Hi Jay, and greetings from the UK. First of all I'd like to thank you for all of your fantastic videos. I've been an avid watcher of yours ever since I discovered your channel all those years ago, and the first thing I do when I wake up every Monday morning is watch the new episode of Jay Leno's Garage whilst I have my morning coffee. I've been a car fanatic ever since I can remember. In fact, like yourself, I'm facinated by just about everything of a mechanical nature. I find your videos all the more enjoyable because of, not just your knowledge of whatever vehicle or machine is that weeks subject, but your obvious enthusiasm for it all too. Also, your "garage" is something to behold. It's such an eclectic collection and with all the other items displayed, plus an incredible workshop with a group of amazing, highly skilled guys working with you really is any petrol/gear heads dream setup. You must feel proud, not to mention blessed, each time you enter that place, and all I can say is, how on earth do you decide what to drive each day?? Anyway, I hadn't meant to waffle on for so long. The main reason for my commenting on this particular video was the beautiful Chrysler 300 with fuel injection you featured. Although you mentioned it was incredibly rare and even an employee of Chrysler at the time would pretty much deny it's existence because it was doomed from the start due to the injection system being so complicated, I have a book in front of me called Great American Automobiles of the 50's and it obviously features the Chrysler 300 series. However, it does actually mention the fuel injected version. It's says a Bendix Electrojector system was available as a $400 option, but as you mentioned, proved so unreliable most of them were converted to carburettors. It also says only 16 were ordered. Thanks again Jay. Regards. Matti Brown.
this is Jay at His best..just straight car talk..and a good long look with explanation of what, how and when the car got there and what they are doing..as we can tell by all the comments that this is a very favorite form of videos we want more of..
Jay is just the consummate enthusiast, he keeps his cars and bikes original, but with the caveat that it MUST be safely drivable! There is a kind of genius to the way his shop upgrades these old cars to keep them on the road with a fighting chance for survival! It’s EXACTLY how I would do it, because driving is the point.
Jay is keeping many mechanics busy full time with all these totally different cars. Love the 1968 Firebird Convert. Sprint. I had a 67 Sprint with a 3spd manual. Those sixes can actually get bumped up to around 280 HP very easily. Thank you Jay and John DeLorean .!!!
I’d love to see more of these but with a focus on the work itself and the craftsman that do it. Show us the process from 3D printing to investment casting, CNCing, fabbing the clutch. Love all the Jay vids, but restoration blogs are the best.
I want to be Jay, and employ a team of mechanics, fabricators, and body people, working on multiple projects at a time! We can dream! Thanks for letting us live vicariously Jay!
These Restoration Blogs are always my favorites on this channel. When I shuffle off this mortal coil, if I can't get to heaven, Jay's garage is where I'd like to go.
@@1183newman Yes i know, and how easy was it for you to write that. It probably took you as long as the first reply. I am just sick and tired of the trolls who have nothing better to do than parse every response they see.
I've been binge watching Jay's restoration blogs for several nights now and because I haven't kept up, I'm really enjoying them. No better way to spend my self-isolation time! Jay fits the description of a "nonpareil." Stay safe, everybody.
I did not own a Nash but I did own a 73 AMC ambassador _2 door hardtop between 83 and 1992 it had 360 v-8 jeep engine when I sold it it had 152,000 miles on the dial!
Yes. To tell you the truth, if the weekly videos were ONLY restoration blogs, I would be content. They probably think that because they work so painstakingly, people would tune out because they wouldn't see dramatic changes from the preceding week, but I love the minutia. I think many others would too. Maybe their views would take a bit of a hit, unless as you say, they continued with the regular videos too.
Thanks Jay for preserving these cars and sharing their story with us here. I honor and respect the work you and your crew are doing and your choice to keep them original.
Jay, I love how your so humble, there's nothing better than watching how you explain to us what your doing next and of course your so passionate about your cars, thank you for all that you do, it's inspiring. young guys take note...as a guy who's owned a sport car and others for 40 years, it's nice to see someone like Jay, NOT SHOW OFF!!!
Oh wow. Jay Leno has some incredibly beautiful, rare, and special vehicles in his collection. I can't wait to see all of these cars restored to their former glory. He will have virtually a museum of rare and gorgeous cars of all shapes, and sizes when he's finished. I salute you Jay Leno for your passion for vehicles of all kinds - regardless of who made them or where they came from. Very well done, or should I say, 'nicely done'. Lol.
The thing i find amazing about jay leno is that he not only restores these vehicles perfectly but also drives them. I hate to see cars just sit. They are meant to be driven. Anyways have a great day ! ✌
The Pontiac Sprint ohc six was NOT the first ohc six done in America. Jeep’s Tornado 3.8L ohc six launched in the 1963 Gladiator pickup and Wagoneer SUV.
I had a '63 with the Tornado OHC. Dependability wasn't it's strong suit, especially the "floating" distributor, but when it was running, it was a hoss.
He did not say it was the first. He said he believes it was the first with a RUBBER TIMING BELT instead of a chain. [EDIT] I just rewound the tape and stand corrected. He did say it was the first overhead cam 6.
Haha, I thought the same thing....Kaiser Willys Jeep Tornado OHC 6 in 1962! 140 hp, and it only had a 6 lobe camshaft...one lobe for both intake and exhaust!
Jay Leno is an international automotive treasure. The world should support his historical efforts in any way possible and keep these unique cars running.
My grandfather in Detroit had a model T and painted the fenders green, everyone called him green fenders. 😄 Being a born and raised in Detroit, I really appreciate everything you do Jay. Fascinating stuff
