This impressive machine weighs a whopping 13 tons and was built in the early 1900s. They were created to turn the soil, along with doing planting, harvesting, hauling, and more. The vehicle was restored by Leno’s friend, Orman Rawlings, who appeared in Jay’s garage to show it off.
It may only travel at speeds up to four miles an hour, but considering it can pull more than 50,000 pounds, it doesn’t need to be incredibly fast. The engine is over nine-feet tall and 24 feet long, and it takes between 250-350 gallons of water to power up.
2017 Ford GT
Ford’s GT supercars were pretty exclusive – and expensive, especially when they first came out, with a price tag of nearly $500,000, and an impressive top speed of over 215 mph. But of course, supercar fan Jay Leno had to be one of the lucky few to purchase them.
Leno had his custom-designed with an array of extra features, including the 400A package, which tacked on $25,000 to the manufacturer’s price, along with $15,000, 20” exposed carbon fiber wheels, and more. Hey, if you’ve got it, spend it, right?
427 Shelby Cobra
Actor Matt Damon showed up at Jay Leno’s garage/playhouse last year to hang out, talk cars, and pose for some photos. Some such images included some with the 427 Shelby Cobra.
The photos were in anticipation of Ford V Ferrari, but there’s still no denying that the Cobra is a cool car. The original Cobra was only produced over two years, from 1965-1967, and in that time, there were less than 350 ever made. The last 427 Super Snake recently sold for over $5 million.
1909 Baker Electric
This impressive 1909 vehicle was one of the first electric cars in existence. It’s been referenced as traveling “back to the future,” as it dates back to more than 100 years ago. It was initially marketed to women since it didn’t need cranking, and it didn’t smell like gasoline, plus, it required little maintenance.
Leno has said that he believes the future of automobiles lies in something that hasn’t yet been discovered. Though electricity is a nice alternative, as he puts it, “the problem is, where do you get it?” Of course, there’s always solar power…
1954 Jaguar XK120M
Though the comedian owns more cars than most people could ever even dream about (literally,) his heartbeats particularly hard for a few – the Jaguar XK120 included. He first saw one of the cars when he was just nine-years-old and fell in love with it from that moment on.
The cars were built from 1948-1954, and Leno worked to buy his in the 1980s when he first started making the money he needed to do so. It was the first collector car he added to his 136-car collection. It’s no wonder it’s so special to him!
