Travis Barker’s garage was once filled with Cadillacs, which he eventually auctioned off, selling three at the 2020 Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale event, yet his collection still boasts a dream car, the 1987 GNX gifted by Kourtney Kardashian, along with an Escalade, a LaFerrari, and a Urus. He is also associated with a red Chevrolet Corvette, though never photographed with it, and now that he’s engaged to Kourtney, it’s safe to assume his fleet will soon see even more thrilling additions befitting a rock star’s garage.

1987 Buick GNX

Kourtney Kardashian scored major points when she gifted her then-fiance, now husband, Travis Barker, a 1987 Buick GNX, one of only 547 built, proving that you can indeed impress a man who seemingly has everything. The Blink-182 drummer couldn’t contain his excitement and promptly shared the car’s menacing, all-black aesthetic on social media. He captioned his post with a playful swipe at supercars by saying, “You can keep your Ferraris and Lambos,” and went on to gush about how it was the “best birthday present ever.” Despite the irony that he’s owned both brands in the past, or very likely still does, this iconic Buick clearly has a special place in his heart, especially considering it’s in near-pristine condition with very few miles on the clock.

The GNX was dubbed “Darth Vader’s car” for good reason back in the late ‘80s, as it was quick enough to humble many big-ticket rivals. To add to the cool factor, Travis has even shown off fuzzy dice hanging from his rearview mirror, a nod to WWII pilots who hung dice for good luck before missions. Meanwhile, Kourtney has confessed she loves taking the car out herself, proving that when it comes to capturing a car lover’s heart, a piece of automotive history is often worth more than any sleek new supercar on the market.


7. 2007 Cadillac Escalade Dub Edition

2007 Cadillac Escalade Dub Edition

Travis Barker is well known for his distinct taste in custom vehicles. One of his most iconic rides is the 2007 Cadillac Escalade Dub Edition, which was specially modified to suit his personal style. This particular Escalade’s unique aesthetic not only reflects Barker’s penchant for standout looks but also landed him a spot on the cover of DUB Magazine, highlighting both his love for luxurious SUVs and his influence in car culture.

In addition to his 2007 Dub Edition, Barker is also reported to own a black 2015 Cadillac Escalade. Sleek and sophisticated, this more modern Escalade echoes his preference for performance and high-end design, offering state-of-the-art features and a commanding presence on the road. Together, these Cadillacs serve as prime examples of Barker’s passion for vehicles that merge rugged performance with luxury, and they remain notable fixtures in his impressive car collection.


6. 2021 Lamborghini Urus

Lamborghini Urus

The only Lamborghini that is in Travis Barker's car collection is the black Urus SUV. In 2021, Barker posted a picture of himself with the Urus. Although the exact specs and model year of the car have not been revealed, the date of the post suggests that he owns the 2021 Urus model which came with single-trim specs.

Although Barker has not disclosed the exact specifications or model year of his Urus, the timing of his social media post hints at a 2021 model. Lamborghini released the Urus with a single trim that year, so it is likely that Barker’s car fits those specs. Despite the lack of official confirmation, one thing is clear: Barker’s choice to include the Urus in his garage reflects both his passion for cutting-edge performance and his flair for upscale design.


5. 2014 Ferrari LaFerrari

Ferrari LaFerrari

In 2020, Kourtney Kardashian's husband posted a video of himself with a yellow LaFerrari on his Instagram. He captioned it with "Ridin’ in 🚀🚀🚀" and tagged "@wiresonly @fog.again".

However, on the street and various other occasions, Travis has been hardly captured with this Ferrari. It is possible that Barker sold his LaFerrari but reports are yet to confirm this.


4. 2021 Porsche Taycan Turbo S

Porsche Taycan Turbo S

Travis Barker’s car collection is famous for blending high-octane performance with luxury, and one of its standout stars is the Porsche Taycan. Known for delivering track-inspired thrills in a sleek, all-electric package, this German masterpiece is tailor-made for aficionados who expect the best of both worlds. Although it forgoes the roar of a traditional engine, the Taycan makes up for it with an ultra-quiet cabin and a premier audio system, an immersive experience that a passionate drummer like Barker can truly appreciate.

