8 Of The Coolest Porsches Jerry Seinfeld Has (Or Had) In His Collection – SlashGear

1964 is the year Porsche began its run of one of the longest production nameplates in the auto industry, the 911. Through the years, much has changed and much has been improved on Porsche’s flagship sports car, but it has also remained true to its roots. Even in 2022, the same basic silhouette of the body remains as well as the small displacement engine hanging out behind the rear wheels churning out a significant amount of power, propelling 911 cars to incredible speeds and across finish lines all over the world. The Porsche 911 has become an icon.

Of course, Seinfeld owns a 911. He has many. But one of his more interesting models is not the fastest or most capable. It is among the first ever made. He owns a 1964 model with an interesting backstory. According to GQ, he acquired the car in 1996 and had it sent to the Porsche factory for a full restoration at a cost of $250,000. It is now in mint condition just as it was when it was built for Ferry Porsche, who ordered it with leather seats, metallic paint, and a sunroof. It is also said by GQ that this was the first 911 ever imported to the United States, but corroborating that information is difficult as other sources point back to GQ. Regardless, it is a pristine example of a beautiful car that started the tale of one of the finest machines to ever leave Germany.
