1963 Chevrolet Corvair Rampside

We know that this 1963 Chevrolet Corvair Rampside looks cartoonish with its long bed and paint job. The pickup truck was novel since the cargo bed opened from the back and the side. This is not a feature that you will find in pickup trucks of today! The Rampside had a lot of problems as the Corvair. In fact, a car magazine said that it was a “stake to the heart” for the automaker. It did not become a hit among buyers, and Jay Leno only has it for its antique value. The pickup truck weighs 4,700 pounds and has the ability to tow up to 1,500 pounds. Originally sold for $2,136, it is now valued at $15,000.

1991 GMC Syclone

Jay Leno got his 1991 GMC Syclone as his daily driver in 1991. The talk show host used it that way for a couple of years after buying it brand-new. This model made history as the fastest-accelerating car in the United States when it was introduced! The pickup came with a 4.3-L V6 engine that he turbocharged. Even though there is nothing newsworthy about a pickup with a turbo-engine, it was very rare during the early ‘90s. The automaker had been a true pioneer when it comes to pickup truck technology. Even though Leno eventually had to retire it as his daily driver, he is still fond of it. He bought it for $18,700, but it has since devalued to $5,810.
