The Gas Monkey Garage icon would like it back and will reward it.
Thieves are a pain, especially when they involve a 707-horsepower Dodge Challenger Hellcat. Richard Rawlings, of Fast N’ Loud fame and Gas Monkey Garage fame, just lost his Hellkitty and seems determined to get it back. The star of television and car-guy is posting a blog on Gas Monkey Garage about his ordeal, asking for help from fans in finding the car.
The blog says that the car was taken on September 26th at 2:30 AM. It was taken from the corner of Northwest Highway & Preston Rd. It was found in Dallas, although we are not given a precise location. However, a quick Google Maps search shows many very luxurious homes in the vicinity. The message stated that the car belonged Sue Rawlings and contained a “priceless picture” of Sue and her child. We car enthusiasts understand the hurt of losing our beloved rides, whether they be a Hellcat or Ford Pinto. We are human beings and we understand the pain of losing something important like a photograph.
From the wheels to interior and roof, the car is all black. Rawlings gives us the license plate number, FCH-1300. However, he also points out that it could be changed. This is the number we would use if we stole a car. This is not the same black Challenger that he ran into while drag racing at the Woodward Dream Cruise. However, it is what car enthusiasts have seen on his show fast N’ loud where burnouts are common. Rawlings will reward the car’s return with a reward.
