1964 Porsche 356C - Jay Leno's Garage

[@masterdinosawr]

Jay Leno doesn't have a garage. This is a museum. He has so many awesome old and modern classics AND so much old racing memorabilia. It's truly amazing. So glad he will continue to update this KZbin channel even after his TV Show deal. Massive respect!

[@DeepDuh]

That John guy was really soothing to listen to, now I can fall asleep happily.

[@arjiecustoms1946]

Lool was just thinkin he's sloooowwww

[@ClayLoomis1958]

+Arjie Wraps That was my thought. Sounded like Prince Valium.

[@IntegraDIY]

+Arjie Wraps hes now slow, its just.. whats the rush :)

[@regsparkes6507]

+DeepDuh You're right; he could give Garrison Keillor 'a run for his money', as they say. Soothing guy to listen to,...I too nearly dozed off, I was interested mind you, just that I was too comfortable. Then Jay imitated a fast gear change while they were on the road, and made me fall out of my chair.

[@jaratt85]

+DeepDuh I was just thinking he kind of reminds me of Sam Elliot, just not quite as deep of a voice

[@DJMotoVlogs]

This was one of the best episodes. The car was lovely, the owner and the builder were nice and tons of technical information. More episodes like this please.

[@flat6fever680]

Agreed. All 3 guys were joyous during their screen time. All of them even Jay a little perkier than usual LOL.

[@robertreasor7522]

In the early 80's I had a 1974 914 2liter LE Bumblebee. It was basically a loaded with options 914 with a special paint package and front and rear sway bars, front spoiler, Mahle wheels etc. I loved that car! It wasn't fast but on a tight road it was very quick. A neighbor guy who looked like he was maybe 19 had a 356 convertible. We got together and he drove mine and I drove his. To be honest right then and there I fell in love with that 356! My car was a pristine example of the 914, cared for it's entire life but the 356 felt so much better built and like it would just last forever. Honestly I didn't tell him that my ego wouldn't let me but I pretty much fell out of love with my car and in love with that 356!

It was a real pleasure to see John Willhoit describe his processes and enjoy your friendly banter in this video. It's always great to hear real car guys discuss the trade.

[@jaguarmgbgt2551]

In the late '70's, I drove a friends worn out 356B. I knew i had to have one. I opened a "Porsche bank account" and deposited to it every month. In 1979, I couldn't stand Buffalo, NY anymore and cashed the "Porsche" account and bought a 1974 MGBGT to drive to California. When I got there, I was sitting at a stop light at San Antonio and Middlefield and there was 3 - 356's waiting in the other directions. I still have the MGBGT and drive it all the time. I don't see 356's, much less 3 of them, at stoplights anymore.

I can't afford about 99.9 percent of the cars jay shows on his channel but he just makes it fun and interesting to watch I don't feel too bad. thanks jay :-)

[@astrogen1960]

Great episode. John Willhoit and Rob Dickinson at Singer approach modifications similarly; hours and hours of engineering and design, before producing their own proprietary parts to function better than the original. They really love what they're doing and their customers are the beneficiaries. This detailed look into John's workmanship was just great. Please Jay, send us more like this!

[@northernzeus768]

Back in the 80’s… my neighbor had a 356 in his garage. As a kid… I was enthralled with it. Never had seen such a car up close. A thing of beauty.

[@charlesearle8414]

356s are just so amazing. They're beautiful in a way that very few other cars are. They're so happy looking with the frunk making the car smile. I would love to have one one day.

[@galoon]

I agree! The 356 is my favorite Porsche; I still think it's the nicest car Porsche has ever built--it's styling has a certain unique charm that no other sports car has.

[@cwsam1256]

These episodes are such a treat. I like that the cars are the highlight, not annoying house background music, stupid schticky 'insider' pranks or 5 frames per second views of 5 different angles of the car flashing across the screen. Great job Jay!

[@jhendricks203]

I drove my 1961 356sc cabriolet for over 300,000 miles with NO failures, discounting clutches, link pins, tires and conv. tops (3). finally rust from salted roads killed the frame. Most reliable car !

[@RamblinAround]

John Willhoit definitely knows his stuff. Great video Jay!

[@pacerodi]

Jay is picking is brain.

[@patrickpelletier6315]

This is i think exactly what we wanted to stay. At least i was affraid your "reviews" were going to be cut to 3 minute clips saying go check out the show and all that but im really glad thats not the case. Thank You JLG Crew along with Jay.

