It makes any driver's day when you know someone appreciates your car. A friend and I were driving our cars abroad and passing through a village and 4kids pointed at his car which has some nice rims an exhaust and well detailed. He was the happiest dude of the group when I told him that the kids liked it. It's just a Toyota Yaris, but having your car appreciated, no matter the car, always creates a smile.
Once again, Bruce Meyer shows why he is one of the best and most astute collectors in the world. Bruce loves to drive his cars and share them with the world, he doesn't just hide them away never to be seen again. And this video shows why the smaller italian marques like Bizzarrini and Iso deserve just as much respect as Ferrari, Lamborghini, etc. Fantastic video Jay!
Totally agree! I had the pleasure of meeting Bruce earlier this year and take a tour of his collection. He took just as much time and enthusiasm with us, as he did here with Jay. He really is a class act! A true gentleman and a true car guy! Jim
@@robertgorham3755 you are a complete moron. This guy is completely down to earth and is obviously very generous with his cars. He may have wealth but he obviously worked for that wealth.You on the other hand are not only poor financially, you are poor in spirit. Don't hate on somebody just because they have what you want.
The car is impressive, but Bruce Meyer's knowledge is even more so. Bruce could easily host his own automotive site just as Jay does. This is one of the best videos I've ever seen here on Jay Leno's Garage.
Bizzarrini is making a comeback they made Bizzarrini 5300 gt revival corsa this year only 24 were made. There is only 1 video of it on TH-cam so far and its on Yutaka Yamagishi channel. Looks absolutely beautiful. Ferrari has competition....
190 mph?!! This is an engineering marvel to behold. To anyone who also appreciates this type of car and the spirit of racing, my hat goes off to you. Drive safe 👍🏼
In response to Jay's question toward the end regarding turn signals at LeMans: Yes. Back in the '60s even prototypes were required to have working turn signals. Smaller displacement prototypes and GT cars, knowing that they would be passed regularly by the larger displacement prototypes and GT cars, would frequently use their turn signals to let the faster cars know that they were aware of their presence and which side of the track they would be running, especially when approaching corners, and especially at night.
Absolutely correct! In that time period even the prototypes were required to have under chassis clearance of about 4", perhaps it was 100mm. I have a photograph someplace of inspection at LeMans where quite literally a box the height of the required clearance was being shoved under a car. This was eventually dropped as ground effects aero technology required less clearance.

Such a Perfect car to cruise the mountains with..!! Beautiful Italian design and Chevy Power Plant. Look at those air funnels to the Webers to the intake runners. FLOW. !!
Most beautiful sports car ever. My number 1 choice. Saw a Bizzarini parked outside a Costa Mesa shop in 1975, pulled over to check it out and instantly fell in love with this car.
I love watching this show because Jay is a true car guy. He covers everything from exotics to off road and includes a great history lesson. Well done 👏
Thank you Bruce for preserving and sharing this beauty! What a priceless car! Won LeMans, rarer than a GTO and looks better too... does this make this the coolest car ever? I think it must be!
Coolest car in the world. Absolutely my #1. Saw one in 1975 round Costa Mesa. Stopped me in my tracks. Recognized it from either a Road and Track or Car and Driver issue.
The passion in Mr. Meyer words, paint a picture. Its an honer to just listen, while he brings you back to the history of a pure thoroughbred. Even the way he touches the vehicle shows respect. Thank you.
What a beautiful engine! Thank you Jay and Bruce for driving it and letting us hear and see the car in motion. It is one thing to see these cars in museums but much better to see them being driven.
thanks so much jay. im a maximum chevy guy and to hear that 327 rumbling and screaming in the most beautiful car ive ever seen brought tears to my eyes, honest. thanks again jay
I used to envy jay Leno for his collection(yes I know he doesnt own every single car he has on video)but now I just respect him for bringing us all of these automotive pieces of art.
those were the golden years of creative engineering in the automobile world. you designed a car, then built it , packed a bag , got in it , drove to arguably the greatest race in the world with it and win the race. people are always criticizing me for putting a 745hp Whipplecharged LS3 motor/t56 trans in a E46 M3 coupe until they ride in it. the car is incredible and will hands down out handle, out drag and out top end 99% of the cars on the road anywhere today. 9.90s in the qtr mile, and its been 192mph in the mile. full interior, ice cold A/C, Heat, and ive driven it from St.Louis to Miami and Los Angeles round trips without any issues. Im happy to see cars like the code 57 being built by small 4 and 5 man companies . Hell a couple of guys from Denmark recently built a supercar. Creative imagination the will to do whatever it takes to build it produce it is how great things for mankind are discovered. theres very few people in the world like that anymore. Its certainly due to fear of failure and social media ridicule. Without question, that is one of the top 10 best cars ever built in the racing world . Very cool indeed..
