If you are in Monterey for Car Week come see me at the Premier Financial Booth at Concourso Italiano, the 408 Garage Booth at Exotics on Broadway, or the Lamborghini Club Serata Italiana tonight.
Have fun. If you see Ficarra, tell him he should make a video about the history of the martini 935. Would love to hear him on that. Only he could do it justice.
If you watch Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee where he drives his '73 Carrera with Seth Meyers. He calls it a "Dead guy car". He bought it from a dead guy, and it's not getting sold till he dies. Love it!
Love how John put the Gulf 917 book and the porsche '82 le mans poster in the background for this video. He clearly loved talking about these vintage porsche race cars.
85 M for a bunch of old porsches, what a nut. At least Jay Leno has a variety of cars. Meh it's his money, whatever makes him happy. You need to appraise the triple F collection Holesome guys, and they own every good modern car Ciao
@@rupersters eens. Stomme Amerikanen. Net als in de nieuwe Oppenheimer film, waar ze "Nederlands" praten wat gewoon Duits (of iets in die trant was) is haha
As someone who grew up in PCA and FCA (My grandmother is one of the ten oldest continuous PCA members and is the oldest continuous FCA member) i can tell you the word "Caretaker" is so much more appropriate than "Owner". A meticulous provenance of every Ferrari my grandparents owned is available online in under 20 seconds including competition history. Great video
Jerry sometimes brought cars to Rennwerke Porsche Technicians in Westchester County, he was always walking around like people should know he's special and should treat him like it. A total Jirck. Ruined the show for me after the way he talked to us.
The fact that he referenced the Targa Florio makes me happy. I love the history of the race. It’s fascinating! Also, it’s super fun to drive in Assetto Corsa!
The only reason Jerry Sinefeld made the comedians in cars getting coffee show was to write all of his car purchases off as business expenses. Edit: I'm not calling him a crook, I would do the same in his position and I already do. Even as a small business owner you do the same thing, just on a different scale.
100%. It's a borderline tax scam. He writes them off, then leases them from the "company" that holds them at a severe overcharge. He's borderline crooked.
Don't blame him, blame the career politicians that right the tax codes that allow people to do the things they do. You could do it too if you wanted to.
It’s weird to me that Jay owns 100 more cars than Jerry and they maintain the same gross value. Jerry seems to collect specific and very special where Jay collects very broadly. I prefer Jay’s style, personally.
964 RSR are the top Porches of the new generation mainly because EA's Need for Speed Series. Usually the best car in the games. In the game befores this last one was the best car ever with the 3.8 engine swap to it
I can never tell if Ed is being cocky and bragging, or just has a load of passion. Either way id love to spend a day with him listening to his stories.
Mark lanza in 1970 had a 67s that was turned into a rsr by his friend in 72 that worked at Redondo beach Porsche... Like 400 horse black flares whale tale rollbars and black recaros ... Sat about an inch off the ground and sounded awesome.. marks dad was Mario lanza the singer actor and my neighbor in the Pacific Palisades and one of the original blocks that weren't lost in the current fire of LA..
I don't know if the numbers were taking into account Seinfeld provenance or just what it would take to buy each in today's market. Thanks for this, highly entertaining and I've been wondering about his collection contents since the 90s. And Shoshanna...but that's old tabloid gossip. Jerry certainly knows the classics! My mind reels when I ponder the value of a Jerry car to the world's future auto collectors. Knowing his love of the marque and motorsports + his ethics has me thinking he's a very selective seller of his treasured collectibles. If he even ever sells them. Another unknown. So thanks for the great episode. I just subbed and will be back. I've watched a couple before, but over a few years time. Continue to be impressed with the expert level knowledge and research. And great friendly dynamic between you two. 👍 Thanks again!
