Legendary boxer George Foreman parting with 50-plus car collection

George Forman might be best known for his two Olympic gold medals, prowess in the ring and the grill that bears his name, but he’s also apparently an avid car collector.

“I have been a car collector and enthusiast most of my life,” Forman says “but the time has come for me to share my cars with other like-minded enthusiasts. Being able to offer them to the more than million-strong Hagerty audience is the best way to ensure they get the attention they deserve.”

The collection of 52 cars features something for just about everyone, like a Ford Model A, a Ferrari Testarossa, a BMW Z8 and even a Callaway Corvette.

Is a George Foreman grill included with each car? That would seal the deal. Just sayin'.

Interesting, I never heard before that he had a car collection. Looks like he had a wide variety of tastes.

Ok, the piercing on the wing of the new beetle is pretty hilarious. Ex-Dennis Rodman, which also explains the....uhm...questionable paint and upholstery choices.

Champ definitely had a thing for big/flashy convertibles to go with his personality.

Some good deals there, at the moment. J.A., there's a blue Eldo to go with your red one!
and $12k for the Z8, I'll take it!

I have my fill for 1970s Cadillacs right now. If I get another, it's going to be a bit more modern ... or older ... hey, there's a '95 Eldorado. Hmm... Yes, I'm sticking to my guns. I have my fill.

But wait, there's this Plymouth Prowler, which is a former Dennis Rodman car, too. 1999 Plymouth Prowler Auction | Hagerty Marketplace .