Bizzarrini is making a comeback they made Bizzarrini 5300 gt revival corsa this year only 24 were made. There is only 1 video of it on TH-cam so far and its on Yutaka Yamagishi channel. Looks absolutely beautiful. Ferrari has competition................
Agreed! He didn't complain that the roads were closed, he acknowledged the people who were risking their lives while he was having fun in the car. Great man!
Thank you to Bruce Meyer, a true gentleman and a car enthusiast that seems to be a humble guy. Perfect match he and Jay. Thanks guys for giving us car guys a thrill every week. Happy Holidays to all. Prayers to the fireman and their families.
As usual, a GREAT show from Jay, but also MANY-MANY thanks to Bruce Meyer for his work at the Peterson Museum AND that he owns cars like this that he DRIVES. These cars (ALL race cars especially) were built to be driven, NOT to sit in a museum or a garage to collect dust. By the way, the intake looks just like the intake on the Corvette Grand Sport. Bellissimo!!!!!!
No, Bruce can actually drive and he really knows what he's talking about. Further, Bruce doesn't evangelize about solar power, EVs and hybrids while using a Seagrave fire truck as a daily driver.
Jay is just an incredible human being. So down to earth and just a joy to listen to. Bringing all these glorious automobiles into our lives that we would never get to enjoy otherwise. Thanks a million, Jay.
I’m absolutely head over heels in LOVE with the styling/design of this ‘beautifully red 65 Bizzarrini - I think overall, 1965 had THE coolest cars!! And don’t argue with me, you won’t win!!! ;)
My sweet Lord, this is the best video I've watched in 2017 or longer - Kudos to you Mr Meyer and to you also Jay - this video nearly brought me to tears - the beauty and the passion. Top Marks!!!!!
THAT's why I watch this channel. Wow, what a car! The Petersen Auto Museum is amazing as well, I visited for the first time this year and went for the guided vault tour. Money well spent!
The thing that gets me is the fact the owners of these incredible vehicles allow them to be driven on public roads.I'm not commenting on Jay's driving ability,rather the swivel headed inattention of so many others.
I worked at a shop in Ga. back in the 70's and we restored an all aluminum one ..It was yellow with blue stripes...It was and is my favorite car ever made..🇺🇸
another italian masterpiece !! WOW ~BIZZARINI A TRUE VISIONARY !! WAY AHEAD OF HIS TIME ! it is not a car it is a work of art !typical italian fashion !
Do you want to know why I love this channel so much? Because when I watch Jay, his guests and their beautiful cars, I feel like I’m learning something. Time very well spent.
These were one of the most beautiful cars ever made. A little film trivia is there is one of these parked in the parking garage at the beginning of the movie “Bullitt.” It was owned if I’m not mistaken by one of Steve McQueen’s stunt friends and made its way into the movie
It's just to bad you didn't hear high revving on full load..... or look here: th-cam.com/video/5W18vMs0Eok/w-d-xo.html ENJOY! Btw, this is how an engine should sound if you lift the accelerator pedal: no pops, splutters or some other STUPID sounds, but a REAL rumble, Perfect!
A cool guy with his car....cruising around in that irreplaceable historical piece.....just awesome that it gets to see road and track time....that shows he's a real car guy....👍👍👍
I've never known much about the Italian racing cars other than Ferrari etc but this car is the most beautiful car from that era I've ever seen. I'm in awe of it.
MichaelKingsfordGray Sorry you can't accept people with different views, and beliefs then your own, and I have said my peace in my other post, and BTW have a nice Christmas season.
A European ebay seller had 3 of these up for sale in the last 4 years for pretty cheap. Two red and one silver. Well Jay, pack it in because with this video, you've reached the pinnacle. There is nowhere to go now, but down. Easily the finest car on the planet. And Giotto Bizzarini; Finest car designer ever.
