1961 Chrysler 300G

Jay Leno is the proud owner of a 1961 Chrysler 300G. Only 1,280 units were ever made. Virgil Exner designed the car, which ushered in the end of the automaker’s “Forward-Looking” era. According to him, it was the last stylish car from the company. He also called it a “plucked chicken” in the past. Leno has said that even though it is huge at 4,200 pounds and 19 feet long, it is lighter than the Dodge Hellcat! This car did not come with sufficient safety equipment, but it can pull out 375 hp at least. There is a 4.13-L engine under the hood. It used to be worth $5,400, but its current value is $164,500.

2008 Corvette C6RS By Pratt & Miller

The talk show host worked with designers from Pratt & Miller to build a C6RS that used E85 ethanol. This meant that it was going to be more eco-friendly compared to the average gas guzzler. The 2008 Corvette C6RS is essentially just a converted Z06. What makes it so special, however, would be what lies under the hood. It comes with a Katech Performance 8.2-L engine that can put out 600 hp, 600 lb-ft of torque and a max speed of 202 mph. There are only seven of them in existence. In 2007, Leno showed off his for the first time at the SEMA Show. It was first valued at 260,000 but now worth $330,000.
