Comedian Jerry Seinfeld to auction Porsche collection at Amelia Island

If shows such as MTV Cribs are to be believed, the garages of the rich and famous can be rather predictable places: A Range Rover, a new Mercedes SL, a recent Ferrari or Lamborghini (or both), a black Audi R8…

Comedian Jerry Seinfeld’s garage is rather different, as evidenced by the small selection of his collection going up for sale with Gooding & Company at the upcoming Amelia Island Concours auction.

Best known for his eponymous long-running sitcom, Seinfeld is auctioning off sixteen classic Porsches, as well as two vintage Volkswagens.

The collection includes such rarities as a 1955 Porsche 550 Spyder, and a 1959 718 RSK – from which the new four-cylinder 718 Boxster and Cayman take their name.

There’s a selection of old 356s and 911s, an exceedingly rare 597 Jagdwagen – an old military vehicle that looks more like a Volkswagen Kubelwagen – and a uniquely-styled 1994 964 Turbo 3.6 S Flachbau – a flat-nosed 911, albeit one that retains the typical round headlights of the 964 rather than popups like older flat-nosed 911s.

Several race cars will be sold too, including a glorious 917/30 Can-Am Spyder, a 1990 962C, and a 1997 993 Cup 3.8 RSR.

Unfortunately, Gooding & Company hasn’t listed estimates for the model, but their status, rarity and the allure of a respected celebrity owner are sure to add a sheen to each vehicle.

It also makes you wonder what else Seinfeld has stashed away in his garage, as the 18 models on sale are thought to be only a small percentage of his collection. Given it’s not included in the lot list, one of these is known to be an exceedingly rare 1949 Porsche 356/2 ‘Gmünd’ coupe – one of a handfull produced in the company’s early days in Austria, before its move to Germany.
