Jay Leno Picks His Favorite American Muscle Cars

[@josephjakubec9584]

Love Jay Leno, real car guy."It's a car, I drive it." Exactly. If you can't afford to drive it don't buy it. Tired of the investors buying cars and locking them away. Jay is not one of them.

[@magicsteve5523]

I know! People buying Ferrari Enzos or LaFerraris with the intentions of never driving them is the worst! It’s a LaFerrari! It was made to be driven at high speeds!

[@DevinEMILE]

@Jake DoesntLikeU My grandfather owns a 70s nova SS. Has never driven it. he bought it as a pile of rust and restored it to all original. Now i get him not wanting to drive it in the town he lives in. People don't know how to drive there. But for years we've all been telling him he should drive it, take a road trip with it after all the work he did on it.

I'd prefer a white '70 Challenger like Kowalski drove in "Vanishing Point". Having no resources to accomplish that, I bought myself a 2013 Chally R/T 5.7L/6 speed/3.73 limited slip as a retirement present. Fun to drive, plenty of power, shades of yesteryear.

Me too. The old challenger is plenty fast and is worth more $$$ than the hellcat.

[@johngerson7335]

The "Ford options story" puts me in mind of a friend who's mother let him do the options page on the '66 Nova Wagon that she purchased brand new. He checked off every "HO" (I'm pretty sure the motor was a 327 HO, basically a 'Vette powerplant) and rear-end/suspension upgrade option lol. Had a sleeper/tire broiler when it arrived. One day he was cutting donuts in the parking lot of the local burger drive-in while all his friends watched, and his Mom walked up (while he was going 'round mind you!), jerked the door open and snatched the keys! From then on, whenever he and his buds were getting up to stuff that was "questionable" and they wanted to get a rise out of him, they'd say "Hey man, here comes your Mother!", which never failed to make him look around to see if she really was! True story. Rest easy MagicBird...

[@steveo288]

If I remember right, Jay told the tricking his father story on the Tonight Show years ago. What he told on the show that was not in this video was, one day Jay was looking for something in one of his father's drawers and came across a speeding ticket his father had gotten in the car, for going 120 mph. Jay's knowledge of all his vehicles and motorcycles is amazing.

[@BeingRomans829ed]

The great thing about Jay Leno is how he can be so funny during a simple conversation. No script. No joke telling. Just his natural "funniness" coming out as he tells a story. Not all comedians, in fact very few, can do that like Jay.

[@gutz1981]

It warms my heart to hear his "Father and muscle car" story. I think (Me included) if you grew up in the 70s-80s your 30 something dad at one point had an old car that was in the V8 muscle range and you remember fond trips in it and you absorbed the energy both it and your father was sharing with you. It saddens me to know, that that type of childhood memory is going away now and our kids of today won't know that feeling of driving with your dad in a car that made you feel tiny yet strong at the same time. Miss my dad and that car.

My biggest regret of all my cars was selling my 1970 440 6 pak challenger convertible for 8 grand in 1982. The car had a shaker hood, 4 speed and a dana rear end. The hood alone goes for more than 8 grand today.

[@theoriginalpointby]

Leno understands brakes. He went with larger wheels to make them fit. Then, since he's freakin' rich, just spun his own custom hub caps to make them look period correct. Gotta love it.

Jay Leno is a true gear head, he is passionate about every car & motorcycle he owns. He builds exactly what he wants and he has a great crew of craftsman that work on all of his cars & bikes as full time employees, I have seen him frequently have others builders cars on his lift doing repairs, I distinctly remember the Ring Brothers wide body mustang, a customer's car on its maiden voyage have a rear coil spring issue that they fixed.

My second car (first was a 1965 Dodge GT, red with a half black vinyl roof that my sister originally bought new) was a 1971 Light Gunmetal Challenger with a black vinyl roof and the standard 318 engine. It was a demo from Ebbet Fields Dodge in Brooklyn and I paid $2,175 for it. Had it for 10 years and wish I had kept it even if it had to stand on blocks. Every time I see one of these 70’s Challengers it brings back great memories. I know this is TMI but at 68 years old I feel very lucky to have owned some great cars over the years that are now classics.

