30 Celebrities With Elite Classic Sports Cars

27: Jerry Seinfeld – 1949 Porsche 356/2 GmÃ¼nd

Seinfeld is almost as prolific of a car collector as Jay Leno is, and in fact, the two have a bustling friendship. Seinfeld is known to hit most of the elite Porsche auctions around the country. His collection is quite unique, to say the least. The Porsche 356/2 GmÃ¼nd had some unique attributes to it, which separates it from the rest of the sports cars from this era. The car was hand-built by a very specific team of individuals. It was not a car designed for the faint at heart.

The 1949 Porsche 356/2 GmÃ¼nd is an iconic piece of German engineering, not because of the Porsche label but because of the design. Few cars have managed to captivate the automotive industry quite like the 1949 Porsche 356/2 GmÃ¼nd did back in the day. Seinfeld has great taste in cars and the 1949 Porsche 356/2 GmÃ¼nd is one such model.

26: Nicole Scherzinger – Bentley GTC

Few female music acts have captivated audiences as much as the Pussycat Dolls did during the band’s heydey. Scherzinger was the lead singer and then she went on to have a popular single career as well. With many duets featuring well-known artists, Scherzinger has made a fair bit of change in her career. The Bentley GTC is a sports car that still offers the creature comforts that you’d expect in a vehicle of this caliber.

With a powerful engine under the hood, the Bentley handles business on the track. In addition to that, the GTC has a fair bit of luxury features that you wouldn’t expect in a car of this caliber. Scherzinger has good taste in vehicles and her choice in the Bentley GTC has been mimicked by many different musicians.

25: Jay Leno’s Classic C-10 Restomod

Leno has probably the most impressive car collection in the country. His car collection went from a personal hobby to a popular TV show and museum. If you’ve had the chance to watch Jay Leno’s Garage, then you know about the C-10. From the lowered suspension to the tuned LS-series motor, the C-10 is far from stock.

But in similar Leno fashion, the C-10 is about as inconspicuous as you can get. The lowly design and factory paint color will fool any onlooker. Once Leno stomps on that throttle, you know this C-10 is anything but your average Chevy.

24: Jerry Seinfeld – Porsche 718

If you watched Seinfeld, you’ll know Jerry had a thing for Saabs. In real life, the comedian leans more toward Porsches. The Porsche 718 is one of his favorites. This was one of the original race car Porches and still runs a decent quarter mile to this day. The 718 that Jerry has is pretty much stock.

The comedian got in trouble for selling a counterfeit Porsche model a few years back. Since then, his team has focused on finding authentic originals. Seinfeld has one of the most impressive Porsche collections in the country. But the 718 is perhaps the model that stands out the most.

23: Tim Allen – 1996 Impala SS

Allen has an excellent car collection. Being from Michigan, his collection pretty much centers around Detroit-made automobiles. The car that has garnered the most attention for him over the years is his 1996 Impala SS. The SS is an iconic car.

The simplistic joy of throwing the SS down straightaway is something that brings a smile to many. Tim Allen has a custom-built Impala SS. There’s nothing factory about this model, down to the ’90s-esque racing wheels. Allen also put a manual transmission into his Impala SS, which was not a factory option.

1968 Ford Mustang — via: Top Classic Cars For Sale

22: Nicolas Cage – 1968 Mustang

When Nicholas Cage shot the movie “Gone In Sixty Seconds,” the actor already loved cars. But the one that caught his attention the most from the film was the infamous Mustang. The original generation of the Mustang is still one of the most popular cars on the road. Cage likes to keep his things in the original condition.

Thus, most of the cars that are in his collection are bone stock. The 1968 Mustang holds a lot of value in the muscle car community. The classic “Eleanor” from the movie was actually auctioned off last year. If it were not for the Mustang, the Pony car market wouldn’t have been created. The Mustang carved out a segment that buyers weren’t even looking for at that time.

21: Aaron Paul – 1965 Shelby Cobra

Aaron Paul had an evident love for cars when he starred in ‘Breaking Bad.’ The actor was seen driving a custom 1983 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Lowrider. This car becomes an iconic piece of the show, almost as iconic as Walter White’s Pontiac Aztek. But in real life, the actor owns a 1965 Shelby Cobra. The Cobra is perhaps one of the most unorthodox cars on the road.

It’s a roadster, and probably not the car that you want to pick up the kids from soccer practice in. But the Shelby is amazingly fun to drive. A powerful V8 engine is crammed into an exceptionally small and lightweight package. For most drivers, the Shelby is a dream car. Paul was lucky enough to make this dream a reality.

20: Dr. Dre’s Ferrari Testarossa

Not only has Dr. Dre. owned his Ferrari Testarossa since it was new, but the famous producer also managed to catch a DUI and Eluding arrest in this car. The ‘doctor’ has come a long way since then. The Testarossa is perhaps the most recognizable Ferrari model of the last three decades.

The iconic design was prominent in video games as well as print publications. To this day the value of a Testarossa is astronomical. If you can get your hands on an original model you’ll be in for something special. The Testarossa is a modern engineering marvel.

