This is my cousin Paul who I still miss so very much. Thank you for taking such good care of his car.
He did a great job that car is amazing it's one bad looking machine
Lucille Horkan he was very talented. Sorry for your loss
God bless Lucille and so sorry for you and your family’s loss....he was clearly quite a guy
I wish I had an eighth of his knowledge. It would have been an honor to meet him. It's not often someone can make an impact on someone they've never met but by watching this video I'm truly inspired by what he's done not only as a builder but as a human being using the money for scholarships. May we all try to be that kind of person. If nothing else just passing on what knowledge we have. I hope one day I can meet him. But for now I'd love any info on him and other things hes done no matter if I have to pay or not.
PS. By watching this video I've become more motivated than ever to build something. Nothing identical to what he's done of course but a Mopar truck
Paul picked a good person to share his hard work, passion and love with. Thank you Jay for sharing this treasure of a car with us and sharing Paul's story. You can tell Paul put a lot of himself into that car and as long as that cars around in the hands of somebody that will share Paul's story a little piece of him will live on forever. Many wealthy collectors would have taken the car for free without batting an eye. The fact that you worked out a deal to donate money in his Paul's name when you could have just got it free speaks volumes of the type of person you are Jay. It also allows Paul to live on through those students that recieved the scholarship that will be forever thankful to both of you, and the fact the students were able to speak with Paul before he passed must have ment the world to him. Paul I know you are looking down at every one of us who has had the luxury of enjoying seeing this fine piece of master craftsmanship and you are still helping to inspire people to chase their dreams no matter what they are. Thank you Paul and your family as well as Jay for sharing this beautiful automobile with us all. As for the youth watching this video and reading the comments this beautiful Plymouth shows you that with hard work and faith anything is possible and not everything in your life needs to be centered around money.
8:30. I have to say. This is how the TV News should be. Imagine if television actually educated people about engines, and vehicle designs, and engineering, as part of their standard daily News coverage? I feel so much smarter having watched this. Outstanding!
I always say I’m going to skip past all the talk and backstory, but I never do. Absolutely fascinating!
My favorite thing about the show?
The fact that Jay Leno now has the time to concentrate on it more.
This is Jay's best show.
Not the Tonight Show, this show.
I wish it was on every night.
I agree. Automobiles are clearly Jay's true passion in life. Not interviewing Hollywood stars.
I always enjoyed Leno's interviews...don't forget they financed his incredible collection...to some degree that is...
Couldn't agree more. Leno is hilarious and was a great host and a natural comedian, but the passion really shines through here.
You got to admit though on the Jay Leno show headlines were pretty funny I guess anything he does is going to be good it's just an overall around good host for everything
@@williamgoring7605 very true. his show influenced popular culture in an unchangeable way. Myself I am too young to have really experienced him on the tonight show in its glory though, and man do I love cars!
What a GREAT story about this guy and his car...
As a long-time ISCA member, pro street owner and lover and collector of vintage car mags (and cars), I remember this Duster clearly. I used to stare at the full-page engine shot from HRM. 1980 was when I first dreamed of being an ISCA champion "someday". Well, "someday" happened in the 1983/84 season at the age of 20. Mission accomplished.
As a side note, I have a pro street 1971 Duster, '69 Nova, '74 Vega and '70 Cuda. Other toys too, but those are the pro street cars.
This story brought tears to my eyes. What an outstanding Man
Paul is. The world needs more people like him and tip of the hat
To Jay for sharring his story with us. Much respect !!!!
The first minute of this show I already know that this is one of the best things I've ever seen. He was so happy, and the music... Awesome
What impresses me the most about Jay, is he knows how to open the hood on ever car he owns.
I worked with Nunzee when we both were at General Motors and I'm probably the last person he took for a ride in this car back all those years ago. I remember it had around 650 miles. When it was time for any car show he would take months getting it ready. Paul was also afraid to put the gas petal to the floor. May You Rest In Peace Paul ...Eric Doucette
Such dedication from that man Paul.... even stricken with cancer he still helped push the car onto the intercity truck, almost as if a final farewell to his beautiful creation. Absolutely inspiring and so emotionally touching. not something you usually say on a car video but I'm glad I saw it
"The Cah!" With wheelie bahs! I love it.
