“I know there are faster cars, and there are better handling cars. But this just gives you such a connection, such a feeling.” That’s the secret sauce that is sadly missing in modern cars.
Feel of the road
I've been watching Jay for a.couple of 4 yrs or so. And Jay just.teinforces with every show, what a truly great guy he is. I'm really glad to be one of the millions who gets to enjoy all that Jay does. And has done for the gearheads in this time. Much appreciated Jay. Thks!!!
You got that right...
Lol, a Corvette killer ... you a Chevy guy 🧐
I took delivery of a '65 Mustang with a 289 cid, 4 barrel carb., 4 speed manual transmission on Sept. 22, 1964. Because of it's performance, I thought Ford had put the 271 horsepower motor in it by mistake. I street raced at every chance I got. That was stupid, but I had a lot of great times!
Wow. I worked for Jim almost forty years ago when I was in high school in a Cleveland suburb. I still remember him giving me a ride in his Sunbeam Tiger. Good seeing him again.
That's really a great story!
When chitwood came to allentown there colored add was in the sunday paper and that's when I was hooked
But they were chevy testers
I watched joe strap
his 8 year old son joe to the hood of a car and blast him through the wall of fire !
@tikiguyX3 Grew up in East Cleveland. I want to Superior elementary, Kirk Jr. High, and Shaw High School.
This car is seriously legendary. Mr. Shelby is smiling down on these gentlemen and the great Mustangs they build.
This is my kind of Mustang. I'd prefer this over any Corvette or Hemi. It's so good to see these old guys keeping the traditional alive. This is why I watch Jay Leno's garage, for content like this. The history and stories of Shelby is very interesting. Thank you.
Thank you for putting these gentlemen and the history they represent on your channel, Jay.
As the man said, you are "keeper of the flame" - a true steward of the cars you keep and
bringing public awareness to gentlemen like these is a great service to the hobby.
I owned an original mustang GT350 competition which I raced for several years the last three numbers of the serial number were 005 I don't know what ever happened to the car but I often wonder so looking at this video I began to appreciate just how much dedication and experience and intelligence went into building these cars and how important it is that their legacy be continued for a future generation I want to congratulate ovc for their dedication to keeping the flame and I want to thank Jay Leno for inviting them to his garage and making this video I have such wonderful memories of my car and I hope many other people will find happy memories with the cars that they can get from ovc
I just watched Jay’s video on the 2020 Shelby GT500. Amazing car, but I can honestly say this GT350 is the one I’d take. Can’t beat the sound of that small block Ford.
The original is always better 👍
Better than love.....
The GT350 will continue to increase in value as the new one loses thousands driving off the dealers lot.
@@StreetTruckinTitan Continuation GT-350's are NOT originals they have to start over just like a new car. These continuations will loose money coming right off the lot as well.
Scott think so?
This was Jay's calling, ''Jay Leno's Garage'' is infinitely more entertaining than The Tonight Show.
He made this calling happen due to the show though ;)
@@Xfade81 I never claimed he didn't, he's fortunate to have the money and opportunity he does, I'm was just observing that its clear Leno's in his element talking about cars instead of talking with celebrities about their next big movie/album.
Yeah this was his true calling, his love of cars is contagious and makes the show so easy to watch and Enjoy
The tonight show kicked him because he didnt support the piece of crap Obama when he was president so they got rid of him.. That's the world we live in..
@@revolutioniscoming That's probably one of the reasons Tim Allen had him on Last Man Standing, besides being a car guy himself.
What an unexpected thrill! So lucky that guys like this are inspired to build a beautiful car like that!! Thank you Jim and Ted....and thanks Jay for showing it on your channel....so cool!
Four speed and a 289. That beauty sounds like heaven
Been bored to 331cu in.
That sound. GLORIOUS !!!
Sebastian it Truly is
That car is rolling perfection and history in motion. Every single element of it and it’s execution is perfect. For me it’s one of the best cars you’ve ever featured.
