Outrageous-looking Ram 1500 Will Scar Your Eyes & Wallet
Inspired by rapper Lil Pump, this egregious ‘SEMA custom’ Ram has only 38,000 miles and is priced at $200,000.
Kerry King of Slayer once described hair metal as “Van Halen turned up to 11 in all the wrong directions.” The same can be said for today’s hip-hop landscape. Where once the likes of Public Enemy, LL Cool J, and Wu-Tang Clan were driving the scene, today’s hip-hop is the result of taking P. Diddy’s glam-rap, turning it up to 11 in all the wrong directions, then breaking the knob off.
Automotive customization is definitely no stranger to going off the deep end, either, such as this “Custom Lil Pump” Dodge Ram up on eBay and Craigslist right now. The owner is specifically pitching this tragedy to rappers like Lil Pump, Lil Xan, and Lil Skies.
“Think you’re a boss rapper that’s made it?” the seller says in the eBay description. “Anyone can buy a Lambo, make a fat statement and be the only baller riding in this low-rider.” This “low-rider” started off as a 1998 Dodge Ram 1500 Laramie, powered by a 5.9-liter Magnum V8 paired with a four-speed automatic. The 4×4 Ram then went through $200,000 worth of customization, including $18,000 on the color-changing paint, $10,000 on the dollar-sign spinners, $1,000 “Custom Mounted” silver dollars, $2,000 on the carburetor, and $72,000 in labor.
The Ram has around 38,000 miles on the odometer, and apparently “turns heads wherever it goes, whether it’s in Miami, Beverly Hills, the Strip in Las Vegas or Hawaii.” Yeah, those heads were turning away lest they become stone statues upon gazing this “musician & celebrity”-owned abomination. Thankfully, this SEMA Show wonder is locked away in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, per the eBay listing (not in Beverly Hills, California, as the Craigslist posting suggests).
Even if the Ram’s unusual look doesn’t put you off, its price tag likely will. The seller wants $200,000 for this trapathon-mobile, and there is a reserve which hasn’t been met yet as of this writing. We don’t think you can make that much money on Soundcloud. At least, not without Kanye West dropping part of your song on his, anyway.