I miss Jay's book reviews and the interviews with important automotive folks~~ Nevertheless I love all the episodes and I've learned so much from Jay, the guests, and the cars and bikes~~ Thanks Professor Leno!
I love the restoration blogs, they always show the most interesting stuff! 2 comments...1) If it was mine, I'd forget about nickel plating anything on the green car (Wills?). I'd copper plate everything...radiator shell, gauge bezels, bumpers, aluminum trim...EVERYTHING. I know it wouldn't be right, but, I think that once the copper starts to oxidize, it would look very nice with the green bodywork. 2) I've been waiting for the Detroit Electric to be finished. I've been fascinated with them since I read a series of mystery books with the main character based on the son of the man that founded the company. I don't remember the authors name off hand, but, if anyone is interested, google Detroit Electric Mysteries and you'll find them. They're very good if you're into mysteries and Detroit (the city and the electric car) history. These are both just my opinions and I can't wait to see both of them completed along with the others featured, especially the 300D.
I love these restoration updates. But this one has led me to a question, maybe even an idea for another one off video jay. I've noticed you've mentioned a few times about cars you were interested in, and have now subsequently got. So my question and potential video one off, what are the white whales you are currently chasing to add to the collection? I kinda want to know what the man with hundreds of auto's still wants.
Some alter ego would then buy every one !! Perhaps There is a tape somewhere , maybe at a pizza place, coffee shop, Hmmm ! Watson get my Cap , the games afoot !! ( sorry watching too many Sherlock Holmes vids )
The thing is if he announces the stuff he is searching for, people who have it will jack up the price. I guess that is why it would be prudent for him not to tell.
Yeah, I thought about all that indeed...but another part of me wondered if it would also help him find the absolute most obscure of pieces that maybe all of two people would know even existed and where.
What a pleasure is to watch these documentals and learn about long gone tecnological solutions to engineering issues.Being an automotive tecnician myself and seiing all these extraordinary cars and trucks as well as the beautyfull motorcycles is specially satisfying.Thank you so much for the oportunity to see all these juwels.
Coming soon on the Discovery channel - Jay Leno's Reality Garage. Mild mannered Bernard trades punches with Jimmy in a fight over a magneto. Quiet man of the paint booth, Per , tells George the steam engineer he's doing it all wrong , leading George to chuck a spanner and Jay's McLaren F1...... thankfully not.
Jimmy was the guy working on the brass water jacket on that race car too. Jay is willing to let Jimmy do it right, so basically Mr. Hudson now has the dream craftsman job. Plus they are all working on a project of their own in Jay's shop. Jay knows how to handle car nuts.
Thanks for doing these resto blogs. I really like the Firebird with the straight six and I'm so glad you are doing it stock. I love V-8 power but I've had 2 vehicles with a straight six that I really enjoyed driving: a 1976 Nova with the 250 six and a 1991 Ford F-150 with the 300ci straight six. As always thanks for sharing!
My neighbor years ago had the 4.1 liter in a lemans wagon with a 4 speed. So cool. It was for sale as I left high school for a whopping 300 bucks. No rot just faded paint.
I have a friend that dated a girl with one of those in the 80s, they had taken out the I6 and put a V8 in it, but her father had the I6, they got married then he talked her into getting it restored, were talking early 1980s, the restorer gets it apart and blasts the frame, then it sat for a couple years, my friend gets tired of waiting and tells the guy he wants it back, the guy wouldn't let him have it, he had to take him to court to get it back, so then it sat another ten years in his garage while he raised his kids etc, he eventually sold it in the 90s. The whole time his wife gave him grief, as far as she was concerned she had a nice convertible she could drive, she didn't care the motor wasn't correct, she just liked driving it.
There was talk back in the late 60s, that GMH in Australia were looking at the Pontiac OHV 6, to be used in the Holden. In the end they went for the Chev V8.
I really appreciate your attitude towards restoration, safety and longevity. Can you talk some about what types of fuel you use or mods you might have to make for old engines to use modern fuels, please?
I love Jay Leno's garage. It simply enhances my knowledge of cars, old cars, amazing cars historical cars, cars that I didn't think that it exist, even though I am a car salesperson. Tks. Jay!
Jay...I believe Jeep were the first to offer the overhead cam 6 in the USA..it being the 230 Tornado ..introduced in 1962...the Pontiac was first offered in 67
I was hoping to see the brass water jackets for the Rabbit 1 at 14:52 since they had just been completed. Hopefully the next restoration blog will come soon so we can see the water jackets and more on the Rabbit 1. I just love that race car ! Thanks Jay, great to see the progress on your projects !
Another great episode and will work for FREE for you! So many cars I have never heard of, simply fantastic. Oh, the free part is after I retire of course.
*GOD BLESS KING LENO* *MAY JAY REIGN SUPREME FOR A THOUSAND YEARS, AND MAY THE NAME LENO BE EMBLAZONED UPON THE SANDS OF AUTOMOTIVE TIME, FOR ALL TO KNOW AND WORSHIP*
The restoration blogs, along with Jay's own car reviews, are always my favorite episodes. I would to visit Jay's Garage someday; just awesome to see the eclectic variety.
Thank you Jay and the crew for the videos! I never thought much about classic cars or know where to begin, but I fell in love with a Chrysler from the 60s (don't want to say which so folks won't look up the type of car). Now I am seriously going to save up to find, buy and resto-mod one.
I wish we could get a episode once a year on parts that have been made with 3d scanning and 3d printing or just all the amazing parts they have made themselves
Always a pleasure, kind of envious but just happy I get to see these interesting automotive projects, and also got to learn n see the investment casting procedure to see what that was about, very cool.

