David Lee is my favorite guest on Jay's show. Seems like such a nice dude

[@MCSalamouny]

super humble

[@chrisdoylr3120]

Hhhhh

[@adrianpowell3924]

I agree. He's fantastic and think he's just a great guy all around

[@coryjohn4057]

I was so impressed with David. I thought humble and just down to earth. I asked him a question about Jay and he responded.

[@technom3598]

He isn't at all

[@blossomrusso6457]

One of the most gorgeous cars I've ever seen...

[@MrTolgig]

You're a blossom fan, you know nothing about beauty..

[@SantaBarbaraBiking]

Whoa!

[@marcryvon]

Big Hoss Aaah, but YOU do I guess ??

[@lewzero]

I always loved how the Dino looked, but when I heard "v6" even as a 5 year old, I went "That's not a _real_ Ferrari, dad!" This one fixes that in the most amazing way possible.

[@finaplexEOD]

Hard to believe this is a 70's model vehicle..love the curves and flow...absolutely gorgeous!!

[@ArmAMajor]

What can't they make cars like this anymore, with the nice curves and chrome bumpers!

[@lovecarsTV]

The car is a work of art. Absolutely amazing

[@CynicsGuideTV]

Bellissima!

[@ArnoModelstate]

Just like Jay says "some purrists will hang him for it" I would say "why not do it course it's still all Ferrari" and it looks like it's even a flairs model. It's Amazing !

[@GETUPANDGO]

Everything about this car is gorgeous. Those body lines are so beautiful!

[@robertmanfredthurrigl9424]

Yes but totally spoiled by those bathroom railings for bumpers !!

[@topsecret1837]

Robert Manfred Thurrigl Who said bathroom railings couldn’t be luxurious? Those bumpers fit the look.

[@topsecret1837]

Tom That’s a racing car, not a road car. The Dino is beautiful partly because it doesn’t try to be a 330 p3. It tries to be the humble brother of the mid engine super cars of its day, delivering remarkably mediocre performance in exchange for the driving experience and not being so spectacularly rare or unreliable you’d have to purchase a second of these cars just for parts.

[@marcryvon]

@@robertmanfredthurrigl9424 Geeez, Bob, those bumpers are stock. They were on OEM ! Remember that in early 70's, 5 mph bumpers were mandatory. Remember those hyper ugly rubber bumpers most manufacturers had to put on - like MGBs, Jags etc.or enormous chromed US cars had ?

[@peace4myheart]

Man, David Lee seems like a very cool fellow to hang with.

[@G-Force_70]

[@aaa84gt]

airlopez21 He is a nice guy for sure but he's full of himself too. I followed his Instagram for so long and had enough some day. I don't think he's dishonest in his business practices neither. I thought he was a bit much of "me, me, me" type. And now I feel bad for giving him a hard time. :p

[@saveriosalemme5366]

This is my absolute favorite video of all time. The car is one of the most beautiful and amazing Ferrari’s I have ever seen. A great tribute to Dino Ferrari, Enzo would have loved it.

[@Ekphrasys]

Saverio Salemme Enzo was still alive and kicking when this came out !

[@marcryvon]

@@Ekphrasys I guess Saverio talks about that specific restomod car. At the time, Enzo actually despised the car. V6, mid-engine, 🤮, not Enzo's cup o' tea.

[@sympathiser_of_Germans_in_40s]

@@marcryvon he didn't despise it, he wasn't sure if it would be right to put a Ferrari badge on a v6 car especially considering this was during the time Lambo came with the Miura so they spun it off as Dino

[@birlove1471]

One of the finest cars I’ve seen Jay test drive. A thing of beauty - a work of art commissioned by David Lee!

[@laserbeam1620]

Such a great car! Those headlight covers make the car 1,000 better looking!

[@charliedimarco120]

Saw David driving this car last Monday in Pasadena, in the real world the fender flares are perfect ! The flares balance the look of the 17" wheels and lower profile tires. Saluto to Mr. Lee and his build team !

[@Roadstar1602]

Now THAT is a beautiful car.

[@robertkilgour4960]

David Lee, that's brilliant. Thank you.

[@garrettglass8854]

Really amazing car. I like how Jay and David get along. This video encouraged me too, I’m almost 40 so I’ve survived Muscular Dystrophy for far longer than most with it have. Didn’t know Dino died of it. But his story lives on. Beautiful car!

[@243wayne1]

Live life Garrett!

[@jeffmattel7867]

Stop making it about yourself you NARCISSIST.

[@butkusfan23]

Love it. The headlight covers look fantastic. It was a beautiful car but such an underperformer from the factory but now it’s amazing.

[@Porsche996driver]

Matty23 Ya the headlight covers give it a much more purposeful Porsche 904 look.

[@trevorodom1930]

Yea it’s sweet I would have put a 458 Italia motor in it for better reliability

[@marcryvon]

Actually, it was a good performer at the time ! Remember that Ferrari was in a tight financial slump. They needed an entry level, more affordable car in large volumes to make money. After being bought by Fiat (Agnelli), they cut a deal to mass produce (Fiat) a V6 but with exclusive heads and internal for the Ferrari more powerful version and detuned versions for Fiat models, all to cut costs. The interior was in vinyl too, no leather. Enzo hated the idea of a mid-engined, transverse design V6 car. So he charged his son to make it happened, but always refused to call it a proper Ferrari, not to upset his traditionnal, snobby clients, thus the name Dino.

