Timothy Alan Dick, known professionally as Tim Allen, is an American actor and comedian. He is known for playing Tim “The Toolman” Taylor on the ABC sitcom Home Improvement and Mike Baxter on the ABC/Fox sitcom Last Man Standing.
Allen has never hidden his passion for cars, whether on or off the set. Allen’s collection may not be as flashy as that of certain hip-hop musicians, but his garage is filled with pricey historic cars including Porsche, Ferrari, and Jaguar.
While Allen enjoys rebuilding cars to his specifications, many of his vehicles remain in their original condition. Join us as we take a look around Allen’s garage and see some of his sickest cars.

1. 2009 Corvette ZR1
Tim Allen Cars
Allen is a major Chevy fan, and one of his favourite models is the 2009 ZR1. The Corvette C6 features Performance Traction Management (PTM) technology, which optimises traction for improved on-track performance. A 6.2-liter intercooled engine produces 638 horsepower and 604 pound-feet of torque.
The 2009 Chevy ZR1 accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds and max out at 205 mph. Allen appears to be content with the ZR1 in its stock configuration, as there are no aftermarket parts.
2. 1963 Corvette
The 1963 Chevrolet Corvette was an instant marketing success, thanks to the C1’s reimagined design and increased performance. It’s one of the most prized – and collectible – Corvettes of all time, so it’s no surprise that Tim Allen has one.
Allen’s ’63 Corvette has the original factory paint job, which is still in excellent condition. Because you don’t want to lose the original appearance and feel of a highly sought-after model like this, Allen has avoided going too far with the ’63 Corvette.
3. 1965 Shelby Cobra
Allen has had a 1965 Shelby Cobra since the 1990s, and it is the epitome of what a roadster should be. The V8 engine and ultra-lightweight construction, among other things, make the ’65 Shelby Cobra a sought-after classic worth $1.5 million.
A 7.0-liter 427 cubic-inch V8 engine coupled to a 4-speed manual transmission produces 410 horsepower and 480 pound-feet of torque. The Shelby Cobra has a top speed of 185 mph and a sprint time of 4.2 seconds to 60 mph.
4. 1986 Ford RS200 Group B Rally Special
The 1986 Ford RS200 demonstrates Ford engineers’ incredible ingenuity in creating what is possibly the fastest, most powerful, and most capable race car ever. Tim Allen is one of the few people who can buy the 1986 Ford RS200 rally car, which has a worth of around $500,000 and was developed for Group B class rally racing.
Only about 200 basic RS200s were produced, and they are powered by a 2.1-liter turbocharged Cosworth BDT-E inline-4 engine producing 580 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque. With a 0-60mph time of 3.07 seconds, the 1986 RS200 Evolution held a 12-year Guinness World Record for the quickest car.
5. 1965 Jaguar E-Type
The 1965 Jaguar E-Type is one of Allen’s most beautiful and unique cars. Even Enzo Ferrari admired the Jaguar E-appearance, Type’s calling it the “most beautiful car in the world.” The real beauty, however, lies beneath the hood of the 1965 E-Type. The 4.2-liter inline-six engine produces 265 horsepower and 283 pound-feet of torque.
The E-Type received significant upgrades, including a completely synchromesh 4-speed manual transmission and a Laycock-Hausserman clutch. The 1965 E-Type had a top speed of 151 mph in its heyday. A number of 1965 Jaguar E-Types have sold for more than $200,000 at auction.
6. 1968 Chevrolet Camaro 427 COPO
When you think of the 1968 Chevrolet Camaro, one of the special editions that springs to mind is the COPO. Allen’s 1968 Camaro is not a genuine COPO. To create his own COPO muscle car, he collaborated with Detroit Speed, Bodie Stroud, and Classic Industries.
Allen’s COPO is powered by an LS7 (7.0-liter V8) engine that produces 505 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque. While a normal 1968 Camaro 427 COPO sells for roughly $90,000 at auction, Allen’s custom version is worth around $302,900.
7. 2015 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R
The Shelby GT350R is Ford’s most track-ready road-going production Mustang ever. Ford concentrated on strengthening chassis engineering and aerodynamics for the 2015 Shelby GT350R, resulting in a Mustang with never-before-seen track potential.
The 2015 Shelby GT350R is the first production V8 with a flat-plane crankshaft, as well as Ford’s most powerful naturally-aspirated engine. The 5.2-liter V8 engine produces 526 horsepower and over 400 pound-feet of torque.
8. 1966 Ferrari 330 GTC
The 330 GTC was introduced at the 1966 Geneva Motor Show as a more luxury alternative to the 275 GTB/4. Most of the stylistic features from the flagship 500 Superfast were carried over, including the circular egg-crate grille and the strong front fenders. The Ferrari coupe has leather seats, a wooden steering wheel, and a teak veneered dashboard.
Before it was upgraded in 1968, Ferrari produced around 600 vehicles of the 330 GTC. The 1966 Ferrari 330 GTC is powered by a 4.0-liter V12 engine that produces 300 horsepower and 287 pound-feet of torque. Tim paid $3,410,00 for the 1966 Ferrari coupe.
9. 1967 Porsche 911S SWB
Porsche’s rally racing history would be incomplete without discussing the 1967 911S SWB’s pivotal role. Tim Allen doesn’t own many Porsches, so the 911S Short Wheelbase he purchased for around $912,500 is absolutely unique.
The “S” in 911S stands for Super, since Porsche increased power from 148 hp to 180 hp and torque from 144 lb-ft to 144 lb-ft. According to independent third-party tests, the 2.0-liter inline-six engine is powerful enough to propel the car to 60 mph in 6.9 seconds and a quarter-mile in 15.2 seconds.
10. 1966 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350H
Tim, an American muscle car aficionado, can’t get enough of the Mustang Shelby GT series. Tim Allen obtained one of only 50 1966 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350H models made. Carroll Shelby, the famed car designer, collaborated with The Hertz Corporation to create this uncommon high-performance Shelby GT.
The ’66 Shelby GT350H is powered by a 4.7-liter V8 engine. The engine produces 306 horsepower and 329 pound-feet of torque. Allen’s ’66 Shelby GT350H is worth over $297,000.
