Yada, Yada, Yada, Cool Cars

You probably already know Jerry Seinfeld has three great loves: comedians, cars, and coffee. But what you might not realize is that the guy isn’t just a casual fan—he’s a full-blown, card-carrying car obsessive. Well, surprise: now you do. We’re not about to tour all ~150 rides in his garage empire, but we are going to spotlight some of the coolest cars he owns—or used to own. Starting with…

1966 Porsche 356C SC Police Car

Seinfeld is a huge Porsche fan, and it's been reported that he's had close to 50 Porches in his collection at times—including "a large number of 911s". There's also a 1966 Porsche 356C SC Police Car valued at around $400,000. 

What makes this particular 356 so rare and valuable is that while Porsche produced over 16,000 365s, the last 10 were put aside for the Dutch police forces. This is one of those 10.

1969 Porsche 917K Kurzheck

Even casual Porsche fans know the 917. This is one of the most iconic cars the company ever produced—and they only made 36 of them. But if that isn't impressive enough, the particular 917 that Seinfeld owns was the one driven by Steve McQueen in the movie Le Mans (which just ups the "cool" factor even more). This particular vehicle is valued at $20 million.

1955 Porsche 550 Spyder

We swear, this isn't going to be just Porsches, but we couldn't just leave the 1955 Porsche 550 Spyder off of the list. Valued at $5 million, the company only produced 90 of these vehicles back in the day, and—as some of you may know—it was a 550 Spyder that James Dean was driving when he suffered his fatal crash on September 30, 1955.

1967 Austin-Healey 3000 MkIII

Ricky Gervais was the passenger in this classic vehicle on the premier episode of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. 1967 was the final year of production on this car and Seinfeld has kept his MkIII in historically perfect condition (paint, upholstery, and all).

1976 Lamborghini Countach

Fans of Seinfeld's Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee will remember the gorgeous blue 1976 Lamborghini Countach as the car Seinfeld drove when he picked up Jim Carrey for their coffee date.

1953 Porsche 550 Prototype

If you know the Porsche 550 then you know it is a rare gem of a race car. Well, the 550 Prototype is even rarer (15 were made) and with a value of $8 million, it's gotta be one of Seinfeld's most coveted cars.

2012 Porsche 997 GT3 4.0 Cup “Brumos Commemorative Edition”

Only five of these “Brumos Commemorative Edition” beauties were ever built, and Seinfeld snagged his straight from Brumos Porsche. Better yet, it was basically factory-fresh when he got it—logging less than two hours of track time. In other words, it was practically still stretching when Jerry drove it home.

1957 BMW 507 Series II

Only 252 507 Series II BMWs ever landed on America's shores, and Jerry Seinfeld owns one of them. It's a stunning white one that would be worth over $2 million at auction and that you can see if you watch the Christoph Waltz episode of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee.

1969 Lamborghini Miura P400S

Legend has it that Ferruccio Lamborghini didn't want to get into building race cars and so the Lamborghini’s engineering team designed the Miura P400S in their spare time behind his back—and when they revealed their prototype, he changed his mind.

1971 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona

With only 1,284 of these speedsters ever made, they've gone for as high as $661,000 at auction—although it's been reported that Seinfeld got his bright yellow one for $250,000. This is the car that earned the nickname "Ferrari Daytona" after its 1-2-3 finish at the 24 Hours of Daytona race. Amy Schumer was the comedian in this car when she went to get coffee with Seinfeld.

The First 911

Of all Seinfeld's 911s, this has to be one of the coolest—at least we think so. It's the first Porsche ever to be badged a "911", and a car that was previously owned by none other than Ferry Porsche himself.

The Last 911

Given his rabid Porsche enthusiasm, it probably won't surprise you to know that—along with the first 911 ever—Jerry Seinfeld also has the last 911 ever produced.

1964 Aston Martin DB5

James Bond fans will know the DB5 as one of 007's iconic vehicles—first seen in 1964's Goldfinger. If you want to see this one, go back and check out the Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee episode with his Seinfeld co-star, Julia Louis-Dreyfus. We aren't sure how much Seinfeld paid for it, but it's had auction values anywhere from $1.2-$6.4 million.