Great car, But the Speedracer car dated back to the early sixties in comic book form. I don't remember the car, but Jay did have a car that was either influenced by or vice versa a while back. And after all, I am Speedrcer. ;-)
I didn't think you could top the Mk6 Lola that was on earlier this year. This certainly has and not because it is drivable. The sound of those quad pipes and that gaggle of side draft Webber's with those custom velocity stacks....... The up swept under side rear, the bulges over the wheels.. Pure automotive pornography.
Well Mr RamblinAround (and no I get NO COMMISSION), here my suggestion: contact Mr. RÜNGE of RÜNGE CARS (th-cam.com/users/rungecars) with a quite large BLACK AMERICAN EXPRESS CREDIT CARD (the artist does not come cheap at all), show him what you want and be patient and he`ll build that what you want (IT AIN`T GONNA BE CHEAP BUT DEFINITELY EXCLUSIVE).
Check out a guy called Wray Schelin’s ProShaper workshop on TH-cam he has excellent methods of patterning and developing and replicating these shapes of you want to do it yourself. Also I’d argue that the Jag XK 120 was one of the first cars with slab sides but possibly by accident than by aerodynamic design
Beside is the only one.. Ferrari have 38-39 of the 250GTO, Ford did build a few Ford GT40.. but this , this is so way ahead of all mentioned and the most beautiful one ! Nice to have a collection with each one car mentioned side by side but damn even in replica form would be so nice to admire from up close each car build with strong passion for racing and very nice shapes.. ;)
This car is amazing. I believe I saw a Bizzarini at an Italian event in Monterey a few years ago. I did not understand the car at all at that time. Jay was at that event on a golf course. This particular car really is one of those once in a life time cars for the tenth of the people who can afford it or less. So for Bruce to have shared this car with all of us via Jay Leno is completely a treat and totally wonderful. AF
Ive always liked this Bruce Meyer individual, and apart from seeing him in the high boy deuce episode and the Porsche amelia island piece, I was hoping to see him again on the channel and despite my being a Le Mans and 60s racing aficionado, along with always enjoying history and development regarding as such, I was not aware of this vehicle at all! This was a spectacular episode in my view, and I really enjoyed it, and think it was one of the best ones in recent memory. Thanks Jay!
oh I wasn't aware, thanks! I was blown away to see that Bruce owns the 935/K3 Porsche from 1979, and ive been interested in seeing what other cars he has too.
+IdontAlwaysCommentBut WhenIdoYouLikeit Yeah cost's 25¢ to make $45 for the shipping accross the Pacific. We do things so backwards these days it's depressing. Even fine itialian Campagnollo is now made in Tiawan. All for profit to hell with employing local machinists.
Stu Dumpster yes, and it kills the working class. I was a master Mercedes tech and quit because I realized there's no way to make a living anymore from skilled labor. And btw, shimano is an evil empire taking over the cycling world and Campagnolo has followed their business model. I digress.
+IdontAlwaysCommentBut WhenIdoYouLikeit I was told at an early age to avoid working on cars by a mechanic. I honestly just about went to school to become a network Tech then I realized it would be setting up banks buisnesses etc... So now here I sit too woke to work for money. I ride a bike everywhere. Surly Krampus with Shimano cranks, because the fixing bolt on SRAM always fails and my local as its gonna be FSA is garbage. Honestly wondering whats left to do thats good besides building and remodeling houses as thats what I do best. I would love to go back to sleep because I find being too woke is depressing. I tried watching football no joy. Making music is a great outlet but tough when no one is around to jam with. I still watch allot of car shows on YT it reminds me of when I was a young rotorhead. Keep on fighting. I honestly think bitcoin is an invention to destabilize the dollar we may see some great things in the future or our children will be handing their Social security checks to the Chinese as they pretty much own US.
This is simply the very best car Jay's ever had on the show. It's the epitome of Italian design yet makes the best of small, revvy American OHV V8. I am in love. ♥
Rem Olmsted owned a restaurant in Rome in the Trastevere district on the West bank of the Tiber river that runs through Rome. The opera singer, Claude Heater, who had a villa that attached to the villa of the famous Mario Del Monaco, who was to play "The Christ" in "Ben Hur" ate there a few times before either he or Rem were cast for their roles in "Ben Hur". Born June 15, 1913 in Los Angeles, California, USA Died April 7, 2002 in Rome, Lazio, Italy Birth Name Remington Olmsted
I had a 1966 Chevelle with the same 327 and the same Muncie 4 speed. That car sounded exactly like my Chevelle with the high revving short stroke 327 and the Muncie whine. I miss that car.
