Take a look inside Kid Rock's private garage with 25 photos

Kid Rock is a person who does nothing without enthusiasm. When a Belgian brewing company bought out the legendary Anheuser-Busch Cos., Kid Rock was so annoyed by the development that he started his own brewing company.

In another case, the Detroit Symphony was in serious financial trouble as early as 2011 when members went on strike over payout issues. The Michigan-born and raised celebrity pulled the strings and staged a fundraising benefit concert to help save the orchestra and secure the future of classical music in Detroit.

And then there is his huge collection of cars. Kid Rock's father owned several car dealerships in Michigan and apparently passed on his love of cars to his son. And when a car enthusiast also happens to be rich, it is inevitable that he will indulge in his passion for cars in a big way.

However, Kid Rock's car collection is not your typical millionaire collection. There are Ferraris, Bugatti, and other expensive hypercars you'd expect, but what's particularly interesting about this collection is that it mostly consists of vintage muscle cars.

Even more interesting is the variety of cars in his collection. Whether you love exotic supercars, classic muscle cars, SUVs or vintage pickup trucks, there is something for every taste in the Kid Rock collection. But if you are a fan of vintage and classic cars, you are in for a real treat.

25 2011 Chevrolet Camaro SS

When most people turn 40, they don't usually get gifted muscle cars, but when your name is Kid Rock, that's exactly what you can expect. NASCAR professional driver Jimmie Johnson gave Kid Rock a modern muscle car during his cowboy 40th birthday.^th Birthday celebration. The Camaro SS was a gift from Chevrolet themselves and was painted black with black wheels and blackwall tires. The number 40 flaunts on the door with the Made In Detroit logo on the rear window. Kid Rock seemed genuinely surprised and delighted by the gift, even asking Johnson if he was being spanked.

24 Custom GMC Sierra 1500 4×4

It shouldn't surprise anyone that someone who brings so many elements of country music into their songs buys a pickup. His black and white GMC Sierra was made especially for him. The supercharged 577-horsepower truck has some of Kid Rock's hallmarks, including a Detroit Cowboy badge. While it looks too good off-road, the GMC is still very capable with a 6-inch lift kit and 20-inch Blak Havoc off-road wheels wrapped in 35-inch Mickey Thompson Baja ATZ tires. An invisible black grille, hood and bumpers complete the package and provide a much-needed contrast to the white exterior.

23 West Coast Customs 1975 Cadillac Limousine

Kid Rock and West Coast Customs teamed up for this vintage build. The classic Cadillac was a pretty powerful cruiser when it left the factory, with a 210-horsepower V8, 151-inch wheelbase and 27-gallon fuel tank. West Coast Customs made the cool Detroit Cadillac even cooler by painting it black and gold. West Coast Customs decked out the cabin with black velor seats with gold stitching, shag carpet and a powerful audio system with a hidden 32-inch TV. Vogue tires and style-matching rims complete the Detroit look of his classic Caddy.

As if being Kid Rock wasn't enough to grab attention, fitting a set of six-foot-wide Texas Longhorns to a 1960s Pontiac should have done it. The 1964 Bonneville was far from the standard car that Kid Rock drove in the video for his patriotic anthem "Born Free". The Pontiac had an interesting history and was owned by Audrey Williams, mother of Hank Williams Jr., before Kid Rock bought it at auction for $225,000. The car was created by famed car tuner and tailor Nudy Cohn, who added Texas horns, a six-shot shifter, and a saddle-like interior with 350 genuine silver dollars invested in it.

21 1930 Cadillac V16

Kid Rock once said that money can't buy taste. He targeted celebrities driving Lamborghini, criticizing them for being boring and stating that his 1930s Cadillac oozes style and class by comparison. He went on to explain that this is a 100-point machine, which means everything about it is absolutely perfect. Even a single scratch will lower its rating to 99, so a vintage black Cadillac is in immaculate condition. Little is known about the history of the car other than the price, which was a little over half a million dollars, which is somewhat fitting given that Cadillac has long been a symbol of prosperity.

