Not only who dislikes why is there 12k + views and only 1k likes. Doesn't make sense u can't watch jay Leno and not like it. Even when I personally don't like the car I still watch the whole video and still leave a like
Artur Grochowski agreed, partly to see the look on peoples' faces when a sunburnt 50 year old Volvo estate takes off like a Saturn V rocket at the lights
fUP420babe Not too sure on the wheels, old cars don't look nice on thin skins, but the rest was nice, the rear door was a nice "forward"back to the current models :)
Mr Leno has created something truly amazing with this collecting ,and speeking as a car nut my self, I can't think of another program or museum that contributes this much to the automotive world as Mr Jay Leno , america should be very proud.
That old hotrod is a wonder and a joy to see. The workmanship and detail makes me want to just sit and study it. Scrounging parts before the advent of catalogs and the Internet was a job in itself.
Jay, put a Hellcat Red motor in something. It's great to see a guy that actually knows what he's talking about, especially hes doesn't try to speak to us like we're idiots.
Eric Mura Amen. He seems like the only car collected who has soft spot in his heart for literally every kind of vehicle there is. As well as he just has a very creative imagination when it comes to building cars like that Volvo.
It will be a shame when the California fault line breaks and all these wonderful, cars, bikes, and that 30's Harley generator go into the Pacific Ocean.
That cunningham is a dream car. Out of this world cool and beautiful. Also that hot rod was dripping with character. That's a rolling picasso in it's own respect.
The restorations are why I follow this site. Anybody with a gullible banker can get ahold of the newest supercars, it takes commitment, or someone who should be committed, to have the resources and obsession to get this stuff done. I also like how Jay likes to keep cars looking stock, clean sleepers will always be cooler than a plain Jane car covered with high performance stickers.
mustie1 JayLenosGarage yes I agree, great update! would be nice to see more videos like this. I really like the collection, Jay. I must say you've always had a good taste in vehicles. I especially look forward to the completion of the Mercedes and the Volvo. those should be very interesting cars.
Dear Jay, Please never stop these videos. Even if a tall wavy haired Irish fella wants to give it a shot. They're great, educational and fascinating. Thank you. Assyl Dubai, UAE
In my opinion, I think you should keep the Volvo completely stock, let it carry on being a sensible, Swedish estate car like it was designed to do. Race it, rally it sure but I think giving it flashy modern wheels, fluorescent blue paint and a body kit on a car like that is just....wrong.
Pope-Eye A bone stock production car with a work-a-day-world 1.8 liter plant doesn't get anybody's heart throbbing. I like Jay's idea: all Volvo, but top shelf, modern, high performance, all in a vintage platform. That's gonna be way cool!
The thing i like about Jay's garage is that he doesn't just throw money at cars to get them done quickly. He has his mechanics take their time and it will be finished when they get around to it. No flipping cars for profit, just pure restoration with dedication. Just as I typed this he says that he's not "Overhaulin'" lol. Keep the videos coming jay! these project videos are just as interesting if not more because we see multiple cars in each video. That's something you could add when you cover a single car say like a the lotus, show us and explain other years and models of the lotus as well if you have them all in the same video. Just quick panning shots of the car as you talk would be great, you don't have to go into full history on the car just the little tidbits you already share is more than enough and interesting. Your editors already do some of that but more would be appreciated as well.
I always love the restoration videos. You always get some of the strangest and coolest stuff no one will ever see anywhere else. I love that old Hot Rod. I can envision an ICON Derelict like project for the Volvo, it would be the perfect sleeper project.
My step mother had that same model Volvo. I can still remember the smell of the all vinyl interior. Unfortunately, she traded it away for a POS new Ford Fairmount.
For the Merlin I think keeping the old magneto is neat but it's something that could be updated with a modern EFI, crank sensor, and coil. That Mercedes-Benz truck is amazing and beautiful. It's a head turner for sure.
dlwatib A Nissan Leaf powertrain is likely way too much for the car as it is, as paltry as that is. Putting a Tesla powerplant in this is a straight waste of resources that could never be used.
Jay finally ran out of garage space! That poor old Volvo wagon has to sit outside until they finish some other projects and make some room for it inside. From the looks of some of them, it's going to be many months. That Volvo resto-mod is gonna be sick! Can't wait for the video of that.