You have to appreciate the fact that Bruce Meyer takes care of all these important vehicles. Currently at the Peterson museum his cars are all undisplay and they are 100% magnificent. If you're in LA and you are a car guy head there immediately. You won't be disappointed.
Hey Jay in the 1970s I worked with the greatest movie Stunt driver at that time Cary Loften, Cary had 2 or 3 Bizzarrini at that time his favorite car. He had so many tickets over the yrs that as he said he was banned from having a license in the U S so he drove with a Hong Kong lic. Wonder what happened to those cars?.
This is one of the most beautiful cars that I’ve ever seen. Keep coming back to this video.
I love how Bruce is so genuinely happy that Jay appreciates the car
yes. and no matter the cars worth they don't care. there's more joy in their spirit driving the machine
It makes any driver's day when you know someone appreciates your car.
A friend and I were driving our cars abroad and passing through a village and 4kids pointed at his car which has some nice rims an exhaust and well detailed. He was the happiest dude of the group when I told him that the kids liked it.

@@maxnix346 I don't think Bruce Meyer and Bruce F. Meyers are the same person.
We are so lucky to have guys like Jay Leno , and Bruce Meyer share these automotive treasures with us.
You can tell Jay would love that car in his collection.
I would love this car! Its super sexy with that sweet sounding 327
Absolutely gorgeous
You can really tell Jay is jealous of it
I should have read your comment first I said the same thing.
he probably bought it straight after the video
maxxjett films
Yup...Italian-American classic just like Jay.
😁

Hmmmmm.
His low-key digs at Jay seem a little bit weasely to me - "Enzo's wife might say, I want Leno to have one of these...." etc.
Yeah he seems a real nice guy
Bizzarrini is making a comeback they made Bizzarrini 5300 gt revival corsa this year only 24 were made. There is only 1 video of it on TH-cam so far and its on Yutaka Yamagishi channel. Looks absolutely beautiful. Ferrari has competition....

190 mph?!! This is an engineering marvel to behold. To anyone who also appreciates this type of car and the spirit of racing, my hat goes off to you. Drive safe 👍🏼
This isn’t a car...this is art. Stunning piece of automotive art. Just daym.
One of the most beautiful cars ever built!
I’ve loved Thai car since I was a kid also. Saw one in San Antonio back in the 70’s. Fell in love :)

That Chevy V8 sounds amazing in that factory, Italian supercar! Beautiful...
That engine was completely tricked by Italians along with side carburettors and full racing exhaust.. beautiful beast that still loves to run..
Most beautiful sports car ever. My number 1 choice. Saw a Bizzarini parked outside a Costa Mesa shop in 1975, pulled over to check it out and instantly fell in love with this car.
I love watching this show because Jay is a true car guy. He covers everything from exotics to off road and includes a great history lesson. Well done 👏
what a fine piece of automotive creativity passion and soul
Jay actually dressed up for the Bizzarini. That's Amore. And thanks to Mr.Meyer for sharing. What a lovely car guy.
Bruce is one of the best guests I've seen on this great show.
Thank you Bruce for preserving and sharing this beauty! What a priceless car! Won LeMans, rarer than a GTO and looks better too... does this make this the coolest car ever? I think it must be!
This car won its class. The Ferrari GTO won outright honours.... Forza Ferrari
Love youns. Great show and story by a great voice. Both of you.
Coolest car in the world. Absolutely my #1. Saw one in 1975 round Costa Mesa. Stopped me in my tracks. Recognized it from either a Road and Track or Car and Driver issue.

This man is like a living history book. Unblieveble how he can back up every question with a fact. Awsome car and history! keep the classics alive!!
I found myself with tears in my eyes during this video. Such a beauitful car ... and sound.
thanks so much jay. im a maximum chevy guy and to hear that 327 rumbling and screaming in the most beautiful car ive ever seen brought tears to my eyes, honest. thanks again jay

I'm grateful for people like Jay and Bruce who care for these cars and offer a chance for us to see them in all their glory. Cheers!
This is probably one of my favorite episodes. I love how the owner knows so much and Jay really seems to be in aw of the vehicle.
The owner is such a sweet guy and you can just tell he has a heart of gold.. The passion and love he has for cars and this car especially..!
A class act, right at the end he thanks the firefighters, good on you Jay.
That's what a true conservative looks like. Despite what the liberal, cabal media says.
Agreed! He didn't complain that the roads were closed, he acknowledged the people who were risking their lives while he was having fun in the car. Great man!