Putting this sound system front and center, Porsche handed over the Taycan to Barker and fellow artist Kenny Hoopla, just as they wrapped up recording a new album. Their time with the Taycan proved that even an electric car could live up to the head-banging lifestyle of a rock musician, combining style, efficiency, and cutting-edge tech in one sleek package. Fans and collectors alike can explore current Taycan listings on duPont REGISTRY, where each model provides an opportunity to channel a bit of that Travis Barker energy behind the wheel.


3. 2018 Mercedes-Benz G550 4x4 Squared

Mercedes-Benz G550 4x4 Squared

Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker, known for his nonstop schedule and love of classic rides, has taken his off-road obsession to the next level with a Mercedes-Benz G550 4x4 Squared. Whether he’s laying down tracks at his personal studio or navigating busy city avenues, Barker can count on this $250k G-Wagon to stand out in any crowd, just like his music.

The G550 4x4 Squared does more than just look impressive; it can stir up drama, too. When a teenager tried to snap a few photos of the off-roader outside a recording studio, Barker took offense, concerned about the possibility of his license plate being shared online. The exchange sparked some controversy, but it also served as a reminder of how passionate Barker is about his rides and his privacy.


2. 2017 Rolls-Royce Wraith Black Badge

Rolls-Royce Wraith

Travis Barker's Wraith has a confusing history. He used to own the Rolls-Royce Black Badge Wraith until it was stolen. It got little media attention but it did show up in Grant Van Brewer's ownership who is the current brand ambassador of Hennessy Porsche. However, in 2014, Autoevolution reported that the Blinker 182 rock band member got his Wraith fully customized by the Platinum Group auto shop.

Powertrain6.6L Twin-Turbo V12

Top Speed155 MPH

This creates a conflict. The Black Badge package on Wraith was officially introduced in the 2017 model year. Hence, it is either that it was a misreporting or Travis bought another Wraith with the Black Badge specs. Travis Barker's Wraith Black Badge likely belonged to the 2017 model year since this is what has been referenced in the VINwiki YouTube channel's video by Grant Van Brewer. It makes Autoevolution's claim somewhat questionable.


1. 2021 Rolls-Royce Cullinan Black Badge

Rolls-Royce Cullinan

The legendary drummer famous for rocking stages with Blink-182 and collaborating with stars like Avril Lavigne isn’t just renowned for his musical prowess, he’s also a true car aficionado. Among his impressive fleet, his blacked-out Rolls-Royce Cullinan SUV stands out for its luxurious and “gangsta” style. Whether he’s cruising around with Kourtney in the passenger seat or picking up his daughter from school, Barker’s Cullinan never fails to turn heads. Decked out with a captivating interior inspired by a starry night sky, this beast combines British elegance with a ferocious roar.

This Rolls-Royce Cullinan is just one of many extravagant investments in Barker’s ever-growing garage, which also includes brands like Mercedes-Benz and Cadillac. But there’s something about this sleek black SUV that demands attention, reflecting Travis’s edgy personality and show-stopping lifestyle.

Besides these, Travis Barker a.k.a Bones also had a Dodge car. In 2021, Dodge selected 25 ambassadors for its "Operation 25//8" campaign and Travis Barker was among the ranks of Jay Leno, David Hoffmann, and Doug Marcaida. Travis and others gave away a dream car.

It was James S. from Morgantown, Indiana who won Travis Barker's Dodge. However, it is yet to be revealed which model he received. Travis has been captured with a red Dodge car and it is reported that he owned the Challenger. However, neither Dodge nor Travis have officially confirmed the car Clarence (Travis Barker) gave away.


Special Mention: Mercedes-Benz G-Class

In 2023, Travis Barker gave his kids a Christmas to remember when he splurged on two matching black Mercedes G-Wagens, each worth around $140,000, topped with huge red bows for his oldest children, Landon and Alabama, who had just turned 18 on December 24, 2023. 

Barker, who had recently welcomed a child with Kourtney Kardashian but shared Landon and Alabama with a previous partner, seemed to have embraced the Kardashians’ penchant for lavish spending since his opulent wedding the year before. While other kids unwrapped toy cars, Landon and Alabama were gifted vehicles that couldn’t fit under any tree.
