Fast N' Loud — Season 9
The new season explodes onto the scene with Richard and Aaron stumbling upon an incredible '55 Chevy – a golden opportunity just in time for the Barrett-Jackson Northeast auction. The team’s clock is ticking as they race against the deadline to transform this rough diamond into a show-stopping classic, hoping Richard can bring it to auction and score a serious payday. While the Gas Monkey Garage crew tackles the build, Aaron throws himself back into the heart-pounding challenge of Pike's Peak, and Richard expands his empire with a brand new Gas Monkey Bar & Grill in Key West, Florida. Later, the team dives into a series of iconic builds – from an '80 El Camino to a classic '65 VW – while Richard takes a trip down memory lane. He’s rebuilding his very first high school car, a ‘74 Comet, a hot rod he always dreamed of owning. And in a fan-fulfilling moment, a Smokey and the Bandit enthusiast tracks down another piece of Richard's past: a vibrant Red Trans Am from his youth. But the biggest challenge yet looms – the Gas Monkey Crew is taking on their most ambitious project ever: building a full-blown race car. Now, all they need is someone brave enough to take it on.

With a long-awaited vacation on the horizon, he and Richard enlisted the Monkeys to meticulously restore a 1965 Volkswagen Beetle, ensuring it received the most careful attention.
Having completed one hundred episodes of *Fast n' Loud*, Richard and Aaron celebrate the past, present, and future of Gas Monkey Garage with a star-studded party.
Richard, on vacation, allowed the Gas Monkeys to transform his first car – a 1974 Mercury Comet, a shade of vomit green from his high school days – with their signature flair.
The news landed with a jarring thud. Richard was quitting. The words hung in the air, heavy and unexpected, moments after he’d accepted Big Chief’s challenge – a drag strip showdown that had been brewing for months. Suddenly, the familiar …
The roar of the engine was a promise, a challenge, a prayer. Now, only silence. Richard surveyed the wreckage of his Challenger, the crumpled metal a stark testament to ambition and risk. The final test run had ended not in victory, but…
