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.
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."
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.
I am an 80 year old gearhead who could not but break into a big smile everytime Leno put the pedal to the metal. I have tried to watch all your You tube episodes, but man there are a lot of them. This is by far my favorite. Keep up the work. Bill "the box guy"

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.
Can't imagine there's many people in the world for whom one of the biggest car companies would take his 50+ yr old SUV, bring it in house and resto-mod it to the standard of a modern premium car. He's the ultimate car enthusiast
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 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.
Watching Jay drive this reminds me so much of a friend of mine. He's 82, been a mechanic his whole life, and built a 30's era Ford roadster from parts. It has a Ford flathead, 3 on the floor, no top and no mufflers. He took me for a wild ride with spinning tires, roaring pipes, and no speedometer. Watching his windblown white hair and youthful enthusiasm, I said, "I bet this car makes you feel twenty again". He looked at me, grinned, and said..."sixteen". Thanks Jay.
I swear, every time Jay pressed his foot down on the accelerator pedal, I could see a NUMBER of years come off his face. Every single time! By the time he was done, I think he was around 16 or so... Who knew that Bronco was actually a Time Machine eh?
@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
I've never wanted to drive something so badly in my life. Ford is brilliant by getting together with Leno to talk about auto nostalgia. The new 2020 Bronco 2 door is sick.
Back in 75 when I was 16 I had a 69 SS Nova with a 350 that was a pretty hot car! The local deputy sheriff told my dad that if he didn't take the car away they would be scraping me up off the highway & putting me in a body bag! Well my dad took the car away immediately! Thing was as soon as I turned 18 I bought another SS Nova! Those were a fun car but jeez this Bronco would certainly be dangerous for someone who didn't have self control! Sure would be fun to drive!
I used to work for Rick Warner Ford Truck Land in SLC UT in 1980 as a mechanic. I worked on these Broncos for customers. We used to joke that it could idle up a telephone pole in 4WD Low. I loved these. If you ever want an old Ford Mechanic to help out on this baby give me a call. I would love to see this Bronco.
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.
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.
I have a 74 Bronco that Ive restomodded . EFI 408 Windsor stroker , built C4 auto and Atlas T case. Custom D60 semi floater rear diff , custom D60 front diff....I love it and wow is it healthy
@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
Has to be one of my favorite vids Jay has done. The build is beautiful but his reactions are priceless while driving it. I feel like that bronco is my spirit animal 🤣
The fact that Ford Motor Company actually did the work themselves to programm the ecu to work with a manual transmission.... gives me hope that a manual transmission option will be available for GT500 and possibly other projects in the future. The work has already been done. It would be stupid not to include it as a package option.
The video filter on this episode really doesn’t do any of these colors justice. Everything looks so dark. I was shocked when Jay said the car was blue 😂
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.
I remember Craig's LAST show, 1 guest, Jay Leno. They talked about this bronco (before it had begun as a project) and how it was a 'joke'. But Leno told Ferguson "I'm going to do something with it". Finally, he did. Since that 'finale' show, I've always wondered what happened to it. But I just KNEW it wasn't going to be a 'restro', had a feeling somehow Ford was going to be involved. And I'd LOVE to see Craig's reaction. Congrats and TY, Jay, for keeping it 'looking' original!!! (well, as much as you could)
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.
This may be the most hilarious car in Jay's collection. I would love him to make a video of other drivers faces when he outdrags them from stop lights!
I love first gen Broncos. Always did. Back in the early 70's that's all I wanted. Bought a '74 CJ5 with a 304, 3 speed and side pipes. It was a death trap on the highway, but I loved it. Wished I never sold it. This Bronco is awesome, love the growl of the Coyote.
I still enjoy watching Jay Leno on this channel and his Tonight show years. I remember when you first became the new host of "The Tonight Show", I was there for the second show when they had Harrison Ford on the show. The taping ended and they let the audience stay for about 2 more hours as they filmed commercials for the show. Jay came on talk to us and signed autographs. It was a blast. Thanks Jay for a great run of The tonight Show, and Thanks for this channel too.
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?
That thing is INSANE! I knew several guys back in the day who flipped those things when they had straight 6's and 289 V8's. The simple physics of the short wheelbase, narrow track, and high center of gravity with that much horsepower. I sure hope it handles better than those old ones did!
@@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.
When Jay started driving and you could hear that thing roar and lift the front it made me laugh just from watching. Can't imagine driving that monster.