Can't that Jay enough for preserving these wonderful vehicles. Thrilling to see. His legacy will live on !
Sunday nights with Jay are as close as it gets to a can't miss weekly TV show!
True the left is killing funny ,,don't watch any late night show anymore..
And I love cars so I love this show ..
No it's not. You can't miss it because it's always available.
What is this "TV" you speak of? Is this a new thing?
whats a tv?
Televised Virtuality aka Brainwashers
this is Jay at His best..just straight car talk..and a good long look with explanation of what, how and when the car got there and what they are doing..as we can tell by all the comments that this is a very favorite form of videos we want more of..

I love the restoration blogs, I am curious as to what happened to the Volvo Station Wagon project. I dead sure I have never missed the weekly video.
I was excited to see a new "Restoration Blog" for that reason... next one I guess.
same here. was looking forward to the update on the Volvo
I am as well. Being I have a Volvo wagon myself. So Jay let us know what;s going on with it, please. Thank you.
Polestar!! I'm dying to see that one finished.
im always for the lookout for that car
I love how Jay mentions all the folks who get involved, and really gives credit to his team. Sign of a truly great leader-
We must protect Jay at all costs!! Love his garage and car collection.
gym shoe I hope that when jay passes a new curator is selected and his collection is kept together
Thank you, Jay, for preserving automotive history.
I just love Jay's resto blogs . So pleased some one is saving this old iron .