Aside from loving the car, this is the first Jay Leno's Garage that makes you sort of tear up. Thumb up to you Jay.
Jay I don't think enough people know how much you do for good causes, charity, etc.. we appreciate you as a guy who embodies what it means to be a great American.
Love Jay Leno's Garage!. It's a great show. Thank you Jay for enriching the lives of many!
Jay wouldn’t take his car for free that says a lot about him . He’s a good man and his heart is in the right place.. what a cool guy
RIP Paul Annunziata. Such a beautiful testament to his skill and ingenuity. God bless and fly with the angels. Your memory will live on in the caring hands of the craftsman and caretakers at Jay Leno's Garage.
Respect for the man, RIP Paul. Very tastefully done Jay
This is my favorite car on the show so far. Such a great story behind it and the look of the car is so aggressive and powerful. Paul's vision and passion will live on. Thanks for this video Jay. MOPAR baby!!!!
"Police tend to frown upon wheel stands on the street". Good one, Jay. Great build, Paul. That's one hell of a "Dustah"
Cahh
"Dustah"...lol
The paint job is so well done that you can perfectly see the reflection from the car recording it: 13:27
how do people find dusters ugly? thats what i want to know.....this 75 is gorgeous
its nice but Europeans are used to lambos ferraris and porsches.
daz samuels Yeah but 99 percent of people can't afford a ferrari, almost anyone can find a Duster. Will it handle like a Lambo? Of course not. But they're cool and good for a cheap thrill.
***** Spoiled Europeans... can't handle real cars.
***** All the 70's dusters are beautiful. I have no idea how anyone could find them ugly. I have heard that too, and I cannot see it...
***** The back end is the only questionable design aspect
Your tribute to this man was moving- the car is a piece of automotive history and artistry. Donating the sale to an educational scholarship was pure class!
Out of all the old race cars, supercars, insanely rare cars and museum cars, this old Duster is by far my favorite car you have ever featured.
What a great installment to this series with the tribute to Paul Annunziata and his completely bad ass '75 Duster. Jay does a such a great job with his Garage series here on TH-cam. I admire the respect he shows for all of his guests, the low key presentation, doesn't get too bogged down in miscellany, and the passion he has for just about everything on wheels. There's an honesty about this program that's missing in a lot of TV shows. It's really too bad that the networks don't air Jay Leno's Garage during prime time.
Sad, but, what a great story. Without being just-about-the-car, this is easily my fave episode of Jay Lenos Garage.
I want to comment that this is a lovely piece of journalism. If our other journalists would put as much care into their stories as this, the world would be better off.
and more twinkies. cuz they're delicious
+Michael Weston you can never have enough twinkies
Name it ..The Zinger !!
I'd happily risk the lose of a limb for the chance to just drive this car! Jay is the luckiest man on earth to own and drive the cars he gets to. Sadly ill most likely never get the chance to own or drive any or my dream car's
@Bob Taint A substantial part of this episode included a piece from a local TV station in Mr. Annunziata's area. I'd say the comment referencing journalism was legitimate. Russ
nothing beats his story and his New England accent... Godspeed buddy
You can tell Paul was a really nice guy I’m glad his car went to another really nice guy who appreciates it and will keep the history of it alive. It couldn’t be in better hands than with jay
Today was my first time to see this piece. Jay is amazing, he is so respectful of the car as he carefully opens and closes the door, the hood, the trunk. I can feel the love and respect Jay has for Paul by how respectful he is with Paul’s car. Pretty cool.
Without a dought, The finest Duster i've ever seen. You're a lucky man Jay. treasure it.
Jay I'm sure you can feel the life force of Paul when your near the car. We transfer our energy or life force into our work when it comes from the heart when we love what we create.
That is a lovely car, As far as I can tell it is completely flawless. RIP Paul.
