Monster Garage was a TV show on the Discovery Channel and was hosted by the famous fabricator Jesse James. The show aired from 2002-2006, and throughout those years many “monster machines” were created with various themes.
Offered here is a full custom-built dragster from the show Monster Garage. It was built using a 1966 Woody Gilmore front-engine slingshot dragster and a New York City hot dog cart. It has a GM ZZ 502-cid crate engine with a Lyons supercharger, MSD ignition and custom headers boasting nearly 1,300-hp. It has a B&M racing manual transmission, Mickey Thompson tires and weighs 1,800-lbs.
