The rarest cars featured on Jay Leno’s Garage are not all cars Jay Leno owns: the show also presents vehicles belonging to other people, and the available research does not confirm current ownership for every car on this list. This shortlist compares one-off builds, reconstructions, low-volume production cars, conversions, and reported survivors rather than claiming a definitive ranking.
How to read this list
“Rare” can refer to a unique build, a small production run, few reported survivors, or an unusual individual car. Those measures are not interchangeable, and the figures below are attributed to the publications or speaker identified in the research. A show appearance alone is not proof that Leno owns a vehicle.
| Car | What makes it unusual | Reported count or status | Ownership scope |
|---|---|---|---|
| EcoJet | One-off turbine-powered collaboration | One of a kind, according to Jalopnik | Associated with Jay Leno |
| 1931 Shotwell “Philbert the Puddle Jumper” | Handmade by its teenage builder | Individual handmade car | Donated to Leno, with a preservation condition, according to Jalopnik |
| 1931 Duesenberg Model J LaGrande Coupe | Reconstruction based on original plans | Jalopnik says two originals were built and neither survives | Featured on the show; do not call it an original survivor |
| Koenigsegg Trevita CCXR | Very limited production | Three built worldwide, according to Jalopnik | Featured on the show; ownership not established here |
| 1989 Ford Festiva Shogun | Festiva conversion with a mid-mounted Taurus SHO-derived V6 | Seven conversions completed, according to autoevolution | Another account reports one in Leno’s collection |
| 1927 Duesenberg Model X | Low-volume model with few reported survivors | 13 produced and five surviving, according to autoevolution | One reported in Leno’s collection |
| 1953 Cunningham C-3 | Low-volume American grand tourer | 25 road cars: five cabriolets and 20 coupes, according to autoevolution | One coupe reported in Leno’s garage |
| 1963 Chrysler Turbine Car | Experimental turbine-powered car | 55 built; nine reported surviving, according to autoevolution | One reported in Leno’s collection |
| 1913 Mercer Raceabout | Brass-era sporting car with a dated survivor estimate | Leno estimated perhaps 20 or 25 remained in a 2015 episode, as reported by Jalopnik | Photographed in the garage in the Los Angeles Times’ 2014 gallery |
| 1940 Lagonda V12 | Low-volume luxury model | 189 produced from 1938 to 1940, according to Jalopnik | Featured on the show; ownership not established here |
One-off and individually unusual cars
EcoJet
The EcoJet is a one-of-a-kind turbine-powered car associated with Jay Leno and a collaboration involving GM, Honeywell, Alcoa, and BASF, according to Jalopnik. The source identifies its engine as a Honeywell LT101 turbine. Its singular status makes it a different kind of rarity from a production car with a low build count.
1931 Shotwell “Philbert the Puddle Jumper”
Bob Shotwell handmade this car as a teenager. Jalopnik reports that Shotwell later donated it to Leno on the condition that Leno preserve it. Its story is about a distinctive individual build and its provenance, not a factory production run.

1931 Duesenberg Model J LaGrande Coupe
This car needs a careful distinction: Jalopnik reports that two original LaGrande Coupes were built and neither survives. Leno’s example was reconstructed from original plans, so it should not be described as one of the surviving original cars.
Low-volume production cars and conversions
Koenigsegg Trevita CCXR
Jalopnik reports that three Trevita CCXRs were built worldwide. The publication explains “Trevita” as Swedish for “Three White.” This is a scarce production model, but the research does not establish that Leno owns the example featured on the show.
1989 Ford Festiva Shogun
The Shogun was a modified Festiva with a mid-mounted V6 derived from the Ford Taurus SHO. autoevolution reports that seven conversions were completed, while another account says one belongs to Leno. That makes it a low-volume conversion rather than a factory-built limited edition.

1927 Duesenberg Model X
According to autoevolution, 13 Model X cars were produced from 1927 to 1928, and five are reported to survive. One is reported in Leno’s collection. These counts describe reported production and survivors; they do not make this a more precise rarity ranking than the other cars here.
1953 Cunningham C-3
autoevolution reports 25 Cunningham C-3 road cars: five cabriolets and 20 coupes. One coupe is reported in Leno’s garage. Its low production run makes it a useful comparison with the one-off and converted cars on this list.
Experimental power and reported survivors
1963 Chrysler Turbine Car
The Chrysler Turbine Car was an experiment, not a mass-market production model. autoevolution reports that 55 were built and nine survive. One is reported in Leno’s collection. The gap between the original build count and reported survivors shows why production and survival are separate measures of rarity.

1913 Mercer Raceabout
Jay Leno estimated that perhaps 20 or 25 Mercer Raceabouts remained in existence during a 2015 episode, as reported by Jalopnik. Treat that as a dated estimate, not a current verified survivor count. The Los Angeles Times’ 2014 gallery documented a Mercer Raceabout in the garage at that time, but that photograph does not establish present ownership.
1940 Lagonda V12
Jalopnik reports that 189 Lagonda V12s were produced between 1938 and 1940. That is a low-volume run, although it is not as numerically scarce as several other examples here. Its place on the list illustrates that rarity can mean more than the smallest production figure.

The EcoJet is a one-off; the LaGrande is a reconstruction of a type whose two reported originals are gone; and the Shogun is a conversion completed in a small number. The Trevita CCXR, Duesenberg Model X, Cunningham C-3, and Chrysler Turbine Car have reported production counts, while the Mercer estimate concerns surviving examples. These categories help explain the cars without pretending they can be ranked on one exact scale.

Ownership also needs qualification. The research reports some vehicles in Leno’s collection, documents others as featured on the program, and does not provide a current authoritative ownership register for every car. The reported 2024 charity-auction sale of Leno’s 1957 Mercedes-Benz 300SL is a reminder that a car once associated with the collection should not automatically be described as still there.

Does Jay Leno own every car featured on Jay Leno’s Garage?
No. The program also features cars belonging to other people. A show appearance by itself does not establish ownership.
What is the rarest car in Jay Leno’s garage?
There is no defensible single winner from the available research because rarity can mean a one-off, a low production count, or few reported survivors. The EcoJet is described as one of a kind, while several other cars have small production runs or distinctive histories.
