2001 Chrysler Tank Car

There is only one Tank Car on the planet right now, and it happens to belong to Jay Leno. Also known as the “Blastolene Special,” the Chrysler Tank Car is a unique vehicle. An American craftsman by the name of Randy Grubb designed it in 2001. Jay Leno takes it out for a ride and brings it to Cars and Coffee events on the regular! It can put out 1,600 hp since it is equipped with a military tank engine. The body is made of aluminum and custom-made. After buying the car, Jay Leno made sure to upgrade it by giving it rear brakes, an updated electric system, a new automatic gearbox, and better mileage. It used to have 2.5 mpg, but it can now go up to 5 mpg. The original price was $125,500, but it is now worth $350,000.

1963 Jaguar E-Type Coupe

When it comes to coupes, Jay Leno prefers the form of his 1963 Jaguar E-Type over the convertible one. He took this vehicle out for a spin on Jay Leno’s Garage. It was only owned by one other person before him since the talk show host bought it straight from the original owner. The car is still equipped with the 3.8-L straight-six engine that it came with. This sleek car is among the best-kept E-Type Coupes out there since Leno rarely brings it outside his neighborhood. It was painted to look like the ‘60s British racing cars. This car used to be on the market for $5,494 but is currently worth $181,693.