WOW! Jay let's his guys have time and space in his workshop (and the facilities) to work on THEIR OWN classic vehicle projects. WHat a kind hearted man,
Can we have more regular restoration updates please? Would like to see the metalwork on the Lotus Cortina and maybe get some tips for doing my own e.g. welding thin metal, dent removal, panel fabrication & replacement etc. Best videos on UA-cam keep them coming please :o)
The series originated on his own personal website about 10 years ago. NBC took over his site and revamped it when he retired. A lot of content was lost and the episodes only go back like 3 years now.
I don't know if you're a truck guy or not, but I'm a sucker for old trucks and the mods people do to them to make them off road or mud trucks. My all time favorite truck is a 79 ford, they just seem to look wonderful when lifted with big tires. Their body style just seems to handle large tires perfectly. there are plenty of them around and I'm sure you'd be able to find one pretty easily. Although I don't know how much "mudding" they'd do in CA. There is a truck on /muscle called "sloppy" I suggest you watch that video to give you an idea of what I'm talking about. It's far more likely you'd find something like that out in CA than a mud truck.
Hi Jay, i watch almost all your episodes every week.I am from India and i seriously think that you should do a piece on the Hindustan ambassador which is originally a morris oxford series 2. This car stayed in production for almost 50 years. We would really love if you do an episode on this .
I'd say keep the Volvo looking like it is now too. Resist the temptation to lower it or put wide wheels on it, drop in the Polestar V8 and you're good to go. :)
I really like your updates on all the projects. They are the most interesting. More, please! ...and thanks for another great video. Can't wait to see the car hauler and Bernard's sidecar bike all finished and operational.
Jay, Nice to see you are putting some work into a Volvo, I got threee Volvo's myself which is to be restored, I just retrived a Garage so I can work somewhere instead of on the street as I do now.. I have a page on Facebook called Let's save some Volvo's! , which I'm glad and proud to say gotten quite popular in my home country... Oh and Jay, my name is Christopher, 20 years old and live in Sweden.. One day I will save upp to afford a trip to America, and then I will knock on your garage, Even though I don't know where it's located, but I would realy love to talk about cars with you! Best regard! Chriss!
Quality doesn't mean slow, those guys are just milking the clock. They have every tool they could possibly need to work with but the one they use the most is Jay's endless pocket. They work like they are retired and that is just a hobby they dabble in.
Jay is correct, cortinas in England of that age are very rare..rust is a big killer of cars over here. You might also like the MK3 ford cortina '70 to '76 the 2 door sedans are awesome 😀
The thing about watching someone who as a gazillion dollars to nurse all these vehicles to beyond their new state is that everything is so damned organized (relatively speaking) and everything is done to absolute perfection. This is the answer to every guy who every said "If I won the lottery, then I'd...."
The late father of one of my mates founded Volvo Australia. In a fit of something,he decided they needed to build a hot volvo for the London Sydney rally. So they got repco to build a volvo 4 cyl. race engine for it(as in Repco Brabham ...) ...one of those would be a neat thing for the wagon.
What an absolutely fantastic line up of projects in the works. Love it all. As for the Volvo, I thought to myself since the AMG V8 wasn't being used, it could be interesting in the wagon, UNTIL you brought up having a Polestar V8 in the thing. Guess the AMG V8 must wait some more. Though it has to be said, what a great problem to have; wondering what to do with a mint 6.2L AMG V8 just sitting in your garage. :)
Omg Jay! That's so great that you finally got a Volvo Amazon (122S)! I've been waiting so long for you to get one of these. (I even posted it as a suggestion once). I've got one and I love it! I'm sure you'll love it too! :D
Amazons are great. good looks and reliable. But i´m not sure about the V8 plans. I´d rather go with one of these 450hp I4 engines, that Volvo tested 1-2 years ago.
Yes, Jay - -please DO the Polestar Volvo. That pic you had there looks awesome. Go Scott McLaughlin and James Moffat - Garry Rogers Motorsport - Australian V8-Supercars
what you need for the Volvo Jay is Volvo's R5 T motor that they only had for one year (1995) for their racing station wagons. it can be easily tuned to 600bhp with a bigger turbo and better rods and pistons etc. THEN you'd have something. :)
From the Detroit Electric to the Harley Davidson generator, all of them are worth a video by themselves...but then the Volvo shows up at the end and I had to remind myself that you had featured anything else at all! :) Personally, I would like to see her restored rather than modified. Which shouldn't be too difficult given that pretty much any Volvo part is available (be it made under licence, reconditioned, or new-old), and if you did have to go with another engine - perhaps a later Volvo engine? But otherwise restore her to her former glory, at least getting her into running and roadworthy condition as-is before going any further.