19: Trick Daddy’s Chevrolet Impala Donk

While this car is not necessarily a sports car, the modifications let this Impala hang with the best of them. Trick Daddy has owned his Impala Donk for almost 20 years. The car has been featured in music videos, parades, and even a hit reality TV show.

This Impala Donk has a custom-built 350-V8 that propels the land yacht with authority. To add to the appeal of the car, there’s also a custom alligator interior. The rims are as chrome as you can get, and there is also some nice Perrelli rubber slapped onto it.

18: Plies 68′ Pontiac

Another popular rapper from the Florida area has an obsession with muscle cars as well. Rapper Plies has spent hundreds of thousands on his 1968 Pontiac GTO. The car has a custom candy paint job in addition to an all-original interior. Where the car stands out is the performance under the hood.

The GM LS crate motor is capable of producing a monstrous amount of power to the wheels. Naturally, Plies has a big set of rims on the car, but even with those, this thing can still move. With Pontiac discontinued a few years ago, any Pontiac model is going to go up in value. The GTO is not only one of the most valuable sports cars on the road but also one of the most iconic.

17: Chris Evans – Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder

There are many unique sports cars on the road right now. But how often do you find one owned by Steve McQueen? Well, Evans managed to find a Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder once owned by the legend himself. The car itself is a rarity on the road, but to have such a celebrity owner is even better.

The 250 GT is lightweight and performs like almost no other Ferrari created. The Ferrari brand still markets some sort of California Spyder to this day, with the 250 GT being one of the original models to bear that moniker. Evans has left most of the car in its factory condition. And unlike most collectors, he drives the thing.

16: Rowan Atkinson – Aston Martin DB2

Known across the world as “Mr. Bean,” Rowan Atkinson owns some of the most exclusive sports cars in the world. One of his favorites is the DB2. Aston Martin is a company that specializes in creating a real driver’s car. The DB2 is no exception to this rule, and if you’ve ever had the privilege of driving one, you’re in for a treat.

This particular DB2 is a pristine example of someone who takes pride in his car. Seen fairly often in the driver’s seat, Rowan makes no exceptions about driving the DB2. From the factory, the DB2 is one of the most pleasurable sports cars on the road. It’s no surprise that a star like Atkinson would go for one.

15: Drake Bell – 1966 Ford Mustang

Popular teen actor and musician Bell has often been spotted in his 1966 Ford Mustang. The car is a one-of-a-kind offering, to say the least. Bell has totaled a couple of Mustangs from the same model year. He’s often stated that he enjoys driving fast, and he proves it. The heart-pounding feeling of driving a classic Mustang is enough to get anyone in trouble.

Bell is just one of the many young actors and musicians who’ve chosen the Mustang. The 1966 model in particular is a piece of pony car history. While the prices are not as high as a comparable Camaro, the Mustang is still a classic.

14: Kendall Jenner – Ford Mustang

Even a member of the Kardashians owns a classic Mustang. While Kendall’s isn’t as tricked out as some you might see, the socialite went for a more reserved look. It’s no surprise considering her father Bruce Jenner was known as sort of a gearhead himself. The Jenner Mustang is a classic example of what made the pony car great.

The timeless design has made the Mustang stand out for decades. This Mustang in particular has some aftermarket pieces such as a custom exhaust system. There’s also a custom interior that features many different inserts. Overall, Jenner’s Mustang is another timeless example of the American pony car.

13: George Clooney – Chevrolet Corvette

The pristine Chevrolet Corvette Clooney can be seen driving from time to time as a first-generation model. The red and white Corvette was the car that introduced America to the roadster. Clooney’s model doesn’t seem to have any aftermarket modifications, which would fit in with the star’s image of enjoying the finer things in life.

The Corvette is a standout car for several reasons. It’s the longest-running American nameplate next to the Suburban. With everything that Chevy has done with the Corvette over the years, it’s only fitting in Clooney’s garage.

12: Dolph Lundgren’s Cobra Replica

Famous for starring in the Rocky Franchise, Lundgren is known for his physique. The Cobra Replica which he owns is one of many that are on the market. This particular model features rally-inspired wheels. The Cobra is known for being a tight squeeze, and Dolph is pretty cramped in this thing. The performance of the Cobra is what makes it special.

This roadster was one of Carroll Shelby’s pet projects and the team put a good deal of effort into the design. While Cobra Replicas aren’t the real thing, these kit cars are as close as you’ll get. Oftentimes the Replicas will have a better motor and custom features. There’s no denying Lundgren enjoys driving his Cobra Replica very much, and for good reason.

11: Lady Gaga’s Chevrolet El Camino

It should come as no surprise that a musician as flamboyant as Lady Gaga has a car like the El Camino. The El Camino is one of the most unique cars ever made. It’s a muscle car and truck all combined in one. There have been vehicles that have tried to replicate the El Camino, but they were never successful. The El Camino is a unique vehicle to this day and values have skyrocketed.

The example Lady Gaga owns is actually fairly stock. The black paint is gloss black with no special graphics. A pair of alloy Rallye wheels dress the rest of the car. Overall, this is a very understated and prime example of an El Camino.

