I have seen more hours of Jay Leno's garage than any of his late night work.
And i don't think he's a particularly good comedian either))) But he's a truly likeable chap, and his car taste is immaculate.
Way better than watching Hollyweird "celebrities".
I think Jay, Conan and Letterman represent the golden age of US late night talk/comedy. All three were the best at what they did in my opinion
Yeah Carson was the best, anything after him has been nothing but a dog and pony show.
Same, and I have enjoyed it more as well ;)
Holy crap, what a stunning masterpiece.
Well said lol.
This, for me, is the most beautiful car I've ever seen.
beautiful car, the paint color is fantastic, pure Italian
buzz kirschner the paint is probably my favourite thing about this car. And the knock off wire wheels, sparkling in the California sunshine.
Absolutely gorgeous car.
@@RB747domme This was one of the cars I first fell in love with. I came across a picture of one when I was a kid, maybe in the early 70's before I'd ever heard of Ferrari and only knew of American muscle cars. I fell in love with the style of the car. I agree the paint is fantastic.
I'm not sure which year but there is one in the Blackhawk museum near S.F. Ca. A great visit if you enjoy historic cars.
A beautiful car. The Italians have the "eye" for style.
+Dusty Rusty Thank you Dusty. I'm Italian and we have many defects, but , as you say we have eye for the style.
I love particularly the 60's style for cars. Pls, have a look to Ferrari 275 GTB.
@Carl Pyper
Thanks Carl. I loved your nice comments. Very kind of you. That's the nice side of UA-cam.
@Carl Pyper haha, it's so true. Scots will argue with you while knowingly on the same side arguing the same points. It's hilarious.
We made the Lancia Strotos shall I speak further. 😆
Just not much of an eye for wiring
To Jay's film crew: you've really, truly stepped up your game and it's infinitely more fun to watch. Your use of stills when showing gauges and knobs, down to the documentary-like shallow depth of field, is just perfect and matches the elegance of the vehicles themselves.
For many of us, this is the closest we'll ever get to cars of this caliber; your efforts really give us a better understanding and appreciation for these incredible works of art. Thanks!
Those Blaupunkt radios were like... to die for !
An absolutely glorious car!
So subtle, refined and elegant body design.
Literally one of the most aesthetically beautiful cars made. NOT fussy or gimmicky.
Thank you Jay!
oh my god... that is simply a beautiful car
Yeah , I would have one if I could
It is slightly under a 1 millionen murican dollars in prestine condition.
In my opimiom , no car is worth that If your ca n't drive it - its not a car
Fetchéz La Vàche *opinion
you can find some for under 300k in acceptable conditions
Gorgeous design, paint and great sound. Incredible having 5psd, electric windows and fuel injection back in 1962.
One of the most beautiful cars I've ever seen.
agree. The definition of sex on wheels.
Drooling. This is my favorite Italian car from the 1960s.
when i first look at it, it reminds me of james bond's 63 aston martin db5. only at first glance. i love it!
Kinda seems to have some Austin Healy in her too.
I had to google a db5 because I thought the same thing. Kinda similar. Beautiful color and WHEELS.
For 1/3 the price, though, I'd take an XKE in '63. Now the prices have probably reversed.
i think the db5 was coached in italy by touring milano
More like a DB4
Beautiful car!. I LOVE how hard Jay works to keep cars as original as possible. We'll never know and experience what it was like to drive historic cars without doing this excellent work.
I saw a really funny video of modern teenagers offered $1000 if they could successfully place a call on a rotary phone.
I took my driving test in a 1968 Land Rover 88. Manual transmission with no syncromesh between 1&2 , manual choke, no power brakes or steering. Come on 18 year olds, I dare you!
and 18 year olds challenge us to figure out how to change the settings on our own phones. :)))
Best car programme on the planet.
That car is absolutely gorgeous....
These are my favorite JLG videos, where Jay showcases his personal cars. Whenever he drives something new, especially something new he doesn't own, he seems pretty bored and doesn't hide it too well. Classics are the way to go and Jay knows how to pick 'em.
Alec D. Maybe his boredom is in your imagination
We
Great video as usual, Mr. Leno. The world is a better place because of you. It is wonderful that you are dramatically improving and preserving such a vast array of automotive history.
