John Cena vs. Bill Goldberg: The 20 Sickest Cars From Their Collections

When you put together two of the greatest artists of our time, you will find that they each have a huge amount of money. When you combine their bank accounts, the numbers you get are staggering. When you see that they both love to collect muscle cars, you see two of the most beautiful muscle car collections in the whole world.

Together with John Cena and Bill Goldberg, they won a total of eighteen world championships in the professional wrestling ring. However, sixteen of them belong to Cina. When you leave the ring and enter the garage, it's a different story. The numbers are much more equal. Everyone has a very impressive collection of muscle cars and it's almost impossible to pick a winner in this category. Given that Cena has some VERY expensive cars in his collection, just in terms of the money spent on them, he might get a nod as having a slight advantage.

That's not to say that Goldberg didn't spend a lot of money on his collection, because he did. In fact, he owns the rarest Mustang in the world. So in terms of value at this level, it should be a bit ahead. It's too close a race to call. Read and decide for yourself!

20 InCENArator by John Cena

John Cena was looking for a car to make his big entrance to the WWE stage. He didn't like everything on the market, but he had an idea. He has a 2009 Corvette ZR1, which we'll talk about in a few minutes. Something about the machine struck him with the InCENArator idea.

Parker Brothers Concepts agreed to take Cena's idea and they came up with this beautiful monster. This is a futuristic vehicle similar to what you might have seen in the Batman movie, with a glass roof that opens up to enter and comes with eight flamethrowers!

When the company delivered the car to Sina, he was completely shocked and said that this is exactly what he was looking for. There is absolutely nothing like it on the market. When it's closed it looks amazing as you can see, but when it's open so you can climb inside it looks almost like something out of a Transformers movie.

Cena was looking for something that people will never forget, and the Parker Brothers concepts certainly did just that. He buys and sells a lot of cars, but this one will be in Cena's garage for a very long time!

19 1965 Shelby Cobra replica by Bill Goldberg

Bill Goldberg may have the coolest Shelby Cobra in the entire world. This 1965 Shelby Cobra replica was built by Birdie Elliot, who is the brother of NASCAR legend Bill Elliot. Birdie built it with a full NASCAR engine, making it ready to win a race without any notice.

Goldberg is a big fan of both NASCAR and Elliot, so this car is perfect for his collection and he has said many times that it is the crown jewel of his collection. Shelby's are known to be used for racing, but there aren't many cars in the world that seriously challenge this.

However, as you can see, it has one major drawback: it's not easy for a man the size of Bill Goldberg to get in and out of a small car. He looks very out of place when he's driving, and it's hard to tell which is more eye-catching; the beauty of the car or the giant man crammed into the small driver's seat.

The car is valued at around $160,000 which makes it a very smart investment and you won't want to drive the streets too often.

18 2009 John Cena's 1st Corvette ZR

John has never been a real big guy with a Corvette and he will be the first to admit it. However, when he saw the 2009 ZR1 design, something struck him and he wanted one. He contacted Chevy and they built him their 73^rd Car Zr1. He liked the machine so much that it inspired the previously discussed InCENArator. It was built from another 2009 ZR1 that John bought for the sole purpose of taking it apart and turning it into the futuristic model it has become.

We're not entirely sure where he got the idea for his new car from, but we can definitely see why he fell in love with the regular ZR1. You can see here the beauty that it has, along with a very clear design.

When you're the face of a WWE-sized company, you can afford a luxury or six. But when the 2010 version of the car came out, he stopped being a big fan again. The 2009 version did something for it, but the new one didn't. So don't expect one of them to turn into a transforming car anytime soon.

17 Bill Goldberg's '1970 Camaro Z28

This beautiful 1970 Camaro Z28 came in several trim levels and was one of the most powerful race cars of its day (if you had a fully loaded one). Of course, Goldberg, who is a big fan of muscle cars, has one for himself. It has an LT-1 engine that makes nearly 360 horsepower and 380 lb-ft of torque.

