1967 Bizzarrini 5300 GT Strada - Jay Leno's Garage

I wonder what the next steps are after the Aluminum is shaped with a hammer. Is it smooth enough to sand and paint it? Or do you have to use filler everywhere?

Arguably the most beautiful car ever created. After completing the 1962 GTO for Ferrari Bizzarrini wanted to take the concept to the next level and this 5300 GT Strada was the outcome. It is much like the human body... When viewed as separate pieces it is not beautiful but when assembled, can be breathtaking.

[@jlwilliams]

@@aliceshaw8265 "Leftists and the EPA"? It was the Trump administration that recently wanted to force the EPA to approve a higher percentage of ethanol in gasoline... to reward farmers for being a reliable voting bloc for him. I live in a farm state, so I'm 100% aware that except for a very few high-pollution areas where some kind of oxygen-bearing additive is needed during the summer months, ethanol in gas is just a "welfare for farmers" program. I use it because our state's [Republican] government gives it a tax break, so it's usually about 20 cents per gallon cheaper than non-ethanol gas, but I don't have any illusion that it's anything but a subsidy. Still, if you're going to subsidize somebody, farmers are a good choice, because in the event of trade disruptions, it's hard to switch people's metabolisms to "alternative fuels"...

[@172-e5s]

The stance is all wrong. Kinda ruins it for me

[@duygukayhanisaskank4915]

I agree. The stance takes a while to appreciate. It's purposely engineered into the design. It "centers" the weight for road-hugging stability & better handling when cornering. This odd design provides full advantage of the frontal "midengine" placement. The vents on the front fenders are functional. They provide an escape for incoming air. At high speeds, these fender vents will keep the nose from lifting. The rear fender vents provide an exit to keep air from compressing in the wheel wells. There-by, making the rear of the car stable at high speeds. Best regards, Ben

@@172-e5s I agree. The stance takes a while to appreciate. It's purposely engineered into the design...to "center" the weight for road-hugging stability & better handling when cornering. This odd design provides full advantage of the frontal "midengine" placement. In reality, the raised front is an optical illusion...viewing from either side. The use of a "slightly" different size tire on the front would soften the illusion. But I wouldn't advise it. When viewed front-on, it's difficult to discern the very slight lift//rise in the front. The front fenders are high to accommodate the complex suspension, chassis & steering components. Viewed from the side, the fender hump & the "tucked-under" nose gives an illusion of the car angling upward. In reality, the centerline of this car is virtually level from rear to front. Best regards, Ben

[@bigheadchannel7293]

Thank you Jay! You may have helped me solve a decades-old mystery with this video. I Caine from a family of automotive lunatics. Even as a young child, there was no car or motorcycle that escaped my notice. I felt I knew about everything, until one day when I was around 11-12yo, I was touring the backyard of an automotive repair lot here in Western MA and saw a gorgeous car sitting on a trailer. It was nothing I had ever seen before or since. I crawled all over it and tried to learn as much as I could. The car had obviously been sitting a long time, but it was in decent condition. I asked the mechanics what it was and they just said...”It’s some Italian job!” As you guessed, that made me more curious. I crawled all over it again and this time popped the hood. It had an in-line six that looked just like the engine in my Dad’s 240Z, with Nissan written on the valve cover. Years went by and that car finally disappeared from the back lot when the garage shut down. If Bizzarrini ever made a car using the Z-Car running gear, than I am certain that car was a Bizzarrini. As I remember, I think the body was aluminum, painted “root beer brown.” If Bizzarrini never used Nissan running gear, than I am back at square one. I am 53 yo now, so when I saw this car was 40 years ago. If anybody out there has any info. Let me know. It’s the one car that escaped me. Would love to know what it was.
