The most valuable car we can tie to Jerry Seinfeld is the 1969 Porsche 917K from the film Le Mans, which he sold privately in 2025 in what he called the $25 million range. We documented 12 of his Porsches, three of which are still his as far as public reporting shows, and those three add up to about $4.7 million, our estimate as of November 2026. His full garage is far bigger and mostly private, so treat this as the part of the iceberg that has surfaced, counted down to the 917K.

| Total, documented cars he still owns (our estimate) | about $4,700,000 |
Eight of the cars on this list crossed the block at Gooding & Company’s Amelia Island sale in March 2016, when part of his collection fetched about $22.2 million in one evening. Those cars, and the 917K he sold in 2025, are ranked but left out of the total. The three he kept are the ones we can still place in his hands.
12. 1963 Porsche 356 B 2000 GS/GT Carrera 2 Coupe: about $900,000
The Carrera 2 looks like an ordinary 356 until you hear it. Under the lid sits Porsche’s four-cam racing engine, a fiddly, high-revving unit that needs a specialist to set up and rewards whoever pays for it. Seinfeld’s coupe sold for $825,000 in 2016.
Four-cam Porsches have kept climbing since, and we added about 10% to the 2016 hammer price.
11. 1998 Porsche 993 3.8 Cup RSR: about $1 million
The 993 RSR was a customer race car, built with a 3.8-litre flat-six, a roll cage and very little else. It belongs to the final generation of air-cooled 911s, which is a big part of its appeal. Seinfeld’s went for $935,000 at Amelia Island.
Air-cooled race 911s have held up well, so a figure just over the sale price felt right.
10. 1994 Porsche 964 Turbo 3.6 S Flachbau: about $1.1 million
Flachbau means “flat build” in German, and it describes the slant nose with pop-up lights borrowed from the 935 racers. Porsche’s special-wishes department built them in a very small run. Seinfeld’s crossed seven figures in 2016, selling for $1,017,500.
Rare 964 Turbo variants have firmed up since, which puts this one at about $1.1 million in our model.
9. 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7: about $1.2 million
If you have watched Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, you have probably seen this car. Seinfeld picked up Seth Meyers in a 1973 Carrera RS 2.7, the lightweight homologation special with the “ducktail” rear wing that collectors consider the purest 911 ever made. The episode’s running joke was that the car had belonged to a man who had since died, and Seinfeld seemed delighted by the idea of driving a dead guy’s Porsche.
It was not among the cars he sold in 2016, and later accounts still place it in his collection.
Good RS 2.7 Touring cars sell for roughly $1 million to $1.4 million, so we used the middle.
8. Porsche 959: about $1.7 million
The 959 was Porsche’s 1980s technology showcase: twin turbochargers, all-wheel drive, adjustable suspension and a top speed near 200 mph. It was also never certified for American roads, which meant US owners could not legally drive one until the 1999 “Show or Display” rule opened a narrow door.
Seinfeld’s 959 was described in 2016 as part of the collection he kept in his Manhattan garage, and it was not consigned to the auction. He has never publicly said it has gone.
Standard 959s have been selling for about $1.5 million to $2 million in recent years, and without public details of his car’s specification we used $1.7 million.
7. 1949 Porsche 356/2 Gmund Coupe: about $1.8 million
Before Porsche had a factory in Stuttgart, it built cars by hand in a former sawmill in Gmund, Austria. Ferry Porsche’s team built a limited series of 52 cars there, and Seinfeld has one: car number 40, according to the engraving inside. He drove it to pick up Jay Leno in an early season of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, explaining on camera that it was hand-built in Gmund with everything original.
The car was missing from the 2016 consignment, and nothing since suggests he let it go.
Gmund coupes almost never change hands, so this is our estimate based on the few that have sold privately and at auction, which points to about $1.8 million.
6. 1990 Porsche 962C: about $2 million
The 962 was the car that won Le Mans and kept winning for years, and the “C” version was built for the European Group C series. Seinfeld’s example sold for $1,650,000 at Amelia Island, a fair price at the time for a car you need a team of mechanics to start.