He bought it and tested it thoroughly to make sure it was worthy of being in his garage. He gave it a perfect score of ten out of ten and said: “This is a real racing car. He once competed in the Trans-Am Series of the 70s. It's absolutely beautiful; it was restored by Bill Elliott. He has a racing history; he raced at the Goodwood Festival. It's so cool; he's ready to race."

Bill Goldberg is not just one of the most popular professional wrestlers of all time; he also knows a thing or two about cars. Therefore, when he gives this beauty a ten out of ten, you should take this opinion seriously. He's someone who knows what he's talking about and his opinion on cars carries a lot of weight among car collectors.

16 John Cena's 1970 Plymouth SuperBird

Most of the John Cena car collection consists of old muscle cars. There's a certain beauty to them and every time you see one of them, it's easy to see why every car collector wants to own one or two of them.

A perfect example of this is Cena's 1970 Plymouth SuperBird. He once said in an interview why he loves muscle cars. “They always look at the car and that's why I love that era, the design was so crazy. I'm a big fan of the Pontiac GTO, especially the Judge package that Pontiac offered in '69, '70 and '71." In fact, he's such a big fan that he now has one copy every year. Why not? He certainly can afford it.

John mentioned in an interview that he now owns so many cars that his collection has outgrown the garage at his mansion in Tampa, Florida. You can find photos of beautiful cars scattered all over his driveway on the Internet, because there is already not enough space inside. Don't feel too bad for him being tough. He has enough money to easily solve this problem if he wants to. He can build a second floor on his existing garages or a brand new one next to his current one. The cost is a drop in the hat for him.

15 Jaguar XK-E Series 1966 Convertible Year 1 by Bill Goldberg

If you walk around Bill Goldberg's garage, you'll see great cars. If you pay very close attention, you will also notice a couple of things. First, there is nothing but muscle cars. He believes that if he is going to build a strong collection, then the muscle car path is a good path. Secondly, in his collection only American-made cars. When you realize this and keep looking around, you will see that one car will stand out for more than just these reasons.

The 1966 Jaguar XK-E Series Convertible is definitely an eye-catcher, and you'll notice it quickly. It is the only non-American car in his garage, and also the only car without a muscle car. But come on, it's still easy to see why it's in his collection. Just take a look at it!

The previous owner of this beauty was his friend, and they offered it to Goldberg for a bargain price of only eleven bucks. Yes, you read it right. He bought it from his friend for eleven dollars. Considering the fact that it costs around $150,000, you have to wonder why a friend gave it away for such a bargain price. This is a story we definitely want to know more about!

14 Judge John Cena's 1969 Pontiac GTO

Just a quick look at this awesome looking GTO will tell you everything you need to know about why John Cena has one in his garage. The 1969 Pontic GTO Judge is a must have for any muscle car enthusiast.

We can't tell you about all of Cena's cars today because we simply don't have time for that. But you should know that the garage next to this amazing car also houses a 2006 Ford GT, a 2007 Dodge Super Bee, and a 2007 Parnelli Jones Saleen Mustang.

As you can see, Cena has nothing against newer cars, but prefers the look of older ones. However, he appreciates that although the exterior design has changed, the engines are still the top priority and they still run fast enough to keep him happy.

Cena once told Men's Journal that his collection of cars isn't just created because he likes them and uses them as a status symbol; in fact, he is a fan of the cars he owns. “Yes, not only to collect - I'm a big fan of them. I have enough to keep me in trouble. Do I have a favorite? I know - 1970 Pontiac GTO, Ram F4."

13 1970 Pontiac GTO by Bill Goldberg

Like John Cena, Bill Goldberg has a special place in his heart (and in his garage) for a 1970 Pontiac GTO. The one that Goldberg has makes Cena more than a little jealous due to the rarity of the beast.

