1965 Bizzarrini - Jay Leno's Garage

idiot you didn't miss many things You didn't, no, but I always thought it was the most beautiful car and it's that era of American horsepower with Italian style that for me was deadly because I loved American things and I was always surprised that the engines Europeans, even the 12-cylinder ones, were two. and a half liter, three liters, yeah, it had this big American v8, all kinds of torque and with the Italian carburetion, yeah, it's a sexy looking engine, it looks really cool, it's really fantastic, well, and when we drive it, the sound of this rival is Ferrari, yes, let's show you the back of the car while we're okay, we're here before we take a look, we'll tell you.

Miss Abit Cerini was here in my

garage

, it was really exciting, she came in the 90s, I had a project I was trying to raise money for, it was too much, but hey, he was a cool, stylish old man, yeah, and he must be in now he's 90 years old, yeah, yeah, and the back of this car She's so sick, you know, this is my favorite time. I think in the '60s, in the Americans, you had the GTO, you had the Mustang Camaro, you know the Pontiac C and then the Italians had you. If you had this, you had the Ferraris, they had the Olympic knee.

I mean, this is when cars were designed to look sexy and too. I couldn't agree more with this car that I loved and the four pipes, yes, yes, you have the Italian one. plate to remember no, yes or no and still running this, Emily's original ID, is there a number why was it any reason why three? You know, usually the larger displacement cars start in the front, so I guess, oh, one of the reasons I know Corvettes, you know when we have that Corvette Lamont number one, two and three, so they were in the front and we can open the trunk and sheriff, yeah, you're a good size, yeah, look at that, yeah, honey, that's a practical car. that's funny, I mean, when we go on trips and stuff and when we can be together and that will give us more time together, we can go in the car, we use this thing and it's really fantastic and this is to get pressure from Linda.

I think this is like the trunk and under the body as an air release. I know them for the internal brain breaks, right, yes, yes, and obviously the quick fuel. I love that up here, yeah, this plastic, plastic, that's cool, yeah, I like San or something. Wow, good. come on uh let's turn it on okay I'm with you Chevy box right yeah like a clutch that ain't easy I love it I love it I feel like I'm actually under Street you know Brett has some pictures of s on the runway, the buyers are coming. here in California we have shut down the health service, we can't go to the hills today to show you what this can really do, but here are some pictures of it on the track, take a look, it was run at 190 with a box of 4 speeds, yes, then. we chose whether to match him when I first arrived and he was still here he wants to run, yes she really did.

The guys have the bassist, yeah it's amazing man you can say you couldn't drive a race car on the road today you just wouldn't be able to understand the legal implications of this where is this thing? It's just for Tara, yeah, fifty-sixty, this is really one of those bucket list cars. I'm serious I'm very happy and it's actually weirder than the GG oh yeah from there they only built one and when they built 35 GPL yeah 39 maybe you once had a lab in the mall. I've never done it many times, but no, I've done it without my mom, you guys aren't cars, not this. there's some room, I love the fact that in the Chevy v8 because you can, yeah, you can run the car forever without fear of unobtainium parts, you know, that's right now, this feels like a supercar, let it go , look how low I am, I'm backing it up. the Explorer axle with a floor is funny, Sherine, it really had the down arrow, oh yeah, and the whole car was built with slide rules, wasn't it?

There is no computer, which is not bad at all, no, what is its role in incoming and outgoing traffic? a little bit, yeah, you know, the sight lines are good, yeah, I forgot, yeah, you know, I thought you'd be cramped in this car when I saw it, but the roof is actually reasonably high, yeah, and I wore a helmet on the card yeah and your knee could I've driven this is this is in the top three the McLaren f1 Steve McQueen's xkss really oh yeah I'm super Flynn oh no it's wonderful I'm so glad because it's just the essence of what it is a racing car and a road car.

I mean, anyone drove it to LaVon, I mean, jumper, come on, yeah man, that was the race, that's fantastic, yeah, it really is and what's the shape, you know, it must be pretty light. I think it's probably around 2200 2200 oh yeah, nice, it's nice. It is light and it is the only one of its kind, the only one with a LaVon, yes it is the most original of all the Punjab, yes of course, do you know racing cars? They made some Stratos, some people turned them into race cars, but it was born as a race car and had a great life and spent 30 years in a museum.

Yes, I'm going to read the book again while driving. It sounds and feels more powerful than the Corvette. What else has been done so far? How many? The horse wasn't and the game could have 400, yeah, but you just rev it up and I think it just cries for more, you know, you gotta run the turn signals so low, mom, I don't know that answer, I don't. HE. I don't necessarily think you would do it in a prototype plan, yes, yes, but if you were to drive it to Lamont, it would be nice to have it intensive.

Yeah, I think this is really a combination of GM automotive gems and, surimi, what the Corvette would have been in this era and the Faster you go, more attractive. I love that you take it around the track. I'm sure you've already guessed it. Bruce has some of the most beautiful cars in the world, but this is my absolute favorite. It's really among the history of this and you know what he did with the Chevy engine and I mean, I mean, it's really something and it really won its class in Lamar, you know, it didn't even rebuild the original serial number that they added everything, it's the car as it existed in the form it existed at the time and that's what makes it exciting to pick up that book at Peterson the slightly serene ebook what is the official name of the book is dreamy but serene Mitch II and you can get it through the Petersen Automotive Museum is a really good read and has wonderful photos and wonderful images and Bruce, thank you my friends for the pleasure.

I'm very glad you know that and thank you to all the firefighters, who know not to be in the hills going around, but in all the hills around Los Angeles. The roads are closed because of these horrible fires and these firefighters are doing the best job in the world, so we thank them very much and pray for those guys. Thank you all. See you next week.
