My first car was a beautiful 69 Mach 1, we paid $4500 for it in 1980. My advice to that kid would be to NEVER sell that car, you will regret it if you do. I miss you Dad.

Jay, In 1964, I was seventeen years of age. I was driving a Model A Ford to high school and was to go to San Jose State College the following year. My father did not want me to commute to San Jose in my old Ford, and asked me if I wanted to go look at a new Mustang. Every Ford dealer had just one for display. Griswold and Wright Ford in Modesto, Harry Lafayette was the salesman. Dad said i could order the small V8, which was a 260 at the time. I did order the four-speed, tinted glass, AM radio, accent package, (Wire hub caps, like Jack's, pinstripe only on the sides, no fake chrome scoop). Poppy red was the color. Seven weeks for delivery, the longest seven weeks of my life. About four weeks into it, we were notified the 260 had been discontinued and I would have to settle for the new 289 (darn...). Then on the sixth week, Harry Lafayette called and asked dad and I if we wanted to watch my car being built at the Ford Plant in Fremont, California. Very interesting day. They had four hundred Mustangs in various stages on the line, turning out four hundred a day. They had such computer cards and could Identify my car on the line. My car finally arrived in Modesto. I was the seventh person in Modesto to get a Mustang.I drove that car all through college, put 88k miles on it and sold it for $1100. I forgot to mention, the base price of the Mustang I ordered was $2368, all the extras, delivery and tax, it came to $2902. I felt good, at seventy-four now, to watch the video on Jack Mintz. Seems like a nice young man. if he has any questions, he can write to me at tatoyanr@yahoo.com Richard Tatoyan

@@pete1729 if that had been me back in the day, and the boys said “oh your car was marketed for women”, I would have said “yeah, and that’s why a version later became one of the most iconic cars in movies, made famous by a man named STEVE MCQUEEN in BULLIT....soooo.....there’s that....”

More to your point, there used to be a local broadcasting legend named Huell Howser that also treated anyone he talked to with the same easy going attitude. Never condescending, just as a curious person. If you showed an enthusiasm for a subject, whether it be a pot of mud or Yosemite falls, it didn't matter, he wanted you to share your story. Good job Mr. Leno.

I bought my 1992 Eunos Roadster right before my 14th birthday. Buying a classic car at a young age is brilliant, you learn so much but everyone at school says "but you cant legally drive it" thats not the point! haha. Jack has an amazing Mustang, well done mate.

I will bet young Mintz's dad is so pleased to see his son with Jay and watch how great his demeanor is with Jay. Also, I note this young man is not starting out going the muscle way, rather a simple solution for his first car while still in school. I am more impressed (as a father) with this young man than his first vehicle. Jay deserves some serious kudos for "balancing" his program via presentations such as this!

Mr.Leno,I have to give you SOOO much respect & love ,because even though you're what most people would say is a "Rich Person" , the money hasn't changed who you are as a man. Showcasing this young man's car on your KZfaq channel, is something you didn't have to do( you have MANY cars in your personal collection that are worth 100 times his car) But you took the time & had the respect to showcase his car. Thank you Mr.Leno for just being who you are sir!!
