The Outlaw Porsches: Emory Family Masterpiece Builds - Legendary Custom 356s | Jay Leno’s Garage

[@Vamanaswastika]

Jay, you’re a legendary car collector. I watched your KZbin channel since the first day. You’ve inspired me a lot. Every episode you’re losing a little bit too much weight. Keep your health strong my friend the 🌎 still need you around just like we needed C Shelby.

[@tkreitler]

Zane and Drew seem to have their acts together. They have been blessed with being involved with a legacy, and it looks like they are ready to continue that legacy. I'm a British car guy at heart, but I love the niche that the Emory family has created with these old Porsches.

[@AudrainMuseumNetwork]

Thank you so much for featuring our cars! Hope to see many people at the Audrain Newport Concours & Motor Week Oct 3 - 6!!

[@sickjohnson]

You know Jay really liked it because of how long and where he took it! Well done guys...very well done.

[@critter1171]

Shame his reputation is down the drain, wouldn’t associate yourself with someone who did a skit on sexually abused children. Menendez Brothers

[@TheJB84]

I love this kind of stuff! Father and son team building some fabulous cars. My father was a huge fan of Leno and his passion for all cars. Every day and wish I could have had more time to build some cars, take some road trips, make some memories. I just turned 40 and picked up an old Mercedes SL to restore, its bitter sweet and sometime I almost feel his presence when I'm out working on it. As always, love what you do, Jay!

[@danv8717]

Massive respect to his children for carrying on the family business.

[@critter1171]

Will his children make a skit on the Menendez brothers too or is that only for Jay?

[@philipstrydomstrydom1821]

It so great to see younger people willing to work hard and with their hands , to have the feel and eye for the art of making these machines last and carry the flame forward .

[@ahrenmoessner4258]

That's so cool to see young people preserving classic cars and displaying amazing wisdom. The fact that the whole family is involved makes it even more special. They say some of us were born in the wrong decade. But we're here to keep the last alive.

[@radsk8rbigollies594]

I love it on every level. Love that these old cars are being kept alive, love the logical sense of making them better than new but keeping them looking stock and REALLY LOVE that it upsets the hell out of the “purists” that think you’re wrong for taking a classic and altering it with little regard over the original design. I think everything outlaw has done is tasteful and actually respectful to the original design.

[@johnplovanich9564]

Awesome restorations.The Emorys take a good cars and make them great cars.The senior Emory was the builder of the 1st Baha Bugs.They are artisans and honed their skills and talents over 70 years KUDOS AND CHEERS TO THEM!I personally have a 1960 356 replica convertible Candy apple red with saddle interior, with the Subaru flat six, 260 hp,5 speed,fiberglass body.Great handling and cornering and near perfect weight to balance with the engine it weighs just under 2,000 pounds.I in total own 10 classic cars from a Superbird to a 1950 Muntz jet.Just like Mr.Leno I drive ALL my cars and by the fun factor the 356 is my favorite.I but about 80% of the Porsche myself I have about 30,000 in it AND thats not counting man hours.I had 3 friends assist me.They all helped me for free,but they all recieved a bottle of Jack Daniel's single Barrel Coy Hill high proof.So that was 1,800 dollars and worth every penny.I wish all that read this response I hope you all are safe,happy and healthy. Cheers from Eulethra.

[@bhuuthesecond]

The son and the dad have the same voice and a lot of the same mannerisms, and both have great attitudes. Very nice to see.

[@JohnKorvell]

I'm sure it drives like a dream, but I could look at it all day. Great, flowing lines. They seem extra clean with the white/cream color. And the red interior is perfect.

[@joevanseeters2873]

Nice to see the Emory tradition lives on through Rod's children and family so when Rod retires far into the future, his kids can continue keeping the retro Porsche dream alive far into the future! The Emory Porsche is without a doubt one of the best Porsche's to own in the modern era.

[@kyotosal]

I love the white one!!!

[@GeertBossaerts]

So nice to see these young guys with so much passion for these old cars.

[@onlineretail3550]

Listening to Jay and Zane have a good long cross generational talk made this episode one of the best ever. Hopefully we’ll be able to experience more of Jay taking to the younger generation of auto enthusiasts.

[@verdict1163]

I love the attention to originality on the white car. I see people throwing away original parts that could be rebuilt in favor of reproductions that aren't the same level of quality. Always keep original parts where possible.