Group C prototypes have risen with the vintage endurance racing scene, which pulls our figure up to about $2 million.
5. 1974 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.0 IROC RSR: about $2.5 million
The International Race of Champions put the world’s best drivers in identical cars, and for the first season those cars were Porsche RSRs. Seinfeld’s was the car Peter Revson drove in the series, and it beat its estimate easily in 2016, selling for $2,310,000 against a pre-sale guide of $1.2 million to $1.5 million.
Starting from that hammer price and the strength of RSR sales since, we put it at about $2.5 million.
4. 1959 Porsche 718 RSK: about $3 million
The RSK was the 550 Spyder’s sharper successor, a tiny mid-engine racer that embarrassed far bigger cars at Le Mans and in hill climbs. Seinfeld’s sold for $2,860,000 in 2016.
Recent RSK sales hover around $3 million, which is where we landed.
3. 1973 Porsche 917/30 Can-Am Spyder: about $3.5 million
The 917/30 is the most extreme car on the list by a distance. Built for the 1973 Can-Am series, its turbocharged flat-12 made over 1,100 horsepower in race trim, and it was so dominant that the rules were changed to get rid of it. Seinfeld owned one of the few built, and it sold at Amelia Island for $3 million.
The 2016 price is the anchor, and we added a modest premium for the way top-tier racing Porsches have held their value since.
2. 1955 Porsche 550 Spyder: about $5.5 million
The 550 Spyder is the car Seinfeld fans had heard about for years, and it led the 2016 sale. It is the same model James Dean made famous: a small aluminium roadster with a four-cam engine, built for racing and barely civilised on the road.
Seinfeld said before the auction that he had never bought a car as an investment and that it was time to send some of them back into the world for someone else to enjoy. The Spyder went for $5,335,000, the top Seinfeld lot of the night.
Recent 550 Spyder sales sit between about $4.5 million and $6 million, and a famous former owner nudges this one toward the top; our number is $5.5 million.
1. 1969 Porsche 917K, chassis 022: about $25 million
This is the car from the 1971 Steve McQueen film Le Mans, one of the Gulf-liveried 917Ks that made Porsche a legend at the 24-hour race. Seinfeld bought chassis 022 in 2001 and kept it for almost a quarter of a century, the longest-running star of his garage.
He offered it at Mecum’s Kissimmee sale in January 2025. Bidding reached $25 million and stopped short of his reserve, so the car went home unsold. Weeks later he said he had sold it privately, without naming the buyer or the price, beyond placing it in the $25 million range.
No exact figure has been disclosed, so we use the $25 million mark that the auction bidding and his own comments point to. Even at that level, it is the most valuable car Seinfeld has ever owned by a wide margin.
Reported, not confirmed
- Porsche 918 Spyder: mentioned in coverage of his collection from 2016, without a delivery date or other details.
- Three Porsche 356 As shown to Jay Leno: seen in a video at his garage, but the exact models are not public.
- Large lists of 40 to 150 cars: online lists of his full garage repeat each other and rarely give years or details we could check.
How he collects
- Porsche is the whole story. Every car we could document carries the crest, from a hand-built 1949 coupe to a 1,100-horsepower Can-Am racer.
- He keeps road cars and sells race cars. The 2016 sale was heavy on track machinery that needs a crew, and the 917K followed in 2025. What stayed behind are cars he can drive to coffee.
- The show is the collection’s day job. His own cars turn up regularly on Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, which is about the best excuse any collector has found to drive the good stuff.
- He sells at the right moment. The 2016 auction caught the peak of the classic Porsche boom, and most of those cars are worth only a little more today. The 917K went at the very top of the market.

How we valued the collection
We counted only cars the owner is documented to own or have owned, through their own interviews and posts, auction records, and consistent public reporting. Each value is our estimate of what that car is worth today, based on disclosed purchase prices, recent auction results for the same model, and list prices adjusted for depreciation or collector demand, all compiled in an internal valuation model. The total is our estimate, not an appraisal, and figures change as cars are bought, sold and revalued.
