    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?

    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.

    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.

    I had the good fortune to have Mark Trounson & Graham Rundle (RIP) work their magic.

    It also helps, to have Mark's perfectionist attitude to engine building, blue printing and balancing.

    When I was in college I bought a 63 3500gti that had been converted. It had a Corvette 350 LT1, which I believe Maserati put in later models. The chassis was heavy, the body was aluminum and the car was, as Leno says, tough to maneuver around town. But it floated at freeway speeds and when you hit 90 you could feel the ground effect.
    And it attracted a LOT of attention.

    @reesepayton9984 7 років тому

    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!

    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.

      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.

    I honestly think this is the best looking car that Jay owns...and he owns some nice looking cars! I love the Maserati name, but have never been able to afford one. The best looking car of all time , IMO, is the A6 GCS with the 1954 Berlinetta body from Pininfarina. They only made four, so I could never afford one of those, but maybe someday I could afford one of these. Thanks for the video. Sorry it took me 5 years to post. (I don't think I've posted on this one before.)

      @sadiqmohamed681 5 років тому +1

      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.