To bredlo's comment crew: you've really, truly stepped up your comment game and it's infinitely more pleasant to read. Your use of respectful overtones, down to the director-like knowledge of filming techniques, is just perfect and matches the elegance of the vehicles themselves.
For many of us, this is the closest we'll ever get to a commentator of this caliber, your efforts really give us a better understanding and appreciation of the mind of an incredible educated viewer. Thanks!
so many beautiful cars built 1952-1972 the golden era IMO.
Amazing the depth of talent at Jay's garage.
When I think of "vintage" cars, I will think of this from now on. Truly beautiful.
Eng1neering it says historical on the plate
The best thing about Jay is he has all these fancy expensive cars and actually drives them like they were made to be driven
Better than any Maserati made today just simply beautiful
CloroxBleach sounds good too
I watch these over and over . I pick up something new and often am reminded of a question in the back of my mind for years and have it answered . I love each bike . Now that Jay has quit TV maybe he can make more episodes .
Cant remember how many times i watched this beautiful maserati. A really work of art, gorgeous car
I don't typically comment, Mr. Leno. But that car is positively stunning.
This car was a real find unmolested in a shipping container for decades. A beautiful car.
Dam thats a good looking old car what a gem!
Looks like a p1800
Brian Heiden ,dam holds water.
@@banjopete that's right, damn it! lol
I had a friend with one of these back in the early 80s. Same color but a little newer. It had gorgeous brown leather that looked great with this blue. Same wire wheels too. It's really cool to hear the engine again. This was a totally awesome video Jay, thank you. I think this is the best sounding straight 6 ever, like having a leopard under the hood. Very sexy. He paid less than $5k for it.
The car though is gorgeous. And that color…..breathtaking
I almost enjoy hearing Jay talking about the car more than seeing him driving it
I adore this car and Maserati overall. There's something about this car that's simple, but awesome.
The old cars made by Maserati are way much pretty and better developed inside-out.. the modern ones keep only the famous noise true original to remind the brand philosophy of attention to detail because the rest : shapes, quality of materials, electrics, and everything else is rubbish what a shame for such epic brand..
Wow, this car is just beautiful. No "translation" needed for today's eyes
Jay is so top shelf. Ambassador for the hobby...
That would be the most epic car show in all of history.
Finally, a Maserati on the show! And a great one too!
There are many iconic and beautiful cars. This one somehow slipped my notice. Absolutely beautiful and now in my top 10. Great work from Jay and the team.
Jim Hall is a master mechanic and builder. Yet, he dresses normally and wears old worn out tennis shoes. Awesome! That's how you can tell a man who really knows his stuff. He looks like my Uncle, who was a master plumber. They'd call his company in when they had a new high rise apt building that needed plumbing, and had water pressure issues, flooding, etc. He dressed like Jim, normally and was the most humble man you'd ever meet...yet he made over $200,000 a year. Still lived in an old smaller house and drove a 15 year old Dodge truck. We miss Him.
That Maserati is right up there as one of the most beautiful cars in the world.
8:33 "5 speed, STOP ya killin me!" lmaoo
hi Jay I really love watching your videos specially on restoration cars I own a 1973 BMW 2002 that it was given to me by my father I hope someday to be able to restore it its been in the garage for the past 10 years I know it takes a lot of money to restore of these vehicles that the dream that I have to be able to do it especially because it was a gift from my father
Whats great is unlike Top Gear, Jay Leno already has all the cars needed to make the show and they are his personal cars!
This 3500 is a real heck of a car. One of the most beautiful ever.
If Jay were to come up to me and say..."I will sell you any car from my collection, which one would it be? I'd go for this one without a doubt, it looks beautiful, sounds amazing,I imagine its a comfortable cruiser as well...and its a Maserati
I agree completely.
Maybe if he said "I will sell you any car from my collection for 100 bucks" I surely do NOT have the capital to buy a set of wheels from his collection let alone any of his beautiful automobiles.
I think it would be the '63 E-type Jag fastback he recently purchased.
@@elkabong6429 i totally agree, just like Enzo said they are the most beautiful car ever made. Jag has certified some company to take old XKs and making them modern underneath. They run about 275000
My god what a beautiful car. And that sound...heavenly...
One kind of "Italian Graal" ! Stunning car ! Thanks for all the marvels i've seen on your videos, some are real and rare masterpieces ! Allways a pleasure to see them.
