‘Iss video ne toh Amplifier gaane ki yaad dila di’ – Fans react as MS Dhoni drives 1973 Pontiac Trans Am SD-455 in Ranchi

Former India captain, MS Dhoni is considered one of the greatest captains in the history of cricket. Apart from his cricketing prowess, he is also known for keeping a lot of bikes and cars at his farmhouse in Ranchi. Some of the best cars and superbikes in Dhoni’s collection include a vintage, left-hand-drive Pontiac Firebird, an Army-grade Nissan 1 Tonne, a Hummer H2, a Harley-Davidson Fat Boy, a Kawasaki Ninja H2, and an X132 Hellcat.

The Chennai Super Kings skipper bought a 1973 Pontiac Trans Am SD-455 last year on Independence Day. It appears to be a left-hand drive. The Pontiac Firebird Trans Am is a 1970s car and is considered a vintage car. The car has a massive V8 Big Block engine. It has a 4-speed Muncie transmission with Hurst Shifter. He was recently spotted driving this car in Ranchi.

In a recent auction in Mumbai, one such Pontiac Firebird Trans Am car got sold for Rs. 68.31 lakh. First of all, the Firebird series came in 1967 for the Pontiac car, and after that other muscle cars arrived in the United States market like the Ford Mustang and Mercury Cougar.

What a collection and what a man MSD is: Venkatesh Prasad

Apart from a 1973 Pontiac Trans Am SD-455, Dhoni also has Grand Cherokee Trackhawk with a 6.2-liter V8 engine, a Nissan 4W73, popularly known as the Jonga 1 Ton, Hummer H2, Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow Series 1, first-gen Audi Q7, Mercedes-Benz GLE, Land Rover Freelander 2 and a Mitsubishi Pajero SFX in his enviable car collection.

Former India seamer, Venkatesh Prasad recently visited Dhoni’s farmhouse in Ranchi and recorded a video showing all the bikes and cars kept in the 42-year-old’s garage. In the two-minute-long video, Prasad was seen with former India selector Sunil Joshi, and Dhoni‘s wife Sakshi Dhoni was doing the camera duties.

“One of the craziest passion I have seen in a person. What a collection and what a man MSD is. A great achiever and an even more incredible person. This is a glimpse of his collection of bikes and cars in his Ranchi house. Just blown away by the man and his passion @msdhoni,” tweeted Prasad.
