    Re: Jay Leno's Shelby

    Cars OK, Keep in mind the web site is sponsored by GM, so details are not that important! It's also a shame that he mixed up the monte carlo bar with the export brace. Horn toggle looks correct, Looks like a repo tach from the 2 angles they show.
    I give them an A for effort - dam it would be nice to have even a few of the other cars in the background pix!
    Good post:thumbup:

    Re: Jay Leno's Shelby

    Even Jay got it wrong when he introduced the car. Must be nice to have so many cars that you forget exactly what you have....

    Regardless - beautiful ride.

    That was great to watch. Jay sure seems to genuinely love that car! My favorite quote: "...better than the stock market, except you can always sell stock, but you would never sell a Shelby!":thumbup:

    Re: Jay Leno's Shelby

    One thing that ive always admired about jay leno is that he truly drives his cars. Although he doesnt keep them stalk by any means, he outfits them for good driving and says he never modifies them permantently. For gods sake, the man drives a duesenburg chassis bodyless around town. Gotta Love That!
    BEst Regards,
    Vern

    Re: Jay Leno's Shelby

    Until just couple of years ago, I used to work in Burbank and the NBC facility there was a well-visited customer. Got to see Jay's Shelby in person several times along with lots of his other vehicles he would drive to work. They would put the draped barriers around his vehicle when it was parked. Never did have the chance to meet him though...

    Re: Jay Leno's Shelby

    Great link...thanks!

    I called Carroll about a year ago and he was at Leno's garage. Carroll has known him for years and has told me he is very impressed with Jay's automotive knowledge. :thumbup:
