Roadkill

Bigger is always better…or is it? On this episode of Roadkill, Freiburger and Finnegan rediscover and road trip the 440 powered 1971 Chrysler Newport 8-door airport car they found back on episode 106.  Nothing says winter road trip fun like taking 24 feet of rusted out, floorless junk from Fargo down south to some warmer climates and dirt tracks!

What’s your MPQ? That’s right, MPG is so passé. Now it’s all about miles per quart. On this episode of Roadkill, Freiburger and Finnegan set new records of oil consumption in a ’74 Toyota Hilux with a small-block Chevy V-8. Follow along as they road trip to Cleetus McFarland’s Freedom Factory to race in the action-packed 2.4 Hours of LeMullets. Is this the smokiest road trip to date? Find out now!

Where were you in the ’70s? Unless it was carving canyons in a custom widebody Camaro, who cares? What matters is that in this episode of Roadkill, Freiburger and Finnegan acquire all the awesomeness the late ’70s had to offer rolled into one love-it-or-hate-it Mulholland-racer-inspired Camaro. The guys take their sight-unseen purchase on a test run road trip to a very famous racetrack.

What’s better than driving on a world-famous racetrack? Pushing the Rotsun so hard it pukes its guts on said track, obviously! On this episode of Roadkill, Freiburger and Finnegan take the Rotsun, Nascarlo, and the Super Camaro to Laguna Seca Raceway to see how their junk handles the corkscrew and stacks up against a modern V-6 Camaro.

The Bubble is back! On this episode of Roadkill, Freiburger and Finnegan ride high as they test the dragstrip and off-road capabilities of their 1995 Chevy Caprice 9C1. It’s the pink and lifted former cop car on 26-inch wheels that jumps amazingly well and is powered by a 4.3-liter V-8. Will the 262ci engine handle nitrous at the track as well as the suspension handles the desert trails?

The Muscle Truck is back! On this episode of Roadkill, Freiburger and Finnegan get the ’74 Chevrolet C10 LS6-powered Muscle Truck back on the road and tow out the Rogers jet boat in order to upgrade it with twin turbos-all while in the pits of a drag boat race! Will they successfully race the boat, or just blow the rods out of the LS in the worst engine failure of Roadkill history?

For years they have bench raced it, but now it’s finally happening! On this episode of Roadkill, Freiburger and Finnegan are finally making dreams come true as they figure a way to stuff a 426ci Hemi down the throat of their 1975 AMC Gremlin to create the fabled street freak known as the Hemi Gremmie!

It runs, it drives, and it does monster burnouts! On this episode of Roadkill, Freiburger and Finnegan finish up their 1975 AMC known as The Hemi Gremmie and take it for its first road test. With the body on a new chassis, a 426ci Hemi wedged under what remains of the hood, the guys get the suspension and all other kinks worked out before hitting the road for some tire-devouring action.

What happens when you buy a sight unseen ’56 Nash Metropolitan body that is stretched over a ’78 Toyota Truck chassis and powered by a boosted ’88 Thunderbird Super Coupe 2.3L with a T-5 five-speed trans? Well, if you’re Freiburger and Finnegan on this episode of Roadkill, you take it for a test drive by road tripping it around the Pacific Northwest and then thrash it at a local track, of course!

Number matching Mopar? Nope, this is the Death Metal Charger. In this episode of Roadkill, Finnegan and Tony Angelo take the world’s worst ’68 to a whole new turbo-popping, flame-spewing, tire-shrieking level! With the addition of Toyota 2JZ engine and turbo, paired with the Tremec six-speed, Willys Timken rear axle, and Ford F-250 brake drums, the only numbers that matter end with horsepower.

Drag racing on Woodward is back at Roadkill Nights powered by Dodge! This time on Roadkill, the grudge racing is between influencers and Eric Malone from Fastest Cars in the Dirty South. While they battle it out, Freiburger and Finnegan head in reverse by trading a clean Duster for a worse car every day, enabling some true fans to step up their rides while the guys haul away in their old junk.

Taking a 1,000-mile road trip in a ’67 Pontiac Firebird that sat in a barn in Georgia for over 16 years is crazy. But drag racing it every day along the way is true Roadkill. On this episode of Roadkill, Finnegan and David Newbern take the Rubber Duck Firebird on an endurance drag racing event.

This is what you’ve been waiting for: It’s twice the Chargers! On this episode of Roadkill, Freiburger and Finnegan bring their buds Dulcich and Tony Angelo along to take the General Mayhem and the Death Metal Charger for a road trip and thrashing at DirtFish. See how the 440ci V-8 compares to the turbo six-cylinder TJZ in an epic battle of wildly different ’68 Chargers.
