2. 1949 Porsche 356
Jay Leno also agrees that this Porsche is one of the most expensive vehicles in Seinfeld’s collection. Jerry also picked him to ride in this beauty. It is the 40th car coming from the Gmund Austria factory. It is a completely hand-built car with most of its parts intact.
3. 1966 Porsche 356 SC Cabriolet
Why is there a ‘Polizei’ writing on the rear of this car? Because it once belonged to the Dutch police force. But now it is in the Porsche Collection of Jerry Seinfeld. He picked up Barry Marder in this car in an episode of Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee. It was also used for rally moto races.
4. 1964 Porsche 911

5. 1983 Porsche 959
This model was originally designed as a concept vehicle. Jerry’s car is one of the only 200 such models ever made. At that time, Porsche couldn’t send enough units to the US Department of Transport for testing purposes. This makes it illegal to drive on US roads. Thus it is preserved under the ‘Show and Display’ laws.
6. 1986 Porsche 959S
As if owning one 959 wasn’t enough, Jerry owns two of them. This one is the 1986 Porsche 959S i.e. the sport version of the standard 959. Its top speed goes up to 211 mph. It is the fastest street car of its time.
7. 1990 Porsche 962C

10. 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RS
This car has a quite weird event attached to it. A lady driving BMW backed into the car while Jerry was sitting across the street. She just told Jerry that she was unable to see the car and drove away. It must’ve hurt Jerry (Mentally of course) given that this car is one of only 49 in the world.

13. 2000 Porsche Carrera GT Prototype
No matter what the case, Jerry cannot take this out on the road even though the car is fully functioning. That’s because being a prototype, it ain’t road legal.
