Richard Rawlings started building his collection long before the cameras were rolling.
When he launched Gas Monkey Garage in Dallas, his reputation for restoring and flipping classic cars was already growing.
The garage became famous through the show Fast N’ Loud, and the vehicles featured on screen became stars in their own right.
This exposure helped Rawlings grow his collection into one of the most recognizable car collections in Texas.
One of the most iconic pieces in the collection was the 1964 Ford Model T Custom King T, which sold for $75,000.
Other highlights included a 1965 Ford Mustang fastback KC code, a 1962 Chevrolet Corvette, and a 1978 Porsche 928.
These classic cars weren’t just restored -they were reborn, often modified to meet Rawlings’ bold standards.
Even after listing 28 vehicles for auction, Rawlings kept several prized machines.
A 1970 Dodge Challenger with a 383 Magnum V8 remains in his garage, as does a 2015 Dodge Challenger Hellcat pushing 707 horsepower.
Each car tells a story about what makes car collections in Texas so compelling.
Muscle, history, and style.
One of the most unique entries is a 1968 Shelby Mustang convertible modified for off-road use.
Inspired by The Thomas Crown Affair, it features large tires and rugged detailing.
Another standout is a 1977 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, capturing the essence of 1970s American performance with vintage appeal and serious power.
Richard Rawlings has turned his Gas Monkey Garage success into a lifestyle, and his collection is the centerpiece.
While many vehicles have passed through his hands, the ones he’s kept reflect personal milestones and professional triumphs.
Classic cars are more than a business for Rawlings, they’re part of his identity.
Through vision, timing, and sheer hustle, Rawlings has built one of the most fascinating car collections in Texas.
With every project, every auction, and every new addition, he keeps the spirit of classic cars alive.
For fans of Richard Rawlings and the legacy of Gas Monkey Garage, this collection is a living tribute to passion and performance.