[@Jojolinn-c6n]

Unbelievable. Thank you both.

[@01FozzyS]

Glad to see the Emory name is going to be around for a long while!

[@darindelegal1102]

This has to be one of my favorite episodes so far. Your interviews are so genuine and bring out the real folks you're talking to. These Porsches are aspirational for me. I just wish you would have taken the blue one out for a run!

[@michaelh.9866]

I was brought home from the hospital in 1954 in my dad's 356 Normal. He traded that in for a 356C Coupe, Cream white with red leather interior. I got to drive it Once, when I was 16... My brother raced a Carrera Speedster, then an RS61...

[@M_IkeLeBlanc]

Can’t say enough good things about Rod - Great guy, great family, and great business. One of the nicest, most approachable people in the business.

[@Brian-os9qj]

Fantastic family continuity with flawless looks. Thxguys

[@erics7712]

Sharp kid. The future is bright.

[@daweigo6851]

Very!

[@mr.cooper2031]

[@blastoffblue]

Jay going on about the guys from the 1800's building these cars, goes for the ride with the kid from the 2000's. Bright indeed.

[@Jason.cbr1000rr]

Hes just mechanically minded I don't know what else makes him sharp (?) Also why is he's name ROD..

[@mishumihai223]

I'm not a Porsche guy but I really enjoyed the conversation Jay had with the young Emory during the drive.

[@bryandickerson5365]

3 svelte looking classics - 2 Porsches and a Leno! Lookin’ good Jay and hope you’re feeling it too!

[@57WillysCJ]

Great to see a young generation taking over and keeping this going. To many old shops of various kinds closing because no one takes over.

[@idokwatcher2062]

Of course they continuing when they fleece their billionaire customers for hundreds of thousands of dollars. The guy on the corner is restoring a beatle for a broke sailor.

[@angeloah]

This is awesome, Zane sounds like his old man, Drew made a rad outlaw himself, hes a blessed fabricator who worked hard as hell. You’re a rad guy Rod, can tell by who you’re surrounded by. Awesome video Jay and team.

[@petercasper224]

Mind blowing video Jay! Have your cake and be able to eat it. Very cool facts about both cars being shared. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to absorb this content. Jay looks a bit thinner than he has in the past few videos. I hope there are no problems. The God father of this museum must be protected! Top notch Jay.

[@terencecarter7793]

Yes, a lot of celebrities appear to be thinner these days...I actually hope it's semaglutide injections and not illness. It's least likely to be a new fitness regime...

[@azroadrunner9961]

Jay….so natural with the younger generation (son), I’ve been following since day one, luv it all! My favorite segment, hopefully more with that generation, you were so relaxed with!! Thank you for ALL.

[@octane2099]

Jay leno looks better, he looked sick last month, I'm happy to see him back.

[@critter1171]

Probably because he was called out for making fun of the Menendez Brothers being sexually abused

[@clutchcarabelli8054]

That Dynamite story was great and a great lesson if you know what you're listening to

[@danakraushaar3606]

Beautiful cars. Agree with Jay about the numbers matching weird trend of today. Get them on the road and enjoy them.

[@plane_guy6051]

It's all just BS made up by people who make everything about money. I used to see all this crap back in the day, probably around 2000 to 2005 when I used to watch the Barrett Jackson auctions where all these old farts were bidding matching number muscle cars cars up over 100k. All just ridiculous.

[@Supercruze]

What a nice young man. A dream job for him. Loved this episode and the driving scenes and car talk. Thoroughly enjoyable.

[@chriscarter7007]

"So, he's a forger". Lol!!! Jay, you rock!!!

[@mrhello6699]

Lol , it was the first thing to pop in my mind as well.😉😉😁

Love that jay actually holds on to his cars and actually drives a majority of them

How cool is this Kid ? God Bless him.. xx

[@davidklauer3422]

[@Ficon]

Pretty cool treat for Zayne to go for a drive with Jay. ❤️

[@mousearebec]

Gosh that young fellow was so knowledgeable and Jay and him had a great "teaching" conversation for us to see and listen to. The kid was so comfortable in his own skin, shall we say. Very good presentation this week.

[@Ch-ui6mw]

Aww, this is so cool to see Zayne here with his Dad. I remember when Zayne and his sister were just hand-held units, living up in the Oregon wine country. Excellent job on that 356, Zayne!

