In life, there are options. The option to choose between one thing versus another is great, but for comedian Jerry Seinfeld, there are just too many options, especially regarding his car collection!

This particular car is only one of the 70 cars made in 1955. This is one of the same cars that actor James Dean was fatally injured in when he was involved with his accident many years ago. The Porsche 550 RS can reach a top speed of 140 miles per hour. This car was once a racing car and was spotted in the Mille Miglia race.

Seinfeld is seen here with the Porsche 550 RS. The car does resemble Jazz of The Transformers Generation One if you Generation X’ers did not catch on. Jerry Seinfeld put this car into an exhibition at the Los Angeles Auto show in 2008. Jerry Seinfeld has expressed his opinion about this particular Porsche, saying: “You can’t drive a sonnet by Shakespeare or a symphony by Beethoven. But this would be the automotive equivalent.”

The Porsche 911 Carrera RS is another rare car that Seinfeld has in his car collection. This car was involved in one accident in 2014 but it has been restored. There were only 49 models of the Porsche 911 Carrera RS that were produced. The car has a five-speed gearbox and also a six-cylinder engine. This is another car that is considered by pundits of the car industry to be a race car.

The Porsche 911 Carrera was yet another car that Jerry Seinfeld used this car in the Seinfeld sitcom titled “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee.” This is one of Seinfeld’s most prized cars in his car collection.

The 1949 Porsche 356 has the distinction of being one of the first production cars designed and also believed to be the 22nd Porsche that was made. The Porsche 356 was made between 1949 and 1950, and there were only 52 of these cars out there. Seinfeld just happened to purchase number 40 of this line or Porsche.

This car was made authentic to its time. Not a stitch of fiberglass was used and the car is made of pure aluminum. It also has two carburetors and a split windshield. This car was manufactured at the original Porsche manufacturing plant in Gmund, Austria.

This has got to be one of the most unique looking cars in any car collector’s garage. This Porsche 718 definitely reflected the times and it kind of looks like it should have been in a race alongside Herbie the Love Bug.

The 1959 Porsche 718 RSK comes complete with an all-aluminum body frame, and a four-cylinder twin-cam. The only drawback to this car is the no crash protection feature, which is really not necessary since the car is not being used in any racing competition. The Porsche 718 seems to be a fun car to drive and it is a valuable asset in any car collection.

The Porsche 911S “Henri” sounds like a pretty unique name, especially for a Porsche. Who would name a car the “Henri” you ask? This car was actually named after a specialist by the name of Henri Joffroy. This is one of the cars that really catches people’s attention when they have a look at Seinfeld’s collection of cars. This particular car has participated in many Monte Carlo race competitions.

The vibrant color almost jumps out at a person, and it comes complete with a six-cylinder boxer engine. It is easy to see why Jerry Seinfeld chose this car to have as a part of his car collection.

The 1989 Porsche 911 Carrera Speedster has the look and feel of a fancy sports car, but there is only one drawback. A person would expect a car of this caliber to have an air conditioner inside, but this particular Porsche does not have an air conditioning system at all. A person would either have to let the wind hit them in the face or sweat it out.

ADVERTISEMENT

Jerry Seinfeld sold this car for $363,000. He had some good things to say about this particular model, “One of my favorite 911s and another of the greatest summer cars of all time. I like the Star Wars Storm Trooper look with a snazzy low-cut top. I’ve had five different ’89 Speedsters over the years in different colors. Loved every one. This one is cool because it doesn’t have A/C. Lighter.” Next up: Jerry gets his hands on the wheel of a prototype.

The 1974 911 Carrera 3.0 IROC RSR is a collector’s item for car enthusiasts such as Jerry Seinfeld. This car was an actual race car that used to be driven by a race car driver named Peter Revson. Revson participated in the Roger Penske International Race of Champions in this particular car. This particular car was also custom made just for the Roger Penske’s IROC series of cars.

This car is now driven by Jerry Seinfeld. Although he does not use it for racing, he has driven this car for a long time in his own words: “I’ve had this car for 15 years and driven it everywhere. It’s a dream car for me. First IROC made and first 3.0 911 ever. Only Porsche made indestructible, full-on race cars like this that you could, and still can, drive anywhere you want. The sound will make your life.”

No car collection would be complete without an actual race car. There is just something about driving a race car around in a residential area or just going for a cruise around town. The urge to put the pedal to the metal would be irresistible. You would definitely be the center of attention in a car such as the 1973 Porsche 917/30 Can-Am Spyder.

This is a very rare racing car since there were only six of these cars made, and Seinfeld happened to be one of the lucky owners of this particular model of Porsche racing car. Seinfeld seems to like the car and has gone on to say: “What’s very surprising about this car is how comfortable and easy to drive the most powerful race car the world will ever see is. I never drove it as fast as it can go. The car’s crazy. I’m not.”

As they say, parting is such sweet sorrow, unless you are Jerry Seinfeld. The Porsche 356 was a car with a pretty powerful engine and it was developed near the end of the Porsche 356 series. The Porsche 356 was actually made to be used on a race track to compete against other cars.

Gooding & Co., a classic car auction company, said the 356 Porsche was “the ultimate development of the 356 range." Jerry Seinfeld sold this car for $850,000. He said that the car was, ”An amazing car with an amazing sound. These are so rare, harder to find than an Abarth. But just as thrilling. Four-cams at high rpm are reasons to live.”

