With an engine sound like that who needs a radio… One of my favorite quotes from Jay Leno.

[@gp.5989]

When I was kid my dad took his 305 out of a 78 Camaro and put a 383 stroker in it and put true dual Flowmaster 40s on there. I remember asking him why you never listen to the radio and he said a similar thing, "The engine is my radio."

Exactly. Awesome quote

[@kenhanson4015]

Watching Jay drive this reminds me so much of a friend of mine. He's 82, been a mechanic his whole life, and built a 30's era Ford roadster from parts. It has a Ford flathead, 3 on the floor, no top and no mufflers. He took me for a wild ride with spinning tires, roaring pipes, and no speedometer. Watching his windblown white hair and youthful enthusiasm, I said, "I bet this car makes you feel twenty again". He looked at me, grinned, and said..."sixteen". Thanks Jay.

[@AlfaRomeo156SWGTA]

@Odorous Smegma The best talkshow host ever in the world, legendary former Scottish and drunken musician, Craig Ferguson from Glasgow, who turned into the most American and most likable late show talkshow host whom really connected with his guests because he threw away the prepared question cards and started a conversation. Men liked him, ladies loved him. He was the best interviewer there has ever been, and a colleague of Jay Leno. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig_Ferguson He won a Peabody award and many other awards.

[@wirebrush]

He could probably have it. They obviously didn't use much of it. The original chassis and drivetrain and probably the body (noticed the cut wheel wells are now intact) are somewhere.

I used to work for Rick Warner Ford Truck Land in SLC UT in 1980 as a mechanic. I worked on these Broncos for customers. We used to joke that it could idle up a telephone pole in 4WD Low.

[@ReallyStrongGuy]

Was thinking similarly. He has enough money to pay for such things, but because of his fame and audience he gets speedy, VIP service and probably free. Good for him. And us!

[@ReallyStrongGuy]

@C L Exactlyyyyyy! That exposure is definitely a plus for Ford. Jay seems to be an extremely good guy. He reminds me of the cool uncle who wants you to use his cool stuff without reservation or fear.

[@ReallyStrongGuy]

@C L Yeah, my uncle was of modest means, but shared his prized possessions with pride and openness. Seemed to be so I could appreciate the finer things and aspire to attain my own dreams.

[@ReallyStrongGuy]

@C L My experience says the same. Salt of the earth usually beats upper crust any day of the week.

[@ReallyStrongGuy]

@C L I must agree. Smaller towns always seem to have better quality people. My theory is: 1) Reputation - If you do someone wrong, you will more than likely run into them, have mutual friends or family ties. 2) More focus on family and community, so longer term planning and compassion. 3) People remain human, not numbers. Less competitive for status and money, so less cut throat towards other people.

[@BadBlonde-CarHistory]

The sound is right!

[@user-tb5ns7hc5i]

Restomods too often deviate too far from the original design, feel, and purpose, destroying classic rare vehicles, when they should just be properly restored in a quality way using quality oem parts when possible. This vehicle is great because it’s still Ford, by Ford, and classy, keeping its heritage look. This vehicle will appreciate, whereas most restomods massively depreciate the value of the vehicle. There’s a reason stock unmodified classic cars are becoming so valuable... Their character and feel have not been destroyed. That original patina is nostalgic, and real.

[@TheBabyDerp]

@@user-tb5ns7hc5i I understand why they are valuable, but I am a car enthusiast. I like driving my cars very regularly. Those super original cars and restorations belong in collections and museums.I love the musuems and collections, but it's not something I'd spend my money on unless I was rich. . I think that for people who drive their cars, restomods are infinitely better. I am a broke college student and I daily my classic (along with a motorcycle). Restomods allow for modernizing and upgrading while retaining the soul of a classic. I am not saying I hate restorations, but for a vehicle that is gonna be driven regularly, restomods are better. "but this is an OEM factory built masterpiece". It really isn't OEM factory built in my opinion. The drive train is over a half a century younger. Sure it happens to also be Ford, but in this case they are so wildly apart in generation I wouldn't call this OEM at all. I mean yes, it's OEM by definition but we're talking 1968 Ford vs 2020 Ford. Basically 2 different companies ran by completely different people and completely different engineers but happen to share history. This Bronco could be powered by a Hellcat, and it would be just as cool.

