Car KIller!

Car Killer is what happens when a Ford Ranger wants to become a tank

You see, the Ranger-bodied contraption was the creation of a Florida man named Butch Lowe. Nevertheless, the front end was smashed during an RV crushing that took place back in 2016 at the Monster Trucks Gaithersburg event. More importantly, the Ford Big Block engine sitting behind the cab had been hydro-locked due to its vertical exhaust setup allowing rainwater to flow in.

So, after getting a hold of Car Killer, Westen replaced the engine with a Big Block redone in his Kansas shop, performing most of the operation in a field, which is also where he spray-painted the fixed front end.

Underneath Car Killer’s Ranger body sits an Allis Chalmers M4 High-Speed Tractor base, as eagle-eyed YouTube user Blobb2013 figured out. This is an artillery tractor the US Army built between 1943 and 1945—over 5,800 units were made, sharing many components with light tanks, and those that survived WW2 were either shipped to friendly states after the conflict was over, or ended up in civilian hands as is the case here.
