1974 Porsche 911 - Jay Leno's Garage

[@DustyCompany]

Why are all these kids in the comments looking for every reason to pick these videos apart? These cars are dope, the guy is kinda dry, but clearly loves what he does. Jay is always the same so I don't know why it surprises people. This was a cool video and I'm glad these cars are out there getting driven.

[@themadplotter]

welcome to youtube, where a 10 year old gets the same likes as a guy who dedicated his life to a car model.

[@mvb819]

Kids who have never even changed oil in a car, much less learned about the machine

[@ScorpionF1RE_USA]

There should be separate children's and Adults KZbin

[@davislane3204]

I’m 15 and I love all of jay Leno’s videos! I love classic cars much more than super cars. These videos are definitely a treat for me

[@koalaluv6894]

Like you said.. they are kids 🐨

[@CoelhoSports]

i like how jay never edits out the real world stuff, like the clutch mistake around 19:50 and in another vid they show one of the gopros falling off the car and getting run over. most channels would edit that stuff out and have special location shots and carefully chosen wardrobe, etc. this is just cars, no bullshit, in jay's garage. great channel.

[@frankdamelio1351]

Jay is such a gear head. It’s not a clutch grind at 19:50 it’s flatulence ... And he even apologized for it.

[@jeremymtc]

I really like Marlon's design ethos on these cars. Very functional and simple without over-wrought detail - it seems he lets the cars be what they are at a basic level.

[@j0hnnykn0xv1lle]

Guy shows up in a old t shirt - that's the sign of a working man. Love it. And Jay always leaves his ego at the door, with his questions. Great show.

[@endlessbender]

The best part of this video is at 19:54 when Jay grinds the gears, and apologizes, they didn't edit it out. Also, the sound of that blue car when he gets on the freeway is beautiful.

[@antonioc3768]

Marlon, cool guy, no ego, knows his stuff ! Great episode Jay !

[@grandizer4531]

911s are some of the best built cars in the world.

I have a lot of respect for Jay, leaving in that gear grind. He could have edited that out.

[@tomasnokechtesledger1786]

Right after the guy said that it was an especial gearbox 🤨

[@mikeymonty]

19:45 Wow what happened there... And I agree this is such an honest piece!

[@jdubmash]

I used to have a ton of respect for Jay until he went WOKE

[@TheKitchenTechnician]

Yeah little gear grinding isn’t gonna do anything harmful.

[@davidmuse1351]

Great interview and presentation by Goldberg -- confident, informative and enthusiastic without being pandering/anxious, etc.

And it looks like he gets paid mostly in food!

[@JurisKankalis]

Another of Jay's great episodes. Thanks for being around!

[@trainships1795]

Jay still drives like he's in Boston,Mass. Cutting People Off Left and Right.

[@zinkracer]

Nice video. I had a '74 Carrera, and of course regret ever selling it. We saw Jay perform recently at an outdoor summer concert at the Biltmore here in Asheville. He started right on time and did 90 minutes of non-stop funny. I laughed the whole time. We are so lucky to have Jay and his love of cars. Bravo, Jay!

[@Mexxx65]

@ 19:53 Iconic vintage Porsche 911 youtube moment..brought to you by non other than Jay Leno's Garage! Expression on Porsche owners face...Priceless!

[@maynard4026]

Mr Leno sure seemed to be enjoying himself. That makes me happy.

[@oliverrojas7117]

Thanks to each individual for helping make this video and for paying homage to art, Porsche, and spirited driving.

[@glennschmitz1709]

I read some of the comments, lots of assholes dissing a really good person. Get a grip. There is not one of you that have not missed a shift. I do not care who you are.

[@danielt.3152]

Miss a shift in your own car, treat someone else’s with a bit More care

[@photohounds]

I ONLY ever missed shifts when girls were watching . . . wasn't thinking with the right head, I guess :)

[@noth606]

Lol, actually I can't ever remember having done "lathe work" in a car, however if we expand the pool to include tractors with non synchro boxes yes I have, many times. Anyway, my only comment to people when they do it is "shouldn't be doing metal lathe work without safety goggles". The only way to keep something without wear or damage is to never use it, which is stupid.

[@jamesdunn9714]

Yep, I have missed my fair share.

