**The Most Insane and Controversial Car Builds of All Time**

In this article, we'll take a look at some of the most outrageous car builds that will leave you speechless. From a Ferrari F40 to a Ford Ranchero, these cars have been modified in ways that defy imagination.

**Ferrari F40: A $400,000 Wrecked Shell Turned into a Speed Demon**

The story begins with a wrecked Ferrari F40 shell worth $400,000, which was then modified over the course of a month to make it faster and lighter than an original F40. The team dropped another $700,000 on repairs and modifications, painting it black and slapping on some sick wheels. They then sold it at auction to baseball player Reggie Jackson, who later lost even more money selling it.

**Ford Ranchero: A Batmobile-Inspired Beauty**

The Ford Ranchero was transformed into a Batmobile-inspired beauty by Leo, a skilled builder. The car was built for the owner of Dub Magazine and featured ginormous wheels, quilted leather interior, and tribal flames. It was later sold on eBay for an absolute steal at $35,000.

**Diesel Brothers: A Sumersault Truck**

The Diesel Brothers took it to the next level with their sumersault truck, which had its wheelbase shortened and a bunch of tubes welded on the outside. When you slam on the brakes, the car does a flip - but we're not quite sure why! The amount of planning, cutting, fabricating, and science required to make this work is mind-boggling.

**West Coast Customs: Pimp My Ride**

Pimp My Ride was a TV show that spawned a ton of imitators. It featured Hawk, the boss, finding someone with a sad, beat-up car and pimping it out to suit their specific taste. One of the wildest builds from the show was a 1991 Ford Escort, which had its body spray-painted, dashboard mostly missing, and AC replaced with a house fan plugged into a power inverter.

**Pimp My Ride: The Most Unhinged Build Show Ever**

The Ford Escort was grafted with an E36 M3 front end, rear end body swap from a Mercedes CLK, 18in chrome wheels, rain-sensing sunroof, and four TV screens. The back seat was replaced with 15in subs - it's a lot of show! Despite making no mechanical improvements to the original 88-horsepower drivetrain, this Escort just got pimped.

In conclusion, these car builds are truly out of hand and will leave you speechless.