Seinfelds 356 restorators made a mistake do, Politzei is German, in Dutch it’s Politie, this 356 said Politie on the front and Rijkspolitie (Highways patrol) on the back, the 356 was later replaced with 911 Targa’s witch we raced with our E12 M535i and beat, good old 80’s. Think Dutch police stopped using Porsche’s early 90’s. The 356 where white and the 911 had red white police livery, they used cabrio’s and later targa’s so they could stand up in the car and manage traffic, someone found a good excuse to use Porsches
One thing I would like to add about Jerry, is that for someone who is so famous, he is also very humble and I love that about him. He also has one of the coolest collection of car’s. Great video guys and keep up the hard work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😊
Actually, my mother worked for him for 16+ years (accounting/legal office, until a year ago when she joined a different legal office as a partner) and he's well known for being extremely self absorbed. My mother has 9 years of college in a specialty degree, and he would talk to her like she was a maid that showed up late for work, and it was always hard on her or at least extremely disappointing, so much so that it shadowed the joy and pride of having someone famous/rich as a client. He thinks he is better than anyone else, and his wife is 5 times worse. His cars are all a tax write-off, with ownership held in a separate company, he's extremely cheap but the attitude was the part that was so disappointing, even to my mother who is an extremely well respected professional in her field (top 3 in NYC).
Ficarra is very knowledgable about the history of vehicles and is great to watch and listen to. This was much more enjoyable than appraisal videos that included the clown Temerian who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.
Most people don’t know this but there was a full need for speed game just about Porsches. Second car is the first car you drive if I remember correctly. It’s called need for speed Porsches unleashed
Awesome video! I have a distant memory of reading about the RSR - that it was so powerful it could lift the front wheels on a hard acceleration from dead stop. Wonder if there's any truth to that? And shouldn't you add that your totals are ONLY for what you've reviewed. Certainly he has more (a Carrera GT?, et. al.). Cheers!
Ive heard he has one of EVERY single porsche model ever made. He also has one the rarest porsches carerra speedster. Only mr porsche himself has one ive heard
I tend to kind of Agree with you guys with the slight difference I do feel that Jerry Seinfields ownership does raise the price well he is respected. In the PorscheWorld and it does appear not only does he pick the right Vehicles he has Assembled a great team to preserve his Collection and keep them in good shape I also think it’s Cool that he Certainly does what the Cars were intended to do and that’s Drive them and Enjoy them maybe not quite as much as Jay Leno does but Close ! BTW the 917 is going to be a Major Suprise there are still many Collectors around that know who Steve MQueen is and that’s going to help plus it being a actual Film Car
Love your videos Ed, I wish I had awesome stories of cleaning dirt and polishing paint. Maybe the best story I have is Detailing about 30 Rolls-Royce and Bentleys in one week.
What happened at Mecum a few weeks ago when that Porsche 917K was bid up to 25 million and suddenly disappeared off the block, never to be seen again. Something just plain sinks. What’s the “rest of the story ?”
I tried to find a video or article about Jerry's cars since he has such a large roster and keeps it mostly private. He must have some really profound pieces in his collection.
@VINwiki 4:57 the 993 has got to be 1995 or older when the 993's were introduced worldwide - given the fact that it doesn't have a basket-handle brake light (1995), I'd say that it's 96+
The 908 is my favorite all time Porsche. The story I heard was when it first went out for practice at the Targa Florio Porsche was accused of cheating somehow. It's also possibly one of the most dangerous Porsches ever.
I nailed all these valuations before you mentioned them!?! Which is awesome and sad... I am happy that these cars exist and are cared for. I would love to have the money to make this happen. Yes, he is a great comedian, told great jokes... living his awesome life. But I work as a nurse...

