The Carrera GT is famous for a lot of things. It spent years as the apex of Porsche’s performance pantheon, and was the only road-going P-car to ever house a V10 engine. It made over 600 horsepower, took a mere three and a half seconds to reach 60 mph, and its roof came off to let in more of that gorgeous engine note.

Jerry Seinfeld, similarly, is famous for quite a few things. He’s a comedian, he had that show about coffee, , and he had that other show that seemed to be about nothing at all. But while his car collection may , but it seems even automobiles .

Seinfeld bought , and put a mere 3,176 miles on it before selling the car in 2011. From there it moved off to the West Coast, spending its days in Washington before finally making its way down to San Diego for this sale. The listing has no reserve price, but bids have already hit $1.5 million. For that much, you’d think the selling dealer would knock off the $80 registration fee.

The includes a photo of Seinfeld’s original New York title for the car, as proof that he once owned it, and a copy will be provided to the buyer once it sells. One has to wonder, though, how much value Seinfeld’s name really adds to a car. He hasn’t exactly built a late-stage career out of auto enthusiasm the way Leno has, and each subsequent owner seems to muddy the car’s original connection to the comedian. But, as the original owner, at least he got to enjoy the car the way he prefers: Before it turned eighteen.

While the bitchin Camaro still lives, its cousin, the Pontiac Firebird has long been pushing up daisies. Today's off-roader f-bird would more likely tear up those daisies, but does it come with a price that's pushing it? Inoffensive universal appeal, that's what makes music by Kenny G, hand jobs, and...

The Mercury Grand Marquis may have put the aunt in the Panther platform, but today's three pedal special may just erase that octogenarian image. But, will its price make it old news? Turning Japanese by the eighties band, the Vapors, may seem a xenophobic screed, but really it's just about...

According to la biblia, it took but a simple apple to get Adam and his girlfriend evicted from their garden apartment. Today's Group B Ford is a far, far more desirable forbidden fruit, but will you find its price is rotten to the core? Speaking of the bible - for...

As illustrated in The Prince and the Pauper there's a yawning chasm of difference between royalty and commoner. Today's 350-powered Bertone Volvo 262C attempts to bridge that gap, but does its price make it a royal pain? The French, when faced with new dietary guidelines from their royalty, knew just...

Citroën's 2CV is so basic and elemental, it's hard to imagine it could be deconstructed any further. Today's Mehari does just that, being little more than a plastic dog dish on wheels, but will its price bowl you over? Not plastic, but instead all kinds of heavy metal was yesterday's...
