Jerry Seinfeld’s 2004 Porsche Carrera GT is For Sale

Another car from the collection of celebrity Porschephile Jerry Seinfeld is up for sale. While the advertisement for this 2004 Carrera GT at Canepa Design simply says “celebrity owned”, a brief perusal of the pictures included with the listing provide a fairly obvious paper trail proving this Porsche’s provenance.

Will Celebrity Provenance Push Pricing Higher?

Even though we’re never quite sure how to value celebrity provenance, the market sure seems to. Look at what happened a few week’s ago with a Porsche 911 Turbo previously owned by David Beckham (which, by the way, is back up for sale).

While Canepa’s site doesn’t list a price for this stunner, if past sales of other Jerry Seinfeld Porsches are any indication, it’s a safe bet this particular Porsche will ring in well above the average asking price for similar CGTs with similar miles (SloanCars has a CGT for sale with only 577 miles).

For more information and pictures on the Seinfeld Car see the complete listing on Canepa Designs.
