I've never seen Jay seem less interested in a car and I'm with Jay. No deal!
Those two are great a team.
Agreed!
Jay, you hit the nail on the head . A car for people with more money than brains. Enjoy the monsoon season in New England this summer . The rain forest has come to the north east ⛈️🌨️🌧️🌩️⛈️💦🌩️🌨️🌧️☔⛈️🌧️
'64 Fairlane. One of Ford's prettiest cars.
My cousin built a 64 Fairlane back in the 70's.
It had a 392 dodge hemi with a push button torqueflite out of a 65 imperial.
All built from wrecking yard parts right in his hometown.
His exhaust system was 4 inch irrigation pipe from the family asparagus fields.
Craziest car I ever saw for back in the day.
I've always had a soft spot for the '64 Fairlane. It was the car I learned to drive in. A 289 4 speed Sports Coup, black w/white buckets. Great lines
My first car was a 64 Fairlane 500 2 door hardtop. My dad owned a paint, body and mechanic shop and we restored it and I started driving it at 16, in '86 and dad passed in '92...I held on to it till my first divorce in my mid 30's....I miss that car and the memories it held when I drove it...I truly loved that car!
Super clean. Beautifuly done. Not typical for Leno and Osborne. Not enough power. More show than go. Need to tune it up. Cool. You made Jay like it.❤❤🤑👍
Thanks for watching our videos!
The Ring Brothers are creative and do excellent work. The problem is when you build a car like this that is designed to be a show car. You miss out on certain drivability and functional aspects that make a car great and fun to drive.
My favorite Ring Brothers car is probably the old Cadillac shell over the modern ATS-V. I don't like all the modern technology. But it's nicely done.
I bet they would be fun to design and build a car with
Bring 1 million$ and wait for 5 yrs.
that thing is cool
that pond, they stopped by, in traffic at 1:30....just a mile and half from my house,,
Jay has driven a real race winning polished aluminum AC 427 Cobra S/C. An Original 2 and a half Million $ version. He knows what brute side oiler power is. It was stored in his collection garage as a favor to the corporation that owns it. California fires can be a plus for folks like Jay, and people like me and you. I drove a replica of one in 2000 at Red Rocks near Las Vegas, Nevada. Just a detuned fiberglass 351 and still a real blast. The only creature comfort was something to hold on to, the steering wheel! My feet were too large to get comfortable in the tight available petal space. It was a childhood dream come true still. Living in New England full time would give me only a few months a year to safely drive the dream and I let it go for now. Time for this old guy's nap!
The Amelas one
What a car. Wheels are incredible.
Stunning. Esthetic is sublime.
Thank you for your courage.
👍It's beautiful!!
Yes we are spoiled. To put it in perspective this car is only 37 years removed from the Model T. When I was 12 my dads friend had a 64 Fairlane with the 289 hi-po. I couldnt have been more stunned if you put me in a jet plane. It started a fascination with cars that exists to this day.
The 427 FE. Great power house.
Nice car, I want it, nice change of scenery to getting tired of my old neighborhoods in Sunland, Sunvalley, Burbank, North Hollywood and so on.
Glad you enjoyed it! Subscribe to our channel for more videos with Jay and Donald on all kinds of roads! bit.ly/3RjleYp
Love Ring Brothers work.
This video highlights the vehicle development done on production cars. Those engineers take the basic recipe and make it fully functional.
Donald loving it and Jay at odds with it, the dynamic duo!!!
Did you notice, when Jay asked about the horn, and Donald said 'No' that Jay reached over to try iy anyway and the look on Donalds face and tone afterward? Like, you don't trust me? HA!
@@tomclayton6875 Yep!🤣
When Jay doesn't like something, he stays quiet.
love the huge smiles.
It's a nice car and even though you can't beat the modern-day multi-speed Transmissions, there's something still fun about the archaic three speeds where the engine has to work and slowly build to a climax.
Maybe now it's a dated restomod but it's still awesome!!
This is great content
Dig it, floor it again Jay
My late neighbor worked for a machine tool company that did work for the Ring Brothers... he may have made some of the tooling used to build Afterburner.
Beauty!
I love this show, I love Jay, I love Donald and I love the car but this is the exact type of car Jay bashes on other videos. We know Jay does not like this car. Also hats off to the video editor. I like that there's continuity almost thorough out the entire video. Nothing annoys me than when it shows the interior shot while driving and there's a car behind and the following shot there's no car anymore.
When I win the lottery one of my first calls will be to the bros in Wisconsin to see if they want to take on my blazer dream.
Ring Brothers ........ do some fantastic stuff !
I absolutely love their work!!!
Nice car
Lovely ride i will put a new steering box in.
The Ring brothers are Legendary and their cars are incredible. That being said, this car does nothing for me.
I don’t believe it complements they’re talents.
It felt like you guys struggled to be enthusiastic and to be able to say nice things about this car.
Maybe because the essence of the original car is gone. It's a great looking car. It is faster and handles better than a Fairlane ever did originally. But the soul and character of the car isn't there anymore. It's a too modern interpretation in my opinion.
