Ford had a turbine car before Chrysler. They used a 1957 Thunderbird. There problem was not regenerating the heat. They put huge exhaust vents in the front fenders between the tire and the door. There are pictures of the car online

Saw it in person twice. It never fails to amaze!

Mopar or no power

I'm delighted Jay and his team were able to rebuild the engine, I hope they included some fail-safe mechanisms that can shut off fuel if temps rise above limits because this thing is so unique and expensive. Such automatic engine controls are commonplace in modern aircraft turbines.

The car that will kill off a great Brand R.I.P. DODGE You will be MISSED...

I saw one in 64-65. We were walking down a street in Dallas and one started coming out of a parking garage. I was glad that I knew what it was and could tell others.

Didn't even know it was running until 5:00

The magnum made for her pleasure 😏

Leno has more $ than brains. Barf!

One of the coolest cars EVER!

ONE AWESOME CAR I LOVE THESE CARS

I've seen Jay drive it past the camera and IT IS NOT EVEN QUIET LET ALONE SILENT!!

I got a ride in one in 1964. I remember that jet engine sound. What a piece of history.

and that little boy was a car guy ever since

A Chrysler Turbine car.. at a Fiat convention.

Jay has always been a car guy. The talk show was just a side gig.

Even for a Chrysler this thing is ugly.

It’s funny how Jay pronounces turbine, last I checked a Turban was that funny hat that East Indian people wear.

Plastic mold injection piece of junk automobile!!!!

Come on guys,at least wipe the rocks off the pad.

Second gen barracuda. Awesome.

“Ew brother ewww what is that?!?”

FCKNG CLASSIC *

I wonder if the engine is based on one that was pre-existing

This was at Woodward, not whatever hemi shootout...

Steve Lehto standing behind Jay!

Remember when first saw chrysler turbine orange paint..

The late great Chrysler ....

Very cool car and history!

Anybody can pull wheelies with the engine in the back

Jay Leno rolled 4 or 5 times in one just like it

The father of a kid in my Boy Scout troop had a Chrysler jet turbine car then (65?). I never got to ride in it, but saw it a couple times at meetings. I remember it took some time to warm up after being off for a while!

Thanks

Young people in the crowd: Drum brakes? 🤔🥁 Me: 😄

History states that the turbines Cost ~10,000$ each to MFG while a Complete car typially cost ~2000$ to buy at the time. There was No way back then to reduce power unit costs.... so they were repurchased and scrapped as they were considered as a corporate Embarrassment.

Isn't that a '67 'Cuda? 🤔

That car has always bothered me because it looks too much like a Thunderbird which was a successful car. Oh, I liked and subscribed, just don't like the disturbine turbine which is what I call it.

An amazing car.😎

charger buy in temu

Hay dude. I. We. Want. One. Ok. 2. Uh. Ya

Jays a national treasure.

In a documentary about the turbine car, the Jay Leno owns they talk about how he burned up the motor and they started restoring it but there’s nothing else about the continuation of restoring it and get it back together and getting it running that I’ve seen until this or it’s done, I would like to see more documentaries of them restoring this motor for Jay Leno

from k-cars to jet cars, the Chrysler corporation

i didn't know he could restore the turbine of this car after the incident.

I can remember riding in one at the 64 world's fair, it was so cool! The coolest part though was a lady in Queens Village, who had one she would offer us rides for cool she would throw Kerosene in it to power it between this and the mustang rides at the Ford Exhibition it was car heaven!

So nice of Jay to show us time and again that to enjoy all the really good things in life you need to be filthy rich.

0:37….55 cars built but then at 2:10….he says 50 were built. Is my man slipping?!?

Engine could run on many fuels. Key factor. Something like that could never be made available to the public.

Great video

This is horrible 😂
