George Foreman, the boxing legend turned entrepreneur, is known for his love of fine automobiles as much as his iconic achievements in the ring. His car collection boasts an impressive lineup of luxury classics, powerful muscle cars, and sentimental favorites that reflect his incredible journey.

In December 2023, Foreman made headlines when he auctioned off most of his prized vehicles, marking the end of an era. Speaking about the sale, he shared, “I have been a car collector and enthusiast most of my life, but the time has come for me to share my cars with other like-minded enthusiasts.”


11. 1950 GMC Series 100 Pick-Up Truck

The standout vehicle in George Foreman’s collection isn’t a flashy sports car—it’s his 1950 GMC Series 100 Pickup Truck. Foreman revealed he rarely drives his collectibles, except for this vintage gem, which he uses to transport his and wife Mary’s eleven German Shepherds.

The GMC Series 100, introduced after WWII, boasted a bold redesign that quickly became a must-have for car enthusiasts. This collector’s gem even found its way to auction, alongside the Chevrolet 3100 Series ½ Ton truck. With its rounded, curvy silhouette, the Series 100 exudes more vintage charm than rugged utility, making it a true classic in every sense.


10. 1978 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible

The most memento car for George is indeed the black 1978 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible. He sees his VW as an achievement and added that he would never sell it. The 1978 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible was the last year of the first generation and the production was shifted from Germany to Mexico following 1978.

It all started when a counselor’s convertible Volkswagen Beetle sparked young Foreman’s fascination with cars. He would often dream, “One day, if I make enough money, I’ll own one.” Though it held sentimental value, Foreman ultimately parted with it during the auction, where it sold for $26,750.


9. 1974 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow

Among the prized possessions in the Olympic gold medalist’s car collection is a stunning 1974 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow—a symbol of opulence in its era and the brand’s most luxurious offering at the time. Foreman’s Silver Shadow boasts full-grained leather seats and meticulously handcrafted wood paneling, exuding elegance and timeless craftsmanship.

Rolls-Royce produced around 30,057 units of the Silver Shadow, but many weren’t maintained to the brand’s exacting standards, leading to lower market values compared to the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud—another gem in Foreman’s collection. Despite this, Foreman’s meticulously preserved Silver Shadow stands out as a true classic. Muhammad Ali also owned one in his car collection. 


8. 1991 Callaway Corvette C4 Convertible

Another standout in Foreman’s collection is the rare 1991 Callaway Corvette C4 Convertible. With only 500 units produced between 1987 and 1991, this limited-edition powerhouse is a true gem. Its rarity and performance make it a one-of-a-kind treasure in the boxing legend’s impressive lineup.

But wait—its quirkiness didn’t stop there, as the passenger seat featured an embroidered hamburger. With just 1,569 miles on the odometer, its value soared even higher.

A true masterpiece of luxury and craftsmanship! One such example was auctioned in 2019 for just £40,000—a steal! However, with custom tires costing around £12,000 to replace, it’s worth considering the upkeep.


Special Mentions: 

George Foreman’s car collection was the stuff of dreams for enthusiasts and collectors alike. From rare gems to unique classics, his garage showcased an extraordinary lineup of vehicles that reflected his larger-than-life persona. In 2023, as previously mentioned, nearly all of these exquisite and unconventional cars went under the hammer, marking the end of an unforgettable car-collecting journey. Let’s take a closer look at some of the standout rides from his iconic collection!

1976 Cadillac Eldorado 

The 1976 Cadillac Eldorado is a legendary name that speaks for itself. A cherished gem in George Foreman’s car collection, this ninth-generation icon of American motoring embodied the spirit of a classic two-door cruiser. While its large engine might seem underpowered by today’s standards, its timeless design more than makes up for it. 

Foreman’s Eldorado dazzles in a striking blue-on-blue color scheme, complete with whitewall tires and a dark blue convertible soft top. According to Hagerty, pristine examples of this beauty are currently valued at $27,800.


