1. Michael ‘Caveman’ Pyle: Harley-Davidson Dyna Street Bob
Michael Pyle, better known as Caveman, is the program’s funniest and liveliest character. He lives a pretty secluded life, not wanting his family to be in the spotlight due to the success of the Netflix show. He adores his Harley-Davidson Dyna Street Bob, which he affectionately refers to as ‘Linda,’ and proudly displays it to the rest of the world.
2. Constance Nunes: 1964.5 Mustang ‘Babystang’
Amateur car mechanic and amateur driver. Constance Nunes owns a 1964.5 Mustang, which is one of the most legendary muscle cars of all time. She bought it herself at the age of 16 by saving up and getting it shipped to her father’s garage.
3. Tony Quinones: Electric Ford PintoTony Quinones: Electric Ford Pinto
Again, electrifying a classic car is Tony Quinones, who took a Ford Pinto and turned it electric. Quinones stated that he wished to build something from the ground up with an electric drive train, and before the Volvo, it was the Pinto. “I am not attempting to save the world. I simply want to haul ass without feeling guilty! “He posted a photo of his electric Ford Pinto on Instagram. Quinones clearly enjoys designing electric-drivetrain vehicles, and the Pinto would allow him to do so in flair.
4. Constance Nunes: Ford BrickNose Farm Truck
Constance has another Ford in her garage, and she enjoys her vintage and classic Blue Oval vehicles. Constance’s Farm Truck’s bodywork was done entirely by Constance herself. She is often seen driving about in her Ford Bricknose truck, which was a series of Ford trucks built between 1987 and 1991. Nunes prefers to refer to it as “the farm truck.”
5. Shawn Pilot: The ‘Vette Kart’
Shawn Pilot’s extremely-modified Corvette Z51 is perhaps the most outlandish car here on this list. Shawn Pilot’s ‘Vette Kart’ is a completely stripped-out Corvette done completely in black and red. Even the rims are red, guaranteeing that the Vette Kart remains two-tone throughout. The rims are also painted brilliant red. Quinones refers to it as his ‘grocery-getter,’ and it has massive tyres that seem like they came from a dunes buggy. With massive tyres that appear to have come straight from a dune buggy. The naked B-pillar of the Vette Kart is also adorned with auxiliary lighting.
6. Constance Nunes: Audi A5
Constance Nunes is the most popular member of the Gotham Garage crew. She has a million Instagram followers, which is more than half a million more than the show itself. Her car of choice is her Ford ‘Babystang,’ a 1964.5 Mustang that she regularly customises to her liking. Constance’s love of German engineering is perhaps best demonstrated by her decision to keep the car stock. She does, however, have a special place for Audi.
7. Tony Quinones: 1972 Volvo P1800
Tony Quinones has a particular interest in igniting ancient cars, and the man appears to have a penchant for the same. Quinones had been working on his 1972 Volvo P1800 for two years, in between Car Masters’ normal outrageous creations.
Quinones ultimately finished the electric P1800 in early 2022, and it is now on the road. The car has a bespoke suspension with Wilwood brakes, two Hyper9 motors, a 3-speed transmission, and a 180V Tesla Battery Pack, and the opening and flared back fenders speak for themselves. The P1800, painted in Ferrari Abu Dhabi Blue, is as eye-catching as it is green!
8. Mark Towle: Late 1969 Mustang
Mark Towle is the only person who can produce something truly unique out of an automobile that has been altered for over a half-century. Any modern Mustang could not possibly look like this, but Towle has come up with something special. Towle’s 1969 Mustang is a significantly customised version of the classic with black paint and fierce red stripes that exudes strength and robustness, and any modern Mustang could not possibly look like this.
