If we're to give credence to the best automotive reality shows of all time, Discovery's Fast N' Loud would creep into the top 10. This show premiered in 2012, showcasing the stellar car transformations facilitated by the crew of Texas-based Gas Monkey Garage, a restoration outfit spearheaded by Richard Rawlings. Although the GMG band consistently revamped junk cars into mesmeric art pieces for 16 consecutive Fast N' Loud seasons, the show got canceled in 2020 after Rawlings decided to chase his dreams without limitations.

Richard Rawlings and the GMG team that made Fast N' Loud a success during its storied run understand the inner workings of vehicles to a "T." And besides facilitating the stellar modification of automobiles, the cast also had fascinating vehicles sitting in their personal garages. In this article, we'll lay emphasis on the coolest cars ever owned by the Gas Monkey Garage crew. Let's hit the ground running!

10 Richard Rawlings: 1989 Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary Edition

As a car collector, Richard Rawlings knows his cars. The Gas Monkey Garage owner recently made headlines for selling his car collection in a deal rated at over $20 million. But this doesn't dispute the fact that he's owned some amazing rides, the prestigious 1989 Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary Edition being one of many.

The '89 Countach owned by Rawlings is draped in black. Aesthetically, the vehicle looks sporty and classy, a combination that isn't surprising in the slightest since the Countach 25th Anniversary Edition was designed by the revered Horacio Pagani.

Underneath the '89 Countach's hood lies a 5.2-liter engine that delivers an incredible 455 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque. As such, the 1989 Lamborghini Countach could reach a maximum top speed of 186 MPH and achieve a sublime 0 to 60 mph time of 4.2 seconds.

9 Richard Rawlings: 1968 Shelby Mustang GT350

The 1968 Shelby Mustang GT350 is one of Richard Rawlings' favorites. But there's some history behind it. For starters, Rawlings shared the vehicle with his ex-wife. However, after running into a financial debacle, he sold it to garner funds — an act that'll infuriate his wife. And while he subsequently purchased another to calm her nerves, Rawlings finally took ownership of the '68 Mustang GT350 after she'd let him keep it after their second divorce.

The 1968 Shelby Mustang GT350 cemented itself as a high-performance racing car with a 302 cubic-inch V8 powerplant that could seamlessly churn out 250 horses and 310 lb-ft of torque. The car further etches itself as a rare barn find, as only 1,457 units were curated for 1968.

8 Richard Rawlings: 1967 Pontiac Firebirds

During the Fast N' Loud series, Rawlings and the GMG crew routinely encountered some amazing classic cars. Among the many were a pair of 1967 Pontiac Firebirds. Although these cars were found in an abandoned barn, they weren't run-of-the-mill Firebirds. After cross-checking their VINs, these Pontiac Firebirds turned out to be the first and second iterations used by General Motors to see if manufacturing the Firebird was a feasible idea.

Firebird 1 had a red-colored exterior and interior alongside a L30 326 cubic-inch V8 paired with a Powerglide 2-speed automatic transmission. On the flip side of proceedings, Firebird 2 had a silver exterior and black interior; however, it wielded the "High Output" iteration of the 326 cubic-inch V8 engine mated to a 4-speed manual transmission.

Upon collection, Rawlings and the Gas Monkey Garage crew restored both Firebirds. Although he finally sold them for $650,000, the GMG boss held on to these rare beauties for a while as earlier bids didn't tally the threshold he sought.

7 Richard Rawlings: 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T

The 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T ranks as one of the most revered muscle cars of its generation and turns heads with its menacing front grille, shaker hood scoop, and a design that denotes the blend of classical and contemporary.

Rawlings transformed one into something "beastly" by infusing a Hellcat engine that could put out a heart-stopping 707 galloping horses. This automobile just underpins Rawlings' love for American muscle cars; little wonder it's one of his favorites.

6 Dennis Collins: 1958 Austin-Healey "Goldie"

Dennis Collins is a star-studded figure in the automotive industry. Besides starring in Discovery's Fast N' Loud series, he's known for collecting and restoring the rarest vehicles. Although he has hundreds of rusty vintage cars in his possession, there's one that's all shades of neat and possibly his favorite — the 1958 Austin-Healey 100-Six.

Also tagged "Goldie," this 1958 Austin-Healey 100-Six was originally manufactured to serve as Austin-Healey's promotional car that featured at the 1958 London Motors Show held at Earl's Court. Afterward, it became a contest car won by the Daily Express.

The '58 Austin-Healey Goldie was a one-off non-production vehicle that wielded all the luxury a car could possess at the time of its inception. However, after going through several owners, Dennis Collins finally wrapped his hands around it and restored it to its former glory — however, a ton of gold plating was involved.