1963 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray

The Stingray is basically sacred ground for car people—and with so few original 1963 models still roaming the wild, Seinfeld’s near-mint split-window stunner is a serious trophy for his garage. It’s also the very car he rolled up in to pick up President Obama for Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, which is about as close as a Corvette gets to an official White House endorsement.

1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing

Car lovers know the Gullwing for its stunning design—and Seinfeld has called the 300SL "about as perfect as it comes when it comes to classic cars". The car sold for $6,820 back in the day—but these days at auction, it's gone for $6.825 million. Seinfeld's Gullwing also made an appearance in Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee—the Lorne Michaels episode.

1969 Jaguar XKE Series 2 E-Type

Based on the D-Type car that won three Le Mans races in a row in the 1950s, the E-type has been called the most beautiful car ever made by none other than Enzo Ferrari himself (at least, that is what people say he said). But he isn't the only one. In 2008, The Daily Telegraph ranked it the most beautiful car of all time.

1964 Morgan Plus 4

You can't look at this car and not want to take a nice Sunday drive through the British countryside. Seinfeld's Morgan Plus 4 classic roadster is valued at $80,000—which seems pretty good given Morgan no longer exists.

1986 Porsche 959

Called the top sports car of the 1980s by Sports Car International, the 959 was the fastest street-legal consumer car in its day. We don't know if Jerry Seinfeld has ever pushed it to its 211 mph limit.

2017 Acura NSX

This 2017 version of the NSX is a redesign of the well-known 90s Acura. While the 90s version might hold a more special place in some fan's hearts, this slick 2017 car is valued at $150,000.

1960 Porsche 356B Carrera GTL Abarth

Carlos Abarth teamed up with Porsche on a few cars—and the 356B was one of them. There were only 20 of these bad boys produced—which is one reason why this eye-catching rarity is valued at $3.5 million.

1975 Porsche 935

How many Porsches do you have sitting around that are worth $5 million? If you’re Jerry Seinfeld, the answer is: at least one. He owns a racing-spec 911 that didn’t just show up to compete—it showed up to collect trophies, including a win at the 1979 Le Mans and 122 victories across 369 races. And because Jerry’s garage never does “common,” only two of these speed demons were ever made—Seinfeld has number one.

Porsche 908/03 Spyder

Porsche and racing fans will know this car as the one that took home the victory at the 1970 Targa Florio race. And with its baby clue coloring, those orange arrows, and the touches of bright green on the front and back—this one stands out wherever it goes.

As does...

Porsche 718 Spyder

Not only does Seinfeld own the race-winning 908/03 Spyder, but he also owns a one-of-a-kind 718 Spyder he commissioned to honor the 50th anniversary of said 908/03 vehicle.

1994 Land Rover Defender 90

It might not be the most valuable car in the collection, or the most pristine—but isn't that the point of a Land Rover? To not be pristine? He calls it "Countess", because it was once owned by an African countess. This is the car Seinfeld taught his daughter to drive with.

911 Classic Club Coupe

In 2023, Seinfeld won this 911 Classic Club Coupe at auction for $1.3 million. Why so much? Well, it's a Porsche. But not just any Porsche. This 911 is a one-of-one Sonderwunsch project automobile based on a 911 Carrera (996 generation).

1973 Porsche 911T

Sure, it's a beautiful car—but, we really wanted to make sure we mentioned this one because it was the first Porsche 911 Seinfeld added to his collection. This is the car that began his love affair with the iconic model.

1970 Porsche 911s

This particular 911 was built specifically for the son of Porsche's founder. How cool is that? The company also did a complete restoration of the car prior to Seinfeld purchasing it.

1960 Volkswagen Beetle

Seinfeld doesn’t have a 1960 Volkswagen Beetle in his garage anymore—it was one of the rides he sent off to auction back in 2016. Even Jerry, it seems, occasionally lets a classic punch out early.

1964 Volkswagen Camper

This is another one that was part of that 2016 auction. We'd like to think it had "Peace" decals on the sides and shag carpet inside—but we have no idea.

1958 Porsche 356A 1500 GS/GT Carrera Speedster

And speaking of that auction—this super rare 356A 1500 GS/GT Carrera Speedster was also sold in 2016. However, in 2019, the buyers went back to Seinfeld with a lawsuit, claiming the car was counterfeit. Seinfeld then sued European Collectibles (from whom he had purchased the vehicle).

The cases were all settled in 2022.