So much fun doing this one! Maybe, kinda my sweet spot. Looking forward to the next one Ed!
How do you not get Doug to fill in for John he’s like THE Porsche guru!
Then they’d have to pay him Doug is nothing but business lol
The Mexican Stig has no time for these sort of shenanigans
Doug like Doug Tabbutt
But my corvette is best corvette beat all porches
Doug said he isn't really a Porsche guy.. he just loves the Carrera GT
I could listen to John geek out on Porsche history for hours.
That hit on Singer was brutal 😂😂😂
If you watch Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee where he drives his '73 Carrera with Seth Meyers. He calls it a "Dead guy car". He bought it from a dead guy, and it's not getting sold till he dies. Love it!

What collection should we appraise next?
The most iconic five cars of each brand. Ur welcome.w..can I get a Tshirt?

Fun fact about the "Dutch" Police 356, on the back it says "Polizei" which is German police. In Dutch it would be "Politie"
Ik denk dat het ooit vervangen is er zijn foto's dat er rijkspolitie op staat.
Ik vind het ook aannemelijk dat het vervangen is, maar dat maakt het des te opmerkelijker dat het er nu in het Duits staat haha@@rupersters
@@ThijsDijkstra ja ik denk heel slecht onderzoek naar gedaan. Bij restauratie.

Where is the Saab 900 turbo?😂 When I saw that car in the show I knew Jerry has good taste.

He is. @@brianvincavage7626
Not surprised
The fact that he referenced the Targa Florio makes me happy. I love the history of the race. It’s fascinating! Also, it’s super fun to drive in Assetto Corsa!
If my cars & coffee didn’t include the 908/03, I wouldn’t do it. the car slaps in every way and deserves all the praises.
The porsche 356C SC is from the German police (Polizei) if it would be Dutch it would have been "Politie".
I think it changed in time. There are photos. With Rijkspolitie on it.
if it was english it would be “Police”!
Where would they put the criminal, looks like he'd be riding shotgun lol
That '73 RSR made my heart flutter. 😍 That's my dream car.
The Steve McQueen car losing its charm because of other older generation is negated by the car also being owned by Jerry Seinfeld.
The only reason Jerry Sinefeld made the comedians in cars getting coffee show was to write all of his car purchases off as business expenses.
Edit: I'm not calling him a crook, I would do the same in his position and I already do. Even as a small business owner you do the same thing, just on a different scale.

You'll act like writing a car off is making it a free purchase 😅
Don't blame him, blame the career politicians that right the tax codes that allow people to do the things they do. You could do it too if you wanted to.
@@mikeytee1it's not a scam if you're using the tax laws properly.

It’s a shame you haven’t gotten to Scottie Kilmer’s fine collection.
5 rusted out Toyota Camrys?
The 996 GT3 was already narrow body, Ed 👀👀👀
The 917, like the Ferrari 512S must have been a sight to behold on a track. Such beautiful cars

The 993 Mexico blue is documented to be the last 993 built by Porsche in early 1998.
please do one for Jean-Pierre Krämer from JPPerformance. He is the biggest german car-influencer and has an insane collection.
Don't care for Seinfeld's humor, but his taste in Porshe's is great. Stunning cars.
Yeah, he is not funny whatsoever, but his eye for cars is impeccable.
He is funny. Your sense of humor is just depressing. @@DMBVR4

Guys thanks for all the work and knowledge. And please take care this weekend and keep an eye on the storm while you’re at Monterey.
Seinfeld WILL be on your channel one day. We cannot wait to hear some of his stories.
To bad jerry Seinfeld is a hole in person and probably will never do the show
Love this series!! Would you consider doing Bruce Canepa????
Who else is here on a Saturday listening to the buttery voice of mr. ed?!

no mention of his original unrestored gmünd ? the best car by far in his collection IMO
Most people don’t know this but there was a full need for speed game just about Porsches. Second car is the first car you drive if I remember correctly. It’s called need for speed Porsches unleashed
The VW was a Porsche Service vehicle. That's why Jerry bought it. I couldn't read the name.
I'm pretty sure the best Porsche collection has Porsche itself from visiting their museum last yera when I got my GT3.
Had no idea Seinfeld was a car nut as well as a sneaker head! Brilliant!
Awesome video! I have a distant memory of reading about the RSR - that it was so powerful it could lift the front wheels on a hard acceleration from dead stop. Wonder if there's any truth to that? And shouldn't you add that your totals are ONLY for what you've reviewed. Certainly he has more (a Carrera GT?, et. al.). Cheers!
The totals were for the whole collection, they were only going through a few of them in detail.
Ive heard he has one of EVERY single porsche model ever made. He also has one the rarest porsches carerra speedster. Only mr porsche himself has one ive heard
John was spot on the 917k just sold for 25 million at Mecum.
917 was at Mecum this year and bid to $25M with no sale. Maybe never intended to sell, just raise the value.
John was built to appraise this collection
I find it fascinating that such a prominent Jewish personality has amassed an extensive car collection from a company that had strong ties to Hitler.
This had to be Johns favorite appraisal so far
The Porsche shown from the front is German (or maybe Swiss or Austrian), as it says "polizei", Dutch would be "politie".
I have a 1980 931 turbo AKA the 924 turbo a true European authentic model and I love it it's my fourth child I've had it for twenty-two years 😁👍♥️