Who wouldn't like to spend the afternoon with these two old timers and listen to their stories?
There’s three old timers in the video lol
"He had really good looking secretaries" Jay immediately changes subject 🤣😂🤣
Sad how the world has become that Jay can't even respond without fear of repercussion.
Not how the world has become, how perverted men have made it
lee van fleet dude do yourself a favor and shut up. Jay couldn’t even respond to a lighthearted joke out of fear of repercussions from people like you.
The guy enjoyed secretaries that were easy on the eyes, that’s all it was, get over it. He wasn’t harassing them or being inappropriate. But sure, continue with your antics, I’m sure some dim witted feminist somewhere is glad you spoke up. A true gentleman.
Cheers pal, lovely sentiments
Oh I'm being trolled, kinda exciting
Just amazing. Watching your CZcams on Monday mornings is the highlight of my week. Sitting here in my chair, sound down on the TV. The wife walks by and says "Monday morning and Jay?". She knows me too well!
This is the first car in a long time that really makes me wish I had more money. I can't imagine the opportunity to buy a continuation GT 350.
Megamillions and Powerball funding
The guy that passed on the original for $600.00 has got to have a sore butt from kicking himself.
HOT ROD magazine listed the price of one of these 36 cars at $250,000.
@@robbwiersma2596 The website says it starts at $250,000.
This and the new ruf yellow bird
My friend bought a 64½ mustang in 6th grade. He took me to 140 mph on milk crates and only one door. I've always loved Mustangs because of Cody.
140mph on milk crates back when men were men not playing video games 👍
"One-forty on milk crates" - what a naturally nostalgic phrase. What's Cody doing these days?
no seat belts needed
No computer control, only horsepower, this is a real masterpiece!
Points. Emp proof
@@zzygyy welll... Its got lights
@@zzygyy Only thing real EMP proof thing is older diesels with 2 or 3 wires for starter motor, lights and a glowplug. and everything else is mechanical.
@@enigmaPL Better yet you can get an industrial 6BT with a spring starter. Fab a turbo/intake flap and no wires necessary, or a cable fuel shut off instead of the solenoid fuel shut off.That is if you don't live in a cold area where glow plugs are neccessary
@@zzygyy Hell no, you need a diesel motor to defeat an emp burst.
My uncle use to drive his 65 Mustang all around our neighborhood in the early 70s and would take me along because the rest of the family thought the car was "too ugly and loud" and never went. He sold it shortly after that, in either 75 or 76 and I never saw it again.
"They got the tape player, all the modern things"
8 track baby
Matt McLoughlin lmao
If it works it will still be better than most other cars these days with tape players still in them.
That high quality tape reel just waiting to jam up and get stuck inside......lol
At least you aren't forced to have a wireless connection to listen to your own music like in some modern cars.....
My '70 Buick has the front speaker AND a pair of factory speakers behind the rear seat!
My buddy used to have a 90's Thunderbird, and when he bought it, there was a Lynard Skynard tape stuck in the cassette deck. Every time "Call Me The Breeze" came on, he'd drive a little faster. Good times.
Those were the days... So great to see these two legends continue the Shelby legacy. All my respect, dear Sirs!
Almost like having Shelby on the show himself, legendary! 💙
Truly legendary car, and the life stories from these gentlemen puts a smile on my face.
If I had the money I would be ordering one right now! Sweet car and made by men of history!
These old guys have had a great life and contributed to something bigger than themselves
Thats the most wow Shelby mustang I think I’ve ever seen
EASILY one of my all time favorite automobiles that has ever existed. Money aside, I'd take this over any Ferrari.
Watch Jim drive it here czcams.com/video/0ZApfHa0uVQ/video.html
If someone was to GIVE me a ferrari (cause gawd knows, I’d never buy one), I’d sell it and buy one of these.
Me too! 😊👍🏻
I would take the money after driving a Ferrari or GT350 once.
