Check out "Mr. October" Reggie Jackson’s Car Collection

Reggie Jackson's net worth is estimated to be around $20 million as of 2023. The documentary 'Reggie,' about Reggie Jackson, is set to be released on Prime Video. Jackson has been a car lover ever since he was a kid, and he bought his first car, a 1951 Chevrolet, with money that he got from his brother. Ever since then, he has gone on to add over 100 cars to his collection.

His choices include a variety of automobiles produced in the 1930s, through the 1970s, and even into the 1980s. He has collected vintage Fords, Porsches, Hot Rods, Corvettes, Mustangs, Shelbys, and Mopars, to name a few. Jackson even dabbles in the exotic with brands like Ferrari and Mercedes-Benz, despite having a slight preference for the American muscle-car culture.

Jackson once lost around 35 out of 98 cars, worth millions of dollars in 1988 after a fire broke out in his garage. Jackson ended up spending around a million dollars to buy 30 cars to try and complete his collection again. He even decided to put 19 of his antiques up for auction. That being said, Jackson still has quite a few cars remaining in his collection, and according to him, he’ll probably hold on to them for some more time. So without further ado, here are some of the most expensive Reggie Jackson cars.

10. 1961 Chevrolet Corvette

The first car on Reggie Jackson's car list is the 1961 Chevrolet Corvette. The 1961 Corvette owned by Reggie Jackson was the top-of-the-line version that came with a fuel-injected engine along with the Big Brake package that contained stiff shocks, rear cooling air scoops, finned drums, wide steel wheels, and a quick steering adapter.

Chevrolet only allowed people to get the Corvette with the solid-lifter engine if they got the Positraction rear axle with it. This was a very rare Corvette combination, with only 233 examples ever produced. The estimated value of this car is somewhere between $130,000 and $150,000.

9. 1967 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 

The next car on this list is one of three Camaros owned by Reggie Jackson, a 1967 Chevrolet Camaro Z28. The Camaro was introduced in 1966 to compete with the Ford Mustang. The car was very popular among car enthusiasts, and Chevrolet wasted no time in introducing high-performance versions of the Camaro.

The rarest of them was the Camaro Z28, and the one that was part of Jackson’s collection was one of 602 produced in 1967. Because of the rarity of this car, it is very desirable to enthusiasts, and the estimated value of this car is somewhere between $150,000 and $200,000.

8. 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe 

The second and final Corvette on this list is the 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe. The 1965 Corvette Coupe that was part of Reggie Jackson’s collection was one of 771 to be produced with the Rochester fuel-injected V-8. The car was kept in pristine condition, and because of that, it earned the NCRS 5-Star Bowtie Award. The estimated value of the 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe is somewhere between $185,000 and $225,000.

The 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe is powered by a naturally aspirated 5.3-liter V8 engine that puts out 375 HP and 350 lb-ft of torque. It helps the car go from 0-60 MPH in 5.7 seconds and reach a top speed of 145 MPH.

7. 1968 Chevrolet Yenko Camaro RS/SS

The next car in Reggie Jackson's car collection is the 1968 Chevrolet Yenko Camaro RS/SS. The Yenko Camaro is essentially a heavily modified Camaro that Don Yenko built to overcome GM's engine limits on the Camaros and rival the best in the era's muscle car scene.

Only 64 Yenko Camaros were produced, and Jackson's is one of just 11 with the SS/RS design, making it even more rare. A thorough restoration was also done on Jackson’s Camaro. The car was sold at auction for $285,000.

6. 1969 Chevy Yenko Chevelle

The next car on this list is yet another car that comes with the Yenko treatment, the 1969 Chevy Yenko Chevelle. Only 323 of the approximately 86,000 SS Chevelle models Chevrolet produced in 1969 were labeled COPO vehicles.

And fewer than 100 of them were sent to Don Yenko's auto dealership to be modified into Yenko S/C variants. Reggie Jackson's Yenko Chevelle is one of approximately 37 cars that were constructed with a Turbo 400 automatic transmission, power steering, and a vinyl top.