[@garthlundquist8316]

The 1964-65 356 C was the last of the 356 series. These later cars benefitted from many years of racing development. A primary example was the 4 wheel disc brakes. What was most striking to me as an owner was the build quality. Both coupe and cabriolet versions were leagues ahead of contemporary sports cars with the exception of hand built european exotics. The extremely stiff and solid monocoque body was also very light for a production car, weighing between 1650-1900 lbs. The trailing arm suspension was excellent in deflecting suspension loads from rough unpaved surfaces and led to great rally success despite the relative small displacement. The doors shut like a bank vault, an uncommon feature compared to competitors ie. Jaguar, Triumph, Austin Healy, and the like. My wife ran a 356 into a concrete pillar at 30 miles an hour and walked away. The doors both worked perfectly after the impact demonstrating how strong the structure was. The damage was limited to the right front corner of the car and it was successfully repaired. A sports car with a weaker body structure would have been absolutely totaled.

[@alchemistoxford]

What a lovely approach to the 356! John Willhoit ought to be regarded as a treasure for Porschephiles.

[@sarnaldo6602]

This guy is a great speaker. Public speaking and story telling at its finest

[@christopherseivard8925]

❤wow. He is speaking the language of Porsche. I wonder if I could put this into a Ghia?

[@SupercarAdvocates]

Now this is what I'm talking about.. beautiful car! Love Porsche, I can't stop filming some of mine

[@stinker43]

In about 1971, I was in college (University of Pacific, Stockton, CA). UOP was private school and most of the students were from rich parents, so had vehicles, which those of us with less funds dealt with bicycles. I needed transportation. A guy in the dorm that I knew drove a Porsche 356c, but also had several motorcycles that I could barely afford. He let me drive the Porsche, but I couldn't afford that (~2,500 in 1971), so I bought the 1969 Honda CB160 (about $600 then as i can recall), and drove it for ~5 years before I bought my 1966 Mustang

[@RebeccaHargate]

I have my dad to thank for my love of Porsches. He had a 356C before I was born. They sold it because they couldn’t fit a car seat in it. When I was growing up, he had an MGB. And before he passed, he had a Porsche Boxster. Great cars.

[@regsparkes6507]

I now have a new appreciation for a Porsche. Love that color to Anand, it is beautiful.

In awe over that head design. Lot of people, including myself (until recently) don't realize how complicated proper head design is. You can spend days just on Intake runner length/volume/cross section.. Learned something new. Never knew ZDDP (zinc) ruined catalytic converters. Cool video, absolutely beautiful car. Very 007esque. The good, simple, classy old days.

[@recoilrob324]

God bless them, but Porsche People are just nuts. Back in the late '80's I built a 1.7 914 for a fellow out of two clapped out motors...one of which had dual Weber 44 IDF's on it. Neither was really saveable so I used the best castings from each and installed new valves/seats/guides in them. Fresh rings...ect. I'm NOT a dedicated Porsche Person...just a hot rodder who built cars, so to maximize the Webers, it needed larger valves which I think were from a 289 Ford and exhaust from a Pontiac..whatever I could find that would fit. Took about a week to port the heads to match my idea of what they should be and took about 3lbs of aluminum out of them.:) Got it all together and once the carbs were tuned it ran really well...and the owner was a happy guy. Gave him a build sheet with all the details just so he'd know and he then went to a Porsche meet with it. Ran a gymkhana and drag race and absolutely cleaned house in his displacement class and got everyone all excited. 'What have you done to make it run so good'? they wanted to know, so he produced the build sheet and they looked at it...first with wonderment that turned to horror as they went down the list. He said you could read their lips as they read...'ford valves' 'chevy valve springs' ect...and they then started yelling at him that he'd 'ruined' it and took away his trophys and kicked him out! Fun stuff.:) That little 1.7 DID run nicely, and I have a better appreciation of old Porsche's now from building and driving that one. But again...Porsche people are crazy!

[@jmshaw357]

I was in a Mustang club that emphasized road racing, when we appeared at a track with our home built hotrods the Porsche and Ferrari guys would head for the exits like roaches when the lights come on. It made them physically ill when a cheap ol' Mustang came flying by them on the track. Even the Corvette club guys were uneasy.

[@jockellis]

Thank you. That’s the nicest thing anyone ever said about me.

[@thomaselliott573]

People are like that everywhere now. I know from owning one of the great motorbikes.They just cannot wait to be the next victim and justify how you have offended them. It is a great shame and the internet is enhancing it.

[@garthlundquist8316]

The snobbery has been going on for a long time. I had a 1956 356 A coupe back in 1971. Of course we blew up several motors racing everything on wheels on the street. I rebuilt and modded the 1600 S Porsche motor, probably getting 100 hp max. Finally I installed my new highly modded VW motor with about 125 hp. That 1650 lb coupe was very slippery and topped out around 140 at 8500 rpm or so. Lots of fun on Saturday night racing the GTO’s, 440 Challengers, and the like. But the Porsche guys hated me too..I had the last laugh. That motor lasted 10,000 hard miles.