Me too! I might be afraid to drive it though. Too rare to be on the streets with mere mortal automobiles.
I love how Jay called a Tape player "all the modern things"
Great upgrade from the 8 track
I have tears down my cheeks. I remember the launch of the GT 350, and it still sends shivers down my spine !
I know the feeling. I had a 65 Mustang I drove in high school in the early '70s.
All this time passed and these are still just the toughest looking machines on the road. Sounds a little cold blooded sputtering thru town, but once the revs come up it sings so sweetly
👍
Jesus, these guys followed their dream as kids, and ended up in the heart of something epic and real. Then they dared to recapture some of that magic now. Respect gentlemen and thanks.
That lil stroked 331 is putting out a lot of power and torque with a hydraulic roller instead of a solid roller to boot. I’m impressed damn
Raw & pure. That body, still is as nice today 55 yrs later as it was in 1965. Thanks Jay, cool video & car guys.
This guy said “long story short” twice and still told the long version of the story 😂😂 that made me laugh.
Hahah
Reminds me of the episodes of South Park. Poor guy lol he’s just getting old
2400 lbs! There's a power to weight ratio. I'm 70 years old also. These guys prove old guys rock!
My 18 year-old daughter just got her GT350; she wanted a Mustang with a stick and, since she is junior at a very good university and got a full scholarship & a violinist scholarship, a dealer buddy hooked us up with a deal we couldn't beat on a Ford-owned GT350 we had shipped from Michigan. She loves her Mustang
Born in Whittier, ca. 1948, loved all the 60's muscle, had a ball, great memories!, thanks my friend! Gary in Oregon
Gonna wait for the end of the video before I ask why they said 1950.
Edit: No explanation. Typo
not car but crew
Niiiice. All the changes done for the right reasons, with most sounding like they were things that the original crew wanted on them 'back in the day'.
One word: legendary. What these people did with hearts, heads and hands is simply legendary. Thanks for having it on the show, Jay!
AWESOME! A GREAT PART OF HISTORY BUILT BY THE GUY'S WHO STARTED THE WHOLE THING.
What a great piece of history to have the original guys who created this iconic car. I was reading those same magazines as kid way back in the day. Great video!
You guys get younger as the drive progresses and this is a testament to how close to the original you are able to build these. Truly, nobody else can do that. Beautiful cars and accomplishment.
Awesome, just awesome!
A new old Shelby can't get much more real then that!
One of the best sounding engines I have heard of ALL of Jay's videos.
This is very cool to see this being done.
American engineering. Beautiful.
What an episode, story & crew.
This car is Awesome and got plenty of HP. I love how Jay drives a car he is never afraid to throw his foot into it..
Compared to Jim driving it, Jay is a grandmom :) Ofcourse theres the respect to someone elses vehicle by Jay as the should be , but Jim really kicks the guts on a different video :)
I keep my GT350 garaged in Gran turismo 2 (and in my heart)
That car has glorious sound!!
Ford's racing history is just so great.
These guys are still our heroes!!! LOVED THIS!!
🇺🇸 Pure American Nostalgia
This was my high school dream car back in the early 80s. I still have a Revell model in this color scheme that I put together in high school. As a widowed teacher and father, this car will never make it up my driveway, but I still love it.
I gotta say it it doesn’t get any cooler than this. Ted and Jim truly are my heroes for taking part and making the coolest car ever. I can only dream of owning one 👊
Thanks guys for having the passion to give the world some more Mustangs to enjoy. I love that you upgraded what was planned for the car. You've given the world the best edition.
The guys from Venice have matured, thankfully their cars haven't! Thanks to Carroll Shelby for his vision. Can't wait to see 'Ford vs. Ferrari!
