1966 427 Ford AC Cobra

The 1966 427 Ford AC Cobra is here to join his Cobra collection! Jay Leno paid only $6,000 for this Cobra in 1963. According to him, it had been a “Pretty-Woman-esque” shopping experience. In 2016, he showed off this beauty on Jay Leno’s Garage. It comes with a 427 cc 7-L engine. The talk show host once offered to go up against a Tesla in this car, but this has yet to actually happen! Originally worth $6,000, this car is now worth about $2 million. This specific model was released as the result of a partnership between American and British sports car designers. It was in production for no more than two years.

1966 Oldsmobile Tornado

Jay Leno keeps his car collection of more than a hundred vehicles in Big Dog Garage. One of his prized possessions is the 1966 Oldsmobile Tornado, which he has since customized. When it first came out, this was considered to be a pretty advanced model. After all, it was the first car model to be equipped with a front-wheel drive and go into mass production. Jay Leno gave it a new engine in the form of a twin-turbo Corvette one so that it can put out 1,055 hp. Aside from that, he also added a powerful transmission from the Corvette C5 to handle its new power. Once worth $3,688, it now has a value of $19,000.