Good one
Ha - got to that part of vid exactly as I read this. Nice!
bigblocklawyer lol jay isn’t conservative
Thank goodness for people like Bruce Meyrer.
My favorite video from Jay. The car is flawless and both Jay and Bruce's enthusiasm for the car is a true tribute to this timeless design.
Go Speed Racer Go!! One thing I loved about that show was the style of all the cars. This embodies those looks.
Thank you to Bruce Meyer, a true gentleman and a car enthusiast that seems to be a humble guy. Perfect match he and Jay. Thanks guys for giving us car guys a thrill every week. Happy Holidays to all. Prayers to the fireman and their families.
One of the most arrogant people in the car world. Doesn't come across this way because its Leno.
Some Guy ok....well, looks can be deceiving....and Leno is that guy.

Would have loved to see the dash and all the inner workings of it.
What a fascinating car and history lesson. This is one of my favorite JLG videos.
At 2:11 you get a peek at the dash. th-cam.com/video/t-vuGclpBgw/w-d-xo.html
Maybe on the Peterson museum link
ALSO AN EXPLANATION OF THE AIR INTAKES ETC.
I’m absolutely head over heels in LOVE with the styling/design of this ‘beautifully red 65 Bizzarrini - I think overall, 1965 had THE coolest cars!! And don’t argue with me, you won’t win!!! ;)
My sweet Lord, this is the best video I've watched in 2017 or longer - Kudos to you Mr Meyer and to you also Jay - this video nearly brought me to tears - the beauty and the passion. Top Marks!!!!!
Jay, I think this is the best Jay Leno's Garage yet! Lost my breath when they showed the rear end for the first time. Again when it starts!
Best looking rear end ever!!!!
THAT's why I watch this channel. Wow, what a car! The Petersen Auto Museum is amazing as well, I visited for the first time this year and went for the guided vault tour. Money well spent!
The thing that gets me is the fact the owners of these incredible vehicles allow them to be driven on public roads.I'm not commenting on Jay's driving ability,rather the swivel headed inattention of so many others.
Jay should do a travel show where he visits/interviews great old designers and engineers etc with the cars they were involved with
Great car, but the real issue in this video is the missing denim shirt.
i think he outgrew it... the other video he had it on but it was open... didnt look like he could close it in a decent way
Trust a woman to spot the fashion element. :-p
we want the open shirt look back !!!!! Jk
Black is very slimming!
he has a brand now Jay Lenos Garage that sells detailing gear. the polo shirt is a branded JLG shirt
I worked at a shop in Ga. back in the 70's and we restored an all aluminum one ..It was yellow with blue stripes...It was and is my favorite car ever made..🇺🇸
Gorgeous shape and what a beautiful motor. The Webers really make it.
another italian masterpiece !! WOW ~BIZZARINI A TRUE VISIONARY !! WAY AHEAD OF HIS TIME ! it is not a car it is a work of art !typical italian fashion !
I don't know what I'm more impressed with. The Bizzarrini, or Jay Leno changing his shirt.
JAY CHANGED HIS SHIRT???
This put a big smile on my face. The passion is well expressed by Bruce, and I love that he takes it to the track!
Three champions! Bizzarini Meyers and Leno!
Great show! Thanks Jay!
Do you want to know why I love this channel so much? Because when I watch Jay, his guests and their beautiful cars, I feel like I’m learning something. Time very well spent.

It's just to bad you didn't hear high revving on full load.....
or look here: th-cam.com/video/5W18vMs0Eok/w-d-xo.html ENJOY!
Btw, this is how an engine should sound if you lift the accelerator pedal: no pops, splutters or some other STUPID sounds, but a REAL rumble, Perfect!
A cool guy with his car....cruising around in that irreplaceable historical piece.....just awesome that it gets to see road and track time....that shows he's a real car guy....👍👍👍
He changed his shirt! First time in 10 years.
It was a special occasion for jay that’s for sure lol
I've never known much about the Italian racing cars other than Ferrari etc but this car is the most beautiful car from that era I've ever seen. I'm in awe of it.
Another amazing car I didn't even know existed 30 minutes ago! Thanks, Jay.
Me too. 😳
the best episode of this series by far! Bruce is a heavy hitter, seems like a really nice guy too.
Awesome video, and yes do keep those firefighters in your thoughts, and prayers, as they are some of the true heroes of our great country.