I re-watched the last 4 of these last night, what a co-incidence and so pleased to see a new one uploaded this morning!
Hooray for you, Jay! Saving a Sprint 6 Pontiac. I had a Sprint 6 Tempest. Great engine!
My Dad had one and was pretty fast!
I want to be Jay, and employ a team of mechanics, fabricators, and body people, working on multiple projects at a time! We can dream! Thanks for letting us live vicariously Jay!

They are becoming more rare these days!

These videos are a collection, a gift to auto enthusiasts.
Looking forward to the first drive of the Detroit electric. 400+ hp Tesla motor, bicycle tires and tiller steering. Should be.... entertaining.
WITH A/C YET.
Jay you are an American gem.. Really appreciate what you do and your passion.
Restoration vlogs should have their own weekly episodes. Don’t even need Jay, just have the craftsmen showing/explaining their work.
Agree. I'd watch that too.
Yes, Jay could easily start another channel for just restorations and get 1 million subs
I think monthly, or bi monthly would be better with the slow progress they make on some of the stuff he has.
Nah, Jay adds the humor element. Gotta have him in there.

These are by far my favorite shows on Jay Leno's garage!!! I could watch this all day long. FASCINATING!!!!! Please do them more often.
Jay just needs to design his own car. It'll be priceless!!
Jonathan Lastname agreed!
I'm pretty sure he designed one of the jet cars he has

Always enjoy listening to you Jay going through his garage
RESTO BLOG!
jay leno reminds me of an old soul in a new body.
Greetings from the international space station!
The blogs almost better than the episodes we get to see a little bit of the shop and employees. Can you do a shop, tool, art tour sometime👍🏼
The guy says "Jay likes everything original" while we all see the entire interior of the car coated in Dynamat sound deadening material 😎
Out of all the things you could do in America this would be my No 1 place to visit if ever i get there, thumbs up from OZ Jay.
This is the same Jimmy 7:00 that work for Boyd Coddington and quit because Boyd's shop was a mad house.
Thats him, Jimmy Hudson
Glad to see him in a good shop. He was treated like trash over at Coddington. Boyd was not to kind to real talented with minds of their own.

