Chris Bumstead, now 29, has retired from professional bodybuilding but continues to captivate his audience with his lifestyle and interests, including his remarkable car collection. Known for being an IFBB North American Bodybuilding Championship winner, he has been sharing bodybuilding insights through his YouTube channel for over a decade, amassing over 4 million followers. However, CBum's passion for automobiles often takes a backseat in his content. 

Here at VIPfortunes, we've decided to explore the vehicles inside his garage, showcasing a variety of brands like Chevrolet, Porsche, RAM, Nissan, and Ford. This dive into his car collection aims to give his fans a clearer picture of what drives Mr. Olympia, beyond his commitment to fitness and love for his family.


6. 1978 Ford F-150 Lariat Edition   

Chris Bumstead's Car Collection

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.


5. 2019 Ram 1500 Rebel 4X4

Chris Bumstead's Car Collection

Chris Bumstead, popularly known as Cbum, often showcases his RAM 1500 Rebel truck as a backdrop in his Instagram posts, using it to announce and promote his brand's products to his followers. The RAM 1500 Rebel is the epitome of boldness, strength, and durability, characteristics that perfectly align with Cbum's professional bodybuilder essence.

With its exceptional off-road capabilities, the RAM 1500 Rebel isn't just an excellent choice for Cbum even after retiring from the sport; it's a gateway to his adventurous side in rugged terrains. This truck isn't just about looks; it resonates with his journey and lifestyle. Whether Chris Bumstead is showcasing his products or simply enjoying the outdoors, the RAM 1500 Rebel complements his adventurous spirit.


4. 2018 Nissan GT-R

CBum's special Japanese possession, the 2018 Nissan GT-R (Grans Tourismo-Racing), enriches his garage in terms of speed and quick acceleration. Chris Bumstead has this GT-R automobile in a dark blue shade.

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. 


3. 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.

Owning a Porsche is a dream for many, and when it comes to the Porsche 911 GT3, fans of Cbum agree that this supercar is a perfect fit for the professional bodybuilder's garage. Despite his attitude of not being too materialistic, the appeal of driving such an iconic vehicle like the Porsche 911 GT3 is a dream many can relate to.


2. 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS

The Chevrolet Camaro stands out as one of the most iconic vehicles in Chris Bumstead's collection, adding both a vintage charm and a dynamic spirit to his garage. In 2024, he frequently shared images of this classic 1969 Camaro on his social media platforms.

One particularly touching moment captured with this backdrop involves Bumstead alongside his partner, Courtney King, the 2016 Olympia bikini champion, as they announced their first child. The caption from the post humorously reads, "We’re going to have to teach our baby to not be as lazy as I was,".


1. Toyota Corolla

This Toyota Corolla hails from its 2005-07 generation, and there's a publicly available video from 2016 where Cbum jumps onto its roof, showcasing the durability of this nearly vintage car under his considerable weight.

You can find this entertaining video on Cbum's Instagram, where he humorously comments, "The weird shit I get into when I have nothing to do all day," giving fans a glimpse into what the professional bodybuilder does when he has nothing to do.


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.

Price $67,000
Powertrain6.2L Supercharged V8
Horsepower 707 HP @ 6200 RPM
Torque 650 LB-FT @ 4800 RPM
Transmission6-speed manual
0-60 MPH3.7 seconds
Top Speed 199 MPH

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?
