That was a fun video to watch, he's very into it. I'm just curious, as to why his "66 is missing the side scoops, and the Quarter windows, both of which came on the '66?????
The first 70 '66 GT350 cars had carryoverparts from the '65's. The '66 cars had parts updated as the parts became available so the parts can be mixed.

Jay needs to drive a New GT 500 modded like mine, then he can make another video!!
Jay Leno already has the new GT500. Went to Michigan and watched his car go down the assembly line and I doubt very much he paid an ADM. He also has the Ford GT and rumor has it he has the Shelby GT/SC. If its a cool car you know Jay Leno will have one. I'm sure he's waiting on the new Camaro and the new Challenger. Hopefully someday his collection will be in a museum for all of us to enjoy. They don't show alot of Jays' really special muscle cars for some reason, you manly hear about his steamers, or his custom built Buick's. The one I liked was the Riviera with the Corvette motor and suspension, the ultimate sleeper.

I'm pretty sure it was a '66 Oldsmobile Tornado(a FWD car) with the drivetrain reconfigured to RWD and a twin turbo LS7 engine(Z06 motor) tuned to 1000hp(on race fuel). Freakin' rich guys, hate 'em and admire them at the same time.[8D]

I thought Jay said a few times that it was a 65 (first year car - they got it right)

Awesome video, btw