Love the show, always informative. However I hope Jay Leno can do something, ANYTHING to get GM to build that Cadillac Elmiraj, AS IT IS. I think it was Maxim who wrote an article pleading with Cadillac to manufacture it, saying that concept cars have recently become something along the lines of "Hey, this is what your car could look like, but just not as cool." ELMIRAJ PLEASE
I didn't know Harley-Davidson made generators, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised. They used to make all kinds of stuff, early dirt bikes, mopeds, even golf carts. A mini golf course in my hometown had the remains of one of their carts rusting away on their property for years. Maybe it's still there, I'll have to check sometime.
Mr. Leno told in the Zenvo video that he had at Danish Nimbus motocycle, and as a Dane and Nimbus lover i would love to see you make a video about that if Mr. Leno still has it Best regards ond thanks for All the videos on UA-cam Jacob Rasmussen Denmark
Love the video Jay, I was really looking forward on an update with the Frazer-nash, I saw it disassembled next to the baker on a previous video, is it going back together? I also would not mind an update on the aero engine benz, and the panhard. thanks
There's a high performance Volvo wagon floating around somewhere that Paul Newman built, it's a good bit newer than Jays, maybe 1980s, I've seen it on a few shows. That home built hill climber can't be worth anything, it's nice of Jay to offer to do something with it.
You should start an intern/apprentice program with a local college/tech school, and get some of those guys to help you out with some of these projects.
When I was a kid, back in the late 60's I had a friend who's brother built funny cars and he had two friends who both drove a little bulbus car called a Morris Minor. Do you have one in your inventory or know someone who does, I'd love to see one again and hear a little of it's history.
you should totally do the volvo just like the picture you should, maybe even keep the same wheels if those are even the stock ones and paint them black to make it look like a total sleeper car
640hp Volvo V8 is V8 Supercar stuff from a special build 5 litres.Undriveable on the road. Reputedly the 4.4 version [the only version and discontinued] used in SUVs was a good engine though they are quite bulky. Keep it near original, maybe a 2 series efi 4 which should be near bolt in. No ball of fire but do go ok and cruise at 75 mph.
that hand made one looks almost like a Jeep Rod like an original CJ2A type deal.. It'd be cool to see it bodied like that or like a Ford 2dr roadster type thing, I think that fits the 50's well.. Then again it could do well as a Thunderbird type body too.. (can you tell I'm mostly a Ford guy?) I want to see what's going on with the Fraiser Nash.
In addition to all of these vehicles, the last project update highlighted the Bronco...and it's still in the exact same spot hiding behind Jim's Lotus and the Rolls Royce. I dare say that Volvo has all the makings to be the Bronco of the next update.
Honestly, who dislikes an awesome video like this one? So ridiculous. Jay Leno's Garage makes the world a happier place. Recognize!
It is disliked by jealous people
Tim Kreitz Adventures The diversity of projects shows how much of a genuine car guy Jay really is.
Not only who dislikes why is there 12k + views and only 1k likes. Doesn't make sense u can't watch jay Leno and not like it. Even when I personally don't like the car I still watch the whole video and still leave a like
Tim Kreitz Adventures The new projects and the old are great just new ideas and good times. Agreed a much happier place=]
Tim Kreitz Adventures seems like a battle between petrolicious and jays site ( in the nicest possible way ) think jay edged it this week, Top Stuff.
We're definitely going to need periodic update videos on that Volvo when you get started!
***** Yes, more of these please.
***** yes can't wait!
***** He should do that to the P1800
***** I would love to see that Volvo with modified mechanics, but the body untouched - just as it is!
Artur Grochowski agreed, partly to see the look on peoples' faces when a sunburnt 50 year old Volvo estate takes off like a Saturn V rocket at the lights
There must be a guy that just follows Jay around cleaning his finger prints off of everything.
he lurks in the dark plotting his revenge
dgarage9 The small cleaning robot from Wall-E? ahahaha
If you can afford the fleet of cars and bikes Jay has, a finger print guy is a completely reasonable expense.
All of these guys are living the dream. Talk about the best job in the world.
that volvo resto-mod concept image looks amazing! hope it turns out just like that! can't wait to see it!
fUP420babe Not too sure on the wheels, old cars don't look nice on thin skins, but the rest was nice, the rear door was a nice "forward"back to the current models :)
fUP420babe that's not their concept image, just an img they found somewhere
aserta fUP420babe yeah the wheels need something more classic, but other then that, the concept image was nice!
