Richard Rawlings Dodge Challenger Hellcat Stolen

Richard Rawlings, owner of Gas Monkey Garage and larger-than-life star of TV’s Fast N’ Loud has suffered the theft of one of his prize muscle cars.

Rawlings announced on social media that the Dodge Challenger Hellcat had been stolen overnight, with a reward offered for information to help recover it.

Painted black, with black wheels and black interior, this particular Hellcat belongs to Rawlings’ wife, Sue. A priceless photo featuring Sue Rawlings and her son was left inside the car, making the need to recover the Hellcat even more pertinent.

The 707-horsepower Hellcat, powered by a supercharged Hemi V8 engine, has made numerous appearances in the Discovery Channel show across its 14 seasons. Most typically, the Hellcat has been seen with smoke pouring from the rear wheels as Rawlings completes yet another burnout.

First launched in 2015, the Challenger Hellcat has gained a cult following with muscle car fans, thanks to the combination of retro-inspired styling and supercar rivalling performance.

The success of both Gas Monkey Garage and the Fast N’ Loud TV series has seen Rawlings amass a wide a varied car collection. Ranging from Ferraris and Lamborghinis, to a replica of the Ford Shelby GT500 used in the Thomas Crown Affair movie, his collection is certainly diverse.
