The second-generation 2005 GMC Sierra 2500HD heavy-duty pickup truck was designed to offer "robust performance, durability, and versatility for both work and recreational use," but GMC engineers likely did not envision the customization that awaited this one.

Powered by a 6.0-liter V8 engine delivering 300 horsepower and 360 lb-ft of torque, this '05 Sierra 2500HD has had a makeover — maybe even two. Featured on “Ridiculous Rides” in October 2023, the Cessna plane car is the creation of Mark Ray, who has a reputation for turning heads in his hometown of Roswell, Georgia, with other custom builds. After selling a previous plane car, he went even bigger with this one, which is 32-feet long and features the fuselage of a 1974 Cessna RAM 421B. Not only does it look like an airplane from the outside, but passengers will feel like they’re riding in one.

Ray's street-legal creation looks slightly different than it did on “Ridiculous Rides.” Among the changes, perhaps made by its second owner, the front end has been replaced by one from a 1954 Chevrolet 6400, it no longer has a propeller, and its tail has received a patriotic makeover. The floors and seats also appear to be slightly different, but the outlandish airplane theme remains.

This customized 2005 GMC Sierra 2500 is now represented at no reserve by a Broad Arrow Specialist with a clean Alabama title.