To be fair, the SCCA designed the GT350 more than Carroll Shelby did. Ford wanted to go sportscar racing in 1965 (Lee Iacocca in particular) and they tried to shove the Mustang on to the SCCA but the SCCA were having none of it. Quite correctly they told Ford the Mustang was NOT a sportscar and to go away because they were dreaming. Facing this situation, Carroll Shelby went down to his buddies at the SCCA and asked them "What do I need to change on a Mustang before you'll accept it as a sportscar?" And they laid out all the changes which needed to be made. And from there, Shelby American made those changes happen in the form of mass production. Of all the Shelby Mustangs, the 1965 car was the only car which truly adhered to the SCCA's homologation requirements.
Spoiler Alert!!! It was a GREAT movie! lol
These Mustangs are a part of our auto history here in the United States and for that reason alone, they deserve to exist and to be cherished by the current and future owners.
Great car. Great guest. Awesome sound.
I love this car for the visceral feel that it is projecting. I grew up in a strong Ford family in Detroit. This car brings back the strong memories I have of that glorious period between 1963 and 1968 when Caroll Shelby and Ford ruled the racing world. I remember seeing pictures and talking to Ford engineers about the Mustang IRS. These guys are not BSing, it is the real deal. I always wished Ford had green lighted the IRS for production or as an option for the Mustang. I owned a 1966 K-Code hardtop. Jay is right the GT350 and engine pulls you into the driving experience. If I have one complaint with this car and it deals with switching out the original solid lifter camshaft for a high lift roller rocker camshaft. I have nothing against the roller rocker. I have one in my 1987 Mustang GT 5-speed Convertible. It does what it supposed to do perfectly in a 87 Mustang but not in a 65 or 66 Shelby GT 350. If you ever owned K code Mustang the beautiful sound of a solid lifter making power at any speed is truly intoxicating. It was part of allure of the 289. I know roller rocker makes more power but who cares. The car is an historical throw back to an era that a few great men got together and made something historical and unforgettable.The manual steering, high pressure plate clutch, un- silenced air cleaner, noisy exhaust and solid lifter cam was the strong allure of the Shelby GT 350 and 289 K-Code engine . I hope the Venice Crew will give the buyer the option to have a solid lifter cam in his GT350. Outside of that the car is perfect in its execution.
“It’s a street fighter” man I lust loved that
Hope and pray for your recovery Mr. Leno. Get well sooner. Love your cars and show!
The sound, The stance, The lines, The looks.. good old american car! Always love the mustang from 64 to 69..
I'd take one of these beauties over a brand new one any day.
The way this car is made exactly like it was, is unbelievably good. Imagine if we could do all old cars like this.
You are a true steward of all things genuine in automobiles. With print magazines sadly going away, it's a pleasure having your videos. Please enjoy this Christmas season.
I really love this. I love what Singer does to Porsches but this is just as good.
27:36 Mmm. Music to the ears.
Jay I really enjoy these type of videos. Thanks.
THIS is THE BEST of the Best... JayLo’s Garage!! What wonderful history and insight into the early Shelby era. I had a 64 Falcon, 289... crane roller, needle bearing rockers, vertex mag, hooker headers. Ran on weekends at Yellow River Drag strip outside Atlanta. Hearing the stories and now having these Gents build another 36 Shelby Stangs is just incredible! Thanks Jay for this incredible history lesson!
My Dad bought a 1965 Mustang for a work car. And when I graduated in 1971 he gave me that car. I drove it until I couldn't any more. It wore out and I had no way to fix it, so I sold it. I still miss it. You know the saying, " If I won the lottery I would do .....", well I would find my car and fix it. This car you just drove is amazing. Beautiful. And, thank you to the men who are keeping the dream alive. Jay, I hope you bought one of these.
Fantastic. One of the best JL garage vids. Lovely to have the original guys bring their knowledge and experience. Nice interview dialogue too.
I like how the hood was bowed from the hinge spring.
I keep coming back to this video because the GT350 sounds so damn good. Has a very distinct tone and sound.