1999 Plymouth Prowler

This two-door sports car from the '90s stands out as one of the era's most distinctive and iconic designs. But what truly sets it apart? Foreman’s Prowler underwent a bold transformation, featuring vibrant yellow paint paired with an eye-catching cheetah-print flame design blazing across the front. The wild theme continues inside, with cheetah-print accents adorning the headrests and door panels, making it a true one-of-a-kind creation.


1955 Chevrolet Bel Air 

A classic popular in the 50s and 60s, the Chevrolet Bel Air is a classic that became the symbol of freedom in the new world. Initially, only hardtop iterations would be produced but in its over two-decade-long production cycle it would get various body types.  George's car featured a cool copper metallic color with a tan interior. He did add some upgrades too, like a cassette deck and an air conditioning unit.


2000 BMW Z8 

A masterpiece of design by Henrik Fisker, the BMW Z8 is undoubtedly a stunning sports coupe. With only a few thousand produced, it stands as one of the rarest gems from the early 2000s. George Foreman has owned this particular Z8 since it was new, making it even more special. 

It’s one of just 37 finished in the elegant Topaz Blue Metallic paint, paired with a luxurious Crema and Black interior. With only 4,659 miles on the odometer, its pristine condition added to its allure. Foreman ultimately sold this rare beauty for an impressive $251,000.


2002 Pontiac Firebird Firehawk 

A standout in George Foreman’s car collection is a striking red coupe, enhanced with the coveted Firehawk performance package. What makes this gem even more remarkable is its incredibly low mileage—just 1,021 miles. Street Legal Performance (SLP), is a masterclass in subtle yet impactful upgrades. 

SLP outfitted the car with a custom hood and an upgraded exhaust system to boost its power. They also incorporated distinctive wheels and a selection of suspension components from the F-body parts bin, resulting in a car that’s as thrilling to drive as it is to admire.


1960 Bentley S2 

George Foreman had a soft spot for Bentleys, and his collection included the stunning 1990s Azure. This executive-class sedan epitomized vintage luxury, featuring a wood-paneled dashboard, fold-down tray tables, and rear armrests—an extraordinary level of comfort for its era. Adding to its rarity, this is one of only 11 left-hand-drive, full-size models built without a partition, offering a unique blend of exclusivity and classic elegance.


1961 Chevrolet Corvette 

The 1961 Chevrolet Corvette was a head-turner with its updated front fascia featuring quad headlamps and a refreshed interior. George Foreman’s stunning C1 model came in Tuxedo Black with a striking red interior, perfectly complemented by classic whitewall tires that amplified its vintage appeal. Remarkably, this beauty remained unmodified and boasted just 9,000 miles on the odometer when it hit the auction block—a true collector’s gem.


1932 Ford 

George's rich chocolate-brown 1932 Ford coupe is pure vintage cool, especially with its gleaming gold wheels adding a touch of flair. One of two ’32 Fords in his collection—alongside a sedan—this three-window coupe is a tastefully understated hot rod. Under the hood, it packs a Chevy V-8 engine fed by four four-barrel carburetors, cleverly disguised with a head resembling a Hemi. While the Hemi-inspired look might not fool the experts, this sleek machine is undeniably ready to hit the road in style.


1963 Chevrolet Corvette 

Chevy’s silver split-window coupe is a timeless classic—and it’s easy to see why. Its iconic 1963 design still turns heads, with bold styling that’s complemented perfectly by a striking red interior. Under the hood, it boasts a fuel-injected small-block 327 cu-in engine, delivering both power and precision. While there’s some oxidation and corrosion present, it’s nothing that a little TLC can’t fix, leaving this sassy beauty ready to shine once again.


1964 Chevrolet Impala 

The Chevrolet Impala, a true icon of its era, enjoyed a massive cult following and became the blueprint for countless lowriders. George Foreman’s Tuxedo Black Impala was especially striking, featuring sleek silver upholstery. Under the hood, the W-Series big block engine with its four-barrel setup churned out an impressive 340 horsepower, making it as powerful as it was stylish.