I had a good friend in HS in the 80s who drove an early 70s square body Bronco with the 302 CI engine, orange with white top and the white wagon wheels riding on off-road tires. What a machine. I still think about that ride today. Nicely done.
That saddle brown interior is by far my favorite. I ended up going that route when restoring my Mercedes 300TD wagon I use for a daily, it's a mix of mostly black and brushed aluminum panels/trim mixed with the faux leather similar to how the newer Mercedes with the saddle brown/black combo is done. The wagon is Turbo OM606 + 603 mechanical pump swapped but it's tuned to be as good a balance of performance I could get while minimizing all smoke short of a little when slamming the throttle. Redone suspension gives it a smooth ride to go with the comfy interior and solid/simple powertrain that gets really good fuel economy.
With the high center of gravity, short wheelbase and high horsepower, you'll flip this thing sure as 💩! 💯 Take it easy in this thing Jay! (I know I really don't have to tell you that.) We want you around for a while! 😄
That rig is the most awesome thing I've seen in years, and the sound at full-song is incredible! VERY COOL! I want to see Jay take Craig for a ride! I can hear him now..
My dad owned a 75 bronco when he lived in Big Bear CA back in the early 80s. I loved that truck. So much fun to drive with the top off. I'm personally waiting for the day when Jay decides he has to many cars, and auctions them at Mecum as the 'Jay Leno Collection' I will be there with a briefcases stuffed with cash. I have a dream of owning a few of his Bugattis. I love the type 37 and 40.
@@ColAlbSmi Now that IS SAD. Mine was blue with a black interior. I'm in Arizona and not having A/C in that Shelby, it got "warm" inside. Still wished I had it today. Hope your uncle wasn't hurt. Sold mine in 1973 (gas "shortages") Two guys showed up to buy it. Was asking $2400 and the first guy (a Doctor) bought it "on the spot," then sold it to the second guy (a lawyer) for $3000. lol
Jay I've seen a lot of your videos and I've never seen you smile like that, this Bronco has definitely impressed you, congratulations on an awesome build
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...
2:25 If Ford was using in-house engineering resources to figure out a manual + "Predator" engine solution, that would seem promising for a stick GT500...
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 miss the hell out of my 68 Bronco. It was stolen from my grandparents driveway when I was over fighting in the Gulf War. I was 19 years old then and I'm 51 now and still think about it all these years later. I love Jays Bronco . Nicest I have ever seen. Nice
I say maybe Ford should make a “Jay Leno” edition Ford Bronco! Him being quite a big name among car enthusiasts I think it will sell as “ Hot Cookies”! That leather color and body color combination is just killer!
I love Jay Leno. He reminds me of my one and best friend from childhood, Jay Weimer. They have the same smile and happy laugh + the same irrepressible personality. And this is my favorite Jay Leno car yet. I watch them all and appreciate everything Jay says in these videos. After I watched him drive his black and orange gt leMans winning Ford, I cried and said, "God bless Jay and his beautiful car." And I meant it.
I love listening to Jay talk about cars his enthusiasm level is intoxicating he truly loves automobiles of every era " this motor was put in here with a shoe horn 😂"
I owned a 65 and a 71. The 71 was my first vehicle I owned. Had factory 302, we swapped out for a 351. Should of never sold it, guy who bought it took it and destroyed it in rock quarry. The 65 was years later, was a piece of junk I bought for $300. Had to rebuild the original 265 and it run like a top. I sold it to wife's nephew, he put new body on it, etc. These guys done exactly what I always wanted to do making a true sleeper truck. Outstanding job Jay and everyone involved in this project.

JAY YOU NEED TO STAY OUT OF THAT BRONCO . GOOD THING THERE WERE NO COP AROUND WHEN YOU WERE DRIVING THAT MONSTER .
With an engine sound like that who needs a radio… One of my favorite quotes from Jay Leno.
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!

So which one of the people above are you a staff writer for? :)
Ferguson moved back to Scotland.
Great idea👏🏻👏🏻
That sound is pure bliss
I enjoy, Jay's enjoyment of his toys, he's as giddy as a schoolgirl, I was cracking up.
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.
This may be the most hilarious car in Jay's collection. I would love him to make a video of other drivers faces when he outdrags them from stop lights!
Sadiq Mohamed On par with the Sho-Gun 😄
I love first gen Broncos. Always did. Back in the early 70's that's all I wanted. Bought a '74 CJ5 with a 304, 3 speed and side pipes. It was a death trap on the highway, but I loved it. Wished I never sold it. This Bronco is awesome, love the growl of the Coyote.
