1931 Duesenberg Model J

There are only five units of the 1931 Duesenberg Model J in existence right now. Jay Leno owns one of them! He has the Town Car version and was thrilled about it since he has always liked Duesenberg cars. He bought it without the exterior body and decided to leave it the way it was. That explains why the inner workings and the engine are both exposed. He has always been a fan of the carmaker’s creations, which is the reason he decided to leave the interior on display. This model was in production from 1928 to 1937. The models were all custom-built to suit the particular owner! This car was once valued at $8,500, but it currently goes for anywhere from $700,000 to $1 million. Whoa.

1970 Dodge Challenger R/T

In the past, Jay Leno has called the 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T one of his favorite muscle cars ever. He got it in 2008, around the same time that Craig Jackson got his. They picked the vehicles up at the same store. The talk show host installed an automatic one to replace the four-speed manual transmission but left the muscle car untouched otherwise. This model had been in production from 1970 to 1974. It has a quarter-mile time of 14.1 seconds and a top speed of 146 mph. It weighs more than 3,800 lbs and has a 110-inch wheelbase. Its current value ranges from $450,000 to $650,000, but it was originally $4,900.