No the Ford GT40 is IMO.
mit Schnorcheln für alle vier Bremsen!
@MichaelKingsfordGray 🤣🤣🤣
The luckiest car spot of my life at road America, WI in the mid 2000’s. Can’t wait to own/build one.
The car that inspired speed racer. I saw this at the san diego auto museum.
GTR Wendy so bizzarini left a great legacy.
GTR Wendy well? Kinda was the mach 5 slabside like that body
I did not know that. The car is definitely from that era.
I do believe you are correct, sir! Very astute of you!
Great car, But the Speedracer car dated back to the early sixties in comic book form. I don't remember the car, but Jay did have a car that was either influenced by or vice versa a while back. And after all, I am Speedrcer. ;-)
Bruce is such a great communicator, he shares the historical stories so well! What an amazing car!
I didn't think you could top the Mk6 Lola that was on earlier this year. This certainly has and not because it is drivable. The sound of those quad pipes and that gaggle of side draft Webber's with those custom velocity stacks....... The up swept under side rear, the bulges over the wheels.. Pure automotive pornography.
Wow the way the engine reflects the light.. magnifico
Now that is a truly amazing automobile. I would love to build an exact copy in aluminum.
Well Mr RamblinAround (and no I get NO COMMISSION), here my suggestion: contact Mr. RÜNGE of RÜNGE CARS (th-cam.com/users/rungecars) with a quite large BLACK AMERICAN EXPRESS CREDIT CARD (the artist does not come cheap at all), show him what you want and be patient and he`ll build that what you want (IT AIN`T GONNA BE CHEAP BUT DEFINITELY EXCLUSIVE).
Check out a guy called Wray Schelin’s ProShaper workshop on TH-cam he has excellent methods of patterning and developing and replicating these shapes of you want to do it yourself. Also I’d argue that the Jag XK 120 was one of the first cars with slab sides but possibly by accident than by aerodynamic design
@@shanedoyle1057 thanks for sharing. I didnt knew him before and his channel looks absolutely amazing
@@288gto7 It sure is. He really explains the techniques behind everything. He has an excellent playlist where he reproduces an Etype bonnet 👍
Somebody give @RamblinAround the money right now! Yeah yeah, im writing that cheque too.
That cross intake and carbs look really badass and something cool and different on that Chevy small block.
Gorgeous! From the golden era of race cars...
wewd tool
You know it bro.
yeah, its pretty for sure
Beside is the only one.. Ferrari have 38-39 of the 250GTO, Ford did build a few Ford GT40.. but this , this is so way ahead of all mentioned and the most beautiful one ! Nice to have a collection with each one car mentioned side by side but damn even in replica form would be so nice to admire from up close each car build with strong passion for racing and very nice shapes.. ;)
wewd love your pic!😂
This car is amazing. I believe I saw a Bizzarini at an Italian event in Monterey a few years ago. I did not understand the car at all at that time. Jay was at that event on a golf course. This particular car really is one of those once in a life time cars for the tenth of the people who can afford it or less. So for Bruce to have shared this car with all of us via Jay Leno is completely a treat and totally wonderful. AF
Jay are you feeling OK? Even if you spilled some oil on your denim, you must have a spare at the shop..
The lines and proportions of this car are absolutely gorgeous.
Ive always liked this Bruce Meyer individual, and apart from seeing him in the high boy deuce episode and the Porsche amelia island piece, I was hoping to see him again on the channel and despite my being a Le Mans and 60s racing aficionado, along with always enjoying history and development regarding as such, I was not aware of this vehicle at all! This was a spectacular episode in my view, and I really enjoyed it, and think it was one of the best ones in recent memory. Thanks Jay!
Bruce and this car were recently featured on Petrolicious on the track.
oh I wasn't aware, thanks! I was blown away to see that Bruce owns the 935/K3 Porsche from 1979, and ive been interested in seeing what other cars he has too.
Went to a Italian car festival in Baltimore in 2007 and the was a Bizzarrini "rivet car". Completely fell in love with the Bizzarrini.
The car, the story etc. is completely insane, however I believe we can all agree that the polo shirt was the biggest suprise..
Don’t know what’s sexier , the body or the engine! That car is amazing! And kudos to the owner for actually driving it still.
Well I'm glad Jay managed to get enough money to buy a new shirt
Bharath Naveen shirts are expensive these days don't ya know?
+IdontAlwaysCommentBut WhenIdoYouLikeit Yeah cost's 25¢ to make $45 for the shipping accross the Pacific. We do things so backwards these days it's depressing. Even fine itialian Campagnollo is now made in Tiawan. All for profit to hell with employing local machinists.
Stu Dumpster yes, and it kills the working class. I was a master Mercedes tech and quit because I realized there's no way to make a living anymore from skilled labor. And btw, shimano is an evil empire taking over the cycling world and Campagnolo has followed their business model. I digress.
+IdontAlwaysCommentBut WhenIdoYouLikeit I was told at an early age to avoid working on cars by a mechanic. I honestly just about went to school to become a network Tech then I realized it would be setting up banks buisnesses etc... So now here I sit too woke to work for money. I ride a bike everywhere. Surly Krampus with Shimano cranks, because the fixing bolt on SRAM always fails and my local as its gonna be FSA is garbage. Honestly wondering whats left to do thats good besides building and remodeling houses as thats what I do best. I would love to go back to sleep because I find being too woke is depressing. I tried watching football no joy. Making music is a great outlet but tough when no one is around to jam with. I still watch allot of car shows on YT it reminds me of when I was a young rotorhead. Keep on fighting. I honestly think bitcoin is an invention to destabilize the dollar we may see some great things in the future or our children will be handing their Social security checks to the Chinese as they pretty much own US.
This is simply the very best car Jay's ever had on the show. It's the epitome of Italian design yet makes the best of small, revvy American OHV V8. I am in love. ♥
Damn. That's paradise on wheels! 💋
and the noise from it, the gear change at 18:42 - that growl :)
Wow...breath takingly beautiful..right up there with the Alfa Stradale and the GTO.
Has there ever been a video of Jay driving where he didn't drift out of his lane?
i think that's because of the camera sticking out of the passenger side. Jay doesn't want to hit anything with it.
its obvious you're the far better driver
Lol. Driving a priceless automobile and just swerving everywhere.
@@ConservativeGangstR as Jay always says, "American muscle cars were basically built to go in a straight line, thats what theyre good for".
@@bobgemale1312 I wouldn't exactly call his style of driving "straight ". Lol
I saw a few of these race at Spa Classic, the noise these things made was gorgeous. Highlight of the weekend.

well said!
I had a 1966 Chevelle with the same 327 and the same Muncie 4 speed. That car sounded exactly like my Chevelle with the high revving short stroke 327 and the Muncie whine. I miss that car.
288 GTO! Please Jay, if there is a way, make it happen people!
Love it, 30 years in a museum and now racing and driving on the streets. Thank you.
OH MY GOSHAH THE BIZZERRINI I DROOLED SINCE BRUCE SHOWED IT TO ADAM CAROLLA I'M ALL CAPS I DON'T CARE
I knoW!!!!! ITS SO DAMN AWESOME!!! :)
FANTASTICO wonderful story.. What a car incredibly beautiful, a soundtrack to stir the blood, Thank you!!
Whoooa no cowboy denim today jay😦😦😦
Every Taylor Special car calls for a special shirt!
Ya, but Ill bet he's wearing the same pair of underwear as 20 years ago.
Respect when respect is demanded. Bruce Meyer.
Who is your drawers monitor?
Coolyards the underpants nome from South Park keeps me up do data on these matters .🤣
You have to appreciate the fact that Bruce Meyer takes care of all these important vehicles. Currently at the Peterson museum his cars are all undisplay and they are 100% magnificent. If you're in LA and you are a car guy head there immediately. You won't be disappointed.
That "the air was much cleaner back then" joke never get old
It isn't a joke. Its true.
@@bluespig1 Not in Los Angeles.
Eric Hensel LA is a hellhole now.
Nothing more interesting to me than 2 car guys talking cars. Especially when they know what they're talking about. Love the history too. Awesome car.
Hey Jay in the 1970s I worked with the greatest movie Stunt driver at that time Cary Loften, Cary had 2 or 3 Bizzarrini at that time his favorite car. He had so many tickets over the yrs that as he said he was banned from having a license in the U S so he drove with a Hong Kong lic. Wonder what happened to those cars?.
Cary should have moved to Montana
I was already digging it, but when he said it's got a Chevy small block, I fell in love.
2:30 I'm italian, we're exactly like that ;) 😂😂
3:45 !
I love the de-acceleration snorts & pops, brings back memories of my 1000.00 dollar Datsun 1800cc / 160 hp engine I had in 1976 ...
