Fast N' Loud is a favorite TV show of petrolheads everywhere. It revolves around crazy project cars built by Gas Monkey Garage, owned by Richard Rawlings. Richard's impressive private collection of classic cars includes everything from prestigious modern supercars all the way to crazy hot rods from the 30s, vintage race cars, and even precious one-offs. Continue reading to get a look at these incredible vehicles...
1959 Chevrolet Corvette
This original first-generation Chevrolet Corvette simply had to join Richard Rawlings' private car collection.
The star purchased it for just $17,000 after he had seen it listed on Craigslist. It did not run at the time, but he quickly restored it back to its former glory.

Ferrari 599 GTB
Though the 599 GTB may not be the latest or the quickest Ferrari of all time, it still is an absolute show-stopper.
This supercar saw a short production run limited to just 3500 units worldwide. This stunning grand tourer packs a 6.0L V12 rated at a whopping 612 horsepower.
Pontiac Trans Am
Richard Rawlings is a massive fan of Smokey and The Bandit. A part of his workshop is even dedicated solely to the famous movie. It would only make sense for Rawlings to own a 1977 Pontiac Trans Am.
Despite his love for Smokey and The Bandit, Rawlings' Firebird is not an exact replica.
Ferrari 488 Spider
Although Richard Rawlings could not resist purchasing at least a couple of modern supercars. Among them is the Ferrari 488 Spider.
This Italian supercar packs a 661-horsepower twin-turbocharged V8 mounted behind the driver. The retractable roof is ideal for those hot summer days, too.
1965 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350
The '65 Mustang Shelby GT350 is perhaps the most meaningful vehicle owned by Richard Rawlings. The car once belonged to his father.
The vehicle remains unrestored, as Rawlings prefers to keep it in exactly the same shape as he had found it in his father's garage.
Polaris Slingshot
The Slingshot is just as unique as a custom hot rod, despite being mass-produced.
Most experts consider it to be a three-wheeled motorcycle. There is no doubt that it must be an absolute blast to drive.
Lamborghini Aventador Huber Era
This insane Lamborghini Aventador is one of the latest additions to Richard Rawlings' impressive garage. A quick peek is enough to understand that this isn't a regular Aventador. It's rather special, to say the least.
The base-level LP700-4 may have gotten a little outdated by now, hence Rawlings' unit was fitted with a carbon fiber body kit from Huber Era. This 770-horsepower monstrosity is a truly bespoke, one-of-a-kind supercar.
Ford GT
Ford unveiled the GT, a sleek sports car inspired by the legendary Ford GT40 race car from the 60s, back in 2004. Production was limited to just 4038 examples worldwide, and Rawlings is among the lucky owners.
Naturally, the unit owned by Richard Rawlings is unlike any other GT out there. The previous owner crashed the car and ended up damaging its front end. While fixing it up, Rawlings decided to upgrade its powerplant by adding a 4.0L supercharger and performance camshafts.
Ram TRX
Fans of Fast N' Loud will probably remember a 2015 Ram 2500 that was Richard Rawlings' daily driver. Earlier this year, the owner of Gas Monkey Garage decided it was high time for an upgrade. The Insane Ram TRX proved to be the perfect pick.
The 2021 Ram TRX is an insane 702-horsepower pickup truck that's built for crazy off-roading action. Rawlings' blacked-out unit ideally matches the aggressive styling of the truck.
1932 Ford 3 Window
By now, it should be pretty apparent that Richard Rawlings is a big fan of hot rods based on vintage automobiles from the 30s. After all, some of the most notable projects built by Gas Monkey Garage are incredible, over-the-top rat rods. It would only make sense for Rawlings to keep a few of them in his private collection, too.
Rawlings' 1932 Ford 3 Window is unlike any other rat rod, though. It's loaded with modern comfort features, such as A/C and a Bluetooth radio. Its loud V8 motor packs a punch, too.
Dodge Challenger SRT Demon
A sweet Challenger SRT Demon is yet another powerful car owned by Richard Rawlings. At the time of its debut, it was the fastest production car in the world. Its 840-horsepower supercharged V8 can crank it up to 60 miles per hour in as little as 2.3 seconds.
Walking into a Dodge dealership and purchasing a brand new Demon would have been too simple for the owner of Gas Monkey Garage. Instead, he built his dream SRT Demon from three different units. The car lacks a VIN number as a result, hence it can never be homologated. It makes for an astounding race car, though.
1932 Ford 5-Window
A Ford 5-Window is yet another vehicle from the 1930s that's owned by Richard Rawlings. Naturally, it's a custom hot rod. Interestingly, this hot rod was not built in-house by Gas Monkey Garage. Instead, the project was completed by a friend of Rawlings.
This particular 5-Window was very sought-after and nearly impossible to get a hold of, but Richard Rawlings eventually managed to purchase it. It proudly sits as a part of his impressive car collection.
Ford GT
A brand new Ford GT is yet another modern supercar owned by the star of Fast N' Loud. The previously mentioned first-gen unit must have not been enough, hence Rawlings decided to add a second-gen to his private collection as well.
The 2020 Ford GT makes anywhere between 647 and 700 horsepower from its 3.5L EcoBoost V6 motor, depending on the version. Production is strictly limited to just 250 units annually. It has been on the market since 2016 and remains one of the hottest modern supercars money can buy.
Zimmer Quicksilver
This may just be the rarest vehicle owned by the star of Fast N' Loud, except for his custom hot rods of course. In fact, there is a great chance that you have never even heard of this quirky model built by Zimmer.
The Quicksilver is essentially a heavily modified Pontiac Fiero. Though it features a unique body, there are subtle design cues that are a dead giveaway that the Quicksilver is indeed based on a Fiero. Less than 200 units were built between 1984 and 1988, and coming across one today is next to impossible.
1965 Ford Mustang
Let's be honest, who wouldn't want to own a pristine first-gen Ford Mustang? The one owned by Richard Rawlings looks as if it had just left the assembly line. It's in ideal condition both inside and out.
Rawlings couldn't just have a regular '65 Mustang, though. His example is a rare K-code variant, fitted with the 289-cubic inch V8 which was more powerful than the base model. In addition, the powerplant was modified to make more power and mated to a 5-speed transmission, as opposed to the stock 4-speed.