"In the Dyno Room" - The nearest I have is a Dinning Room (which is about the same size). It's great when you have all the gear to carry out a restoration. I really like the detail that is shared in these videos. A great education.
Oh my God. I love this car. I think it's the most beautiful car ever made. Thanks Jay.
Gorgeous beautiful car, with an exhaust note that is music to my ears.
It's a pleasure to look at a such masterfully restored car. Congratulations to the masters that do such jobs. They do the practical job while Leno gives back the soul, revives the car with his explanations.
In Verona, Italy with NATO assignment for 3+ years from 1959-62, my dad succumbed to the seduction of the Maserati factory only about 30 miles away in Modena and bought a light silver metallic gray 3500 GT, with 3 dual-barrel Webers (prior to fuel injection available on Maserati). We'd drive down to the factory to have the car serviced, then test driven by a factory race driver who would attach a "PROVA" (test) plate over the license plate, belt my dad or me in, and roar through town, disregarding all speed limits posted, and approve of the performance after service, etc.! I rode once on such a test drive and the amazing bucket seats in the Maserati kept me solidly in the leather, never once bounced up ! My mom drove the car in town in Verona, going to the base or hair salon, too -- and once was doing about 70 mph in town, not figuring out how to get it out of second gear. LOLOL She had spirit! Autostrada, country roads, and eventually across the USA from New York to California with my four brothers and my mom in a passenger car and my dad and I alternating driving on the US highways at legal speeds. Kept the car one more year in the USA, then my dad who had just retired from the USAF decided the price of parts and upkeep in the US was going to be unaffordable for him settling in with a family on retirement pay, etc. So he sold it unfortunately. But before that, I remember driving it one night through a drive-in like Big Bob's or something, and around the parked cars-- and a scream from a teen boy could be heard: "It's a MASERATI!!!!!!" -- I had to grin and act nonchalant -- but it was truly an amazing and satisfying car while we owned it! Sad to have it go -- but the Italian bug was strong -- so we got an Alfa Romeo Giulia spyder, which I drove to college in Sacramento. Then I sold it and bought a rare Alfa Giulia Sprint Special and kept that for years (see the Jay Leno video comments for more on that -- on his video about the Giulia SS. Che Bella!
One of the all-time great GT's by anyone.
I am in LOVE with this beautiful car-the color is gorgeous and the lines are just so sultry! I told my hubby I want one!! lol
Thanks Jay finally got to see a real one. Mine was a Revell model kit that I built in the mid seventies. I put a lot of time into that one because it was the most beautiful car I had ever seen. Really enjoyed seeing this and seeing all those pieces in metal. As I remember the body and frame was quite complex. Really admired Italian design for that and to this day the 3500 GT is my favorite car of all time. I'm so glad to see that you had restored one and was able to see it in action today. Didn't fit in mine and it didn't go very fast. I admire you for restoring these cars and then go out and use them as they were built to be. You are the best at bringing these cars to life bless you for that.
Two Leno givens: his finely timed, comical quips, and his love of Vintage Air.
Jay, you are just so doggone likable and so interesting to listen to because you have such a vast knowledge of vehicles. Yet you are able to explain things so simply for the average person. It's fun learning things from someone who is talking at our level. Thanks for your highly entertaining and educational show!
Exactly what I've been thinking watching these videos. I really couldn't of said it any better myself. they really do strike the perfect balance between knowledge and accessibility. and his passion is so clear is makes everything that bit more involving. I have to say as well his choice of guests is perfect - he always gets all the right people for the right cars to really make the story and information to life
Man! do I love these shows.
As a through and through Biker I don't usually give cars much thought, but this car is bloody glorious.
Jay said something very important when he says "people don't understand...". A lot of people underestimate many cars because of this. Nice video, thanks a lot for sharing.
Hi Jay,
I doubt you will see this, but I truly enjoy your show. Makes me feel so happy to know that there are great mechanics and craftsman still practicing their trade.I admire all your projects and love that you take into consideration every aspect of the car when restoring it. I have a restoration project of my own. It's a 1979 Ford F350. Not a special or desirable car, but sentimental to me, as it was my grandfathers. It's the oldest car I have, and it's even older than me. (As a side note, I now can agree with you that thinner steering wheels are way cooler) There is so much I want to do with the car, but I don't know where to start. I am pretty mechanically intuitive but am nervous to take anything apart for fear that I won't be able to put it back together, or worse afford to replace it. I want to learn how to do things like put in Vintage Air units and disc brake conversions etc. I'm in school to be a doctor, so I'm not about to go to school to become a mechanic, but how do you find an old wise craftsman to teach you these things?
