Episodes
Willys Rescue, Road Trip, Thrash!
This episode of Roadkill powered by Dodge features a special guest cohost, JP magazine editor Rick Péwé, who has been doing barn-find rescues and road trips with David Freiburger since before there was a Roadkill. Freiburger and Péwé are at it again here, revisiting a 1946 Willys flatfender Jeep they first pulled from the fields of Utah back in 2001.
1,800-Mile Beater Rally!
In this episode, Roadkill signs up for the LeMons Retreat From Moscow event, an 1,800-mile trip from Moscow, Pennsylvania, to Barber Motorsports Park in Alabama.
Junkyard Turbo 5.0 Power for the Rotsun
Roadkill is powered by Dodge, but on this episode, the world's most revered rust bucket gets powered by a used Ford 5.0L Mustang V-8 with a Power Stroke diesel turbo!
Blown Impala vs. Turbo Rotsun!
In this episode of Roadkill powered by Dodge, it's a legit shootout of the performance potential of two hot project cars: the legendary Rotsun 1971 Datsun 240Z that was stuffed with a Ford 5.0L and a Power Stroke turbodiesel on Episode 64, and the 1969 Chevy Impala that's loaded with the 489ci, supercharged big-block Chevy that used to be in Hot Rod magazine's Crusher Camaro.
Junkyard-Rescue 1968 Mustang Mach 1!
An abandoned Mach 1 is a dream find! In this episode of Roadkill powered by Dodge, David Freiburger and Mike Finnegan head to Colorado Auto & Parts in Englewood, Colorado, and visit the Corns family-builders of the crazy radial-Cessna-powered 1939 Plymouth truck you've seen all over the Internet and in Roadkill magazine.
Building Finnegan's Dream-Car Firebird
On this episode of Roadkill powered by Dodge, we do the Tire Rack One Lap of America race the Roadkill way: buying a 1969 Pontiac Firebird that hasn't run in 17 years, changing every mechanical bit of it in three days, and then hitting the road for action!
Racing One Lap of America! Kinda.
The Tire Rack One Lap of America 2017 was a race involving 19 events at 8 tracks over a 3,500-mile road trip. Can you imagine Roadkill surviving that unscathed? No!
Rescuing an Old Drag Race Car
One of the cheapest ways to go racing is to buy someone else's abandoned project car, and that's exactly what happens on this episode of Roadkill powered by Dodge.
Hemi Gasser vs. Hemi Super Bee!
On this episode of Roadkill powered by Dodge, it's the return of two popular, Mopar Hemi-powered Roadkill project cars: Mike Finnegan's "Blasphemi" 1955 Chevy Gasser and David Freiburger's "Rumble Bee" 1970 Dodge Super Bee.
Roadkill's Best Dirt Car Yet!
What's the best way to build a great off-road car? Buy a used desert racer! That's exactly what happens in this episode of Roadkill powered by Dodge. With an urge to go rallycross racing, David Freiburger makes a sight-unseen purchase of a 1973 AMC Hornet that raced Baja in the '80s and finished the NORRA 1000 a couple of times before being parked circa 2012.
Stubby Bob Lives! Huge Wheelstands!
One of the most epic Roadkills of all time is Episode 52, where we took a 1950 Ford dump truck, put a blown big-block Chevy and a Gearstar 4L80E trans behind the cab, powered it through a V-drive, and did a monster wheelstand that nearly killed Mike Finnegan.
1,300 Miles in the Disgustang Junkyard Mach 1!
One of the most popular Roadkill shows of 2017 was Episode 66, where David Freiburger and Mike Finnegan pulled a 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 out of Colorado Auto & Parts, a junkyard where the iconic muscle car had been sitting unused since 1980. Getting it running and driving for some big action was fun, but there was one thing lacking: the road trip. It's time to fix that! The Mustang now known as the Disgustang sat ignored for many more months until the start of this episode where the guys planned to head north from California to the DirtFish Rally School nearly 1,300 miles away. This is Roadkill, so you can guess how far they made it before catastrophic failure-but you also know that Roadkill is virtually unstoppable, so eventually the trip becomes an epic drive with visits to gearhead destinations, including junkyards and an abandoned dragstrip. See it all in this episode of Roadkill powered by Dodge.