[@jstample]

The only people who haven’t missed a gear are those who haven’t driven anything with a clutch

[@nineringsh]

The look on the owner's face was priceless when Jay ground the gears a little! What a hoot.

[@brettneuberger6466]

I actually love the 74 bumper. As I was growing up, my dad owned one of only 195 or so of the 2.7 Duck tail, Carrera Targa’s in the US that year. It was his daily driver for years and I have tons of fond memories in that car. From him driving me around my paper rout on cold, snowy Sunday mornings, to him “burning exhaust build up” while speeding to Grandma’s house on the open road....the top packed neatly away in the frunk so my little sister and I could fully experience wind in our faces at 130 mph. (No worries though, we were safely lap-buckled into our jump seats.) Good times! Unfortunately, the car met a said demise as thieves stole it from a parking lot in Phoenix in 1990. It was eventually found dismantled and parted out. Dummies!!

[@mgsboedmisodpc2]

Jay fits well in this car. Many 911 have good fit.

[@v.e.7236]

One of my all-time favorite cars. Never owned one, but got to drive a '74 and it was the nicest handling car I ever drove. The balance was so spot on it made driving effortless. These days I drive a poor man's Porsche - a '65 Chevy Corvair. Vairy fun!

[@HenriSipra]

Respect to the the team for not editing the bad gear change out. Remember Jay is always driving totally new and unknown cars to him.

[@scotforman1894]

Dear Mr. Leno, I really love your videos and the things I have learned from them, witch is a huge amount, more then any other source. But I am so sorry for the horrible comments that people leave. More than 80% have nothing to do with the cars. Please please do not get frustrated with the small minded group, and continue to be the salvation for the rest of us. Thank you Scot Forman

[@ToddKing]

I agree with you Scot. Reading through YT comments will make you concerned about the future of humanity. The number of people who feel they need to tear others down in order to make themselves feel better about their lives is amazing.

[@scottgolden2766]

So true the amount of negativity. Enjoy your car whatever it happens to be

[@tuomasholo]

I love the air cooled engine sound!!! Thank you Jay for sharing.

[@jamesdunn9714]

i owned a 911 once. I really enjoyed the mechanical feel it had. I may never own another but I can watch a well presented video such as this and drive vicariously. I enjoy the videos Jay does. Wonderful. And, quite a few are on Porsche, my favorite automobile.

[@daryltaylor5191]

Rarely am I motivated to write about anything, but just a quick note to say thank you for all the programs you post. A talented host, presenter and comedian without question, but first and for most a real no nonsence car guy. The Resto Mod's are a particular favourite, not something that happens in the UK much, absolute sticklers for originality. I have a small collection, race cars mainly including Graham Hill's 1973 Embassy Shadow DN1 Grand Prix Car currently having a ground up rebuild after a little off I had a Zandvoort. Once again many thanks and if you're ever in the UK you're more than welcome to visit.

[@aheatherw88]

The 911's from the 1970s and 1980s are my favorite.

The sound of that engine!!!! What a car.

[@edwaggonersr.7446]

Always appreciate the way Jay treats the guys that do the work. Good man!

[@analogspam]

A 911 that runs and is not rusty has never been cheap in the Northeast. I sold totally rusted out ones with dead engines, for parts, for more than Jay mentions, decades ago.

[@jamesellsworth9673]

The GREAT THING in this video is how knowledgeable and passionate Jay's guest is about his cars and about what he does. Love those details!

[@christophercolumbus8944]

is he right though? you're an old guy yourself were these porsches $400? ? ? why were they cheap ?

[@Shamrockjason]

This guy's face when Jay grinds 3rd... Priceless

[@Jean-mx7lt]

There truly is nothing more wonderful in life than driving a air cooled 911 Porsche, l owned a 1988 SC , I just love the feel the sound the relationship the driver gets with these wonderful automobiles ,it's now in the hands of my good friend Jay Lloyds in Ontario, a Porsche restoration air cooled master mechanic, if you are ever in the Toronto Mississauga area very close to the Toronto Pearson airport drop in and see him he truly is a wonderful book of knowledge and awesome human being . It's just sad that these cars are becoming so expensive that the regular guy who truly loves Porsches might not ever get to experience the joy !