10: Robert Downey Jr’s Chevrolet Corvette

Ever since the hit movie ‘Iron Man,’ Robert Downey Jr. has been in the spotlight like never before. The drop-top C2 Corvette he’s been seen driving is an all-original. This body style of the Corvette is one of the most highly coveted. Interesting features about this car include the all-original interior and factory jet black paint job.

It doesn’t appear the star has done anything out of the ordinary to this Corvette. You’d be hard-pressed to find a cleaner C2 Corvette than this one. Collectors come from far and wide to find a model that looks and runs this immaculate. The value of these Corvette models is only going to continue to rise.

9: Justin Timberlake’s Pontiac GTO

Timberlake has a collection of top-notch muscle cars and exotics. His GTO is in a well-kept condition with a factory paint color and stock Rallye wheels. Timberlake grew up in the music business and has always maintained a love for classic cars. The Pontiac GTO is credited with starting the muscle car craze during the ’60s.

Pontiac essentially created the muscle car business with the birth of the GTO. Values on them have continued to rise. Finding a complete factory GTO might not be an easy task, but once you find one, you’ll be in love.

8: Eric Bana – 1970s Ford Falcon XB

Bana is a well-known actor from Australia. Something many don’t know is that Bana also has a soft spot for classic sports cars, particularly the Ford Falcon XB. The Falcon in general was not designed to be a sports car. But over the years, enthusiasts have managed to transform this mundane coupe into something special.

To his credit, Bana has kept most of the car in pristine factory condition. Perhaps one of the most obvious letdowns when it comes to a classic car is ruining the original condition. The Falcon XB is a fun-to-drive car that really doesn’t get the attention it deserves.

7: Adam Levine – Ferrari 365 GTC

Maroon 5 is one of the best-known musical groups of the last few decades, and with that success comes financial fortunes. Lead singer Adam Levine has spent his money on classic sports cars instead of new vehicles. The Ferrari 365 GTC prominently showcased on his Instagram page is just one. Known for its low-profile design, the Ferrari 365 GTC is a stellar sports car.

Levine also owns a pristine Porsche 356, which itself is another stellar sports car. Classic German sports cars are some of the most satisfying to drive. But back to the Ferrari. The 365 is the epiphany of what most modern Ferraris want to be.

6: Brody Jenner – Dodge Charger R/T

The Kardashian clan is known for opulence and exotic cars. But one member of the family actually chose a different approach. Brody Jenner chose to drive a Dodge Charger R/T. And we’re not talking about the modern model, we’re talking about the classic. Jenner has a blacked-out version with aftermarket wheels on it.

Of course, there are also modifications under the hood. But, for the most part, this Charger is completely stock. It’s nice to see a celebrity who has an abundance of wealth still covet the simple things. The Dodge Charger R/T is an often understated muscle car. Even with the popularity of rival models, the Charger R/T is a great choice.

5: George Foreman – Ford GT40

Foreman has made millions as a boxing champion and grill salesman. The legendary boxer also has an impressive collection of cars. He’s got everything from a classic Volkswagen Beetle to his prized Ford GT40. The GT was an entirely new car for Ford designed to replicate the legendary GT40 racecar.

Foreman has kept his GT completely factory, and the car barely has any mileage on it. When you have money like Foreman, you can splurge on things like the GT40. The sports car is an impressive mixture of American ingenuity and design. There were very few of these put into production during its limited run.

4: Floyd Mayweather – Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita

There’s no denying Mayweather likes to flaunt his wealth. One of the most common examples of this was when the legendary boxer purchased a Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita. Not only is this one of the rarest sports cars in the world, it’s also the fastest. The Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita is an engineering marvel. And the best part is that it’s actually street-legal as well, so you could theoretically drive it to the grocery store.

The Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita is one of the most unique sports cars to hit the market. With an impressive amount of horsepower and a handbuilt design, the CCXR is a blast to drive. The CCXR is one of the most unique new sports cars on the market.

3: Xzibit – Lamborghini Gallardo

When you think of rappers who love their cars, Xzibit is probably the first person who comes to mind. The rapper starred in the immensely popular show “Pimp My Ride” for a decade. The Gallardo in his collection is outfitted with a beautiful black and gold speckle paint job. Lamborghini has made a lot of strides in the last decade, and the Gallardo was at the forefront of it.

The sports car has one of the most powerful engines that you can get. Driving a Gallardo is an amazing experience to this day. The Gallardo in itself is a well-built sports car with an iconic look. This was perhaps one of the most defining sports cars in the last two decades. The timeless design still looks great to this day and garners a lot of attention.

2: Will.I.Am – Tesla Roadster

Not everyone on this list drives a V8-powered beast. Instead, Will.I.Am went for the conservative route. The musician and producer were one of the first owners of the original Tesla roadster. The Tesla Roadster broke new ground because it was fun to drive with a decent range. While most electric cars had a tarnished reputation at this point, the Tesla Roadster was completely new.

Electric cars have come a long way since the Tesla Roadster was launched. The car had a lot of innovative features that led to the wave of electric cars. Surprisingly enough, the Tesla Roadster is still around. There is quite a following for these little roadsters that have kept their value up.