The 1957 version of the Porsche 356 is one of the most popular in the Porsche line of vehicles. The 1957 version of the Porsche 356 is a prized possession for any owner, and in 2010, the Porsche 356 tied for the highest score for this type of Porsche at a Porsche car show.

Jerry Seinfeld decided to purchase a 1957 Porsche 356 in 2010. He then sold this car in that very same year for $682,000. He had his opinions about this vehicle, going on record as saying: “My favorite detail is the Porsche badge on the nose, which has been left in its original condition. Note the fit of the rear lid and the shift pattern sticker on the windshield. So perfect. ‘57 was the only year for Aquamarine Blue Metallic, and the beehive tail lights are the best.”

This 1964 Porsche 911 is a nugget in the car collection of Jerry Seinfeld. Ferry Porsche, after which the line of cars was named, was the designer and actual owner of this particular Porsche. Jerry Seinfeld purchased this Porsche in 1996 and spent $400,000 for this car.

Seinfeld shipped this Porsche to Germany for repairs done by Cavaglieri Restorations shortly after it was purchased. As you could imagine, the labor and parts for this car cost an arm and a leg.

A car of its time, a sea foam green GS/GT Carrera Speedster was a lightweight, high-performance vehicle with a race car engine and the sleekness of a sports car all rolled into one. This car may have been an imported vehicle and it has actually been in race car competition sometime in the late '60s and early '70s.

ADVERTISEMENT

With all of the wear-and-tear from racing such a car, Jerry Seinfeld purchased this speedster sometime in 2012. The car was restored to its original condition before Jerry Seinfeld made the purchase. Seafoam green may have dulled on the comedian’s senses as the car was sold for $1.5 million.

This car is only one of the ten cars ever made. The other nine cars may or may not be in existence, which means the car that Seinfeld owns may very well be the very last Cabriolet that exists today. The cars were produced in 1966, but for some strange reason, production came to a halt for these vehicles. The Porsche 356 SC Cabriolet has something interesting on the front hood. Take a close look at the picture.

The original intention of the 2000 Porsche Carrera GT was to be made for racing. Sadly, this is the vehicle that actor Paul Walker had an accident in which cost him his life. The Porsche Carrera Prototype was just that, a prototype that was only used for development purposes.

This “model” of a car made a transition and became a competitor of such cars as Mercedes-Benz and the like. Seinfeld purchased this car in 2007. The dealership took the engine control computer out before he purchased this car, and they made an exclamation that anyone who purchased this vehicle would never drive it.

1986 Porsche 959

Another car, another Porsche. There is some speculation that Jerry Seinfeld might have paid somewhere around $700,000 for this particular Porsche. This is another rare car that is hard to find. These cars are hard to find because there were only 337 models of the 1986 Porsche 959 that were produced.

ADVERTISEMENT

This car had a unique feature to it that perhaps no other vehicle had. When the 1986 Porsche was introduced to the world, it was the fastest street-legal car. Another interesting fact about the Porsche 959 is that many people consider it to be the first of the super cars.

1960 Volkswagen Beetle

The beetle, or more affectionately known as the bug, was a very common staple of American society, especially during the '60s. Seinfeld perhaps felt the nostalgic value of this car, since it does vary from the other cars mentioned supra. You have to take a break from the Porsche sometimes, and the Volkswagen Beetle is one car that Seinfeld loves in his car collection.

ADVERTISEMENT

The unique thing about his 1960 Volkswagen Beetle is that this is an original beetle and it has not been restored in any way, shape, or form. Seinfeld just had to say something about his bug: “I love the colors of this car and the mileage is ridiculous. This is the last year of the classic 36 hp engine. I think selling this was a huge mistake.”

This may be perhaps the most up-to-date car out of Seinfeld’s car collection. The 2011 Porsche 997 Speedster has an estimated value of between $300,000 - $400,000. This Porsche is custom built for Jerry Seinfeld with the exclusive customization packages DZM and DZP. The car has a Pure Blue finish to it.

There have only been 356 of the 2011 Porsche 997’s made, and Seinfeld has number nine. This car is an import and Jerry Seinfeld has shared his liking for the car. He has gone on record as saying: “Porsche made this car just for me with a lot of cool bare carbon fiber, which I never get tired of”.

1964 Volkswagen Camper

This has got to be the major deviation from any vehicle in Seinfeld’s car collection. It is not the most sporty vehicle in his collection, and it lacks the opulence of the many Porsches displayed in this article. Some of you may ponder on why Seinfeld has this in his collection. Is it because of the comedic appeal or is there something else to this?

ADVERTISEMENT

Of course, he has a preference of just about any vehicle, as a comedian of his caliber would, but there is some sentimental value to this vehicle for Seinfeld as he has expressed: “When my kids were little we would drive around in this bus every Sunday to get bagels and lox. The little kitchen drives them wild. We got busted by the cops with it for putting up an illegal lemonade stand this past summer in the Hamptons.”

During a vacation to Budapest actor Tom Hanks posed with a classic Fiat and posted a joking tweet, "So excited about my new car! Hanx". His fans then mobilized to purchase and gift the actor with a white Polski Fiat. It was even customized with a speedometer that reads "Bielsko-Biala" and "One of One".

Hanks is one of those celebrities who does right by his fans, and they felt compelled to show their love back. While he certainly has the means to purchase his own cars, this one holds a special value.