Ring Bros are famous for making Million Dollar cars that nobody wants and are worth about a tenth of what was invested. I appreciate the work they do but have no idea how they are able to find people dumb enough to put a project in their garage. Fools and money I guess.
Wrong they were BRAGGING the car and the Builders UP ! IT went to SEMA after ALL !
@@SerPurple51 Faster ? I'm not sure about that, 64 FORD Fairlane Thunderbolts with 427s Stock , Average 1/4 mile elapsed times 9-10 second Bracket ! .
Interesting show
shes a bank robber / rum runner ilove it
Cool pro tunnig
For us lay people, Donald Osborne is like the Encyclopedia Britannica.👍🏻
It seems like a cool car that was over styled and engineered for wowing the show crowd. I'm sure with some tuning and driveability work it would be amazing. It has all the good stuff. I would go with a modern 6-speed manual just for fun. Starting over my build would have upgraded drivetrain brakes and keep most of the body stock with decent upgraded interior, great paint, clean and quick but not $500k unobtanium. BTW, 500 HP in a normal car is a ton. Their perception is a bit scewed driving 1000 HP cars nobody can afford.
Probably could use a little more gear, but I get it. It's just for cruising.
These guys, the contempt, they’re treating this car like the red headed step child at the family reunion
As a Ford guy I really like the car. The Roush engine really does it justice. However, the big drawback is it is too busy, too many custom pieces that add nothing to the car. And when or if they fail it will cost to replace them. Beautiful work, yup. It is just a showpiece, look what I can do. We always had a saying in our car club, if it doesn't run chrome it. And if you are rich have someone else build it,lol.
Jay's in love
Donald is trying to keep Jay awake.
Because the car is lame and Jay is struggling to not say anything negative. The reality is that this is another Ring Bros failure like so many of their "builds". Everything they do is overdone and pathetic.
I felt like Jay expected it to be a bit faster than what it was.
IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN.
Well so did I with over 500HP and Tq. Ring Bro. products are all about bling and look what I made.
@user-ql1pc7pi9x, they did not get fully in it while driving it, PUTZ.
@@sergeantmasson3669 I did make that simple observation whilst watching the video, you absolute beginner 😏
Uncle Jay, Killin' it.
Were they being staked by that tiny silver car?
Video car for outside shots...
@@kurtburkhardt5862
Kinda thought that. lol!
But thanks.
It has 3 point restraints but no headrest?
It's evident the suspension is highly taut. Ring Brothers don't fool around. Their machines are quite formidable.
Nice Show Car. Cheers 🇨🇦
Actually muscle cars from the 60s and 70s were quite powerful with hp in the 3 and 400s range and Tq in the 400s + range were impressive. The problem was the 2 a 3 speed transmissions back then were terrible at using that power efficiently to lower E/Ts. There was so much power loss in the gap between each gear back then. Sure they were fun because you could feel the power in your chest. Add modern tires, and modern 6, 8 or 10 speed transmissions to those old 60s and 70s cars and you will knock a whole sec. off your original E/T.
TOO BAD IT RIDES LIKE HELL! BEAUTIFUL CAR THOUGH WITH THAT EXCEPTION.
Wonder how many times Jay has been pulled over..... And Actually how many tickets he has gotten.... And how many he got a pass on cause of who he is
Beautiful car but I think the directional wiring needs to be looked at
Don't forget....Jay comes from Mass
The hood is floating on top of the grill, i really hope it's done that way...
Want mine with 572 ford racing crate auto cross suspension and manual transmission.
Sadly, it's just a replica of a 64' Fairlane. The only thing original is the VIN plate. They both were struggling to find positive things to say about it. Has to be quietest conversation between them yet. I wasn't impressed with it, either.
1:19 I think that Mark Stielow's 69 Camaro, the "Mule". It is one of THE first Pro Touring cars ever built.
This RB build is cool, but not one of my favorites.
It is "The Mule"! And there's a full driving video coming soon, stay tuned!
I think they missed the mark on this build. Jay was be polite in his review I think.
👏👏👏😆🤭Jay will break it in. A car is meant to drive & I 😵mean drive damnit!!!, and not to just sit in a garage or a museum!
CARS AND CIGARSSSSS
I don't get it. What exactly are the pretty, unique, standout styling cues of the '64 fairlane? The taillights look good but anything else?
The side trim.
THE TAILIGHTS LOOKED BETTER STOCK.
@@TOBYH everything did.
I know a 60 Oldsmobile had a ribbon Speedo. The car seems to run like a dog. My old SBC 69 Chevelle, could blow the doors off.
IT LOOKS UNDERPOWERED? WAS IT?
MAYBE IT NEEDS AN AFTERBURNER?
Notice how they didn't talk about the engine. Probably got it from a junkyard and painted it and put on fancey valve covers, then painted 427 on the hood.
I like how they are being polite and making excuses for this car for its bad handling and performance.
Could have been a nice car except for the GHETTO PIMPMOBILE REEHUUMS and no tires. Looks like a gang cruiser. Even low riders use 13" wheels with actual tires.