Mr. Leno never disappoints. Always keeping dreams alive.
You should do more of these updates
Sarah Dell Quarterly updates at the minimum
Sarah Dell I can't wait to see the hot rodded, resto modded Electric car!
Mr Leno has created something truly amazing with this collecting ,and speeking as a car nut my self, I can't think of another program or museum that contributes this much to the automotive world as Mr Jay Leno , america should be very proud.
God i love this show! Look forward to seeing that volvo :) and that lotus
That old hotrod is a wonder and a joy to see. The workmanship and detail makes me want to just sit and study it. Scrounging parts before the advent of catalogs and the Internet was a job in itself.
That Volvo rendering is beautiful 😍
Bader Mubarak
I think it would look better stock on the outside.
Bader Mubarak I'm thinking I want to see a race volvo myself.
***** yeah stock outside but painted polestar blue with wider tires and maybe slightly widened fenders
Jo Nieder Exactly!
Bader Mubarak Yea definitely a really nice render! I wonder if jonsibal did it for him?
Thanks Mr. Leno for taking the time to share your amazing collection, much appreciated!
I was looking forward to you having Joe Rogan with his corvette this week:(
Isaac Munoz There will probably be some editing too so that probably goes up next week if something didn't get in the way.
Isaac Munoz Powerful Joe Hogan!
Jay, put a Hellcat Red motor in something. It's great to see a guy that actually knows what he's talking about, especially hes doesn't try to speak to us like we're idiots.
Looking forward to that Volvo. Jay, I hope you live more 100 years and keep the spirit alive.
Eric Mura yup!
yeah I agree... sometimes I get panic and think dammit what will happen if he dies.. hopefully he is a vampire or maybe he is juses... hahah
Eric Mura Amen. He seems like the only car collected who has soft spot in his heart for literally every kind of vehicle there is. As well as he just has a very creative imagination when it comes to building cars like that Volvo.
There she is…the CUNNINGHAM. Oh my oh my I LOVE THAT CAR. The dash board is gorgeous. Absolutely beautiful.
Love jay Leon's car collection best in the world!!!!

That cunningham is a dream car. Out of this world cool and beautiful. Also that hot rod was dripping with character. That's a rolling picasso in it's own respect.

The project updates are some of my favorite videos!
Jay is one of the few men i'm glad are rich.
I love the colors on the Cunningham! It'll be great to see it completed.
what a great update, please show more like this,,
mustie1 JayLenosGarage yes I agree, great update! would be nice to see more videos like this. I really like the collection, Jay. I must say you've always had a good taste in vehicles. I especially look forward to the completion of the Mercedes and the Volvo. those should be very interesting cars.
That Volvo is COOL!!! Can't wait for that one!!! Thanks and love these restoration videos!!
Dear Jay,
Please never stop these videos. Even if a tall wavy haired Irish fella wants to give it a shot. They're great, educational and fascinating.
Thank you.

Great update, Jay. I'd like to see the Volvo kept "sleeper-ish" ... Always liked that old 122 style too. Thanks so much for your work!
The thing i like about Jay's garage is that he doesn't just throw money at cars to get them done quickly. He has his mechanics take their time and it will be finished when they get around to it. No flipping cars for profit, just pure restoration with dedication. Just as I typed this he says that he's not "Overhaulin'" lol.

Tesla powertrain Jay....
cobra454tim p90D ;-D
My guess is its probably to big and/or expensive.
Joey Pirie Jay is a millionaire... Lol so that's out of the question.
cobra454tim you want a tesla drive train in a wooden body car?
yes,yes I do.
Hey Jay,
Thanks for the update, we love Jay Leno's Garage.
My step mother had that same model Volvo. I can still remember the smell of the all vinyl interior. Unfortunately, she traded it away for a POS new Ford Fairmount.
For the Merlin I think keeping the old magneto is neat but it's something that could be updated with a modern EFI, crank sensor, and coil. That Mercedes-Benz truck is amazing and beautiful. It's a head turner for sure.
***** On that engine? Are you mad? No way.
aserta Anything is possible and with Jay's resources he can bring in someone from MegaSquirt or Haltech.
***** he didn't hawk because he thought it would be difficult to do
Love it. Boo Hoo, it's over. Oh well, maybe I'll watch it again.
