That thing is amazing! And proof the gt500 should have been offered with a manual. Listen to that engine, so badass

Spoiler Alert: Jay drops a hint on how the new grille will look like the classic one off his truck.

*not sure if he misspoke but mentioned the hat the hood pins were off the "new car"

Pretty awesome rig, but they pretty much could’ve made that from scratch instead of “resto-moding” a pretty decent setup. Gotta laugh when he says it was run to the ground before he got it. You can give me a “beater” like that anytime. I’ll make some room. Original roll cage.?

Ford was involved in this project, and Leno had to have a white top....I’m thinking there might be a few surprises during the reveal. :)

Pretty cool project car, and some pretty good timing on the release of the video.
Thanks for this! On vacation this week - great start to the day with my cup of coffee. I feel like a kid on Christmas Eve waiting for the reveal tonight :D

...After watching this video, I'm determined: One way or another I will have my white top.

Did y’all noticed the hood lock/pins?
Check out Minute 20- Leno said “this is also off the new car”.
Few more hours and we will know!
Edit: he clearly states it’s off the GT500. (n) Just heard what I wanted to hear.

I'm calling it now, it will be Jay Leno driving away as the new owner of Bronco serial #1.

Dude is living the dream life, eh?! Did he get all his money when he took the Tonight Show helm?

I think someone mentioned this some time ago, but this Bronco seems very close to the Antimatter Blue. It's interesting that he also says that he hopes this color combo is available in the new Bronco. Alright Ford, you heard him, blue with the white top.

The hood pins were off the new GT500. I highly doubt the Bronco is getting them.

When he said they're also off the new car, he's referring to where the motor came from.