I remember Craig's LAST show, 1 guest, Jay Leno. They talked about this bronco (before it had begun as a project) and how it was a 'joke'. But Leno told Ferguson "I'm going to do something with it". Finally, he did. Since that 'finale' show, I've always wondered what happened to it. But I just KNEW it wasn't going to be a 'restro', had a feeling somehow Ford was going to be involved. And I'd LOVE to see Craig's reaction. Congrats and TY, Jay, for keeping it 'looking' original!!! (well, as much as you could)

[@robertdragoff6909]

If you were visiting Jay would he set up lights along with the camera? It feels like we're just visiting and Jay is showing us 1 of his cars..... Maybe he can open his next video with a monologue?

[@lincolnhatley2767]

It s awesome to see him still having a blast even in his older age

[@jasoncarpp7742]

Hey Jay. Another awesome episode. I love this "Pandemic" Edition, where you have less people in the garage, other than yourself, the cameramen, and an occasional mechanic(s) to maintain your cars. I've always loved the 1st generation Ford Bronco, probably more so than the 2nd gen offered between 1978-80. :)

[@sirsteele]

Now, we need to see Craig's reaction to the Bronco... In fact, we need to see Craig Ferguson period! Beautiful Bronco, Jay!

[@TheJBSFamily]

Craig was on a recent episode and jay showed him

[@mongo053ster]

Jay's best line in the video " You could get in a lot of trouble with this. " Almost fell out of my chair laughing.

[@Just_A_MG]

God damn it 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@markchip1]

IF they could find the body-parts!!

[@dannysart3990]

J putting in work during the pandemic. Thanks for the videos.

[@keithmckinnon7047]

Always liked the older Broncos just never found a deal. Only word for this one is, "WICKED" Thanks for sharing Mr. Leno.☺

[@kincerchassis]

👊

[@donaldneill4419]

This is frigging hilarious. Man, you've got to take Craig for a ride in this thing, and please PLEASE RECORD IT!

[@jamespfp]

SID THE CUSSIN' BUNNY CAM!!!

[@michaelbullington3182]

I'd say even better to have Mr. Ferguson behind the wheel.

[@underthetrees4780]

@@michaelbullington3182 that might be too dangerous, he can't start behind the wheel for sure, but once introduced to the absurdity maybe he can drive home.

[@SOMEBROAD1]

They’ve done it look it up

[@nattwitham7900]

Yeah, but Craig would be lookin' for the wheel on the other side!!!

[@krazyk57]

His giggle when he gets on it is priceless....😎

[@kentuckyblugrass]

My God, that thing is absolutely gorgeous. 👊

[@jeffenglish9714]

An American Classic that brings happiness to many… Our Parkrose high school mascot was a bronco. Thank you for sharing. Go Broncos! Jeffrey English Class of 1976

[@vincesina5417]

That Bronco is a Frankenstein freak and it's beautiful!

[@dizzy_derps]

I'd love to see him do an episode with Craig Ferguson showing off all the stuff they did to his old Bronco.

[@TheJBSFamily]

They did haha it was actually a recent episode

[@dizzy_derps]

@@TheJBSFamily Cool. I had to google it and looks like its just on CNBC right now.

[@SOMEBROAD1]

How fun was that!!! I’m actually a Ford motor company warranty clerk and if they ran their business the way they came together with this bronco for Jay Leno they’d have an amazing company.

[@ronaldhickman9953]

My dad had a 70 with a V8..... Dual gas tanks and all kinds of crazy stuff that was a wild truck, factory lift kit, sky blue bottom , white top, I was a little kid..... He was an army officer in the 70s.... I remember it well...

