I like him.

And I like his programme about his cars.

This is a really lovely looking car; especially in red with the silver rear strip.

Thanks JK. Jay Leno does a great job of explaining this car. My mother had a couple of Corvairs, her favourite being a 1964 Spider 4 speed convertible, the last year before this redesign. She loved driving it and got more than her share of speeding tickets. Good memories here.

I owned a '65 monza hardtop and I agree with everything that Leno says about the car.  I loved it then and still do.  As a matter of fact, now that I've seen this video my mind is traveling to a thought that shouldn't be there.  I'm imagining one of these in my garage.  A convertible.

(Added later)  So much for my dream.  This video must have been done many years ago.  One of these cars can't be bought for $10K.   His is probably worth $35 - $40K.

@kocour. That’s why I have 2 Corvairs and these other cars in 43 scale.   Just saw on Barret Jackson a 55 Tbird vin 005 go for 350K.  😳