[@SvendSeegert]

What a sensible young man. Lovely episode! 🙂

[@bhuuthesecond]

I'm so glad the business will live on in the family.

[@quig89GMC]

It's always a great video when Rod Emory brings a Porsche into the garage. How cool is it that Zayne, his sister, and Drew now work with Rod? What an amazing story and the closeness of the family is wonderful to see. I have to say Zayne seems to be an old soul and he and Jays conversation was very fun. Thank you, Jay, for a wonderful video this week. Oh, and I'm with Rod I like the modifieds a lot.

[@DavidCormier-er7em]

I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed this episode. Thank you very much.

[@John-jl9de]

I miss my 1960 356B which I owned in 1973 as a young sailor. Unfortunately, the car's rust was so severe that it required a new floor which cost was above my means at the time so I sold it to a guy who said he could fix it. Later Porsches I owned were a 1969 911E, 1973 911S Targa, a 1985 911 Carrara, and a 1989 911 Turbo(930). PS, I sold ever one of these cars for at least what I paid for it after running them on the street and track as a PCA member.

[@dogsense3773]

Navy 73-77!

[@benprouty2446]

Great to see the knowledge and passion from the next generation of the family! As a 356 owner it’s heartwarming to see.

[@PorscheSC]

What a couple of beauties. Now those are cars! Unique looking.

[@bicyclist2]

My uncle who lives in Santa Barbra, CA has a 70's Porsche 911 SC targa. His wife has an original 356 speedster in green. These 356's are so very cool. Thank you.

[@gnws6]

Seeing the younger generation into these cars gives me hope for the future.

[@urbanstrencan]

Outlaw Porsches the legendary nameplate in Porsche's modding world. Jay great episode and great to hear from Emory family. Will you get one of their masterpieces ;)

[@jamesonpace726]

"Rich old guys throwing silver dollars into the ocean"! That's why we love ya, Mr Jay....

[@Anatoli50]

I was fortunate to own a few 356’s back in the early 1970’s. They were not appreciated by most Americans. As Jay said, why buy a 90 horsepower car when you could buy a 300 horsepower muscle car? Well, horsepower isn’t everything. We did a lot of street racing, and the Porsche was able to outrun most everything after a few corners. The drum brakes fitted to the 356B were “Alfin” ( aluminum finned) brakes. The huge aluminum drum had a steel inner liner for the shoes to contact with. Those brakes were the best of any contemporary sports car of the era including my Series I Jaguar XKE that was fitted with Dunlop disc brakes all around. Porsche won many a race because their brakes were still working well long after the heavier and more powerful competition faded out. The lightweight unibody was very stiff and strong, providing the perfect base for the VW derived independent torsion bar suspension. The rear swing arm suspension was the most controversial aspect of the design. Coming into a corner too fast required that the driver stand on the throttle and steer with commitment to prevent the rear from unloading and decambering the swing axles. Chopping the throttle would induce snap oversteer: you would soon find yourself leaving the road backwards into the bushes at speed. Most average drivers lacked the skills required to drive these cars to the limit. Those that learned the proper technique were rewarded. The rear engine weight bias also greatly increased traction. The Porsche was able to put the power down when others could not. Not every race is on a dry, flat track. The Porsche build quality was on another level completely. Nothing squeaked, rattled, shorted out, or quit working. Driving the car made one feel similarly to flying a small private airplane. The small rounded coupe body and low seating position enhanced the sensation of flying. Discrete pockets hidden in the footwells easily concealed your beverage of choice. The roar of the engine behind you was never very far away. The various available motors all preferred to be revved, not lugged. Even the lowest output 1600 Normal motor, known as Die Damen in German, could push the car to 100 mph, while only rated at 60 horsepower DIN. And unlike other cars, it could maintain that speed all day. My friend imported pristine used 356 Porsches from Germany for resale 1969-74. He lent me his 1964 356 C cabriolet for several days. It was a one owner car with 50,000 miles. Only one mechanic had ever worked on it since new. I was told that technicians in Germany would train on a specific model of Porsche and become a master of that model. It is hard today to believe in that level of competence and appreciation for a specific tradesperson. The Emory family must be the American equivalent.

[@CLCIII]

I was hoping for back to back drive with the two cars and getting Jay's impressions thereof. As Always, May God Bless you and yours! 😇

[@whodat630]

What a fantastic story from so many different angles. Loved this episode. 🚘

[@keonesilva3646]

I had a buddy in High school in Reno in the late 60's that had a pipe dune buggy his dad built on a VW chassis. He shitcanned the VW engine and installed a Porsche 356 engine. It was a riot at the sand dunes. ❤.

[@CharlesAAnnen-rh4mk]

I once owned a 1960 356B Super 90. I still teer over selling it to this day

[@Rick2010100]

I'm not usually a fan of pimping up vintage cars, but if a faithful reconstruction with matching numbers isn't possible, this is a nice solution.

[@wyattoneable]

Thanks Jay and crew. This was fun.

[@KevinFlory993]

I have been lucky enough to meet both Zayne and Drew. They share the same passion and love for the cars that Rod and Gary do. The future of Emory Motorsports is in great hands. Looking forward to taking delivery of my Outlaw next year.

[@Odawg3709]

Great to see a young guy doing what usually is done by old guys!

[@Flies2FLL]

"I don't look down upon the guys that have the replicas" My first attendance at a PCA local chapter meeting was NOT a good experience. There I was with my '85 928S2 5 speed, a car that could embarrass a whole lot of the air cooled cars there, and yet I felt quite a bit of pretension directed towards me. Nothing that anyone said, but I could see it in their eyes and nobody wanted to talk to me, save the son of Nort Northam, who had a 944 that he was restoring. The son was about 20, and I was 33 at the time while the rest of the attendees were 50's and up, but honestly I think it was my choice of front water cooled V8 Porsche that they simply didn't like. I never went to another meeting again and didn't renew my PCA membership. I rejoined the PCA in 2019 a few months after buying a used '14 Cayman S, so I don't know what the club climate is like now, but I'm in my 50's and still haven't attended a PCA event. It is a welcome breath of fresh air to hear Rod Emory say what he said.

[@1225KPH]

Around 1985 I met the owner of Renegade Hybrids. Andy had designed a kit to put a Chevrolet V8 into a 914 or 911. I had a chance to drive a very stock looking base model 914. It had wider but stock looking wheels and a 327 V8. I spent an afternoon hunting Corvettes and Porsches. I also attended a PCA meet at Riverside International Raceway and saw Andy get thrown out of the club for showing up with a V8 powered 911. I had a VIP tour of Porsche Stuttgart in 1987. Just me and Director of Public Relations Inga Schell. As we walked through the museum, I rattled off everything I knew about Porsches. When Inga asked what model Porsche I owned I replied, "I don't own a Porsche. I live in Southern California (at the time) and don't want to be associated with Southern California Porsche Owners." Inga nodded and laughed. 5 years later, I spent the weekends selling cars at a Southern California new car dealership: Volkswagen, Audi, BMW and Porsche. The experience validated my opinion of Porsche owners. The son of the owner had just taken over the dealership and had several bad habits. At least one illegal along with taking new Porsches home for the weekend. Have you ever tried to sell a new Porsche with 186 miles on it? Inga had a chart on the wall of her office in Stuttgart. It listed the distance from the end of the assembly lines to the storage lots, the distance from the storage lots to rail heads, rail heads to ports, etc. Porsche enthusiast would call and write Inga to find out "exactly" how many miles or kilometers a new Porsche should have on the odometer.

[@Flies2FLL]

@@1225KPH Interesting. When my '85 928S2 5 speed was imported, it had 12 KM on the odometer. Each 928 was taken to Weissach and tested, and this was why these largely hand-built cars (They were actually built on a jig like a model airplane, and the jig had wheels and the workers would move it by hand from station to station) all had 12 km/7 miles on the clock.

[@1225KPH]

@@Flies2FLL Somehow I KNEW you knew how many miles a new Porsche is supposed to have. By the way, during my factory visit I was allowed to drive a 959 for almost a mile! (With a factory driver sitting next to me.) Don't worry, it was a development car, not a customer car.

[@INFLATION.IS.BRUTAL]

I HOPE YOU STILL HAVE THAT 85' 928..🚘🤞💰

The light, precise steering is one of the highlights of a stock 356. I have to imagine it would be significantly heavier and less delicate with the tires on the Emory cars being so much wider.