20 Slingshot Kid Rock SS-R

By now, you're probably under the impression that Kid Rock owns some pretty unusual vehicles, and you were right. One of the more unusual motorcycles in his collection is The Slingshot Kid Rock SS-R tricycle, built by the snowmobile and motorcycle company Polaris. Beneath the lightweight carbon fiber body is a 2.4 horsepower turbocharged 400-liter E-tec engine. Handling has been greatly improved with road racing anti-roll bars, high performance perforated brake discs, three-way adjustable road racing dampers and lightweight racing wheels and tires. A carbon fiber fender improves aerodynamics and downforce, while racing seats feature custom-embroidered Kid Rock logos.

19 Ford GT 2006

Kid Rock obviously appreciates vintage cars, but he also has some highly coveted modern classics in his collection. One car he rarely shows off is his 2006 Ford GT. Perhaps it has to do with how rare the GT is: Ford only built 4,038 in its entire production run. One thing that is known about the mid-engined two-seater is that he went to the Ford dealer to fix the airbag problem, and Kid Rock's assistant watched the car like a hawk the whole time. Kid Rock's father was the biggest Ford dealer in Michigan, so getting hold of this piece of automotive history probably wasn't too hard.

18 Jesse James - 1962 Chevrolet Impala.

This bright blue 1962 Chevrolet Impala is a car show favorite and is often displayed next to the Kid Rocks Pontiac Bonneville. The custom build was done by Jesse James of the Austin Speed ​​Shop and West Coast Choppers. The highlight of the Impala is undoubtedly the big 409 V8 engine with twin quad carburetors mated to a 409 speed manual transmission. The engine was known as the 409 because it produced XNUMX horsepower. The engine was so popular that The Beach Boys wrote a song about it. The Impala quickly became a favorite on the drag strip and a legendary muscle car.

The 1979 Pontiac Trans Am is another vintage classic that has appeared in several films, including Joe Dirt, and Kid Rock made a cameo appearance as Robbie, a Trans Am bully who could barely read. In the film, Kid Rock drove a Pontiac Trans Am. This is a case of art imitating life because Kid Rock owns a pristine example of a car. Total 7,500 10^th commemorative models rolled off the assembly line, and only 1,871 models received a 72 hp W400 engine. The interior was also a limited edition release, with the Pontiac screaming chicken logo embroidered on the front door sills and rear seat bulkhead.

16 1967 Lincoln Continental

After appearing as a guest in Kid Rock's music video for his song "Roll On," this 1967 Lincoln Continental has become part of his collection, which he regularly displays at car shows. In the video, Kid Rock travels the streets of Detroit, visiting famous landmarks such as Tiger Stadium, the former home of the Detroit Tigers. The car was chosen because it represented the heart and soul of Detroit, which was well known for its large auto industry and long list of achievements in transportation innovation. The Lincoln Continental was based on the four-door version of the Ford Thunderbird and its large size made parallel parking more difficult than it needed to be.

15 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD

Chevrolet obviously saw something special in Kid Rock's hit "Born Free" and invited him to work on a custom 2016 Silverado to celebrate the song's release. The concept behind the unique build was to include an eye-catching design but with features and functions that appealed to working class guys. A chrome metal and black design was chosen for the exterior, while 22-inch chrome wheels and chrome running boards help make the Silverado stand out. Inside, a Kicker audio system was added, along with door sills emblazoned with the Made In Detroit logo. Kid Rock described his song and the truck as a celebration of freedom and said visiting the Chevrolet factory was one of the coolest things he ever did.

Being one of those who celebrate all things patriotic, Kid Rock also owns this incredible 1969 Dodge Charger replica from The Dukes of Hazzard. Dodge Chargers are renowned for their top speed and aggressive styling and are one of the most coveted and recognizable muscle cars of the 60s and 70s. Although The Dukes of Hazzard helped propel the Charger into the spotlight, Bo and Luke's antics made the cars hard to come by as the production destroyed 325 Chargers over the course of 147 episodes. The Dukes of Hazzard was basically one long episode for the Dodge Charger and its 426 cubic inch engine.