An incredibly interesting episode. John and Jay really delved deeply into the Porsche 356 and her mechanicals. John Willhoit is a great teacher, he kept me inthralled in his areas of expertise. Jay being a fantastic interviewer, presenter and all round inquisitive man, kept the subject fresh, interesting and moving at a rapid clip. I should thank Dr Anand Rajani for making this episode possible, for allowing Jay and John to verbally dissect his beautiful Porsche, then allowing the customary "Garage" test drive. Ps, obviously I loved this particular subject just a fraction more than some others. Like many other subscribers, I look forward to the weekly "Dose" of "Jay Leno's Garage." A special thanks to Jay and the guys, you really have the best jobs in the world, working daily amongst Automotive greats, and historically significantly pieces of the Auto Industry. Sincerely, Mark.

[@PaulZink]

Regarding the ZDDP content in oils, necessary for older flat-tappet engines (as opposed to modern ones with hydraulic lifters), you can get "modern" oil that does have a high ZDDP content: Valvoline 10W40 "racing oil" specifically notes that it has "high ZDP content" right on the front of the quart bottle. And Mobil One 15W-50 synthetic has a generous 1445 PPM of ZDDP, according to their very informative website, which gives detailed technical information about the oils. What many don't realize is that the DOT only mandates low or no ZDP content in the more popular range of motor oils used in most newer cars (0-20, 5W-40, 10-50, etc.) and oils that fall out of that range, or "special purpose oil" (for racing, off-roading, etc.) are exempt.

[@urdaddywingnut7820]

I like that phrase- horsepower sells cars, torque wins races. It's so true. People are always babbling on about their cars horsepower. Or how this & that dream ride has this many hp. But, without those torque numbers, you're just blowing smoke

[@joejody7814]

Had a 58 VW with 6volt system. Driving at night .. the lights would go out come back on, but you hardly tell the difference. Winters in Arkansas, I would preheat the engine by filling an old oil drain pan with coals out of the wood stove and put it under the motor. Push the car out of the drive way , head down the hill, put the car in gear, clutch out. Always started no matter how cold. 12 volt actually reduces wire size. Wiring sized on amps not volts. Lots of aircraft went from 12 to 24 volt to save on wire weight. Great video. More for less is always best. Mooney, Porsche, and itty bitty bikinis and the weeist tee tiniest government like almost might barely just maybe fit on the head of a pin.

[@MrSteveo114]

86 he has to do that though, he has to keep the conversation moving otherwise it just becomes extremely stale very quickly. Listening to some guy drone on about a door knob for 10 minutes will put anyone to sleep lol.

[@terracethornhill]

Sweet car, thanks for sharing it with us. A minor correction though, 6 volt wiring is heavier than 12 volt wiring because with lower voltage, you need more amperage to move the same amount of energy. That means 6v wiring is heavier than necessary for running the same loads at 12v, which is a good thing - it's overbuilt. That means there's no inherent need to replace it when you make the switch to 12v. Not to say there might not be other good reasons to replace it. Automotive wiring lives a hard life, so in an old car, if you want a system you can really trust, the best move is generally to kick it all out and start fresh.

[@jockellis]

Someone told me the only reason the auto industry switched to 12 V was to decrease the expense for copper wire. I don't know this for a fact, but knowing that everything has to be run by the beancounters, I wouldn't doubt it.

[@terracethornhill]

jockellis Sounds plausible.

[@CompraRightNJ]

That combination of gray with red leather is fantastic!

[@doceigen]

18:58 Jay says, "Six volt wire is thicker…". And he advocates changing the wire? Thicker means, it carries more current, and improves the issues with voltage drop. In my 68 Chevy Truck, I changed the wires to even thicker than stock, so the voltage drop is lower, the lights are brighter, the starter more assured, the ignition works better… thicker is better. I'd run 0 gauge or 2 gauge everywhere if I wanted running 'cables' instead of 'wire'. My latest change did that to a degree, I ran a 0 gauge to a fused relay box next to the engine and from there 8 gauge to all the major components, wow… really excellent improvement! Someone needs to inform Jay.

[@desertedham37]

[@edb6783]

Specific thanks for the 356C piece and for introducing John Wilhoit. That 2132 mod with the short shifter would love to be in my 356, but I'm afraid it needs an interior rebuild first. Oh, I love the Baker, but 23 mph seems a bit tame...

[@TheHypnotstCollector]

I had a 1953 Porsche. Put a 1964 SC engine in it and a big bore kit. So it made about 115hp. Scooted right along. Sold it 23 years ago. Had a Karrman coupe, too. No one likes that sty[e but I think it looks great. In 1987 I sold a four cam long block to someone down in the Fresno area. He was a restorer with some "James Dean" Porsche's being restored.. So it might have been John. Then a long block sold for about $5000.

Oh that's cool. I decided to visit his shop with my dad, and this exact car was in his shop :)