below Jerry no cheating dude one of the earliest and most out of hand modding shows was a little series called Monster Garage the premise was simple team had just $3,000 in 7 days to turn an ordinary car into a monster machine but there were rules because contrary to popular belief monsters have rules it had to look like a car on the outside but have a secret hidden function you know like a monster like this totally normal school bus pontoon boat or this cop car that d as a donut shop cuz cops love donuts but one of the sickest builds from Monster Garage was called switchblade fox body Mustang that was also the world's fastest lawnmower all right the team installed a functional 48 in mower deck hidden below the trunk that meant the builders had to re-root the exhaust to the most logical place that you could think right behind the driver's head and then they modify that to shoot Flames which is a good idea and of course it had candy apple green paint job with flames and 100 spoke gold wheels Jeremiah would love this thing after it was on the show switchblade sold at Barrett Jackson for an astonishing mindblowing price $8,000 which is cheaper than my lawn mower I don't even have a lawn somehow this is the least out ofhand car on this list next up we got got one of the most iconic car TV shows I'm talking about overhauling the premise alone is bat crap bananas all right they would pretend to steal someone's unrestored classic car I'm sure a lot of you out there have non-running project cars Nolan oh I guess I do too imagine if someone stole it you'd be beside yourself all right so they'd steal the car and as the owner was worried out of their mind probably calling the cops and stuff chip fous and his gang of little stinkers went full Resto mod overhaul on its little car hiney one of those cars was this 1968 Olds 442 one of the goated muscle cars of the era Overhaulin kidnapped it restored it with a very period correct orange and silver paint job big chrome wheels modern interior and suspension and of course a sound system with L because if you like muscle cars you like th but what you didn't see is how the crew like really bungled the hell out of this thing according to the owner of the 442 the overhaul and crew took the car for a joy ride and ended up overheating the engine and the transmission then these little stinkers power washed the engine and somehow got water into the oil it also fried all the electronics now when the owner discovered these issues nobody from the show would return his calls he was forced to fix the car himself because of the insanity of that story that makes this car just a little bit more out of hand but not as out of hand as our next show Trick my truck this show aired on the country music channel and focused on big Burly rigs tricked out by the Chrome Shop Mafia which is a sick name it even spawned a spin-off called trick my trucker where out of shake truck drivers were taught how to exercise eat right and were given a style makeover when truckers see my hair they are definitely jealous I haven't on a died for a little while it's called the ice cream d one of their most out ofand builds was this tribute to Gravedigger because the owner of the car was named Matthew Graves get it they gave it the same treatment as most of the trucks they modified a bat crap below to Chrome underglow and a big old goofy old paint job and they made sure to make it slightly different from the actual Gravedigger so they didn't get sued needless to say this show is certifiably out of hand my truck is my life and my life's about to change but I doubt any of you will be surprised that it gets way more out of hand from there turns out America wasn't the only country televising ridiculous custom builds in the early 2000 you don't believe me why when have I ever lied to you let me introduce you to a little show called Chop Shop London garage no I'm not talking about Stakes although I wish I was you see this 19 1988 Saab 900 turbo pretty normal looking right well that didn't sit right with leeu Alia the host of the show he decided to build it into a quote a Grand Prix gangster car worthy of any Grand Theft what does that mean I don't know this is what it turned into besides the body kit they also built the engine up to make 350 Herz Pur and during its unveiling it did what modified cars do it freaking broke eventually this car was sold to members of Volkswagen forum who decided to put it out of its misery by crushing it with a monster truck sick so I guess you could say it's out of hand but somehow guys somehow we still have more out ofhand cars left to go our next show was called trick it out MTV's tuner Challenge and unlike most normal build shows this show pitted teams of car builders against each other in a buildoff where the winners got to keep both cars the teams had 10 days and 15 grand to make the sickest build they could and this is what they came up with this EK Honda Civic hatch sits on 24in Chrome Dub quatros with airbag suspension quilted red leather interior a 3,000 WT stereo and a giant flat screen in the hatch they painted it in every primary color and grafted the front end from a Nissan on syvia onto it also completely understandably they attached the wheelie bar okay despite the fact that it's front-wheel drive and they didn't do anything to the engine if anyone knows where this car is today don't tell me I don't want to know up next is a more recent show that you may have heard of I'm talking about Fast and Loud it followed the crew at Gas Monkey Garage who specialize in restoring barn finds and wck Exotics one of the most insane and controversial cars they ever built was a Ferrari F40 a car that nobody in their right mind would or should modify they started with a wrecked shell that cost $400,000 and over the next month they dropped another 700 Grand repairing and modifying it to be faster and lighter than an original F40 they painted it black and slapped some sick hre wheels on it then they called it a day the purpose of the show was to sell each car for a profit but they ended up losing 350 Grand after selling it uh at auction to baseball player Reggie Jackson then Reggie sold it and lost even more money then the guy he sold it to got arrested for fraud when the car was seized by the government and that that's what I call down right out of hand speaking of builds we're building a couple of new cars right now Halo coming soon every Friday new cars same Joe guys can we all agree to get back to business our next outrageous build show features Pitbull no not Mr worldwide I'm talking about Steve Pitbull he teamed up with that guy leeo who built that beautiful sa we looked at earlier their show was called leoo and Pit Bull their idea of Tastefully modified cars looks like this but one of their most out ofand builds was this Ford Ranchero they didn't think it looked enough like a Batmobile Dodge Charger pickup truck so Leo rolled up his sleeves got to work and produced this be of you it was built for the owner of dub magazine so of course it also had ginormous Wheels a quilted leather custom interior and best of all tribal Flames what's even more out of hand was that he sold it on eBay later for an absolute steal of $35,000 Now That's What I Call out of hand we're almost to the end folks next up is a show about rolling coal and having beards I'm talking about the diesel Brothers not to be confused with the British spin-off the petrol BRS one of their craziest builds was the sumersault truck they shortened the wheelbase and welded on a bunch of tubes on the outside so when you slam on the brakes car do a flip why I don't know did I I don't know if you know don't tell me it'll ruin it for me I love this thing look at it woohoo the most out ofhand part of this is the amount of planning cutting fabricating and science stuff to make it work properly and yeah I've heard of rolling Cole before but this is out of hand that brings us to the most out ofhand build show of all time it takes place at a little mom and pop mechanic shop by the name of West Coast Customs it's my Cali accent you may have heard about it it's called Pimp My Rock the boss Hawk of early 2000s TV shows it spawned a ton of imitators it even had its own video game the premise find someone with a completely sad beat up car and pimp it out modifying it to suit the owner's specific taste one of the wildest builds that come from Pimp My Ride was a 1991 Ford Escort it was in rough shape okay the body had been spray painted the dashboard was mostly missing instead of working AC had a house fan plugged into a power inverter since the owner was a hip-hop dance instructor who wanted to start their own band exhibit and his team decided she needed something that exuded a bit more style in class than a fora scort so they grafted an E36 M3 front end onto the car did a rear end body swap from a Mercedes CLK installed 18in chrome wheels a rain sensing sunroof four TV screens replac the back back seat with 15in Subs that's a lot of show they made no mechanical improvements whatsoever to the original 88