The '70 GTO came in a few different trims, but this particular one has a 360 horsepower engine with 500 lb-ft of torque. Not to mention, it's a three-speed manual transmission. That's right, it's a three-step. That's what makes it so rare that any car collector would want one, even if they didn't really like muscle cars.

Goldberg is very proud to be part of his collection. “Who in their right mind would drive such a powerful machine with a three-speed manual transmission? It just doesn't make any sense. I love the fact that it's so rare because it's just a wacky combination. I have never seen another three-stage. So it's pretty cool."

Cena and Goldberg have seen their fair share of battles inside the square circle, but if they ran into this machine at the same time…well, you can bet a heavyweight battle would break out for possession of this rare find. .

12 Black 1971 Pontiac GTO by John Cena

Can you imagine riding this beautiful beast? The 1971 Pontiac GTO is one of Cena's favorites, and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to say why. This thing is flawless and the only problem you might have right now is that it uses a little more gas than you'd like. But it's worth it in the end, which is why Cena has one in the garage.

This is the car you expect to see when John and Nikki drive up to Sonic to film one of those stupid commercials. The car fits right in with the times they are trying to live there. Oh, Nikki wouldn't be there now that they broke up, come on.

Even though Cena spent part of his youth in the 80s, Cena doesn't own cars from that decade. He once said that he preferred cars from the 60s and 70s. “My newest acquisition is a 1966 426 Dodge Charger with a twin ATV and 4-speed Hemi transmission. Beautiful car. Besides wrestling, cars are my passion. I'm a big fan of muscle cars from the late 60s, early 70s."

If John came to a WWE event in the '71 GTO, even Vince McMahon would envy him. Anyone who knows anything about cars knows they want one!

11 1969 Dodge Charger by Bill Goldberg

This 1969 Dodge Charger is another of Goldberg's favorites in his garage. You can recognize in the car the same model that Bo and Luke rode around Hazzard County in the old popular show. The Dukes of Hazzard. The one called the General Lee was bright red with the Confederate flag and was a stunning car in every way.

The Goldberg version, as you can see, is a very pure shade of blue that looks like it should be in the sky over a beautiful beach. They were big, powerful and could get you where you needed to be in a hurry. This is what Goldberg likes.

Unlike his Shelby, there's plenty of room for him in this thing. They are so roomy that you can comfortably lie down in the back seat. However, the big engine and big body meant it didn't run very well on gas in those days. One can only imagine the price of refueling at today's gas prices. But I don't think Bill Goldberg cares about gas prices when he's driving to the gas station.

10 Judge John Cena's 1970 Cardinal Red Pontiac GTO

When a person decides that he wants to start collecting something, he usually wants to get a very good item to start with. This gives them an incentive to keep looking for other works that are just as good or even better.

When John Cena was gaining experience in professional wrestling, there is no doubt that he ran into one or two stars who had the same passion for cars. You know, it only made him work harder so that one day he would have the money to start his own collection.

When he had enough money to splurge on things he didn't need, he made his first muscle car purchase: this beautiful 1970 Pontiac GTO Judge.

This flawless car has a great history, no doubt, and that's what John wants to know about. In an interview, he once said: “I don’t just buy them to buy. I buy them because I like them and every car has a story."

He definitely has the money to learn stories about some pretty fantastic cars, as you can see from his driveway and garage. This hottie wants to write some new stories while flying down I-75 in Tampa!

9 1970 Plymouth Barracuda by Bill Goldberg

The 1970 Plymouth Barracuda was a fast car in its heyday, and Bill Goldberg says every muscle car enthusiast in the world should own at least one. When it first appeared, there were several engine options, from the 3.2-liter to the very popular 7.2-liter V8. This version was very fast, but a bit gassy.

The version sitting in Goldberg's garage is powered by a 440 cubic-inch engine that is driven by a four-speed manual transmission. He said several times that this one is not the most expensive in his collection for him, but he likes it because of the rough style. He looks very good and that's why he likes him. Coming from a guy who knows what he's talking about, that's a good enough endorsement for you to add it to your collection. If you can find one that has been very well restored, it will set you back around $65,000.