It's a real pleasure watching Jay's Garage and his passion for cars is next level.
Jay's garage is more a National Treasure than ANYTHING in Washington DC.
'It was supposed to last 100 years, and it only lasted....90 !' lol Jay still cracks me up every time !
The AMG engine ......come on Jay what are you doing with it? It's been years since you mentioned it .......
Doesn't he have a spare Lamborghini engine too?
My neighbor years ago had the 4.1 liter in a lemans wagon with a 4 speed. So cool. It was for sale as I left high school for a whopping 300 bucks. No rot just faded paint.
..."better to be alive." Not bad for a young stand up comic.
Speaking of which, I'm still thinking a tiller driven electric capable of modern highway speeds is not that good of an idea for longevity.
@@TugIronChief Wow, that'd have to be an early one! Steam or gas?
Great! Love the Resto Vlogs, Jay has said it many times.. he's just the custodian of these historic marvels doing them justice for prosperity.
Jay employees top-end people in his shop just to work on his own cars (and their own too). It’s like a little paradise.
Willy Lamb He inspires a lot of loyalty even going back to his Tonight Show days.
Yeah, it must be a little paradise to work in this fantastic garage - car heaven
I love these insights into Jay's world. What I wouldn't give for a day spent looking around there and chatting to Jay!
holy crap that Firebird Sprint is amazing, such a cool engine that most people have never heard of
I have a friend that dated a girl with one of those in the 80s, they had taken out the I6 and put a V8 in it, but her father had the I6, they got married then he talked her into getting it restored, were talking early 1980s, the restorer gets it apart and blasts the frame, then it sat for a couple years, my friend gets tired of waiting and tells the guy he wants it back, the guy wouldn't let him have it, he had to take him to court to get it back, so then it sat another ten years in his garage while he raised his kids etc, he eventually sold it in the 90s.

Jay...I believe Jeep were the first to offer the overhead cam 6 in the USA..it being the 230 Tornado ..introduced in 1962...the Pontiac was first offered in 67
I'm glad you said that, I thought I was losing my mind
So the Pontiac one was the first one that didn't suck.
@@MrJMS814 The Tornado was a very competent, smooth engine that was the basis for the 4.0,
Maybe it was the first GM engine inline 6 with OHC ?
Nice to be authentic better to be alive, Excellent one liner Jay.

I was hoping to see the brass water jackets for the Rabbit 1 at 14:52 since they had just been completed. Hopefully the next restoration blog will come soon so we can see the water jackets and more on the Rabbit 1. I just love that race car ! Thanks Jay, great to see the progress on your projects !
Easier to do a missile launch sequence than to open the hood!
maxxjett films LMAO
twist the lever the wrong way and tear gas comes out of the grill. OO7 Security .
Another great episode and will work for FREE for you! So many cars I have never heard of, simply fantastic. Oh, the free part is after I retire of course.
*GOD BLESS KING LENO*
*MAY JAY REIGN SUPREME FOR A THOUSAND YEARS, AND MAY THE NAME LENO BE EMBLAZONED UPON THE SANDS OF AUTOMOTIVE TIME, FOR ALL TO KNOW AND WORSHIP*
The guys at your shop do some legendary work..
I absolutely love these videos. Absolute gem of a UA-cam channel
These restoration blog vids are my absolute favorite from your channel
More restoration blogs - less personality-free car buddies who may or may not own Lamborghini dealerships.
More of everything. And this is not about personality, it is about cars - and their stories.
The restoration blogs, along with Jay's own car reviews, are always my favorite episodes. I would to visit Jay's Garage someday; just awesome to see the eclectic variety.
13:43 i freaking love Jay. It was supposed to last a hundred years and only lasted *90* !!! Called the Kleiber company and they are out of business 🤣👌
Thank you Jay and the crew for the videos! I never thought much about classic cars or know where to begin, but I fell in love with a Chrysler from the 60s (don't want to say which so folks won't look up the type of car). Now I am seriously going to save up to find, buy and resto-mod one.
I was gonna say the Brough was my favorite - but the whole show was great.Love em all.
I wish we could get a episode once a year on parts that have been made with 3d scanning and 3d printing or just all the amazing parts they have made themselves
Always a pleasure, kind of envious but just happy I get to see these interesting automotive projects, and also got to learn n see the investment casting procedure to see what that was about, very cool.
Your restoration blog is fascinating, Jay.
Great job Jay making these cars safe.
I especially enjoy your update blogs. Thank you.
Many years ago, sent Jay an Oklahoma personalized plate. "JAYLENO". Keep watching on the videoes. It's GOT to be on a wall there somewhere.....
We have as much fun as Jay when he wonders what the crew are up to.
Love the Firebird. Nice to see a car under your care that I have driven
For a car guy like myself this garage would be a dream to work in. Amazing!
