Everyone knows John Cena as a professional wrestler, but he has also ventured into rapping and acting in movies like The Navy, Train wreck, Ferdinandand Bumblebee. Widely regarded as one of the greatest WWE wrestlers ever, John Cena has amassed a net worth of over $60 million, so it’s no surprise that his garage is filled with some of the rarest and most exotic cars in the world.
When it comes to cars, John Cena has a type. He likes his cars to be as muscular as he is. While he collects some cars for their beauty, speed and power, he keeps others for nostalgic reasons. Let’s pop into Cena’s garage to see which cars would make us jealous.
10/10 1966 Dodge Charger 426 HEMI
Cena’s 1966 Dodge Charger 426 HEMI is an intimidating limited edition muscle car with the same front sheet metal and chassis as the Coronet. Marketed as the leader of the Dodge Rebellion, the ’66 Chargers came with a 426 cubic inch HEMI making 425 horsepower. The 1966 Charger 426 HEMI is the very first muscle car made by Dodge and is worth more than $100,000 today.
In addition to the stellar power, Dodge went the extra mile to ensure the 1966 Charger 426 HEMI is comfortable. Full bucket seats are available in the front and rear seats of the ’66 Charger 426 HEMI, making Dodge the first automaker to do so.
9/10 1969 COPO Chevrolet Camaro
Since Central Office Production Orders Camaros are not exactly production cars, they were not constrained by the weight, power and displacement restrictions of the time. Cena’s 1969 COPO Chevrolet Camaro is a red muscle car with an L72 iron Mark IV 427 CU engine mated to an H22 4-speed transmission that squeezes out 425 horsepower.
John’s first-generation Chevy Camaro was originally worth about $30,000, but now they’re priced at $166,000. Only 193 units of the 1969 COPO Camaro were made and they reached a top speed of 200 mph.
8/10 1970 AMC rebels the machine
Looking at the white exterior of the 1970 AMC Rebel The Machine, you might think it’s not exactly a high-performance muscle car. But you couldn’t be more wrong. The machine’s 390-cu.in. The V8 produces enough power to pull your hair off your body as it passes you on the road.
Rated at 340 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque, the AMC Rebel was quite rare, with only about 2,326 made. The 1970 AMC Rebel The Machine was originally valued at $3,475 but should currently be over $100,000.
7/10 Plymouth Superbird from 1970
Cena’s visually arresting 1970 Plymouth Superbird could be mistaken for the 1969 Dodge Daytona due to their similar nose and spoiler. However, there is a world of difference between the two muscle cars. The 1970 Superbird draws its power from a 440 cu.in. “Super Commando” V8 engine with 390 hp.
John Cena’s 1970 Superbird is one of 1,920 units made and may be one of the last surviving units. The wrestler cum actor is undeniably a racing fan as many of the Plymouth Superbirds were collected by NASCAR Hall of Famers like Ray Evernham.
6/10 2006 Dodge Viper
John Cena’s car collection isn’t complete without mentioning the pulsating 2006 Dodge Viper. We know Cena has a thing for high-performance cars, but with the Dodge Viper, it’s safe to say it’s also big on streamlined cars that glide effortlessly along.
This super-fast Viper takes just 3.1 seconds to reach 100 km/h and reaches a quarter-mile in 12.1 seconds. Cena’s Dodge Viper’s 20-valve pushrod V10 engine puts out 510 horsepower and costs about $86,000.
5/10 2006 Ford GT
John Cena owns a limited edition 2006 Ford GT that is currently valued at around $400,000. Cena’s ’06 GT is one of 27 made and is rated at 330 cu.in. Six-speed manual transmission that delivers 550 horsepower. The entire process of Cena acquiring the exclusive Ford GT led Ford to file a lawsuit against Cena, who subsequently issued a counter-suit.
The interior of the 2006 Ford GT is almost better than Ferrari’s, even if there are a few design flaws like the zero storage space. But Cena probably doesn’t care about that. It probably just needs a powerful speedster and the 2006 Ford GT falls short in that regard.
4/10 2007 Dodge Charger SRT-8 Super Bee
The 2007 Charger SRT-8 Super Bee is another modern muscle car in Cena’s collection. The Detonator orange, black racing stripe, rear spoiler and headlights combine to create a monstrous look for the 2007 Dodge Charger Super Bee.
John’s Charger Super Bee is one of a thousand built and while it originally retailed for $20,000, it should now be just over $100,000. It comes with a powerful HEMI V8 engine that delivers 425 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque.
3/10 2007 Ford Mustang Saleen Parnelli Jones
John Cena collected one of 500 2007 Ford Mustang Saleen Parnelli Jones ever built for around $40,000. The limited-edition Mustang rocks a 302 cu.in. Ford Modular V8 engine with 24 valves, 5-speed manual transmission and produces 400 horsepower.
The Grabber Orange Ford Mustang does not do badly on the track, accelerating from 100 km/h in 4.7 seconds. On the open road, Cena’s Saleen Parnelli Jones Mustang is as sublime as any other Mustang.
2/10 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 from 2009
If you’ve been following this list closely, you may have noticed that Cena usually opts for higher horsepower muscle cars each year. His 2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 is built with a 6.2-liter LS9 V8 engine that puts out a whopping 638 horsepower.
Cena’s 2009 Corvette ZR1 currently sells for $105,000 and sprints to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds and a quarter-mile at 130 mph in less than 11.4 seconds.
1/10 Custom 2013 Corvette C7.R InCEnarator
John Cena modified a Corvette C7.R to his taste and named it the “InCENArator”. Everything about this custom Corvette, from the headlights to the 8-flame spewing tailpipes, screams fire!
The standard Corvette C7.R comes with a 5.5-liter V8 engine that puts out 491 horsepower, but Cena wasn’t satisfied with that, so he decided to team up with Parker Brothers Concepts to build a car that looks as if he were in the year 3000.