Jay Leno's "very nice" is the highest praise one can receive.

[@Etienne_Diecast]

Jay needs to feature his mustard yellow Porsche 911. He hasn't done that one yet (only resto blog). Nor the Citroen SM...

I want Alex Roy to join Jay in both of their SM's driving around LA and compete which will go wrong first in some way.

[@Halliday57]

Matevž Malenšek Alex is selling his SM.

[@user-wi2gb3hv5w]

Doesn't he also have a brown one?

[@Etienne_Diecast]

Diesel 871 I believe so, I thought I remembered seeing it in the background once or twice. He has quite a few vehicles that haven't been featured yet! I like Jay's personal collection more than the guests... ; )

[@user-wi2gb3hv5w]

I agree! I remember seeing it in a couple restoration blogs. Would love to hear the story on that. I believe he said it was a doctors and he bought it from the widow. Also I wonder if Jay has a Singer Porsche?

[@Rob901]

video brings back memories of when I had a 1977 911S. was such a fun car to drive , it got to 120mph pretty quickly. I should have kept it to give to my son. crazy the value on the old air cooled cars.

[@XiTER96]

I'd Love to see an old Saab! A 96 or a 99, there's so much history in those cars and they are really rich in innovation and character:) Great video also Jay

[@bonisilemgidi3896]

That awkward silence for a few seconds after that gear grind! The owner/restorer was close to tears...

[@ScorpionF1RE_USA]

OK Junior

[@hallquiche]

I think this is one of most gorgeous 911 models ever. I like the one with the small rear-lights even more, but this looks seriously beautiful. The Miami blue is in my opinion the best color for any 911. New or old.

Not sure who's eyes get bigger, the owners or the other drivers when Jay cuts them off. PS. Lane control and blinker use needs improvement. Did I say that?

[@Frocobo]

All these restomodded and upgraded cars, though absolutely stunning, are really pushing clean stock car prices through the roof.

[@nicholascremato]

I just think the high prices are an illusion. It's still just a six cylinder rear engine car that needs too much maintenance.

[@NN-wd2vi]

... and the earth is flat!

[@nihonhikikomorikyoki]

how is it an "illusion" if people are actually buying them for high prices?

[@OMGWTFLOLSMH]

+Weedr - I think he means it's an artificial market, a bubble. There are a zillion old 911s out there, they're not worth what people are paying. The prices are slowly coming back down to earth though, if BaT auctions are any indication.

[@jooproukens800]

I agree, Stock is the way to go imo

[@danielwiley5796]

LOL the look on that guy's face after Jay ground those gears was priceless

[@wat6816]

should've driven the grey one as well!

[@G50_GT3M3CSLM2C]

Perfect response-his creative outlet/his personal taste you either like it or you don't-these cars are built to be restored (because each model has a different personality) and can be kept for multiple lifetimes

[@Badtaste21]

I like how Jay sometimes accelerates while the guy is talking and he then has a hard time to finish his sentence.

[@Pannemat]

Liked before watching, hahaha.

[@beakerbiker3033]

Loved the missed shift too! Glad it wasn't edited out. Great vid Jay!

[@petedavis8701]

Great cars I would like the understand grey one if I had a choice

[@daleandrews9356]

I have always wanted to own a 911, even since I was a young man and I just turned 67. I've had 3 Pontiac GTO's in the past, so I'm familiar with high performance American muscle cars. I had to get rid of the '68 since I owned it in the early '70's and the oil embargo sent gasoline prices sky high, so on a student's budget I just couldn't afford to drive the gas hungry car,and it drank LEADED PREMIUM! But I've always wanted a 911. There was just something about the prestige and mystique of it that had captivated me. Hats off to the owner(s) of them. I'll bet they're a blast to drive!

[@Infantry4Life.RealWarFighters]

I owned a 1974 911. I should never sold it in the 90s.

Really? The guy is a car geek to the nth degree! Answering with complete knowledge that is much deeper than 99% of Porsche owners. The quality of his work compared to most resto shops is astonishing and doing things like rebuilding gear boxes with a special "recipe" of gears gives him the right to answer this like a science. Don't just dismiss him as a hipster --