Fraser Cook Fraser Im not sure where you live, I live in small town nz so its probably a little different, But There are plenty of older craftsmen around willing to teach people there trade, ask around, join a car club or vintage car club you will meet heaps of people willing to help/teach, and before you know it youll find youre own specialty and be teaching others, good luck with the f350
thank you Jay´s, wonderful classic sports cars
This might be the most beautiful car ever
The automotive industry over the years have blessed us with some truly beautiful pieces such as Jaguars XK series. I even love the Jaguar Mk I I sedans. Hover, for true functional elegance, there is nothing more beautiful than the Italian "super car" of the late fifties and sixties. You are fortunate enough to have a truly fine example. Thanks for the video.
That's one of the best lookin cars I've ever seen.
Love that engine - beautiful!
When engineers built cars and not accountants....simply beautiful.
Maserati, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Ducati, Weber (carbs) all those Italian motoring excellences come from my hometown Bologna. I'm so proud of it!
Built in an era when such 'supercars' had real class, instead of todays bloated 'bling' and ridiculous specs.
I love vintage supercars but I also love modern supercars. I don't see why you feel the need to pick one side and dis the other. Both are great in their own ways.
NikoBell12 Yes, and so often hindsight is rose tinted.
Don't we all Wish we could afford some of the Newer Super Cars.
***** Good point.
manofweed1 You're right, 30-40 years ago all supercars were pretty close, price and performance wise.
Nowadays there are huge gaps in performance and price.
What an absolutely amazing car
+needraintodrift i second that man
I hear all the trouble and engineering challenges your engineering team had with the British fuel injection and I had the same experience with the rebuild of my Lucas injected Triumph TR6 fuel system.
I had the good fortune to have Mark Trounson & Graham Rundle (RIP) work their magic.
Never compromise, it's worth the effort and money.
It also helps, to have Mark's perfectionist attitude to engine building, blue printing and balancing.
This car is drop dead gorgeous.
oh my god, it's beautiful
If Jay was in a James Bond movie, i'd totally see him driving this car in it, keeping up with Mr. Bond's DB5 XD
Good call but I'd say the Maserati far outshines the Aston, and I'm of British heritage. - Personal preference, no doubt.
I always end watching Jay truly appreciating his knowledge, experience and advice
What a difference 6 years and a couple of tail fins makes. Unlike the 1956 Maserati A6G-2000 Allemano - a sad, hang-dog hashish of automotive design indeed, this GTi truly has the look. Especially appreciate Jay's appraisal of classic car values and look forward to his next, great Italian restoration.
My God - that car may even be more beautiful than the Jaguar E-type.
Producers keep asking for the stuff we like about these vids? I am constantly floored by Jay's encyclopedic memory of almost every single detail that he has learned about all his different cars. I wonder if he has notebooks on all of the cars that he goes through just before the vids are filmed? Not that it matters.
I SO wanted to know what all the engine work for this car ended up costing too. I would not be surprised to hear 10 to 15 k for all of it.
kerry krishna please! That's peanuts! Try 50k to 80k
I’m glad you made it to UA-cam mr Leno. Love your show ♥️ thank you
That $13,000.oo asking price in 1962 equates to $111,101.90 after being adjusted for inflation. It think it has held up well, in fact it looks better than most modern cars. Thanks a Jay for posting.
It reminds me of the old Aston-Martins. Any relationship in the body designers?
10:50 240 HP out of a six isn't bad. That's what I get from the M Roadster.
11:30 I had an old fiat that popped out of second - turns out the fluids had gelled in the tranny, making the first-second syncros stick. Changed the fluids and no mas "no dos".
Touring of Milan designed the body for the Maserati, also the Aston DB4 etc. The rear and side view of the Maserati is so similar to Aston’s Lagonda Rapide. I used to own one in the same colour. I think it was called Caribbean Pearl metallic.