Uh oh, I could almost hear Tim the Tool man grunts.
His giggle when he gets on it is priceless....😎
I still enjoy watching Jay Leno on this channel and his Tonight show years. I remember when you first became the new host of "The Tonight Show", I was there for the second show when they had Harrison Ford on the show. The taping ended and they let the audience stay for about 2 more hours as they filmed commercials for the show. Jay came on talk to us and signed autographs. It was a blast. Thanks Jay for a great run of The tonight Show, and Thanks for this channel too.
That Bronco is a Frankenstein freak and it's beautiful!
So it's not just me … I thought it looked black, too. Cool either way.
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?
That thing is INSANE! I knew several guys back in the day who flipped those things when they had straight 6's and 289 V8's. The simple physics of the short wheelbase, narrow track, and high center of gravity with that much horsepower. I sure hope it handles better than those old ones did!
This is frigging hilarious. Man, you've got to take Craig for a ride in this thing, and please PLEASE RECORD IT!
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!!!
I have no words...I will say this though, I have never been tempted to sale my soul for anything or anyone...but...this Bronco gives me pause. WOW!!!
That Engine sounds so damn good !
When Jay started driving and you could hear that thing roar and lift the front it made me laugh just from watching. Can't imagine driving that monster.
I had a good friend in HS in the 80s who drove an early 70s square body Bronco with the 302 CI engine, orange with white top and the white wagon wheels riding on off-road tires. What a machine. I still think about that ride today. Nicely done.
I was in a 1973 ford bronco that flipped over a cliff when I was 8. Thank God for roll bars.restored it using a 1968 bronco for body parts.
That saddle brown interior is by far my favorite. I ended up going that route when restoring my Mercedes 300TD wagon I use for a daily, it's a mix of mostly black and brushed aluminum panels/trim mixed with the faux leather similar to how the newer Mercedes with the saddle brown/black combo is done. The wagon is Turbo OM606 + 603 mechanical pump swapped but it's tuned to be as good a balance of performance I could get while minimizing all smoke short of a little when slamming the throttle. Redone suspension gives it a smooth ride to go with the comfy interior and solid/simple powertrain that gets really good fuel economy.
Really good mpg..... for a brick!
Oh man a built 300d is the best car in thr world im certain!
That video ranks 001/001... first in class, only one in class. Beautiful!
I love the pandemic episodes with just Jay but this Bronco deserves a shoot with a full crew and proper camera work.
I reckon it's high time youtube gave us a "LOVE" icon to click on.
I LOVE THIS THIS THING, bloody awesome Jay.
With the high center of gravity, short wheelbase and high horsepower, you'll flip this thing sure as 💩! 💯 Take it easy in this thing Jay! (I know I really don't have to tell you that.) We want you around for a while! 😄
Now there is a 450 wrangler
That rig is the most awesome thing I've seen in years, and the sound at full-song is incredible! VERY COOL! I want to see Jay take Craig for a ride! I can hear him now..
I remember sitting in one on the showroom floor at Geary Ford in San Francisco in 1966 when my dad bought his 66 mustang convertible.
That Bronco is mint condition would be worth $500,000
Cool!
This is one of the best things I’ve seen on UA-cam. Jay wins. You had me at the title.
My dad owned a 75 bronco when he lived in Big Bear CA back in the early 80s.
I loved that truck.
So much fun to drive with the top off.
I'm personally waiting for the day when Jay decides he has to many cars, and auctions them at Mecum as the 'Jay Leno Collection'
I will be there with a briefcases stuffed with cash.
I have a dream of owning a few of his Bugattis.
I love the type 37 and 40.
When possible, Jay should take Craig Ferguson for "the ride of his life" in this thing. ;)
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
Sweet! In 1970, I bought a 1967 Shelby GT500 for $1725. Low miles and PERFECT condition. Wish I still had it!
My uncle had one back in the mid 70's, crashed it into a school bus and killed 8. It was a beaut!
@@ColAlbSmi bruh
@@ColAlbSmi Now that IS SAD. Mine was blue with a black interior. I'm in Arizona and not having A/C in that Shelby, it got "warm" inside. Still wished I had it today. Hope your uncle wasn't hurt. Sold mine in 1973 (gas "shortages") Two guys showed up to buy it. Was asking $2400 and the first guy (a Doctor) bought it "on the spot," then sold it to the second guy (a lawyer) for $3000. lol
Incredible. I love stories like this. Thanks for sharing.
