In the realm of automotive enthusiasts, few collections command attention like that of Chris Bumstead. Each vehicle tells a story, reflecting not just passion for power and performance but also a deep appreciation for design and heritage. Here, we will explore his lavish collection and learn the stories behind every purchase.


4. 1978 Ford F-150 Lariat Edition   

A truck that would be most prominent in the recent posts on his Instagram handle is the 1978 Ford F-150 Lariat edition. He has it in a navy blue exterior shade. Last year, the Olympia champion gave his followers a glimpse of this car, affectionately named Fordy. In a YouTube video, he officially introduced Fordy to his audience, describing his obsession with classic 70s trucks. He reminisced about seeing them as a kid and how he spent months searching for the perfect model.

“This truck is something I have wanted since I was young and I couldn’t help but grin like a little boy when I first climbed into this rickety old metal box.”

His enthusiasm was clear as he detailed every scratch, dent, and rust-free part of his prized F-150, from its cream-brown leather seats to the powerful big block engine. Even though the truck wasn't in mint condition, CBum embraced its imperfections, appreciating its character and charm. To make the truck ever-confident, he has even added gigantic wheels, making it more durable in all road conditions.


3. 2019 Ram 1500 Rebel 4X4

When you are a crazy fan of square-shaped pickup trucks but have already owned one. So what's left? bringing a new one. CBum drives a Ram 1500 Rebel 4X4 Crew Cab with a pearl white exterior paint job. He purchased this car by selling two of his cars, Challenger and Ford. With two car payments, insurance costs, and the uncertainty of where he would be living in the near future, Bumstead decided it was time to trade in both vehicles.

At Capital Dodge, Bumstead reunited with his friend Josh, who had previously helped him secure two Challengers. Together, they revealed this new edition car has a sleek white design, with a massive 12-inch screen that had been on his wish list since 2018.


2. 2018 Nissan GT-R

Chris Bumstead owns a GT-R vehicle in a dark blue shade. The Japanese manufacturer has adorned the vehicle with utmost engineering and offered an attitude of "the name is enough".

In true CBum fashion, he’s chosen to keep his GT-R in its purest form, resisting the temptation to tweak or modify it. For Bumstead, sometimes the stock version of a powerhouse is all you need. However, there are hardly any details available for Chris’ Nissan and we haven’t seen him flexing the GT-R as much as he does his other cars. 


1. 2023 Porsche 911 GT3

Mr. Olympia completed a high-profile purchase of a 2022 Lava Orange Porsche 911 GT3 through Strada Motorsports. Chris initially connected with Strada Motorsports through their online advertising, and the entire purchase process took place remotely. He requested the dealer to make some modifications like adding a custom Porsche racing decal and deliver the car from Chicago to Florida.

Strada took meticulous care of the vehicle, ensuring every detail was perfect, from decontaminating the car to applying the Porsche decals on the hood, roof, and sides. After a thorough detailing process, the car was given a final wipe-down and spray wax.


Previously Owned: 

2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat

The Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat stands out as a true powerhouse. He owns the striking green version of this muscle car. Chris bought the Challenger in early 2018 but despite the feel of the roaring engine and thrilling driving experience, he didn’t drive it for too long.

He sacrificed the car in 2019 to purchase his Ram 1500 Rebel. The amount of tax and insurance money he was bleeding was too much for him which forced CBum to make the sad decision. The demonic coupe was not the first Challenger that he owned. Chris also had another Dodge Challenger from the same dealer Capital Dodge.


Special Mentions: Tesla

Some reports mistakenly state that CBum owns a 2020 Tesla Model 3. However, he never owned a Tesla for himself, and the white Model 3 that we see him with was for a promotional giveaway for his Raw Nutrition. Mr. Olympia and his team announced on different social media platforms that the sedan would be given to a lucky follower. 
This is not the only time Chris has associated himself with a Tesla. Earlier in 2024, he had a test drive in a CyberTruck. Unfortunately, he didn’t find it interesting enough and refrained from closing a purchase on the electric pickup. Great decision-making abilities coupled with big, artistic muscles, have you ever seen a deadlier combo?
