It is obvious that Jay enjoyed his time with Joker. It was great to have him share his dream car and the background on it. Jay did Joker right giving him the time to talk about his car and the stories behind it. Well done Mr. Leno and take care Joker, thank you for your service sir, have a good one!
Jay got his TURBINE CARs engine rebuilt by the original designers!!! That's astounding!!
Sweet! He could have added a comment about what G.T.O. stood for…Grand Turismo Omologato.
My first car 65 GTO. My GTO ran great and had 300k . Drank fuel and oil but for $500 it was really cool . 😎👍🇺🇸
What a great episode! I actually owned a 65 GTO convertible and, to this day, one of my favorite cars ever. And I never even heard of the bobcat edition till this episode. The passion Joker had and knowledge of the 65 GTO was truly enjoyable. Joker and Jay made a great team. Thank you for your service Joker!
Hey Joker! Check out the 38:15 mark, it appears you have a bad belt on your Driver's rear tire. No way it should be bouncin' like that. Beautiful car! So glad you're living the dream!
Loved this episode.
Cool car and cool episode. I love the cars with vertical headlights, gave them a special personality.
Great video. Great story. Great car. GTO= the GreaT One 😎