Why don't you want to? If you find yourself at a traffic light in this thing, you won't find many people trying to challenge you when the light turns green!

8 John Cena's 1989 Jeep Wrangler

Most successful people remember their beginnings. They don't forget the struggle they went through to reach the level of success they finally did. Long days, lack of social life and perhaps even not knowing where and when they can eat next.

Having reached a certain level of success, a person usually buys what he really needs. Years later, that one thing that meant so much to their lives at that particular time may turn out to be the lowest and most insignificant thing they have.

Take John Cena's 1989 Jeep Wrangler. Knowing the collection of cars he has amassed, you wouldn't think you'd find something like this in a garage. However, this was his first purchase since signing his very first WWE contract.

At that moment, he thought he had achieved great success. He had no idea what glory awaited him. At the time of purchase, the Wrangler had 80,000 miles and would never sell it. “Dollar for dollar, that brought me the most joy. And that's something I'll never get rid of." It wasn't a bad buy, and it really doesn't look too bad next to the other good cars in his garage.

7 Boss 1970 Mustang 429 by Bill Goldberg

Bill Goldberg's 1970 Boss 429 Mustang is truly a one-of-a-kind car that every muscle car collector in the world wants to own. Just by looking at it quickly, you can tell that this thing was built for power and speed. And this is good, because the car was created with the intention of becoming the most powerful car in history.

It is powered by a 7-liter V8 engine assembled from steel and aluminum. When Ford started advertising them, they actually lied about the numbers, lowering them to assuage insurance companies' concerns. They had to do it because the truth is, he could pump out over six hundred horses! When they were released to the public, they were customized, but each owner quickly took them to their full potential.

So what makes Goldberg's version a one-of-a-kind find? His car is the only one in existence with an automatic transmission. Because of this, according to Goldberg, the cost of the car "goes through the roof," and it's certainly easy to see why.

Now you know why every muscle car fan in the world wants to own one. Just be aware that you will have to go through Goldberg to get it. It might not be worth the price!

6 John Cena's Lamborghini Countach

via classic driver

So what does a car enthusiast buy if he really loves muscle cars? Well, they'd like a name that means a lot to muscle car fans... the Lamborghini Countach.

However, this is not a car for the average collector as it comes with a hefty $575,000 price tag to start with. Well, that's a huge price to pay for you and me, but John Cena can easily afford it, which is why he has one of these beauties in his garage.

Depending on who you're talking to, this thing's top speed can range from 170 to 186 mph (Lamborghini report). Other companies say the 186 mph report is fake, but Lamborghini backs up their claim.

What does Cena say to people who claim wrestling is fake? “Perhaps wrestling, dollar for dollar, is the best money you can spend on entertainment. … We give you the brutal physicality of the best athletes in the business. At the same time, we will make you laugh and cry. We tell you a story. We make it a fun experience for everyone. It has the energy of a live rock concert and the violence of a football game. Anyone who says that what we are doing is fake, please spend half an hour with me in the ring." Um, no thanks!

5 Bill Goldberg's 1970 Pontiac Trans Am Ram Air IV

Bill Goldberg doesn't just love collecting muscle cars. He enjoys collecting these rare finds to make his collection even more valuable. Anyone who collects anything pursues this goal, but Goldberg succeeded in this. Getting to know his 1970 Boss Mustang confirms that for you. He also has another very rare find in his 1970 Pontiac Trans Am Ram Air IV.

What makes this stunning car such a rare find is the fact that it has a Ram Air III body. It is not known how many of these were made, but you can bet the number is pretty low. All you need to know about how rare it is is that it belongs to Goldberg.

He said he loved the 1970 Trans Am since childhood. “The first car I ever tested on was a 70 blue and blue Trans Am. This is a blue-and-blue Trans Am from the '70s. But it was so fast, when we tested it at the age of 16, my mom looked at me and said, "You will never buy this car." and what's even better, he got one of the rarest versions in the world. Good job son!