5. 2005 Ford GT 

Next up is the 2005 Ford GT. The Ford GT was based on the historically significant Ford GT40, a car that won the 24 Hours of Le Mans four consecutive years, which included a 1-2-3 finish in 1966 with Kenneth Miles and the whole Ford Vs Ferrari thing.

The man bought the car from his local Ford dealer in Monterey Cypress Ford, and he specifically ordered in metallic dark blue paint without the legendary stripes. Reggie Jackson later sold his Ford GT with only 95 miles on the odometer for $166,500 in 2011 according to Bonhams.

4. 1965 Shelby GT350

Only 562 of the 1965 Shelby GT350s were ever made, and many of those vehicles have been lost to time or accidents, further reducing the quantity of available examples. As a result, the 1965 Shelby GT350 is one of the most sought-after collector automobiles on the market. The GT 350 versions from 1965 and 1966 were the smallest and lightest.

Both cars have the Cobra insignia, a similar color scheme, and Shelby's renowned "Cobra" valve covers, which were an optional addition on many GT350s and part of a marketing tie-in. Reggie sold his 1965 GT350 for $247,500 in 2011 at an auction, but the estimated value of the car in 2022 will be around $370,000.

3. 1969 Chevrolet Camaro ZL-1

The third and final Camaro on this list is the 1969 Chevrolet Camaro ZL-1. The 1969 Camaro ZL-1 was regarded as one of the most famous, rare, desirable, and fast cars of the late 1960s. The car was light and extremely powerful with the aluminum-block ZL-1 engine, with the best one being the 1969 "9560" Camaro.

GM created the ZL-1 motor for the Can-Am Challenge Series, a competition in which multiple manufacturers invested a significant amount of time and resources. In fact, the dominant McLaren team won multiple races thanks to the Chevy ZL-1 engine with a large block of aluminum. Another reason why this specific car is so rare is because it's one of only five or six 956 ZL-1 Camaros from 1969 to have survived with the original engine intact.

2. 1973 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona Spyder

The next car on this list is one of two Ferraris that are part of Reggie Jackson’s collection: the 1973 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona Spyder. The 1973 Daytona Spyder is an impressive muscle car in its own right. This particular Daytona Spyder was owned by none other than renowned motorcycle stuntman Evel Knievel. The estimated value of the 1973 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona Spyder is around $800,000.

The 1973 Daytona Spyder is an exceptional example of Maranello's convertible front-engined grand tourer. This particular car had 29,431 miles on the odo at the time of cataloging on RM Sothby's accompanied by books, tools, and documents with Massini report, prior registration, and service invoices. It fetched a little more than $2.2 million at the auction.

1. 1966 Ferrari 275 GTB/4 convertible

The final car on this list is the 1966 Ferrari 275 GTB/4 convertible. It is one of the most elegant drop-tops ever built, but the one owned by Reggie Jackson has a figurative asterisk next to it. Between 1966 and 1968, Ferrari produced 330 GTB/4 Berlinettas in total. These stylish two-door hardtops were purchased by celebrities like Miles Davis and Steve McQueen. But the 275 GTB/4 N.A.R.T. Spyders were the rarest versions of the car.

The 275 GTB/4 owned by Jackson is not one of those ten cars that were produced by Scaglietti. Instead, it was originally a 275 GTB/4 Berlinetta that was sent to the Chinetti dealership, and after that, the dealership turned the car into a convertible. The value of an original 275 GTB/4 N.A.R.T. Spyder is above $20 million. According to Ferrari specialists, the price of this car is estimated to be around $3,000,000.

• 1957 Chevrolet 150 (LOT S136): This one is a rather humble offering from Reggie’s car collection and received a full restoration job from Rotisserie in 2005. What’s special about the 150 lies under the hood, it is a 283 CI V8 fed by a twin 4-barrel carburetors intake shared with the Corvette.
• 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle LS6 (LOT S142): The last immaculate piece in the collection has remained unrestored and offered with the original built sheet, a rare LS6 CRV 454/450 HP V-8 engine, and M22 4-speed manual transmission.

Each of the cars here is as authentic as it can get and will take to the charm of the 60s and 70s. The prices are expected to be high since all of them are in near-perfect condition mixed with the fact that they are from the collection of a baseball legend.