OMG, that Volvo 122 is going to be bananas, love it.
These are my favorite episodes, love seeing the unfinished projects. Can't wait to see the MB car hauler get finished!
Tesla powertrain on that Detroit Electric would be neat.
GT7786 The chassis probably isn't up to it, especially with the wood-frame body.
Curby Weaver You can always dial back the acceleration in the software. Don't drop it into Ludicrous mode!
dlwatib A Nissan Leaf powertrain is likely way too much for the car as it is, as paltry as that is. Putting a Tesla powerplant in this is a straight waste of resources that could never be used.
Jay finally ran out of garage space! That poor old Volvo wagon has to sit outside until they finish some other projects and make some room for it inside. From the looks of some of them, it's going to be many months. That Volvo resto-mod is gonna be sick! Can't wait for the video of that.
WOW! Jay let's his guys have time and space in his workshop (and the facilities) to work on THEIR OWN classic vehicle projects. WHat a kind hearted man,
Can we have more regular restoration updates please? Would like to see the metalwork on the Lotus Cortina and maybe get some tips for doing my own e.g. welding thin metal, dent removal, panel fabrication & replacement etc. Best videos on UA-cam keep them coming please :o)
Jay, this show should be on prime time worldwide. Way, way better than the overpaid boy racers at Top Gear.....Top Gear?, who the f*ck is Top Gear?
challenger vinyl top replacement is going well. it's the little things that help you spend the time to do it right with no problems and no help.
The only criticism I can find is you call it a website, but it's your Channel!
I think that their is also a website he posts videos on. I assume purely to avoid doing it twice he just says website.
Believe it or not, there was a time when I watched his videos through the website. There was no UA-cam Channel.
He should just call it his "show"..
Amesie's Corner He always does that. Kind of charming.
The series originated on his own personal website about 10 years ago. NBC took over his site and revamped it when he retired. A lot of content was lost and the episodes only go back like 3 years now.

It's far more likely you'd find something like that out in CA than a mud truck.
If that volvo ran I would be happy with it in its battered state.
***** Yeah I was thinking an ICON style. Modern underpinnings on a period body, with the patina preserved.
***** I agree - a beautiful old gal needn't be ashamed of her wrinkles.
***** Me too, maybe fix the interior a little, though...you know, kick out the squirrels and such...
I love the resto updates. You guys should do more.
I can't wait to see that Detroit Electric mod get finished. Such suspence
Hi Jay, i watch almost all your episodes every week.I am from India and i seriously think that you should do a piece on the Hindustan ambassador which is originally a morris oxford series 2. This car stayed in production for almost 50 years. We would really love if you do an episode on this .
That was fun. Editing was a little different this week for some reason but enjoyed it!
I'd say keep the Volvo looking like it is now too. Resist the temptation to lower it or put wide wheels on it, drop in the Polestar V8 and you're good to go. :)

To Jay: Nice to se a Swedish car in your garage videos, the Volvo Amazon station wagon P220. Nice!
OOohh.. that Mercedes.. I absolutely LOVE that!
Very excited to see the video of it when complete. :)
That transport truck is pretty sweet
Super jazzed about the Volvo, I hope you guys get round to it!
Jay, Nice to see you are putting some work into a Volvo, I got threee Volvo's myself which is to be restored, I just retrived a Garage so I can work somewhere instead of on the street as I do now.. I have a page on Facebook called Let's save some Volvo's! , which I'm glad and proud to say gotten quite popular in my home country...

That volvo will be amazing! Please build it Jay!!!!!!
Quality doesn't mean slow, those guys are just milking the clock. They have every tool they could possibly need to work with but the one they use the most is Jay's endless pocket.

Omg Jay! That's so great that you finally got a Volvo Amazon (122S)! I've been waiting so long for you to get one of these. (I even posted it as a suggestion once). I've got one and I love it! I'm sure you'll love it too! :D
Amazons are great. good looks and reliable. But i´m not sure about the V8 plans. I´d rather go with one of these 450hp I4 engines, that Volvo tested 1-2 years ago.
I agree with Leo, although it would be cool to use Volvo's new 2.0 turbo electric hybrid engine from the new XC90!
Very much enjoyed!
Yes, Jay - -please DO the Polestar Volvo.
That pic you had there looks awesome.