That car is not running right, it needs a mechanic. Over 500 horsepower with no traction control in a carbon fiber car that weighs less than 3,000 lb would be a handful to drive, lighting up its rear tires anytime you floored it in first or second gear.
Does anyone else see the hood bouncing up and down?
Ring get's $1 million for these cars, not sure about that.
My 17' Super Sport Camaro 6 speed manual with 455hp and 455 Tq. Will blow the doors off that thing. I step into mine at 30mph and I fish tail it until I let off. Jay steps into this and it looks like its straining to go. Put it back on the trailor Ring Bros. and tow it to the next show.
Hard to get excited when the people driving it seem bored to death
I’ve gotten into nutrition lately, and I like fine dining, but both you guys need to discover nutrition !
Sounds like the trans was slipping!!! You punched it and it went nowhere.
It seams it's car left for show duty, and should even be trailered to cars and coffee. After all you wouldn't want to be spanked by a rusty old Chevy Spark. I don't like the black bumpers no matter what they are made of. The tailpipes are asinine, I'd do everything possible to make those unseen until they were reworked. I like the original Thunderbolt Fairlane more.
I've always liked the fairlane but it's not something I'd put "unlimited" money into...
Please forward this video to Newsom and AOC. I want to see them have a hissy fit.
no way that thing is that slow = they have it turned down.
Th ring bros,can't get behind their builds.
Hard to be enthusiastic about something that is essentially pointless. Not a vintage car, but despite the $$$ performance never lives up to expectations. (Or modern equivalent like an AMG/M car/ Cadillac black wing etc.) it’s a weird world, that to my eye, has more in common with $500,000 watches than it does enthusiast cars. I’ll take the Bizzarini 5300 or the AMC 390 any day, This one is not as egregious as most restomods, (no 22”s thank God) but carbon fiber trim strictly for the look is still cringy to me. I love the Ring Bros, but chocolate syrup on top of chocolate ice cream with chocolate sprinkles on top, is well, too much chocolate for me.
Poor Jay, he really had to struggle to find something positive to say about this one. I had the same reaction, yawn. Don't even think a stick and third pedal could save it. That ridiculously over engineered sun visor? That remains horizontal when lowered? Brilliant. I know, I know, it's a show car. meh
This should have been an all EV mod because nothing about this car is right. I feel if Jay new he was going to have this encounter....he would not hv "denim'd up"!
The sun visor design is the equivalent of taking a mouse trap...removing the mechanism...laying in wait to throw the remaining block at the mouse in hope that this somehow blocks the sun.
Toooo much 😂
BAD, ASS, car
Thank you! We will be having similar cars on the channel in the coming months so make sure to subscribe! bit.ly/3RjleYp
2009 high quality isn’t 2023 high quality 😂😂😂
Jay reaching over to touch the steering wheel while under power was rude if not dangerous!
I'd rather own an actual 64' Fairlane, drop a 427, modern 6spd manual in it, upgrade the suspension, brakes, tighten the chassis, other upgrade odds and ends and it would be more of a show stopper than this Bling Brothers car.
try to stay awake Jay
Donald was running out of ways to politely say the car is a dog.
The build quality is off the charts. But the aesthetics are meh. Too cartoony.
LOOKS LIKE THEY MADE CHANGES JUST TO MAKE CHANGES.
@@TOBYH - I agree. It was already a good design and they really couldn’t change anything significantly to make it look better. Reminds me of gorgeous women who get plastic surgery. You look at them afterwards and say to yourself, oh, man, big mistake. Ring Bros are great surgeons but outcomes ain’t always an improvement.
honestly i dont like the interiour. especially the dash looks like playmobil retro. similar to the 2005 mustang.
Still better than not trying at all
Ring Bros. products never really impressed me. They seem to be more about bling, than driveablility, performance and practicality. Basically trailor queens and round the block test drives.
It's still a Ford at the end of the day 🤔??
Everything considered it's a great car ......🤷✌️
For the money I`d buy 3 Porsches` .
I don't like this build but would still rather have this than 3 Porsches. I'd rather have 2 Corvettes though.
incredibly slow
IMHO, Jay Leno wasn't impressed with the car at all. I damn sure wasn't either.
Ring Brothers , the "Eh" of car builders.
The sunvisor tells you all you need to know about the entire schtick of these builders. Overly complicated, underly functional.
Why is Jay Leno now promoting electric motors in classic vehicles!? Saw a video where he said the best thing for the classic car culture is to go electric!!! 👎 I immediately said who's paying him to promote this crap!?
Stock is much better looking. The Thunderbolt model was awesome.. This car is ugly inside and out and way over priced like the rest of the crap the ring brothers fleece their customers for !!!
Exactly. Fords factory Thunderbolt performs and looks a lot more bad ass than this.
The guys developed a business which caters to guys with more money than talent. This "car" yet another great example of the negative consequences of income disparity.
Typical Ring Brothers, wirings issues, powertrain issues etc.
Auhh.....there's highly articulated and well engineered "restorods" and then there's this. A light years advanced gobberlygob of insane tech..that well.... basically sucks. Way overboard..