[@butkusfan23]

Marc René Yvon that’s true. Thanks for the info.

[@ferraridinoman]

The Headlight covers were an optional extra (also the front badgebar) in the UK, I think I am right is saying they were not allowed in the USA, also the front indicators are normaly slanted but again for the US regulations they were modified to be "upright".

[@captainfactoid3867]

David is one of my favorite guests on this channel

[@jakybakey8473]

He's a sweet guy with sweet cars.

[@805NAVE]

Same, I really like the guy

[@ampark09]

He's a little too in love with himself.

[@vargohoat9950]

[@marcryvon]

ampark09 You're just jealous, admit it ! The guy is a succesful young business man, makes a good living and he spends his dough on his toys as Jay. Deserves respect.

[@TheEuroCarShow]

This Dino is the best looking Dino I've ever seen! Mr Lee, you're the man!

[@805NAVE]

David Lee is an awesome guest, one of my favorites.

[@cheguevara5940]

What a beauty! What a piece of art!

[@randyc1954]

Mr. Lee is my favorite guest. His kindness to share his outstanding car collection staggers me. Their friendship and mutual interest is nice and real. Jay has done much more for the auto industry than he ever did for late night tv. Thank both of you for sharing with us. In a dreary world with problems on every hand you can sit down and enjoy the nice parts of life anytime you want.

[@ScottSummersLV]

Beside the fact that this mod looks like a work of art, you know it's Golden when Jay has no criticism towards it. All smiles and compliments with solidified proof of enjoyment when they take it out for the joy ride. I hope to see more vids like this and more from David Lee in the near future.

[@GETUPANDGO]

This car is absolutely striking...I love a lot of cars, but this is something special

[@jjones2509]

[@storyteller1749]

Another episode that I have watched numerous times. The Dino is probably my favorite Ferrari. Such great lines. And David Lee's addition of the bubbles over the headlights just completes the look. And oh the sound of that engine. Damn.

[@stevenswm9844]

I love the way Jay incessantly interrupts his guests, but not always verbally, but sometimes with the revving of the engines, letting them know one thing for sure... "I ain't really listening to you Buddy!" hahahaa See a prime example, when right in the middle of explaining something, a burst of engine noise cuts him off in mid-sentence, and Mr. Lee looks like - WTF!!! See it @ 14:11 !!! ...and have a laugh!!!

[@theinformer2615]

LMFAO for reals!

[@ClayLoomis1958]

Jay didn't interrupt him. David finished his sentence, which ended "...but everything else is original." BTW, the guy is good friends with Jay, and has been on the show many times. Lee also owns 50 million dollars worth of cars himself, so he's not to be intimidated, even by Jay. If he didn't enjoy being on the show, he wouldn't be.

[@theinformer2615]

Clay Loomis I think he means that Jay started the revving before he finished his sentence. Yeah, he managed to finish his sentence, but the revving was started before he finished, and it was enough to totally change the expression on Lee's face. To me, it was a funny moment, and I'm glad he pointed it out. And there's a difference in being interrupted and being intimidated...you're mixing apples and oranges, and that's not what the guy said. Also, I would imagine that most anyone who subscribes to Leno's Garage is aware of Mr. Lee's collection of cars, and his good relationship with Jay. And if you're gonna talk about things that everyone already knows about, then it's for sure that people already know about Jay's habit of interrupting people...as it's been talked about in these comment sections many times! bye bye

[@ClayLoomis1958]

Well, thank God you cleared THAT up.

[@jakybakey8473]

Of course. I think I'd have a hard time not interrupting someone if my foot where in that thing!

[@Elbowbanditest2003]

@@gdp1121 hmmmmmm the lights were a bit off on the normal version (the vents that looked like eye lashes) i think this car is more beautiful but the sv could definitely compete with it. I'd still love an original miura p400 I just prefer the headlights on the s and sv, in fact ide take one over this.

[@clubdinousa8700]

Dinos tend to evoke that reaction ...

[@vika0194]

Except the orange reflexes in the front. Ruin the look.

[@MrGTO-ze7vb]

Dino Ferrari... a beautiful TIMELESS body style.!! I drove these years ago with the original V-6 and then a GT with the V8. The V6 was a boring dead dog.. The V8 was a blast because at 250HP and only 2500 pounds the power to weight ratio was perfect for twisty Northern California mountain roads. David's EVO is a coooool mod..!!

[@Simpack51]

I loved the styling of the Dino when I was a young man it was and still is, a beautiful car. Well done to this gentleman for a sympathetic update to this great car.

[@8RuTu5]

Thats what i thought, i think they look a bit out of place tbh. Other than that, its imho one of the prettiest cars i've ever seen. Id personally go with 16' wheels instead of 17', but i guess they had to fit bigger brakes, so i understand why they chose bigger wheels.

[@akjones9909]

In its day the vehicle wanted to compete against the 911S. But when you drove over railroad tracks you knew the Porsche was better built unfortunately. The sexiest Ferrari ever in my opinion. I was blessed to have a 1970 911S which i had up to about 140 . The owner before me said he had it up to 159. Porsche there is no substitute. Remember we are talking about a 2.2 liter engine. This was my second Porsche in 1973.