5 Dennis Collins: 1968 Porsche 912

Another cool car in Dennis Collins' collection is the 1968 Porsche 912 Targa soft window. Porsche's soft window Targa configuration was an embodiment of innovation that first appeared on the Porsche 911 in 1966. The sole purpose of this add-on was to let the sports car deliver an unrivaled open-air experience without affecting its architectural rigidity.

Although the Porsche 912 had a four-year (1965 to 1969) run for its first generation, the Targa set-up was introduced in 1967. That said, the 912 was tagged the "inexpensive 911" that wielded a dialed back air-cooled 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine that could put out 90 horses and 90 lb-ft of torque. While these numbers aren't goosebump-inducing, Dennis Collins deems the 1968 Porsche 912 a noteworthy addition to his "almost complete" collection.

4 Dennis Collins: 1990 Ford Mustang LX 7-Up Edition Convertible

The 1990 Ford Mustang LX 7-Up Edition convertible was born when Ford and 7-Up joined forces for an NCAA basketball contest that revolved around sinking a bucket from the center court to win a 7-Up themed 1990 Ford Mustang LX. And while the deal fell through, Ford had already gone through with the designs. Instead of counting their losses, the Blue Oval automaker took advantage of the failed contract and built a total of 4,103 units (2,743 had automatic transmissions while 1,360 fielded a manual transmission).

Dennis Collins' 1990 Ford Mustang LX 7-Up Edition convertible hosts the HO (High Output) 5.0-liter V8 that generates 225 horsepower and 300 lb-ft of torque. Additionally, this 1990 Ford Mustang LX integrates a white interior featuring leather sports seats, a white convertible top, and 15" GT turbine wheels.

3 Dennis Collins: 2013 Lamborghini Super Trofeo

A 21st-century supercar adored and owned by Dennis Collins is the 2013 Lamborghini Super Trofeo. Previously owned by a dealership, the ex-GMG crew member managed to scoop this automobile after an interested buyer's bank financing contract failed. But it did come at a price — $400,000 in total (racing rights and car components inclusive).

After purchasing the 2013 Lamborghini Super Trofeo, Collins went the extra mile to make it street-legal by making several modifications, including a 1.5-inch suspension raise, the introduction of street tires, the addition of a passenger seat, relocation of the engine's computer, and the integration of side mirrors. Only 40 iterations of the 2013 Super Trofeo were manufactured by Lamborghini; after all, it was a supercar hosting a 5.2-liter V10 engine that could belt out a mind-boggling 570 horses.

2 Aaron Kaufman: 1963 Ford Falcon

Aaron Kaufman was an instrumental member of the GMG crew before he called it quits in 2017. Also referred to as The Bearded Wonder, Kaufman was respected for his iconic restoration skills. But besides tearing apart and rebuilding cars from scratch, Aaron Kaufman had a taste for revolutionary rides. Although he's had multiple automobiles as a veteran gearhead, the 1963 Ford Falcon ranks among one of his coolest.

Originally conceptualized by Jim Hadden of Shelby Super Snake, the concept 1963 Ford Falcon (also called the 1963 ½ Ford Falcon for integrating the '63s rounder body and an angled top from the '64) was an unfinished ride that found its way to Kaufman. Taking it as a passion project, The Bearded Wonder revamped the ride to give it a shot at the 2016 edition of Pikes Peak International Hill Climb.

Notable add-ons on Kaufman's modified 1963 Ford Falcon included five-point racing harnesses, a collapsible column, racing seats, and a quick-release steering wheel. Although this setup made daily driving seemingly impossible, it saw the '63 Falcon put up mesmeric displays on the racetracks. Aaron Kaufman later sold the transformed 1963 Ford Falcon for $65,000 at Bring A Trailer's auction despite spending over $80,000 on it.

1 KC Mathieu: Frankenstein Ford F-100

KC Mathieu was part of the Fast N' Loud cast until 2015, a timeline where he departed to create his own brand — K.C Paint Shop. However, if we're to pick his coolest car, it'll definitely be the one he'd owned since high school — the 1968 Ford F-100.

KC Mathieu's F-100 was remodeled by the Gas Monkey Garage crew, and the results were so amazing that KC had no other choice than to purchase it. The transformed truck, now tagged "Frankenstein," features a 5.2-liter Ford Voodoo engine built by RPG Racing Engines. KC's F-100 also wields green paint and Budnik Gasser-G wheels. All these add-ons on the 1968 Ford F-100 screams one thing — BADASS! The truck hasn't been featured on any car auction site yet, meaning that KC might still be holding on to it.
