Bruce Jenner’s Porsche 914 For Sale

It’s rusty, it doesn’t run, and it has a few dents but it’s up for grabs on eBay. Jenner bought the car in 1976 right after he’d signed his first deal with Adidas and the same year he won the games. Before the 914, he was driving a $175 1963 VW bug so spending $5600 on a brand new car was a big deal. My how times have changed for Bruce Caitlyn since then….

“So I bought this brand new 914 Porsche, green in color, the only new car I’d ever bought – for $5,600. My payments were $98 and I’m thinking, how am I going to pay that?” – Bruce Jenner interview with Barbara Terry

Janis Joplin’s Customized 1965 Porsche is Going To Auction

Janis Joplin’s wildly painted 1965 Porsche 356C Cabriolet is set to be auctioned off this December by RM Sotheby’s in New York City. Janis bought the Porsche in September 1968 (it was white originally) and had a friend customize it with the psychedelic mural. She drove it as her daily driver until she died of a drug overdose in 1970. The Porsche has been sitting at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland for the past two decades and was given a full restoration in the early 90’s.

The car is expected to bring in around $400,000.
