1953 Cunningham C3

This is not the first and only Cunningham car owned by Jay Leno. The other one is an older 1920 model. Despite this, the 1953 Cunningham C3 is still very rare since there are only 25 units ever built by Vignale. Under the hood, you will find Chrysler parts and a Hemi V-8 engine. Leno purchased this car as soon as it was restored, which means that it is one of the handful units in good condition. The designer was Briggs Cunningham, who came from a very wealthy family. Aside from sports and yachts, he was passionate about cars and decided to build supercars like this one. The car was originally worth anywhere from $8,000 to $11,000, but it now has a value of $550,000.

Blastolene Special Twin Turbo

The Blastolene Special Twin Turbo, also known as the “Tank Car,” was a design by master craftsman Randy Grubb. Jay Leno is lucky enough to own one of these rare cars! He likes to drive it around in public and usually shows it off at meet-and-greets and car shows. It is unique since it has a military tank engine. That aside, it also has a custom all-aluminum body. This car can put out 810 hp and 1,560 lb-ft of torque. Jay Leno added a lot of changes to the interior of the car and even added twin turbochargers from Gale Banks Engineering to its engine. Once worth $125,000, its value is now $350,000.