13 1957 Chevrolet Apache

This classic pickup once quietly appeared on Kid Rock's social media, and judging by the condition, is one of his best pickups. The 1957 Apache was the second series of pickup trucks produced by Chevrolet. It was also the first pickup truck to roll off the assembly line with Chevy's new 283-cubic-inch V8 engine. But the Apache became famous for its unique styling, being the first pickup truck to feature a rounded windshield, large open grille, and hood wind panels. It is not easy to track down the Apache, and it is almost impossible to find it in its original form.

12 1963 Ford Galaxy 500

Throughout the 1960s, Ford's slogan was "Total Performance" and the 1963 Galaxie 500 epitomized that motto perfectly. The 427 V8 engine was actually 425 cubic inches, and even today there is a powerful mystique surrounding the 427. The engine was nicknamed the Cammer simply because it was the first engine developed by Ford with an overhead camshaft. At the time, they were approaching NASCAR to allow overhead cameras. After their request was denied, they started producing the 427 anyway, hoping the president of NASCAR would change his mind. The big V8, sleek lines and stylish design of the Galaxie meant that Ford finally had a muscle car that could hold its own.

11 1959 Ford F100

The F1959 '100 Kid Roca is another pickup rarely seen on show, but the collectibility of this classic pickup makes it highly desirable for any serious classic car collector. The F100 was the first 4×4 truck to be available from the Ford factory. The car only had a 292 cubic inch engine, which, given the weight of the truck, was not something out of the ordinary. What Ford lacked in power, however, made up for in build quality. The metal case was incredibly dense, making it almost impossible for the F100 to be dented or scratched. This earned Ford a reputation for making reliable trucks.

The Phantom is the perfect combination of modern equipment and traditional luxury, with typical Rolls Royce styling and some unique features and quirks. One feature sure to appeal to vintage Kid Rock tastes is the rear hinged doors. Undoubtedly, the rock star is also attracted to the musical instruments built into the Phantom: the entertainment system is controlled by violin key switches, and the top air vents are controlled by push-pull organ stops.

8 1973 Cadillac El Dorado

The 1970s were clearly a time when fuel prices weren't much of a concern, and Cadillac released their 1973 Eldorado with an 8.2-liter V8 engine. At the time, the Eldorado was the only luxury convertible on the market that was built in the US and marketed as a personal luxury car. Despite the huge engine, the Cadillac showcase was able to accelerate to 0 km / h in just 60 seconds. Although the Cadillac is slow by today's standards, the car has become a favorite of the lowrider community, and Kid Rock installed a top-notch hydraulic air system on his slow, low cruiser.

7 Polaris Ranger XP 900

Technically, the Polaris Ranger isn't a car, it's a four-wheeled work-life UTV that's perfect for hunting and off-roading. 875 cc four-stroke twin-cylinder engine The CM has been redesigned to give it a perfectly flat torque curve, making Polaris acceleration smooth and precise. Polaris also features a Pro-fit cab that protects the vehicle's occupants from the weather, giving Polaris the ability to operate in all weather conditions, even in heavy snow.

6 Ford Shelby Mustang 2018 GT350

Sometimes when you have a vintage car collection as extensive as Kid Rocks, you want some speed in your life. The 5.2-litre V8 Mustang is a modern muscle car designed solely to satisfy those cravings. The Mustang puts out 526 horsepower to the rear wheels and tops out at 8,250 rpm. It accelerates to 60 mph in less than four seconds. Another eye-catching aspect of the GT350 is the very distinctive warble that turns into a howl when the accelerator hits the floor. This is achieved through the design of a flat crankshaft. Incredible acceleration and driver comfort combine to make the GT350 arguably the most accomplished Mustang yet.
