Jerry Seinfeld Auctioning Vintage Porsches, Worth Estimated $10 Million
Got a spare $10 million? Comedian and car lover Jerry Seinfeld is saying goodbye to a few of his vintage Porsches in an auction this spring -- so far, three vehicles have been confirmed for sale.
According to car aficionado website Motor Authority, the Seinfeld star will auction off undisclosed number of cars at the 2016 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance Gooding & Co. in March.
It's thought Seinfeld will auction about 10 percent of his collection, though the only three that have been announced are a blue 1955 550 Spyder, a green 1958 356 A 1500 GS/GT Carrera Speedster and a yellow 1974 911 Carrera 3.0 IROC RSR.
CNBC reports that the most appealing car for collectors is the Spyder, which alone is estimated to be worth between $5 million and $6 million.
The Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee host certainly isn't hurting for money; he just wants other people to enjoy them now.
"I've never bought a car as an investment," Seinfeld said in a statement. "I don't really even think of myself as a collector. I just love cars. And I still love these cars. But it's time to send some of them back into the world for someone else to enjoy, as I have."
Together, the three cars are valued at $10 million; their time in Seinfeld's collection will no doubt add to their value when they do go on the block. Seinfeld may have predicted this on his show: George Costanza bought "Jon Voight's car" back in 1994.