[@stevenpdxedu]

Just for a laugh, you should take the Bronco to a drag strip and do a few runs. Might surprise a few people. He he. Thanks Jay.

[@danmyers9372]

Did you notice that it has adjustable travel limiters on the front end just like high powered drag cars?

[@nkjellman]

This needs to happen.

[@RogueRipple]

Beautiful bronco, Jay! It would be awesome to have it in another episode where you take Craig for a ride and scare the hell out of him! Lol

[@fbiz01]

I had a '68 289 1/2 cab. I traded it in for a new Chevy Blazer in '72 due to my first child being born. I made a roll bar for the back out of high pressure gas pipe, put on fender flairs and double shocked the front. It was the pride of the Pismo Dunes back in the day. Wish I had it today, it is the rarest of the rare.

[@skeetermcswagger0U812]

Man Craig Ferguson keeps proving himself as a class act over and over and over again.....what a perfect gift to a guy like Jay!!!! If him and Mike Rowe had a collaboration there'd only be one TV network to watch.

[@306champion]

I reckon it's high time youtube gave us a "LOVE" icon to click on. I LOVE THIS THIS THING, bloody awesome Jay.

[@mdub1955]

That video ranks 001/001... first in class, only one in class. Beautiful!

[@johnroberts4647]

Jay Leno is the coolest celebrity. So chill and funny with mechanical knowledge and a love for motorsports 👍

[@kerryharvell3774]

I had 3 classic Broncos in the early 80s. Managed to get a buddy hooked on them too and when he went to college he bought a project Bronco and had a racing garage build him a 351m to drop in his Bronco. He brought it over to my house and I took it for a drive. Wow! 3 on the tree and it scratched rubber on every shift. Just a beast of a truck. He ended up selling it to a teenager and the kid rolled it less than a week later. You had to really know how to drive them or you would be in a nasty crash.

[@scottcass4243]

I remember sitting in one on the showroom floor at Geary Ford in San Francisco in 1966 when my dad bought his 66 mustang convertible.

[@markmnorcal]

That Bronco is mint condition would be worth $500,000

[@BadBlonde-CarHistory]

Cool!

[@edwinthompson159]

One of those "Good to Be Jay Leno projects." -- He looks like a little kid getting his jollies in that super-cool Bronco!

[@toddneuhart2439]

Jay, thank you man. You’ve taking a love of all things automobile and made it accessible for the rest of us who don’t have a couple hundred million sitting around. You seem like the kind of guy who would be our friend. A saying of ours is, I’ll drive anything with at least two wheels and an engine. I hope you know the kind of joy that you give, from your sharing, what must be a true love for you. Stay cool and God bless

[@SupremeFlexEtiquette]

Jay Leno is an icon. Fired for being a conservative... he took it in stride, and said ok now I’ll just go to my garage and show people what a real down to earth guy I am... and create the best streaming garage show on the internet. Legend.

[@waxmanvids5015]

I'm smiling nonstop whens he's driving it!!!

[@bws1971]

Maybe OJ would've escaped if he'd had this Bronco

[@steelers309]

😂😂😂😂

[@RichardSmith-ic1zw]

It wasn’t his glove 🧤

[@frankiedominguez1872]

The one time a bronco DIDN'T roll over was the day OJ initiated a high speed chase.😭 That could have been a dark advertisement in Ford's favor back then...

[@rossthomas7425]

Remember, OJ didn't drive that day. He was a holding himself Polish hostage.

[@wardochurchfan9166]

Richard Smith how is someone supposed to get a glove on when they are wearing sticky latex gloves?

[@MrMenefrego1]

My very first automobile was a 1974 Ford, Bronco with a 302-ci, I beat her mercilessly! But, she took it all in her stride, that little Ford was indestructible!

[@petemiller519]

I love first gen Broncos. Always did. Back in the early 70's that's all I wanted. Bought a '74 CJ5 with a 304, 3 speed and side pipes. It was a death trap on the highway, but I loved it. Wished I never sold it. This Bronco is awesome, love the growl of the Coyote.