4 Ferrari 599 by John Cena

Anyone with the money to put together a good car collection should have a Ferrari in their garage. John loves muscle cars and there is nothing wrong with that because they are beautiful cars. But if you have money and collect cars, you need three things: Lamborghini, Ferrari and Maserati. John has one of each, as you would expect.

Here you can see his beautiful Ferrari 599 and he is obviously very proud of it, and with good reason. With a MSRP of over $320,000, anyone who owns one should be damn proud. Next to him in the garage is a cheaper Maserati. This one starts at just $73,000,XNUMX.

Ferrari looks like he might be on steroids. What does John think about steroids in WWE? He told My Dayton Daily News a couple of years ago that "WWE just set its drug and health policy in place because it had a problem with it. Now, as a company, we have the same substance abuse police as the NFL and NBA. If you get caught once, 30 days ban. Caught twice, suspended for 60 days. If you get caught three times, you don't have a job anymore." This is a position that Cena strongly believes in.

3 Bill Goldberg's 1973 Super-Duty Trans Am

When you look at this amazing car, you have to wonder why Bill Goldberg only gave it a seven out of XNUMX rating. Well, it turns out that he loves the car itself, he just doesn't like the one in his garage because it's red. It was never a color he liked.

He says that the one he has is very rare and therefore worth having, it would just be better if it was any other color. “I think they made 152 of these cars, with automatic transmission, air conditioning, super power car – something like the last year of powerful engines.” He added that the collector's value largely depends on the color. If a collector has a particular car in mind that he wants, in some cases he will actually reject it if that color doesn't suit that particular model.

You usually don't want to repaint a beauty like this, but Goldberg has enough money to get the job done right, so people most likely won't even know it's been done. Red is a pretty popular color, although he personally doesn't like it. Maybe he should keep it red and just sell it to replenish his bank account?

2 John Cena's 2017 Ford GT

Like any car collector, John buys and sells some of his own. But when he sold his custom 2017 Ford GT "Super Car", Ford wasn't happy at all and sued him. They filed a lawsuit in a Michigan court for breach of the terms of his contract with the company.

Ford said the reason for the lawsuit was that "Mr. Cena unfairly profited heavily from the unauthorized resale of the vehicle, and Ford suffered additional damages and losses including, but not limited to, loss of brand value, ambassadorial activity, and customer reputation due to the improper sale.” Apparently they made this $500,000 car for him to show off and have in his collection. It's understandable that they wouldn't want to invest that kind of money and effort into something that had to be sold once the customer had it in their hands. It is said that the contract signed by Sina stated that he had to own the car for two years.

Cena responded to this lawsuit by saying, “I fully understand and, as stated, I am willing to work with Ford to make things right. My sincere apologies." You can bet the apology came from a discussion with Vince McMahon, who doesn't like bad reviews in any form.

He stayed in his collection for a short time, but officially became part of it for a few days.

1 Bill Goldberg's 1969 Chevy Blazer Convertible

This is not the car you might expect from Bill Goldberg's car collection. However, it offers a lot of options not found in its other very expensive cars; room for the whole family. He can't take his wife, kids and dogs to the beach in his Trans Am, Camaro or Jaguar, well, at least not very comfortable!

The 1969 Chevy Blazer convertible is roomy and comfortable for the whole family, including dogs, each weighing a healthy hundred pounds. Everything you need for a great day at the beach or maybe a picnic on the lake can fit in the back of this well-restored Blazer, even if it's not the best on gas.

To make a good day even better, all Bill has to do is take off his outerwear and the whole family will have a complete picture of a beautiful day in the sun from the moment they leave the house until they return that evening. It's one of Goldberg's favorite pieces, simply because he can use it to bring together whatever he loves; his wife, his kids, his dogs and a great vintage car!
