Jay Leno's Car Collection

Although Jay Leno is most famous for his interviewing and comedic skills, he is also an avid car enthusiast. According to Forbes.com, Leno has more than 50 sports and antique cars, spread out among three large garages, in addition to as many motorcycles. Not only does he like collecting cars, but he also takes pleasure in restoring antique automobiles to their original luster. In fact, he makes it a point not to own any modern cars, which makes his collection that much more impressive.

Possibly the most notable aspect of Jay Leno's cars is that he doesn't just display them in a show room, as though they were fit for a museum. His garages are fully functional, and he takes pride in driving each of his cars on a regular basis, alternating between them on any given day. He also enjoys taking his various motorcycles out for a spin around Burbank, and he's paraded his vehicles for many publicity photos and charitable organizations.

In fact, Jay Leno managed to get $360,000 for one Harley-Davidson motorcycle in 2001, in an effort to raise money for the 9/11 victims. The bike was signed by various celebrities, and did so well that he repeated this charitable act in 2004 for the Indian Ocean Earthquake victims (raising over $800,000), and again in 2004 for the Hurricane Katrina survivors (raising more than $1 million). No car is too expensive for Leno, and no vehicle is out of reach, except for cars he considers unworthy, such as Model Ts and modern vehicles.

One of Jay Leno's most treasured cars is the 21-foot Blastolene Special, which he purchased from the Blastolene brothers in 2004. The 810-horsepower roadster was included in Gran Turismo 4, a PS2 racing game released in 2005, and was featured on an episode of Leno's show when interviewing Arnold Schwarzenegger. The car is worth more than $300,000, though it likely cost much less when Leno purchased it, and he has called it is "Terminator Car".
