only the best of ways!
Bro you nailed it! It is shaped like the speed racer car!
Looks like an Italian masterpiece to me
YES! SPEED RACER!!!!
What a gorgeous car! Never had seen it before. Shame it wasn't running correctly for the video, but I'm sure it's running great by now.
What a car! Beautiful!! It’s like a beautiful woman reclining on a chaise longue. And what a colour! 🥰
The most beautiful car ever hands down!!!
"its running a little rough" yeah, Jay....we can all hear the misfire lol

I think this is one of the best filmed videos done on this channel. Or is it just the amazing car? The high stationary shots made me fall in love with this car. I have known these cars for many years but will always go back to this video to remind me why.
Bizzarrini is making a comeback they made Bizzarrini 5300 gt revival corsa this year only 24 were made. There is only 1 video of it on UA-cam so far and its on Yutaka Yamagishi channel. Looks absolutely beautiful. Ferrari has competition...........
One of these cars appears in the movie the Eiger Sanction briefly in the parking lot when Clint Eastwood arrives at the resort to prep for the climb with George Kennedy.
I haven't heard of that one! What was the color of the car?
OMG!!!!!! JAY. YOU a Legend standing beside a Legend.❤
Gorgeous car. I hope Jay's boys were able to help sort those Webers. One thing about sexy old cars with sexy looking engines- they needed to be tuned often. It probably ran great 5 months ago.
Dump Seafoam, go to sleep, dump more seafoam, then crank it over.
@@aussie2uGA maybe. But seafoam ain't tuneup in a can.
Agree, from limited experience with SU's. I'd like to have that problem! 'Life is so wonderful! --excuse me while I fiddle with these Weber's.'
Those Webers have blocked idle jets.There's likely some contamination if it has been sitting. Once set up correctly they rarely need "tuning".
If it was restored in Italy 8 months ago. the Webbers were most certainly setup for European gas, not California pump gas.