Its funny how maserati went to england to find all the best components and yet still had to settle with lucas fuel injection
Lucas are English. I had a Triumph 2.5PI mid-70s which had a later version of the same unit. 2.5 litre straight 6. Lovely engine, but spoilt because they used cheaper injectors which were very unreliable. I love Maserati's, and would live to own one of these.
Morgan Weverink there's nothing really wrong with Lucas fuel injection. Of all of the components that Lucas ever made in their lifetime, their fuel injection unit vintage era, was probably the most stable and worthy component that they ever made. If you look after it it's rock solid.
Yes, Lucas, Prince of Darkness - at least in their electrical components.
you mean Lucas that started off in Birmingham England that went on to work on the Whittle jet engine helped jaguar win Le Mans 24 hour and was used by Norton, BSA, Triumph, Rover, Jaguar, Rolls Royce, British Aerospace and Ferrari, that became a multinational company that has manufacturing spaces all over the world now including in your home town of Vancouver. yeah that Lucas
@@reddog0820 They called Mr Lucas, "The Prince of Darkness", for a reason!
what a beauty. Touring of Milan creates masterpieces. The DB 5 is one of them too.
Thank you, such a gift to have this knowledge and history available to us mere mortals
Still waiting for Jay to take his Type 57 out of that corner haha
Next time I see a vintage Maserati lying around, I am just going to "grab it"...
Do you think Jay is slightly out of touch with the common man??????
Not including his car collection, Jay Leno's net worth is over 300 million dollars. You tell me, is Jay Leno out of touch?
Ok, I have to say this is the most beautiful car I have seen to date. So elegant and sporty!
The most beautiful car I've ever seen.
I've restored one, and seen a lot in my lifetime.
IN YOUR DREAMS 👻
I have a nice 64 GTI red with white interior. Problem is I do not have Jay Leno's money to finish it. Guess it will have to sit until I hit the Lotto.
Want to sell? I'm interested? I've already 2... one from '59 and '66 Sebring
TheKozlow, No not now, would like to restore in the future. I have had lots of people interested in it, but I am not ready to sell.
1nhman Thank you for answer anyway. If you need in future some tips, advice or some parts feel free to ask ;-)
Jay lives the gearhead dream!. I think all of us would love to have that garage and cars and crew as our play house!
Gorgeous. So many beautiful details, especially the dashboard. And that colour! Outstanding.
Anyone seen Jay with a Facel Vega? I'd love to see him do an episode.
Henrik Carlsen
Was thinking the exact same thing.
I had a Facel-Vega (‘63 Facel II) and the resemblance to this ride is amazing. And the Facel was also Ghia studio.
Chrysler Max Wedge 383 w/alloy Borranis. Was known as High-Performance Bank Vault because of the combination of speed, no rattles, squeaks, flexing, body-roll, and coachwork unrivaled by any other European builder. And fast.
Italian car design in the 60s was far ahead anyone else's in the world
picardbs And the engineering technology also, the racing stuff etc.
never heared of aston martin jaguar -the e type fastest car etcetc
I guess I'm the only person who isn't a fan of the E-Type... track too narrow and windscreen too vertical.
1961 e type Jaguar ahead of all.
2manysecrets Ummm, no.
Being an Auto body Tech and bonifided gear head I just love this channel!
If only Maseratis were this beautiful nowadays.
That thing is too pretty. It makes the driver look ugly, no matter who's driving.
@Robby Dey what’s with his hair? He looks like an onion dealer from Legend Of Zelda.
can't anyone make a new car, medium sized, 2 doors, decent sized engine, not a ton of electronic crap and sell it for a reasonable price? no, I guess not.
chieftp toyota gt86?
Bottom dropped out of the 2-door car market after the 90s. Even young single people drive 4-door SUVs now
Not with current government mandates.
@@glorialotz3333 yep. FMVSS make producing a new 'retro' with minimal electronics in the US impossible
If we do that, we won't make as much money in our dealership repair shop!
first time I see this model but I like it and the colour is perfect. I could drive it every day!
WOW. THANK YOU FOR GIVING US THE OPPORTUNITY TO VIEW THIS EXQUISITE BEAST.
TO BE A CUSTODIAN OF THIS BEAUTY WOULD BE SUCH A TREMENDOUS HONOR.
THANK YOU SIR. AGAIN.