Jay said the 440 was a better street engine than the Hemi, which is true. But I speak from many years of experience when I tell you that the BEST Challenger/ Cuda engine was the 340. Far more powerful than what Mopar said, much lighter in the front end for superior handling. Best muscle car from the muscle car era, IMHO.

When I was a junior in high school, I loved the Olds Toronado when it first came out. I used to draw it all the time. All my notes, from when I was supposed to be taking notes in class, were covered in doodles of the car. Instead of listening to the teacher, I'd be concentrating on the Toronado sketches. That's probably why I got "C"s in those classes, and I blame the car for that. Jay's Toronado is the car I would have wanted. Same color. Those upgrades he's made are astounding. REAR WHEEL DRIVE!!

[@pathunter7003]

My first car when 17 yrs old was a 68 gold Toronado just like this one but of course no turbos and rwd. It was plenty fast with the 455 but it was all I could do to keep it fed with premium gas and getting about 7-8 mpg around town. It was a fantastic car for the time period

They really look overloaded with cheeseburgers to me. Like a big bodykit. Don't think they'll ever shape them the same way again. Because someone bought a new hellcat and drives it to work doesn't make them the coolest ever. Bringing '70 Challenger to work really shows superior intelligence and sass and style. There's NOTHING like classic cars. No airbags, no EFI, no abs, no traction control. Bare bones MUSCLE CAR

[@christiansanden8005]

Agree! The classics are best, my dream is the 68 Charger!

[@dyer2cycle]

..and what really kills modern cars are the tiny, narrow slits for windows..can't see out of them for sh@t..so they put in cameras...just put some d@mn reasonable size windows back in them...government mandated, I'm sure....

[@Shinkajo]

Old cars look great, but that's about it. Unless you want a museum piece, buy modern car.

[@alwayspete]

@Shinkajo Old cars are great to drive too. Even if something happens I can fix them myself. Pete :”)

[@geoffmcnew5863]

I LOVE his steam-powered cars! The '66 Toronado is completely INSANE.

[@REM44MAG]

I love how modest he is about have a factory engine built and named after him...

[@cometcal2]

I was blown away with J's sleeper restomods. Also, great interviewer. He knows to let the interviewee do all the talking.

[@officialclownbusiness7788]

that black Viper R/T-10 behind the Galaxy is sexy as hell.

[@jambutty2218]

Great show thanks. Love Jay and classic American muscle cars. Jay is still excited by these cars 🇬🇧

[@DwightMS1]

I never knew cars could be so interesting until I started watching Jay Leno's Garage.

[@OnlyTheEd]

Since he had no children, he developed a hobby, vehicles (Cars, trucks, tractors, etcetera).

[@concretewave2339]

OnlyTheEd no kids? Wow didn't know that

[@alanblanes2876]

Thanks for filling in all these details that we have been wondering about for years.

[@wtfiswiththosehandles]

Respect to Jay for even wanting to talk to this guy. Must be the worst interviewer I have seen.

[@Adamsbarnard]

Truth. Was thinking that and scrolled to the comments to see who else felt that way

[@daytona2134]

I was thinking the same exact thing. It was pointless for him to even be there. They could have just sent the camera person

[@SeanGodos]

He did seem star... or rather... car struck. Nice camera work, good stories, I'm not sure the young guy could contribute much after a 1,000hp reveal though.

[@HeriEystberg]

I'm more annoyed by the poor editing. For example, when Jay starts talking about the antenna, it cuts to a close up of the engine, and then back.. why? Makes no sense. It's always interesting to see Leno and his cars and, most of all, the stories accompanied, but I have to watch it again, because I missed most of the talking because I was thrown off by the poor editing.

[@CelestialWoodway]

He did fine. Always some asshole on the Internet bellyaching over anything.

[@jamesellsworth9673]

Resto-mod is a great way to save the styling I grew up with on American cars. Like Jay (in only this respect), I like best cars that are drive-able today, with today's suspension technology and braking. His standard sound/thermal insulation package is also so much better than we had 'back in the day.' This video offered nicely done vehicles from major makers plus the kind of touches the 'bean-counters' at Corporate headquarters would never pay for back in the day (assuming similar parts or analogous parts had been available.)