Jerrys good taste in cars has multiplied his net worth.
The 356 Polizei Car is German not Dutch. It still has the Stuttgart license plate on the front.
The 917 just sold for 25mil. Spot on
did not sell.
RIP comedians in cars. I loved it!
JerrySeinfeld's all-Porsche car collection is equivalent to making out during Schindler's List.
That type 2 is my favorite episode of the series with Michael Richards
I haven't enjoyed a vinwiki video this much for a long time. 😃 Of course I'm in love with Porsche!!!!! 😊
Anyone else see the irony in the fact that a Jewish guy’s favorite thing is an object created by someone that served in the SS?
Should have added the typical Seinfeld laugh track in the most inappropriate places.
Jerry should do what Jay Leno does on RUclips. Would be another great channel to watch
He's not down to earth enough for that. He drives the cars because it's fun for him and that's all he cares about.
@mikeytee1 figured, would be cool though
Best description of the movie, LeMans. So true. Lousy script but great visuals and audio.
What happened at Mecum a few weeks ago when that Porsche 917K was bid up to 25 million and suddenly disappeared off the block, never to be seen again.
Something just plain sinks.
What’s the “rest of the story ?”
Ed just rolling over on all the values 😂 like have your own opinion
John really loves the Porsches
I wish you coulda grabbed Doug for to fill in for John this vid, the Porsche Expert, the Corvette Curmudgeon, hes the man for the job 👍
Ed. Where do you shop? You always have the classiest shirts.
I tried to find a video or article about Jerry's cars since he has such a large roster and keeps it mostly private. He must have some really profound pieces in his collection.
The 911 with the Brumos livery is iconic.
The 964 was the last Porsche you had to drive. No launch control and a manual 🏁🏁🏁
He also has a 2023 blue Chevy Zr2 blown lt4 pickup.
Do an appraisal of david lee’s collection
“Maybe we’ll see Jerry with manual lambos in his garage someday” lol
Wow. Maybe I haven’t watched Vinwiki in a little bit but, John looks great!
No 911 R? that's probably one of the rarest 911 of all..
Polizei is German, so it's not a Dutch police Porsche. Those have different liveries.
Could also be swiss or Austrian, they also speak German (I honestly don't know if they ever had Porsche police cars though)
Het was een rijkspolitie auto maar ze hebben de stickers veranderd. Er zijn foto's van deze porsche met rijkspolitie
@VINwiki 4:57 the 993 has got to be 1995 or older when the 993's were introduced worldwide - given the fact that it doesn't have a basket-handle brake light (1995), I'd say that it's 96+
Hey guys he also owns the first 911 ever made he show it off to Jay Leno in his episode of cars and coffee
A very similar car with the same Steve McQueen pedigree (winning car in "LeMans") failed to sell at 2021 Monterey at 16-18.5 million.
Dutch police car With polizei on the back? 😂
Jerry was dating a 17 year old when he was 39 what a guy
A seventeen year old what ??
He doesn't think any rules apply to him.
You guys are missing his 991 speedster chassis #356. I have photos of It at Porsche south Hampton service a few months ago.
Is there a Jerry Seinfeld premium because he's the owner when evaluating his collection?
Of course there is.
Should have had a celebrity guest appearance like Doug or Tyler
No mention of the Gmund?
The way your shirt was sitting I could have sworn you had a macaroni necklace on.
Great commentary on the collection
The 908 is my favorite all time Porsche. The story I heard was when it first went out for practice at the Targa Florio Porsche was accused of cheating somehow. It's also possibly one of the most dangerous Porsches ever.
its such a beautiful car and the different liveries match the 908 so well its truly an underrated car
@@Rostmeo1It's beautiful without the skin too. The driver's feet are in front of the wheel. The balls on the drivers driving it at speed .. oof.
I nailed all these valuations before you mentioned them!?! Which is awesome and sad...
I am happy that these cars exist and are cared for. I would love to have the money to make this happen.

if the 356 is a Dutch car, the sticker on the back is wrong.
It says; Polizei, which is German for police.
In Dutch it would,ve said: Politie