@@MS-dp3py thanks man
I absolutely love sleepers.
I'm smiling nonstop whens he's driving it!!!
Just watching Jay drive this and the fun he was having made me smile from ear to ear.
Jay you make me smile what a ride.
" So I live in a hilly area so I need that extra power to get me over the hills" LOL
Jay's best line in the video " You could get in a lot of trouble with this. " Almost fell out of my chair laughing.
God damn it 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
IF they could find the body-parts!!
That Bronco is a beautiful beast. My 89 is so jealous. Thank you Jay
I'd love to see him do an episode with Craig Ferguson showing off all the stuff they did to his old Bronco.
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.
I smiled the whole way through this video.
Then Jay cackled while he stepped on the gas.
Made my day. Thanks Jay.
Every time I see one of Jay's cars, I say "that's my dream car.... no THAT'S my dream car... No THAT one..."
The Covid edition's are actually Jay's best shows. I just enjoy his stories. Go Pat's! :)
Murph couldnt agree more Sir.Here we go STEELERS, here we go!!!
By far the coolest thing shown on this UA-cam channel so far! Beautiful!
Always liked the older Broncos just never found a deal. Only word for this one is, "WICKED" Thanks for sharing Mr. Leno.☺
👊
One of those "Good to Be Jay Leno projects." -- He looks like a little kid getting his jollies in that super-cool Bronco!
Love the smile on Jays face when he drives it,,, 😂👍
It's really a Sleeper! Stock on the outside. Restomod on the inside! Ford and Leno. A great combination! 760 hp. Wow! Sounds beautiful. Shawn.
This is an impressive build-well done ladies and gentlemen! Thanks for sharing Jay!
Jay I've seen a lot of your videos and I've never seen you smile like that, this Bronco has definitely impressed you, congratulations on an awesome build
Got chills listening to that engine. I'm so not a car guy, I just enjoy this show. Jay Leno is a legend.
Same
That’s amazing I love the power, manual transmission and the fact that it still looks like a bronco . great job 👍🏻
Jey Leno is working with Ford to generate hype for the upcoming 2021 Bronco! Lol... Well played, Ford.. Well played lol
Jay on the ridiculous 760 hp: "if I had this car at 16, I'd be dead at 18, or 17, or 16.5" 😂😂😂
The super-short wheelbase made these Very tippy! I almost killed myself in one with a 302 in my twenties.
Maybe OJ would've escaped if he'd had this Bronco
😂😂😂😂
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?
2:25 If Ford was using in-house engineering resources to figure out a manual + "Predator" engine solution, that would seem promising for a stick GT500...
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 miss the hell out of my 68 Bronco. It was stolen from my grandparents driveway when I was over fighting in the Gulf War. I was 19 years old then and I'm 51 now and still think about it all these years later. I love Jays Bronco . Nicest I have ever seen. Nice
I love the look of the old broncos, and his one has a heart to match... excellent machine.
Just needs chrome grill.
I say maybe Ford should make a “Jay Leno” edition Ford Bronco! Him being quite a big name among car enthusiasts I think it will sell as “ Hot Cookies”! That leather color and body color combination is just killer!
Good point
Not leather it'll need blue denim lol
I love Jay Leno. He reminds me of my one and best friend from childhood, Jay Weimer. They have the same smile and happy laugh + the same irrepressible personality. And this is my favorite Jay Leno car yet. I watch them all and appreciate everything Jay says in these videos. After I watched him drive his black and orange gt leMans winning Ford, I cried and said, "God bless Jay and his beautiful car." And I meant it.
I love listening to Jay talk about cars his enthusiasm level is intoxicating he truly loves automobiles of every era " this motor was put in here with a shoe horn 😂"
Just incredible Mr Leno! Brought a smile to my face watching this. Lovely.
I owned a 65 and a 71. The 71 was my first vehicle I owned. Had factory 302, we swapped out for a 351. Should of never sold it, guy who bought it took it and destroyed it in rock quarry. The 65 was years later, was a piece of junk I bought for $300. Had to rebuild the original 265 and it run like a top. I sold it to wife's nephew, he put new body on it, etc. These guys done exactly what I always wanted to do making a true sleeper truck. Outstanding job Jay and everyone involved in this project.
That thing is amazing!