In my mind the mustang has always been the most iconic car ever built. There is nothing like it. Just the history is just awesome. Thanks Jay for the video
This how clean the engine bay looked when my brother and I would work on his Sunbird when he had it.
Um....ok
jeffrey rogers shut up
HuggieBear39 that’s Cool Brother
I have a gay uncle that used to have a Sunbird.
Sunbird? They had engines?
Love the original GT350
This is one of my favorite videos. This Shelby car is truly one of the most iconic classic cars - I could watch Jay talk about it and drive it all day.
The one man I want to meet before it ends. I love how Jay is so sincere and down to earth with people. If I had someone to look up to, it would be him. Thank you for being who you are Jay, don’t change, you are a perfect example of true people, which is very hard to find now.
More 1960s Mustangs please, Jay.
You know Jay has a lot of respect for all things Shelby when he actually COMBS his hair for the episode!!! lol
Sweet ride!!!👍😎👍
I worked at Moon Equipment in the early 70's. I loved to hear Fred Larson talk about working with Carroll Shelby.
What a fantastic episode. well shot and very real guys. Thank you.
That was just magical, to see those guys recreating history! I was just a kid back then and have always loved the Mustang! I think that was one of your best ones! Thanks so much Jay Leno! ;)
K code 289, classic mustang, Shelby built.. What's not to love?! Great car Jay!
This car has always been my favorite. Nothing compares!
Sooo reminds me of that "Home Improvement" episode... when Tim had Ernest Borgnine and Jack Elam as two retirees from Ford on the show. :)
Wonderful episode-I love listening to these guys and the car is beast. Thanks Jay!
Doesn't get much better. That car has heart and soul, and lots of it.
The front valance/air intake looks awesome.
C'mon Jay, you gotta buy one of these continuation Shelby's. #36 perhaps !!! a matched set !
It’s a rule to blip the throttle when upshifting like Steve McQueen when in an old mustang.
Reaper5.56 Xx its called rev matching look it up
@Reaper5.56 Xx It's a piece of piss. When you clutch in just blip the throttle as you change up or down. Completely pointless but old timers had to do it on some if the really old manual transmissions. You don't need to do it on this.
Rev matching is when downshifting(changing to a *lower* gear) so as to not unbalance the car. You're normally doing it under braking so you're braking with the ball of you're foot/ toe end of your shoe, you're rock your heel onto the throttle pedal and blip it.
As the lad above said there are heaps of videos on that. But what he's doing here is.. kinda pointless(unless you're driving a 1922 Dusy) but very easy
Pointless but sounds cool. Lol
@@realMaverickBuckley Blipping on downshifts is pretty nice and not useless. I like not feeling the kick from the transmission when downshifting. On upshifts? I don't see a point to that, totally useless.
@@realMaverickBuckley I usually rev match when I drive my tribute. I use to drive a semi truck without using the clutch years ago, so when doing that, you had to pop the throttle when its in neutral to get the rpm's up, then you downshift in the next lowest gear. its fun to do.
Love these old guys being absolutely pleased from ear to ear about their passion and heritage, and being equally happy from Jay's experience with this gorgeous ride.
Tech and speed nerds can obsess over the latest, being demoed by younger people trying their best to be cool, as opposed to straight history and performance info.
Jay, you and Harry Metcalf have created my love affair for older cars, as well as my distaste for computers on wheels. Bravo for keeping true driving spirit alive.
One of my favorite episodes
Best looking mustang ever!
I was watching an interview with Carroll Shelby yesterday and he said he never actually wanted to build a Mustang & he hated when the Mustang got more muscle & heavier. He loved his sport cars. He actually never even wanted to develop the 427, but had to because Chevy was pushing their big blocks.
Deez Nughts what was this interview called?
@@mikeykachoow5944 look up "Carroll Shelby - the lost interview" on CZcams.
My favorite Mustang.
The 1965 mustang 2+2 Body was really an awesome design. my older Brother had one; a 289 with a 4-speed and keystone wheels. That was a sharp looking car.
