I enjoyed that. Thanks for posting. Jay has a style all his own. He clearly enjoys driving that car.

While I was growing up my dad drove a dark gray '67 2+2 that he ordered from Pontiac. It had a 428 w/ a 4spd, was a black ragtop w/ AC.
I'll find some pics to post.

To hear Jay laughing after he put his right boot into gas peddle is priceless.
I look forward to Jay's weekly YouTube episode.

Cool video and awesome car. Jay obviously got a couple facts wrong, but to be expected when you deal with all the cars he does - great to see him feature/drive this one!

Yeah, his Pontiac knowledge is not great, so what, he contributes...
He said his car got the 428, that year, not the 421. Last year for 421 was 66...
He did a great job on the car!!!

Very enjoyable video !

What ISN'T enjoyable is remembering that I purchased my first new car in 1967, a Mustang 390 GTA, that loaded cost MORE than Mr. Leno's 2+2. Of course, at the time, like many my age, I wanted the Mustang "performance". Could have had a car like Mr. Leno's for less money (and probably less insurance !).

IIRC... My parents paid $4700 for their '67 2+2 new.