54 ,
AMEN
I had to hold back the tears on this one. This just makes me want to work on my car even more.
same, except im 12 and dont have a car to work on :(
DriveIt*PlayIt where's you'r models and such? don't you know you can practice with those??
well, right now i have something, on our way to a car show someone cut us off and my dads 1970 dodge dart swinger 340 went into the concrete barrier,so we are working on that, and i do have some models to work on guess.
Jay I'm sure you feel honored that a man put his life into your hands. Life is preciouse.
Wow, I loved this story and actually watching the local report speak to him. His passion for the car and vision is rare. I love that Jay Leno did such a kind jester to another car guy. This is what I hope my two boys to grow up, love what you do, respect others to this level and trust they will do the right thing. Cars bring us together but the fact is we build our love for automobiles upon respect. Just my two cents. Thank you for your very very many videos!
Anthony Blubello 2 generation car guy raising the 3rd.
How can anyone dislike this video?
I was watching with teary eyes.
This beautiful car is in good hands. I'm sure Paul is in good hands too...
Much respect for Jay Leno and what he does for our car hobby!
You sure know how to make a grown man cry. Rip Paul. Thank you Jay for sharing this great story. JohnG
It's really nice to see an older car like that on there I had a 68 Camaro that was stolen from me when I was like 22 years old I got it for a present for my mom and with the job I have I can't afford another car I'm not a rich man but it just warms my heart to see those old hot rods on the street again like that that's cool
I love how Leno says he's from Massachusetts and he's proud of it. I also live in Massachusetts.
Over the years Ive watched this 3 times. Thanks to all the people at Jay Leno's Garage.
Beautiful ol school muscle car and the history behind it, couldn't have gone to a better home, RIP Paul
What a truly touching story - Paul's generosity starts it, and instead of simply accepting the car, Jay pays - but he doesn't just write the cheque, he finds a wonderful way to donate the money to teach young mechanics who are then able to thank Paul before he dies. Well done Jay Leno. PS - glad to see you're looking after my old race Bentley so well!
Just wanted to say thanks. You make one of the only car shows that covers most of the beauty in the auto world. Most shows focus on one type of the automotive world, American muscle, Japanese sport cars, mud trucks, turbo, supercharged, N/A, 2dr, 4dr, supercars, rotary engine, 2wd,4wd, all wheel, or movie cars. Your show brings it all and I love that!!!!! No bias. I'm an auto lover. Doesn't matter what it is as long as it has soul. You know what I mean. Have had a few project cars over the years, but never got a chance to finish one. Always building someone else's cars or taking care of my family which means the cars/truck always got put on the back burner. And when your child has special needs sometimes you have to sell your dream for them to have a better future. But, your show brings those dreams back to life. Like I said, you show everything. That's why I love it. Someday maybe you'll be showing something that I built. Keep this show going strong. And again, thank you.
I was lucky enough to have met Mr. Annunziata when learning how to diagnose with the very SUN diagnostic system behind him in a picture on this video. A very brilliant technician indeed. His body may have ended, but his soul lives on with this car. Thank you to Jay Leno for the promise of being this vehicles caretaker. True car guys know what you have done for Paul.
I shed a tear on this one. I'ts a true testament to what a man's life work can be. Love the sound of that super charger it reminded me of the beginning to mad max.
Never been Leno's biggest fan... But this is an awesome story, about an awesome car, and an awesome car builder.
Paul .....i never liked the Tonight show not because of Jay but because i hate Hollywood and everything they stand for. But this show has really taught me so much about things i never thought i'd ever be interested in , and i never thought i'd be able to respect a mega rich Hollywood star but Jays proved me dead wrong.
You're a true sportsman, Jay. No one else like you.
Wow that's a story of true passion, Rest in peace Paul and thank you Jay.
Incredible paint ! Strangely quiet but 1000 HP !
A LITTLE OFF TOPIC; America needs Jay Back on Late Night TV.
Jay is a Righteous dude.
Late night TV is dead, we need Jay right where he is.
Lol fake bs this is more real than any late night scripted crap
@@jacobbarrett7307 President of Lemming Land
Even though you’re trying to hide it, I can still see it, you’re moved talking about this and who wouldn’t be. Thank you for sharing this, thank you for sharing all of it.