Go Scott McLaughlin and James Moffat - Garry Rogers Motorsport - Australian V8-Supercars
Oh wow!!! I am super excited about that Volvo project!!! YES!! :)
Diggin the Volvo wagon and love the plans for it
what you need for the Volvo Jay is Volvo's R5 T motor that they only had for one year (1995) for their racing station wagons. it can be easily tuned to 600bhp with a bigger turbo and better rods and pistons etc. THEN you'd have something. :)
more of this Jay!
From the Detroit Electric to the Harley Davidson generator, all of them are worth a video by themselves...but then the Volvo shows up at the end and I had to remind myself that you had featured anything else at all! :)
Personally, I would like to see her restored rather than modified. Which shouldn't be too difficult given that pretty much any Volvo part is available (be it made under licence, reconditioned, or new-old), and if you did have to go with another engine - perhaps a later Volvo engine? But otherwise restore her to her former glory, at least getting her into running and roadworthy condition as-is before going any further.
With that Volvo, since you're basically going OEM+, you should throw a set of 22" XC90 wheels on it. They'd fit that body very well.
I like the modified Jimmy Clark December 1965 Road & Track poster.
EXCITED ABOUT THE VOLVO AMAZON!
Love the show, always informative. However I hope Jay Leno can do something, ANYTHING to get GM to build that Cadillac Elmiraj, AS IT IS. I think it was Maxim who wrote an article pleading with Cadillac to manufacture it, saying that concept cars have recently become something along the lines of "Hey, this is what your car could look like, but just not as cool."
ELMIRAJ PLEASE
I didn't know Harley-Davidson made generators, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised. They used to make all kinds of stuff, early dirt bikes, mopeds, even golf carts. A mini golf course in my hometown had the remains of one of their carts rusting away on their property for years. Maybe it's still there, I'll have to check sometime.
love to see the volvo completed, my first car was a 444 1600cc
you should use some of the old 90s T5 volvo touring car parts that would be something. iloved to watch the btcc T5 volvos.
As a Swede I was very happy to see a volvo in the mix, please make this project happen and not scrap it, if it takes 5 years then let it :)
Thanks for sharing, very cool!
Old Volvo, the Swedish Studebaker! A lot of the parts on the front end are interchangeable.
That Volvo will be amazing!!!!
Make sure those gauges aren't radioactive old aircraft gauges from that era had radioactive qualitys that made them glow.
Mr. Leno told in the Zenvo video that he had at Danish Nimbus motocycle, and as a Dane and Nimbus lover i would love to see you make a video about that if Mr. Leno still has it

I want that blue transporter !!
Love the video Jay, I was really looking forward on an update with the Frazer-nash, I saw it disassembled next to the baker on a previous video, is it going back together? I also would not mind an update on the aero engine benz, and the panhard. thanks
There's a high performance Volvo wagon floating around somewhere that Paul Newman built, it's a good bit newer than Jays, maybe 1980s, I've seen it on a few shows.
That home built hill climber can't be worth anything, it's nice of Jay to offer to do something with it.
You should start an intern/apprentice program with a local college/tech school, and get some of those guys to help you out with some of these projects.
When I was a kid, back in the late 60's I had a friend who's brother built funny cars and he had two friends who both drove a little bulbus car called a Morris Minor. Do you have one in your inventory or know someone who does, I'd love to see one again and hear a little of it's history.
really looking forward to The Volvo Amazon project!
you should totally do the volvo just like the picture you should, maybe even keep the same wheels if those are even the stock ones and paint them black to make it look like a total sleeper car
I say they get that thing running and take it up pikes peak, it's what AL wanted
640hp Volvo V8 is V8 Supercar stuff from a special build 5 litres.Undriveable on the road. Reputedly the 4.4 version [the only version and discontinued] used in SUVs was a good engine though they are quite bulky. Keep it near original, maybe a 2 series efi 4 which should be near bolt in. No ball of fire but do go ok and cruise at 75 mph.
love the updates!!!
that hand made one looks almost like a Jeep Rod like an original CJ2A type deal.. It'd be cool to see it bodied like that or like a Ford 2dr roadster type thing, I think that fits the 50's well.. Then again it could do well as a Thunderbird type body too.. (can you tell I'm mostly a Ford guy?)
I want to see what's going on with the Fraiser Nash.
In addition to all of these vehicles, the last project update highlighted the Bronco...and it's still in the exact same spot hiding behind Jim's Lotus and the Rolls Royce. I dare say that Volvo has all the makings to be the Bronco of the next update.