So smooth and quiet. This is the benchmark. Great story.
Great car, and a good story behind it too. I really like how Jay bought it and donated the money.
+Disco Stu Well Jay didn't simultaneously purchaser the car and donated money. In accepting the gift he donated the money to the school to create scholarship in Ed's memory. Yea props to Jay for that.
ah, he didnt buy it, he got the car given to him and then made a donation, whats so confusing to you about that? lol
This has got to be one of the coolest cars on earth, it has it all. If I had the means to, I'd probably try to make a homage replica.
What I want to know more than anything after watching this is how could anyone possibly dislike this. What about the video did they not like?
What about the video did they not like? The average of IQ is about 100 or 105 or so , that means , if there are some with an IQ above 150 , maybe 0.1% , there are some with an IQ below ... They have to live with it and deserve our compassion .
the average IQ of a mechanical engineer is 124...so...way off
it's 127, everyone knows that.
I was just thinking the same thing, don't put anything then ,any car that has been restored especially by the gentleman Paul ,RIP, did so much Jay Leno as well, 👍👍👍👍👍👎👎👎to the dislike idiots that don't appreciate American muscle cars
Thinking that it might be that Jay replaced the front tyres, radiator and some other mods so that the Duster isn't exactly as it was built by Mr Annunziata. The creation of the scholarship however was an inspiration.
"Paul put the other miles on, a quarter-mile at a time". And Jay gets to put the rest of the miles on it. That's awesome. The car is in a good home.
Regardless if you are a Dodge fan or not, this was a quality for its time. Not to mention a tremendous humanitarian event that Jay did with Paul. To have him say "Ill give it to you" and have them turn it into a scholarship that aids others into the same craft that helped build this car, it is a wonderful story. I commend Jay on that.
The sound from that engine is amazing!!!
perfect engine note
Yeah, blown Hemis are like that
Ok Trump . . . Amazing.
David Lodermeier ok trump
That is a VERY SPECIAL car. PLEASE keep good care of it.
FYI as to this piece....5 yrs. later, Pauls car, his story, still matter. Any of Jays recent restoration video up-dates, shows The HEMI Duster sitting right in the background. Paul wanted it to go to a good home; that's surely the web, where we can enjoy his dream-come-true forever. Thank You Jay Leno. God Bless YOU, my friend.
Wow such a great story! Glad Paul's car lives on! I enjoyed learning about the history of the car!
A very nice way to keep a man's legacy, pride and joy intact and beautiful for years to come. I enjoyed watching this tribute. :)
I think it is really awesome of Jay to do something like this. He seems like a really good guy.
Cody Petrowsky the world would be a much better place if more celebrities and people of means followed his examples.
That is what you get when someone loves what they do. That is the best Duster I have ever seen. Absolutely perfect.
Honestly Jay you are damn good doing a car show! The great humor puts the show on another level.
Hats off Jay, what a great story. Rarely do you see a guy who is as classy off screen as on, thanks for sharing you turned my day around.👍👍
Jay, is an amazing man. Thank you Jay, for all that you do for cars AND people. There's never been anyone else like you!
Nice sounding car
Another example of Jay's character. Most guys would have taken this car for free and hidden it away. Thanks for helping create the scholarship Jay. I went to a technical school too and can appreciate the skills they help develop. I remember building my first 355 Chevy. One of the most memorable and satisfying things I've ever done. Thanks for all of the great stories Jay!
What a nice thing to do Mr. Leno. Nice to know car fans can have hearts so big!
car sounds great, I love that Jay drives it and doesn't treat it like some priceless museum piece
A true reminder of the 70's, Dusters and Demons and Darts...Oh My.
HOSSMCGILLICUTTI They ruined the demon. all you can hear of the modern demon is supercharger. No engine, just whiiiiiiiiiiine.
I grew up in the wrong time. My first car was a k car
@@torballs Hah, got a 70' Valiant Duster, says so on the fender badges. 340' 4 on the floor in green. My pops left it to me when he passed.
And Scamps
Well that went a lot better than the Hemi Under Glass episode.
A great tribute to an icon of the drag racing world. I wish i would have met Mr Annunziata who lived in Framingham. When I was in the Marines back in 1974 and would come up from North Carolina, I used to visit my ex-wife who lived in neighboring Marlboro,MA , I would pass by his place. You can pick up a lot from people like him. Mr Leno, thanx for honoring great influential people.
I had no idea how many people commented on this story. Thank you Jay and cousin Paul. He is never forgotten!
I have shivers and goosebumps, beautiful piece jay...... Much love❤️✌️
Great story and I love the car Plymouth Duster is definitely my favorite car that was ever made. I wish it came with a Hemi from factory that would be awesome.
I can tell Jay likes it by his smile when he jumps down on it... Great Car with a great collector
Jay, you sir, are a class act, your father would be proud.
Wonderful Tribute to the builder Jay
Spirit of Hot Rods & their Inventor's
This had to be one of the earliest Pro-Street Style Built cars as Paul began after he purchased it new in '75
Timeless Classic and a Great dedication to Paul
Thank you Jay, for the story, as it certainly grabbed the spirits of most any person who's seen this video.
Must of had something in my eye... wont stop tearing up.
Jay, You are now the custodian, and preserver of many cars. Dont ever let them go, and when you do yourself, make sure these cars have a trust to make sure these vehicles live on.
An old episode i missed-thanks Mr Leno again for your dedication to the automotive world, saving it one car at a time. I had a 76 Duster, brings back a lot of high school memories-would have loved to have Paul as my automotive teacher! RIP
This is the second or third time I watched this. Love this story! I presently own a 73 Plymouth Duster pro-street 360, just sold a 72 pro-street 440. Anyway, thanks Jay!
Tire chirp into second gear at :04 = evidence of a shift kit! LOVE it!!!
Very cool and touching story. I've never been much of a mopar man myself, but the car is really cool and the craftsmanship is amazing! Just awesome!
I think it's so cool that Jay not only has a real appreciation for the cars themselves, but also for the stories and people that surround them. I've watched tons of Jay's episodes, and you can tell he really appreciates a good backstory.
Also, really cool that Paul and Jay turned the transaction into a donation that would benefit future gearheads. All around, just a really good story.
Bravo Mr. Leno...Bravo.Such a class act.RIP Paul. You live on.
That thing is insanely quiet for 1000hp.
@Peter O'Brien they have been the same and haven't changed 95db is mighty loud and even turbo straight piped 3in exhaust cars don't go above 85db at cruising speed. only difference is that instead of a fix it ticket for surpassing 95db its a $1,000 fine
Spins the tires effortlessly and without any noise haha
Power only has to be felt not heard!
@@scrappyhustler7467 yes....but not like tesla !!!! .....somethimes the V8 sound its something special
It needs electric dumps.
LENOS GOT THE LIFE
My mother had this exact car in 1975. Except in hot-mustard gold paint and stock engine! Brings back memories !!!!
Jay truly is a car guys car guy. For the love of the machine. 🇺🇸👍
Jay is the most down to earth man who really cares about people.
this was a great memorial to the car and owner
Man.... during the reporter portion of the video, hearing annunziata talk about the vehicle almost made me cry.
Seemed like a guy I'd love to get to know.
This brought a tear to my eye.
DJ PER me too Paul even pushed his car onto the truck with the truckers, cancer can't take everything he still had it
Brought tears to my eyes
I had a Duster hatchback when I was in the military and I loved that car. It didn't have a Hemi, but that slant six proved itself many times on the 1/8th mile drag strip. The guy I bought it from had installed a four barrel intake/carb and I believe it had a 4.125" stroke w/ 3.5" bore and was a torque monster up to 5500 RPM, where it would drop off fairly drastically. Great car for gettin' around and the hatchback always got lots of attention/comments when loading groceries, w/ some asking what inspired me and how long did it take to complete. The looks on their faces when they learn it was a factory automobile were priceless.
I love this dudes accent! What a talented man, I hope he managed to pass on some of this gold to the next generation. Peace.
